All Chapters of A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

Amber POVGrandfather was furious.I had expected him to be upset after receiving the recordings and the HR reports.I had not expected him to storm into my office less than an hour after I returned to Asher Corporation."They did what?"His voice echoed through the hallway."They threatened you?""And Pamela?"I quietly slid the recording toward him."I thought you should hear it for yourself."He didn't interrupt the audio once.He listened to every insult.Every sexist remark.Every threat.Every disgusting comment directed at Pamela.By the end, his face had turned frighteningly calm.He slowly removed his glasses and placed them on my desk."They're lucky the police arrived first."I couldn't help smiling."I think Jason would agree.""Oh, Jason isn't the one I'm talking about."That made me laugh.Grandfather had always looked like the picture of a dignified businessman.People tended to forget he hadn't reached the top of the corporate world by being gentle.Before I could repl

Iris POVThe first thing I did was look at Alex."Can you check the security cameras?"He didn't even answer.His fingers were already flying across his tablet.A few seconds later, the castle's camera system appeared on the screen."I found them."Mrs. Sun and I hurried to his side.The footage showed Alice and Rose happily skipping down one of the hallways."They're heading toward the kitchen," Alex murmured.The next camera picked them up entering the enormous castle kitchen.Then...Nothing.Alex frowned."That's impossible.""What?""They never came out."He replayed the footage.Again.And again.The girls clearly entered the kitchen.Not a single camera showed them leaving.Mrs. Sun's smile disappeared."Let's go."The three of us hurried toward the kitchen.It was empty.Completely empty.I searched behind the pantry doors while Alex checked every window.Mrs. Sun even looked inside the walk-in refrigerator.No Alice.No Rose."This doesn't make any sense," I whispered."They

Amber POVPamela didn't stop.She didn't hesitate.She didn't even glance in Marcus's direction.It was as if neither he nor Marta existed.She simply smiled politely at the hostess and followed her toward our table.Unfortunately, our table happened to be directly behind theirs.I looked at Pamela carefully as we sat down.She was calm.Too calm.She picked up the menu and started talking about work as if her boyfriend wasn't having dinner just a few feet away with the stepsister who had spent years making her life miserable.I decided to follow her lead.We ordered drinks and chatted about the merger, the new media department, and Emilia's first day as an undercover intern.Then Marta's voice drifted across the restaurant.Loudly.Almost as if she wanted someone else to hear."Marcus, you're incredible."She laughed sweetly."Honestly, you're such a catch."I saw Marcus shift uncomfortably in his seat.Marta continued without noticing."Any woman would be absolutely stupid to let a

Iris POVWe didn't have a choice.The man kept the gun pointed directly at Alex.Every instinct screamed at me to run, but one look at Alex's calm face was enough to stop me.We followed.Alice held Rose's hand so tightly their knuckles had turned white.I stayed beside Alex, trying to think of something, anything, that could get us out of this.Don't panic.Amber had taught us that.Think first.Act second.As we walked through the nearly empty service corridor, I reached into my pocket for my phone.Nothing.My stomach dropped.I checked my other pocket.Still nothing."My phone..."I whispered.Alex glanced at me.He checked his own pockets.Then shook his head almost imperceptibly.Alice did the same."So did mine..."Rose looked close to tears."They took mine too."Someone had stolen every one of our phones while we were trapped in the crowd during the fire alarm.This wasn't random.It had been planned.Every second of it.The man led us through an emergency exit and into the u

Amber POVMarcus looked from my tablet to my bleeding hand before letting out a long sigh.He didn't need an explanation.He already knew.Without another word, he pulled out his phone and dialed Jason.The call connected almost immediately.Marcus didn't even bother greeting him."Of course she knows."A pause."What exactly did you think was going to happen?"Another pause.Marcus glanced at me, then smiled sympathetically."You should probably expect a very angry wife in about an hour."I couldn't hear Jason's reply, but judging by Marcus's expression, he was wisely choosing not to argue."I'll make sure she gets there in one piece."Marcus ended the call before Jason could say anything else.I raised an eyebrow."You make it sound like I'm planning a murder."Marcus shrugged."I've known you long enough.""That's not exactly a reassuring answer.""It wasn't meant to be."Despite everything that had happened over the last half hour, I laughed.Then I remembered why Pamela and I had
