Betrayed? I Upgraded to His Billionaire Brother novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271

was just wrapping up my last patient consultation when my phone buzzed. Benjamin’s name flashed on the screen. Sliding my finger across, 1 answered. ucking the phone between my shoulder and ear as I cleared up my desk.

Elara,” his calm, familiar voice came through. “Got a moment? There’s a medical project at the Sinclair Group’s New York branch I’d like to discuss with you. hink you could swing by when you’re free?”

ounded interesting. “Sure. My schedule’s clearing up now. I’ll head over shortly.”

fter finishing my notes and checking the time, I grabbed my bag and coat.

he Sinclair building was a landmark I’d passed countless times. Prime real estate, with an architectural style that was both imposing and sleek – hard to miss. till, walking through those grand entrance doors always felt like stepping into another world.

nd wouldn’t you know it, the universe just loves throwing curveballs. The moment I stepped into the expansive, marble floored lobby, I spotted a familiar nd utterly unwelcome – face.

melia. Ugh.

ver since that old bat from the Windsor family sicced her on the Sinclairs, she’d been camped out here for days, from what I’d heard. And by the looks of it, sh was getting nowhere fast. The receptionists and security had clearly become experts at blocking her path. She hadn’t even gotten close to the elevators.

tight now, she was leaning over the reception desk, her voice tight with frustration. “I’m telling you, I can treat Mrs. Sinclair’s leg condition. Just let me upstairs 11 explain everything to Mr. Sinclair Junior myself and make sure he doesn’t blame any of you.”

he was losing her patience. Big time.

he receptionist, a young woman with a perfectly polished smile, didn’t flinch. “I’m sorry, ma’am. If you’d like to meet with President Sinclair, you’ll need to chedule an appointment through his secretary-”

melia cut her off, her hand slapping down on the counter. “Do you even know who I am? I’m the eldest daughter–in–law of the Grayson family! The CEO of Grayson Corporation himself calls me sister–in–law. You need to learn some flexibility. Let me up, and when this works out, you’ll be rewarded. Trust me.”

walked closer, her entitled words washing over me. I chose to ignore her completely, turning to the other, unoccupied receptionist. “Hi,” I said, my voice calm. I’m Elara. I have an appointment with President Sinclair.”

Elara?”

o much for a clean escape. Amelia’s head snapped toward me, her eyes narrowing. “What are you doing here?”

felt a faint crease form between my brows. I had zero intention of engaging. Not a single one.

ler gaze swept over me, head to toe, and a nasty, knowing smirk twisted her lips. “Don’t tell me you’re trying to use this treating Mrs. Sinclair‘ thing as an xcuse to cozy up to Benjamin Sinclair?”

his bitch. Seriously.

‘resh out of a divorce, and already, in her mind, I was juggling Gavin and setting my sights on Benjamin. Desperate much?

A cold laugh escaped me. I kept my voice low, but clear enough for the few curious onlookers nearby to catch every word. “You seem awfully familiar with that actic. Then again, you always did hang around Zane a little too much for just a ‘sister–in–law‘…”

“Elara!” she shrieked, her face flushing a blotchy red. “How dare you! It’s you who’s desperate to climb the Sinclair social ladder! Have you looked in the nirror? A divorced woman like you–what makes you think you’re even-”

She was too busy hissing her venom to notice the soft ping of the elevator doors opening behind her.

Benjamin emerged, his long strides eating up the distance. He caught her last words, and his expression turned to ice. “Are divorced women inherently worthless in your eyes?”
