Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114: She Betrayed You For A Gigolo

Briena struggled under Natalie’s hold, her eyes darting around, desperately seeking someone to save her. But there was no one around, as the VIP floor was relatively empty.

"Let... go..." Briena gasped, struggling to breathe.

Natalie released her and warned, "Insult my husband ever again, and I’ll make sure that frail neck of yours snaps into pieces."

Briena fell to the floor, coughing violently as she tried to catch her breath.

Just then, Clara arrived, searching for her daughter.

"Briena, what happened?" Clara rushed over and helped her stand up.

"Mother, she... cough!... she strangled me for calling her husband a gigolo. She thinks he’s so great that even I would want him. She’s crazy."

Clara glared at Natalie. "How dare you? Why would my beautiful daughter want a gigolo when she has Ivan—"

"Leave my sister and come to me. I’ll make sure you earn more than you can imagine. I’m already a star, and I can get you a role in the next film I sign. If you love your profession that much, you can be a gigolo for me instead."

Briena’s voice was heard, loud and clear which got Clara and Natalie’s attention.

John stood there, holding a sleek black pen-like device. He smirked at Briena. "Want another reminder of what you asked Ms. Natalie’s husband last night?"

Briena was stunned, utterly speechless, with nothing to say. She had not imagined her talk with Aiden Handrix would be recorded like this.

Natalie glanced at John in amazement. This man seemed to always be prepared for everything.

"I... I was just teasing him..." Briena muttered weakly.

Just then, someone else arrived. It was Ivan and his mother, Amelia.

Seeing them, all the colour drained from Briena’s face. If they found out what she had said to Natalie’s husband...

"What happened here?" Amelia asked as she approached the pale-faced Briena. "Did she hurt you?"

While Ivan looked at Natalie who was looking so different in that off white dress, the way he had never seen her dressed up. Why did she look so beautiful all of a sudden?

Both mother and daughter were scared to say a word to provoke Natalie and if her bodyguard played the audio once more.

Natalie smirked to see the fear of being exposed in their eyes and turned to leave, entirely ignoring Ivan’s presence.

"Where are you going?" Amelia’s angry voice echoed, "I can clearly see you have bullied Briena again and she is so scared to say it."

Natalie turned back as she folded her hands in front of her chest, not in a hurry to leave. "Then, why don’t you ask her why I almost strangled her to death?"

Briena felt her palms turn sweaty while Clara interjected, "Amelia, let her be. You are here to meet father. Let’s go."

Amelia passed Natalie a disdainful glare while Clara looked at Ivan who had his eyes glued to Natalie. "Ivan, why don’t you bring Briena. She is scared."

Ivan snapped out and held Briena, "Are you alright?"

On the other side, John, who was walking by Natalie’s side, asked, "Ms Natalie, why did you stop me? You should have let them hear the recording as well."

"I don’t want the trouble of Sephina Ford coming to me and blaming me for breaking the engagement between those two. My sister is better off busy with him. If she is free, she will keep creating drama in my life. Once again she would try to have what I have- your boss. I don’t want her to go after him or I might truly kill her."

"You didn’t kill her when she went after Ivan Brown, but you do mind if she...."

Natalie looked at him, her gaze icy.

John awkwardly cleared his throat. "I mean, you did well. Or she might truly end up in hell if she were to go after Mr Harper. You just saved her. Also, they both are perfect for each other. Pair of idiots."

"True," finally Natalie spoke and John relaxed.

"The way you strangled her, that was truly impressive, Ms Natalie," He commented.

"Seems like you truly miss bloodshed, don’t you?" Natalie asked.

John simply offered an awkward smile.

"Come to Xyros city with me sometimes, and I will show you the true bloodshed," she offered.

John quietly nodded. He could not dare say what he had been doing before he came to this country with his boss. Maybe Xyros city won’t be able to afford to have him and his boss there.
