บททั้งหมดของ Married To His CEO Brother: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Stephanie’s POV As much as I hated this man for pretending to be upright, I didn’t like how his daughter would get almost all his inheritance and my daughter would be left with nothing.I needed to secure a better future for my child.At least since I couldn’t destroy Audrey’s relationship with Xander, let me have the wonderful experience of having riches and wealth and stop worrying about who would inherit what.“Eric,” I said, my voice soft but firm. “Audrey is grown. She’s married now, she has her own life. She doesn’t need your estate. I don’t know why you’d even want her to take it. Besides, her husband has enough money to cater for her. You’ve seen it with your own two eyes. She’s covered. But Amelia… she’s young. She still has her whole life ahead of her. Don’t you think she deserves a chance to succeed, to have the same opportunities that Audrey had?”Eric’s jaw clenched, and I could see the muscles in his neck tighten as he glared at me. “Audrey is my blood. She is my daught

Xander’s POVI squeezed her hand gently, encouraging her to continue. Audrey didn’t often open up like this, but when she did, I always wanted to be there to listen, to hold her in the moments when her past felt too heavy to carry alone.I loved the way she was telling me all of this as it made me feel like I was breaking through her strong exterior.She was always acting like she was too strong for me and she didn’t want to show her vulnerability.Even when I sometimes would try to help her she wouldn’t want it.She would instead act harsh and walk out on me.But tonight, I was letting her talk. I just wanted her to talk to me and maybe tell me everything she was thinking of.“I still remember when he would tell me stories of how he used to sit in places like this with mum when they were my age or… maybe younger. I don’t know. The story is a bit fuzzy. But I still remember it all,” she smiled in space with her way glistening with the memories. “He used to say this was their way of es

Audrey’s POV “I know you don’t like the idea,” my father said, his voice remaining calm. “But I want to give her a chance.”Oh but I wasn’t going to let this slide.What did he mean he wanted to give her a chance? What did she do to deserve that chance?She only ate his money and nothing more.She wasn’t interested in the company so what was he even trying to do.“A chance?” I repeated, incredulous. “Why? She’s never shown any interest in the company. She’s never shown any interest in anything other than spending your money and living off whatever scraps she can get from you.”“That’s enough, Audrey,” my father said, his tone sharp now. “Amelia is your stepsister, and I want you to give her the same respect you would give any other colleague.”Yeah, that was going to be tough seeing as she didn’t rate me and I would do the same thing to her.I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “Respect? Dad, she’s not even qualified! She’s never worked a day in her life. She doesn’t care about the

Amelia’s POV Megan snickered. “Brunch is not a reason, babe. That’s an excuse.”“Whatever,” I huffed, falling back onto the pillows. “I hate this. I don’t even know what I’m supposed to be doing. My dad just threw me into this with no warning. And to make it worse, I have to work with Audrey. Can you imagine?”Tina raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. “Oh right, your sister. How’s that gonna go?”I let out a dramatic sigh. “Terribly, obviously. Audrey’s been obsessed with this company since forever. She actually wants to work there. She’s going to be all serious and bossy and expect me to care, and I’m just… not.”Sara flopped onto the bed beside me, staring up at the ceiling. “So what are you going to do? Just sit at your desk and play on your phone all day?”“I wish,” I muttered. “But no. My dad’s going to be breathing down my neck, making sure I actually do something productive. He’s probably going to stick me with a ton of boring paperwork or something.”Tina laughed. “Can you e

Amelia’s POVAudrey did her best to remain silent as she riffed through the papers they gave her to hold.“You know, in this company there are policies that simply cannot be taken lightly and this requires someone who actually knows what they are doing.”Her whole focus was on me now, her lips clenched in irritation as she pushed away from the desk. She walked to where my legs reclined on a polished wooden surface, said nothing, and booted my feet off her desk. I don’t think I had a chance to do anything before my legs were dangling at the armrest of the chair, and my body was shaking from where she thrust it.“Well Amelia, what do you demand?” she asked me without hiding her irritation and the royal dislike expressed in her voice.I smiled and thought of the best witty remark to say in return which I never did because I was struck by the realization that I was now fully immersed in this stupid job. “Say that again? Well, good morning to you too, sis.”Thus she folded her arms on her
