Filed To Story: Mated To Big Brother-in-law
“Family is more important than work. You can’t sacrifice your family time for your work.”
His brows lifted in response. “Oh, really? Does family give you the power that a big business deal can give you?”
Sophia was taken aback by his question.
She was quiet, as she was speechless. How could he compare his family time with a business deal?
She took a few steps back as he rose from his chair, grabbed his suit jacket, and placed it on his wrist.
“Let’s go.”
He walked past her and made his way to the door.
She stared at his back while trailing behind him.
He was a business tycoon for a reason.
It looked like he only liked to do business.
He portrayed that he had no emotions for his family. But she knew that he cared for his family. He cared for his brother the most. She had seen his dark look when she broke the photo frame in his bedroom. There was no other photo in his room but only him with his younger brother. It showed that he loved him the most.
Sophia had a wish to make him understand that he loved his people; why did he never confess it to them?
They walked out of the company. Bryan’s driver was waiting outside for him with his car. They got in the car and headed in the direction of the pack house.
Sophia began to feel nervous the moment the car started to move.
Since the day she spoke with Bryan there on behalf of her brother, she has not gone to the pack house again.
She could recall how displeased everyone was when they learned that she was Bryan’s mate.
His mother’s slap still made her feel pain in her heart. They were very rude to her.
Suddenly, she did not want to go to the pack house.
She turned her head toward Bryan, whose eyes were outside the window.
“I don’t want to go there.”
Hearing her, he moved his head toward her.
“What?”
“Mate, I don’t want to go there. Can you please go there without me?” She asked politely, but her tone was convincing.
She did not have to care for the driver since he had already known that she was Bryan’s mate. He had heard her a few times addressing Bryan as her mate. So there was nothing to worry about.
Bryan returned his gaze back to the window after saying,
“I will be there with you. You don’t need to think about anything else.”
She lowered her head. She knew that once he said something, he would do that. If he wanted her to accompany him, then she would have to go there.
She kept quiet and waited for the car to reach the pack house.
After a while, the car stopped in front of the packing house.
Sophia got out of the car and looked ahead at the pack house. She felt that she had bad memories of this house.
Bryan walked ahead, but when he did not find her beside him, he turned around to look at her.
She inhaled deeply before approaching him.
They entered the pack house together.
In the living room, Bryan’s parents were seated on the couch. So when they noticed her with Bryan, they seemed shocked.
Juliana got to her feet and pointed her finger at her.
“Why are you here?”
Juliana’s eyes shifted toward Bryan, and she frowned at him.
“Bryan, what is she doing here?”
Sophia was shocked by Juliana’s reaction. Juliana was acting like she was a criminal and just came to the pack house after escaping from prison.
She did not know why she hated her so much.
She could understand that what Bruce said to them could really hurt them. But still, they could have at least found out the truth first before behaving rudely with someone.
“She is with me,” Bryan said as he started to walk toward the couches.
Sophia remained motionless at her place, where she was standing at the time. She did not know if she should go behind him or not.
“What do you mean, Bryan?” Harry, Bryan’s father, asked him.
Bryan turned his head to look at Sophia and motioned with his head for her to come over there.
She averted her gaze from him and slowly made her way toward him.
As she stood next to him, he said,
“She is my personal secretary.”
‘Personal Secretary,’ she repeated his words in her mind. Was this the only name he could use to call her?
“What rubbish!”
Julian’s angry tone resounded in the living hall. She looked very angry.
Sophia had an impression in the past that Juliana was a soft woman. But after seeing how she was treating her, she believed she was a cold woman who only loved her sons and did not care about others’ children.
“This girl is a scam. You know she is your mate; then how can you make her your secretary? Did you think about your brother once before giving her a job in your company?”
Juliana was disappointed in her elder son. She could not believe that Bryan could let Sophia stay next to him.
How could he do that after what the girl had done to Bruce?
Sophia tightened her fists while her gaze was fixed on the floor. She had no intention of getting humiliated.
Why did she even come here in the first place? She should have persuaded Bryan not to take her here.
“Bryan, Bruce is not here. It’s better if you send this girl out before he returns,” Harry told Bryan.
Though Sophia’s head was down, she could feel Bryan’s parents’ gazes on her. She knew they were glaring at her.
“Mom, calm dow…”
“No.”
Juliana interrupted Bryan and abruptly moved in Sophia’s direction.
Sophia was caught off guard when Juliana grabbed her arm.
She looked at Juliana and saw hatred shone inside her eyes for her.
“You cheated on my younger son and now set your evil eyes on my elder son. How dare you? Get out. Get out of my house right now.”
As soon as she finished her sentence, Juliana began to pull Sophia in the direction of the door.
Sophia was too shocked to say anything.
At that moment, Juliana was halted by a growl. The growl had shaken Sophia. She did not know if she was the only one who reacted like that.
But then, she came to the realization that Juliana’s hand was trembling around her wrist.
Everyone turned to the person who had just growled.
It was Bryan.
He was giving his mother a stern look.
Juliana let out a gasp when Bryan’s eyes turned red.
Bryan took a deep breath as if he were trying to keep his anger under control. But it was clearly visible that he was furious at his mother.
“Bryan, why are you scaring your mom?” Harry asked, looking a little nervous around his son after the growl.
