Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 242: Obsessed With A Woman As Natalie was sleeping, Justin busied himself with work inside his lavish study room, which could rival the office of any wealthy businessman.

"Mr. Harper, somehow our sources managed to gather information on Aiden Shaw quickly this time," Noah reported.

"That bastard must have let his ends loose on his own," Justin commented.

"Seems like it," Noah said. "If that's the case, we can ask him more things directly, if he's ready to reveal them." "He won't. He'll keep buying tuntil Caryn Shaw is fully recovered, but he also wishes to keep us busy and interested in getting information about him by letting things out slowly," Justin explained. "That bastard's mind..." "Works somewhat similar to yours," Noah added. "I think it could be a good thing since we can see through his plans easily..." "And he can see through ours?" Justin raised a brow and offered a cold glare to Noah. "You think that's a good thing?" Noah immediately shook his head, grasping the situation. "Though the ways are similar, you two are still different people. I'm sure, Mr. Harper, you're far ahead of him. No one can match you." "Flattery won't get you a raise," Justin interrupted. "Tellsomething important." Noah quickly returned to the original topic. "He was adopted by Ms. Caryn Shaw when he was around ten." Justin's hands, working on the laptop, froze, and he looked at Noah. "Ten?" "Around the styou were adopted by Mr. James Harper," Noah added. "At first, his ID was registered as Aiden Handrix, but later, Ms. Caryn Shaw adopted him, and his last nchanged from Handrix to Shaw." Slam! Justin turned angry. "He said I am Aiden Handrix, but then why was his ID made as Aiden Handrix ten years back unless he is the real Aiden Handrix?" He gritted his teeth, anger rising inside him as he thought about the non Natalie's wedding certificate. "If he is Aiden Handrix, then he has to die." Noah understood his over-possessive boss but couldn't help thinking, 'Mr. Harper, there are more important matters than who Ms. Natalie is married to. Whether it's him or you, she's already yours. Now move your brain away from a woman and focus on the main thing-your own identity and where you and your twin cfrom.' He sighed. 'They say a man obsessed with a woman tends to lose all reason. My invincible boss is proving it right.' Justin stayed silent for a while before saying, "So, two kids of one family were lost for sreason. One reached James Harper, and the other one reached the woman he loved, Caryn Shaw? What kind of absurd coincidence is this?" Noah felt relieved. 'No, my boss hasn't lost his reason over a woman yet.' "What are you thinking about?" Justin asked sharply. "During such an important discussion, do you dare let your mind wander somewhere? These days I notice it often. Is this about swoman you're obsessing over? Not allowed when you work for me. Get rid of her." 'The pot is calling the kettle black!' Noah thought and then replied, "Feels like sabsurd movie plot is going on that includes past lovers, their biological daughter, their adopted sons who are twins from unknown family, and a big question who that daughter is truly married to?" Noah summed it up only to hear Justin say coldly- "And in the end, a son adopted by a man kills the son adopted by the woman and then lives with the daughter happily ever after." Noah realized that if his boss was not Aiden Handrix, then Aiden Shaw was as good as dead.

Killing a long-lost brother over a woman? Who's the one obsessed with a woman now, huh? Noah thought.

Natalie woke up just in tfor dinner. She looked toward the large glass window of the room, only to find a dark, starry sky outside.

'How long did I sleep?' she wondered, sitting up in bed. Her head felt dull and heavy, and her back still ached slightly. She looked at the clock in the room. "It's been a few hours already?" she mumbled, holding her head. She reached for her mobile on the bedside table and checked for any calls or messages. Just then, the door opened, and Justin entered the room.

"Good evening," he said, walking toward the bed.

"I slept for a long time," she said, her voice hoarse.

"And that's a good thing," Justin said, glancing at the phone in her hand. "Your friend called." "What did she say?" Natalie asked.

"She wanted to talk about today's matter, but I told her you were sleeping," he replied, pouring water into a glass for her.

She frowned. "It's tto deal with things, and here I was, sleeping and leaving everything to Mia." "The Browns have released a statement," Justin informed her, offering her the glass of water.

Natalie read the statement and didn't react, as it wasn't beyond her expectations.

After a few sips, her throat felt better.

Justin took the glass from her, and she dialed Mia's number. The phone rang for a long tbefore it was finally answered. "What's the matter?" Mia's sleepy voice cthrough the phone.

"Are you sleeping?" Natalie asked in disbelief, thinking her friend must gher have been dealing with everything on En her own and waiting to reach her.

"Then what do you wantto do?" Mia's sleepy and annoyed voice "Though don't have a cthrough. "Though husband to break my back, after working for so many days to prepare for this event and whatnot, now my back hurts as well, and I need rest." "The Browns have released a statement," Natalie said, "and..." "I'm just following the wise words from the great Mr. Harper," Mia said. "Now letsleep, and you sleep as well," and hung up the call.

Natalie looked at Justin, who was standing at the wardrobe, pulling out comfortable clothes for her to change into.

"What did you say to Mia?" Natalie asked.

"It can wait," Justin replied.
