I stood still, speechless, as Mrs. Laurent’s words echoed in my head. I couldn’t give her the reaction she was looking for.

“What does Mrs. Laurent mean that I don’t want complications in my life?”

Whispers spread through the crowd like a breeze rustling autumn leaves. I caught Maximus’s eye and gave him a look that told him to stay back. He stopped, letting me handle the confrontation, though his fists clenched at his sides.

“Madam, don’t you think you might be overstepping?” Royal’s voice carried a subtle warning as she positioned herself beside me.

“Oh, come now, Ms. Roy. I’m only pointing out the obvious. Her family has already disowned Dr. Sinclair. I spoke to Chairman Sinclair myself; he told me he couldn’t control his daughter.”

I didn’t know how close my father was to her, but what she revealed wasn’t exactly confidential. Since Mom’s death, my father has had a hard time controlling my decisions.

People always assumed the Sinclair family cut me off, especially since I rar

  • Beyond Betrayal: Marry His Brother   FINAL CHAPTER

    Isla A month ago… When I walked into our small, secure office in Ivan’s building, two of my team members argued. The office was deliberately tucked away here to ensure our work remained confidential, something that now seemed more important than ever. “What’s going on?” I asked, looking between the two men. My team consisted of three people: two men and one woman. The one in his usual sweatshirt—Lucas’s nephew from his cousin’s side, though he didn’t use the Westwood name—exchanged a meaningful glance with his colleague. “Tell her,” the nephew said firmly. The other man, someone I’d always had reservations about due to his questionable reputation, couldn’t meet my eyes. His discomfort was obvious. The woman, who had been silent until now, suddenly stood. Her doll-like face made her look sixteen, though I knew she was closer to my age. “Isla has to know! The work we have been doing for the last four months is at risk!” A knot twisted in my stomach. ‘What is going on?’ The man

  • Beyond Betrayal: Marry His Brother   CHAPTER 234: Decoy

    Meanwhile, in the South… Elara’s lips parted as she stared at her reflection. The doctor the Doyles had hired to restore her appearance was a genius. She now looked exactly like Isla. She hated it, hated seeing Isla’s face looking back at her. But this was the only way to stay by Lucas Westwood’s side… and the only way to get out from under the mess swallowing her family whole. “Remember our arrangement,” the chief of Novexlab murmured, eyes narrowing. “You were the one who suggested pretending to be Isla. And you swore you would do anything to be our eyes inside Lucas Westwood’s group.” A tremor went through her. There was no point arguing. It was too late for that. Her mind drifted to how it all began four months ago. Within two days, her cover was blown. The Doyles saw through her lies immediately, but instead of exposing her, they’d made a counter-proposal: they wanted her to become Isla, thoroughly and convincingly. The rest of the plan was simple and cruel. The real Isl

    The Fosters were in deep trouble. What had once been a slow trickle of lost clients had now turned into a complete shutdown of their operations, with several of their top officials staring down the possibility of jail time. One reason Elara had called her friend Conrad was the hope that he could help her out of this mess. She refused to lose and let Isla take what should rightfully be hers. “Conrad, I need to talk to my mother’s family,” Elara said firmly. He didn’t hesitate. “Then you’ll have to coordinate with Isla. She’s the one with connections to the Doyles.” Elara’s brow furrowed. Why was Conrad so challenging to deal with today? Didn’t he get it? Isla had gotten bold, going after her and their father ever since she hooked up with Lucas Westwood! And every single one of Elara’s attempts to break them up had blown up in her face. “Conrad, you know perfectly well that Isla and I aren’t exactly on speaking terms right now. She’s the reason my family’s in jeopardy! She worked fo

    The contract extension with Sinclair Enterprise was already prepared at the Foster office and was awaiting signatures. They expected Gazelle to arrive any moment, though she was already two minutes late. “Are you sure Ms. Ferrero is coming?” Mr. Foster asked, glancing at his daughter, Elara, who sat comfortably in a swivel chair. She’d been invited as one of the key people in the meeting. Elara smiled with quiet confidence. Gazelle had finally agreed to meet them once again, after they’d given in to Gazelle’s demand for a lower contract price. With the company in crisis, the Fosters couldn’t afford to lose this deal. “She’s on her way. Ms. Ferrero just messaged me. It is probably because of Isla. I am sure she is scheming to keep us from closing this deal,” Elara said with a smug smile. Before Mr. Foster could respond, his assistant announced through the intercom that Ms. Ferrero had arrived. When the conference room doors opened, Gazelle entered with an entourage that nearly match

    All eyes turned to Gianna. While they were busy, Maximus escorted us to Lucas’s vehicle. “Keep me posted about her,” Lucas said, his voice laced with concern. Maximus gave a short nod. He wasn’t much of a talker, and I could tell he kept his guard up around me, though he chose civility, especially in the home he shared with Gazelle. My stomach twisted with worry, and I felt utterly helpless. But today, Lucas proved he would trust me, even if others didn’t. He opened the passenger door, steadying me with a hand on my elbow before circling to the driver’s side. “Don’t dwell too much on what happened earlier,” he said gently. “I meant what I said. Ivan gets sharp-tongued when he’s protective; it’s how he protects the people he cares about, but I can show him you’re worth trusting.” “That’s what worries me, Lucas. You’ve already put yourself on the line for me with your family, and now your friends. I’m not even sure I deserve the attention you’re giving me.” I turned to meet his ey

    “Isla, I don’t have a wife or children. Where did you get that idea?” Lucas asked, and I froze. But then he sighed, correcting himself. “Actually… that’s not entirely true. I was married once.” My lips parted in shock as tears continued streaming down my cheeks. “I married a woman my mother insisted on, for reasons I never fully understood.” “Assistant Emma from the Ferrero Group?” I asked in a low voice. Lucas nodded, his jaw tightening at the name. “Where is she now?” I asked again, unable to contain my curiosity. “She passed away six years ago… after kidnapping my friend Gazelle.” There was a pause. He looked ahead, like he was searching for the right words. “Emma is the reason I haven’t slept properly in years. I want you to understand, our marriage was never real. We were husband and wife only on paper, nothing more. But because of what she did, I lost the trust of people who mattered to me.” Gazelle is Maximus Ferrero’s wife, and Maximus is one of Lucas’s closest friend
