Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 467

Chapter 467: Ivan’s Call To Natalie

At the Browns, Briena was getting ready as she looked at Ivan, who was leaving for the office without even looking at her.

"Ivan, we have a doctor’s visit at noon for the prenatal checkup," she said. "I will come to your office, and we can go together."

He didn’t look at her but said, "I have a meeting. You can go on your own."

"Ivan," she raised her voice, "not even once have you ever come to the doctor’s with me. Aren’t they both our babies? Not mine alone."

"That only you know," he said and walked out of the room.

Since they married, they had shared the room for the sake of it, but there was no affection between them like husband and wife. Briena had tried her best to get close to him, but he always pushed her away, treating her more like a stranger. Other members of the Brown family treated her the same.

This marriage happened just because Briena claimed it was Ivan’s baby, and at that time, Brown Industries desperately needed the Ford Group’s support in their business to save their sinking company.

Briena followed him out, shouting behind him angrily, "Ivan, you can’t treat me this way. I am your wife."

"Suits you," he said and walked ahead anyway.

The family members looked toward the staircase.

"This bitch started early in the morning," Irene spat out. "Don’t know when we’ll get rid of this disgust."

"I have had enough now. You have to listen to me," Briena followed him toward the staircase and tried to hold his hand to stop him, but Ivan shrugged it off harshly, as if he couldn’t stand her touch, but...

Ahh!!!

Briena lost her balance and fell down the stairs. Ivan tried to hold her, but it was already too late. The entire family was scared and rushed toward her.

Briena was in pain. Blood had started to stain her light-colored dress along her thighs.

They rushed her to the hospital, and the Ford family was informed. While Briena was inside the operation theater, the family members waited outside.

Clara was worried, with Larry by her side, consoling her, while the Browns felt annoyed but had to behave.

"Mom, this man seems so close to Clara Ford," Irene whispered. "If I didn’t know Jay Ford, I would think this man is Clara’s husband."

The woman hummed and said, "This Clara didn’t come from any good background. It’s just that some of her relatives are in good positions in the government—it was all covered."

Irene hummed and said, "I hope that bitch loses her child, and then my brother can get rid of her. I know that’s not his baby."

Both mother and daughter looked at Ivan, who was busy on the phone, talking business. "Doesn’t look like Ivan cares for her even in such a situation."

After a while, the doctor came out and informed them, "I’m sorry, but we couldn’t save the baby. The mother is fine."

Clara was relieved that Briena was fine, while the Browns were relieved that the baby was gone.

Later, when Briena woke up, she found out that the baby was gone. Inside, she was relieved but had to put on an act to control Ivan.

"Mom, Ivan pushed me," Briena cried out. "He killed our baby."

She cried and blamed him with harsh words. Ivan was stunned. Though the push was caused by him, she was at fault—and he didn’t do it intentionally. The Browns denied her claim, as they saw it was by mistake, but Briena was not ready to admit it.

Clara was angry. "I will report you all to the police for trying to kill my daughter. You all will go to jail."

Ivan looked at her coldly. "Do whatever you want," and left.

Briena was shocked to his indifferent reaction as if he didn’t care about himself. But she was determined to teach him a lesson.

"Mom, I want to make a police complaint. I want to see him kneeling in front of me for my forgiveness." Briena declared decisively and Clara agreed to it.

The police complaint was made, and Ivan was taken to the police station, but he remained calm. He was waiting for something. By the evening, he got what he wanted—and was happy to know it.

On behalf of her son, Amelia slammed the paper of the DNA report in Clara and Briena’s faces. "The child was not Ivan’s. Your daughter deceived us all. I’m going to sue her for it. Free my son right away, or this paper will be published in the news immediately."

Clara had no choice but to listen, and Ivan was freed.

The news of this matter spread everywhere like wildfire. The stocks of both companies were affected greatly.
