Chapter 137: Aiden Handrix Is Real

The news on the TV shifted, now showing Victor’s statement addressing the uproar caused by his fans. His manager, Roy, had posted the statement on Victor’s behalf:

After reading the statement, Victor’s fans seemed to calm down, their anger and frustration visibly dissipating.

"Grandma...." Briena started, watching the news with anger. "Why am I the one to suffer always and that Natalie escapes unharmed. Why does it happen all the time?"

Sephina called for her assistant.

"Call Ken and get some other information related Natalie’s company, something more useful," Sephina ordered.

The assistant made a call and he seemed to hear something useful and passed the call to Sephina.

A wicked smirk appeared on Sephina’s lips as she hung up the call.

"What happened mother?" Clara asked, anticipating something good.

"Natalie just got herself into a deep shit," Sephina replied with evil grin. "A time to remind her of her old wounds and let her know she is nobody."

Inside Justin’s office...

"So, there really is a man named Aiden Handrix—it’s finally confirmed," Noah said as he placed a tablet in front of Justin. "Before, it felt like chasing the wind, as if someone was trying to mess with us. But now, we have proof. This man’s image was caught on a camera when he entered the country around the same time he registered his marriage with Ms. Natalie."

Justin looked at the image, which was not clear but he could feel as if he himself was caught on the camera. His eyes narrowed at the man in the image who had stepped out of the cab and was paying the driver.

"So, there really is someone who looks exactly like me," Justin commented, his gaze narrowing at the picture.

"Initially, I thought it was you, Mr. Harper," Noah admitted. "But a year and a half ago, you were definitely not in this country, let alone in this city to register a marriage."

Justin hummed thoughtfully, his eyes still fixed on the screen.

"What’s on your mind, Mr. Harper?" Noah asked, curious about his boss’s reaction.

"Is plastic surgery advanced enough now to create a face as handsome as mine, down to every detail the same?" Justin mused quietly. "I can’t let Natalie meet this man, even if he Noah was taken aback by what he had heard. ’Mr Harper, I don’t think she is your step-sister anymore.’

"I know how she looks at me. She’s not allowed to look at him that way." Justin continued, his voice dropping dangerously low. "Tell our people I want that man captured as soon as possible. And don’t make me have to come there personally."

Noah swallowed hard, ’No one would want you to be there personally. They would rather find that man quickly and kill him. For them, killing someone is easier than having to face the demon.’

"Did you try to find out what Natalie was doing that day?" Justin asked.

"Surprisingly any evidence of her going to the city hall to register her marriage is not there. That person must have cleared all the evidences just like he had cleared about his own whereabouts," Noah answered. "Maybe we should just ask Ms Natalie now?"

"If she knew, she wouldn’t be surprised about her own marriage," Justin commented, "But I will ask her the record of her whereabouts that day."

"That would be truly helpful, Mr Harper. Because after that one picture, we don’t know where this man went. Everything is blank," Noah added, "Maybe through her, we might get more information of how that man managed to do all this without her even realising it."

Justin hummed, only to hear Noah again. "That movie Briena Ford was featured in, won’t see the light of the day."

"Good," Justin hummed in satisfaction. "Anyone who offends her, would only be seeking to go to hell and it’s just the start."

Justin returned home. Julia had already left the city and retuned Bayford. Now that left only Justin and Natalie home alone.

Both of them happened to arrive at the same time. They stepped out of the car and Natalie was surprised to see him back so early.

As they walked towards the elevator, Natalie asked, "Seems like the global CEO of Harper group lacks work in hand to arrive home so early."

"This CEO wished to see certain someone, so he left all the work aside," Justin answered as he pressed the button of the elevator, and both stood waiting for it to arrive.

"I am afraid if you continue to push the work aside for that certain someone, the Harper group would go bankrupt and Mr CEO would be on the road," Natalie commented, both entering the elevator.

The door closed and Justin said, "Even if this CEO is on the road, that certain someone has agreed to let me be her gigolo and live off of her money."
