A Woman Worth Billions Dated the Wrong Brother novel Chapter 297

Pamela’s stepsister.

Amber POV

Jason and I looked at each other after the call with Iris ended.

Neither of us spoke for a few seconds.

“The kids found it,” I finally said.

Jason nodded.

“The hidden entrance.”

“And the steel door.”

A smile tugged at the corner of my lips.

“We spent weeks trying to find time to investigate it.”

“And they found it because they got bored.”

Jason laughed.

“That sounds about right.”

I leaned back in my chair.

“Maybe they’ll solve the treasure before we do.”

“I honestly wouldn’t be surprised.”

Neither would I.

Between Alice’s creativity, Rose’s curiosity, Alex’s logical mind, and Iris keeping the three of them alive….

They actually made a surprisingly effective team.

“I just hope they don’t blow up the castle.”

Jason raised an eyebrow.

“Again?” 1

I looked at him.

“…It happened once.”

“It happened twice.”

“Those were experiments.”

“They were explosions.”

I sighed dramatically. 1

“Details.”

Jason chuckled before glancing at his watch.

“I have to go.”

Construction meeting?”

He nodded.

“The new logistics center.”

I stood and straightened his tie.

“Don’t work too hard.”

“I was going to tell you the same thing.”

We shared a quick kiss before leaving together.

He headed toward Sun Corporation.

I met Pamela outside Phoenix Ashes’ temporary offices.

She looked far more relaxed than she had the day before.

“I’m glad you came.”

“I told you I would.”

We had barely started walking when her phone rang.

Pamela glanced at the screen.

Her smile disappeared.

“My stepmother.”

“You don’t have to answer.”

She shook her head.

“If I don’t, she’ll just keep calling.”

Pamela answered.

“Hello.”

I politely stepped a few feet away, pretending to admire one of the storefronts.

It lasted less than thirty seconds before the shouting became loud enough for me to hear anyway.

“You are being unreasonable!”

Pamela remained calm.

“I’m not marrying him.”

“You don’t have a choice!”

“I do.”

“If you refuse, we’ll cut you off completely.”

“I don’t depend on you.”

ou’ll regret this!”

The call ended abruptly.

Pamela slowly lowered the phone.

I walked back over.

“…Want to tell me what that was?”

She rolled her eyes.

“My stepmother.”

“I guessed that part.’

Pamela sighed.

“She’s trying to marry me off.”

“To whom?”

“A businessman.”

She paused.

“Well…”

“A creepy old businessman.”

I blinked.

“How old?”

“Sixty-two.”

I nearly choked.

“…You’re joking.”

“I wish.”

We continued walking.

“They’re threatening to cut me off financially if I don’t marry him.”

I looked at her.

“But…”

She suddenly smiled.

“They don’t know something.”

“What?”

“The house they’re living in.’

I frowned.

What about it?”

“It isn’t theirs.”

She couldn’t stop smiling now.

“It belonged to my mother.”

“My mother left it to me.”

I stared.

“They’re living…”

“…in your house.”

She nodded happily.

“They’ve spent years acting as though they own it.”

“They don’t.”

“And they have absolutely no idea.”

I burst into laughter.

“So they think they can pressure you financially…”

“…while living in your property.”

“Exactly.”

I shook my head.

“That’s almost poetic.”

She grinned.

“I don’t rely on them.”

“I haven’t for years.”

“I’ll be fine.”

Even so…

An idea crossed my mind.

“Pam.”

She looked at me.

“Move to Sum.”

She blinked.

“…What?”

“The castle.”

ou already have a room.”

“I miss you.”

She smiled softly.

“You could keep working remotely.”

“The media department is stabilizing.”

“And…”

I nudged her shoulder.

“…I’d like my best friend nearby.”

She looked genuinely touched.

“I’ll think about it.”

“I mean it.”

“We have more than enough room.”

“And Emilia starts tomorrow.”

Pamela nodded.

“The intern.”

“She’ll let us know if anything strange happens.”

“Exactly.”

A mischievous smile slowly spread across Pamela’s face.

“Speaking of strange…”

She grabbed my arm.

“We’re shopping.”

I laughed.

“Now?”

“We haven’t gone shopping in forever.”

She wasn’t wrong.

I pulled out my phone and sent Jason a quick text.

Going shopping with Pamela. See you later.

Three seconds later…

My phone vibrated.

Pure opto-

Wait for me. I’ll be there in twenty minutes.

Nooked at the message.

Then quietly locked my phone.

“What did he say?”

Pamela asked.

I smiled innocently.

“Nothing important.”

The truth?

I was still slightly annoyed.

He had told Iris and the kids they could go to the mall.
