Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 359

Chapter 359: Meeting A Mother

The next day, when Natalie was finally calm and out of her sorrow after the long sleep the entire night, Justin informed her.

"Your mother has gone to Belvorn."

"What? When?" Natalie sprang out of the bed. "She didn’t tell me. Is there something to worry about? That Howard and his son..."

"Calm down," Justin assured her. "It was a last-moment plan she made. She left this morning."

"Umm... as long as everything is fine." She hugged Justin. "It’s good she meets her mother."

Justin hummed, and she looked up at him as if she realized something. "She had gone there alone, without any security?"

"Do you doubt her smartness?" Justin answered. "Don’t worry, she will be fine."

Even though Caryn had her own security, James Harper had arranged it all for her — from his private jet to rows of highly trained security guards. Justin was aware of it, and he knew he didn’t have to worry about this matter. But he couldn’t tell Natalie yet, as she was unaware of the kind of relationship James had with her and her mother. He would wait for them to reveal it to her on their own.

For now, he could just have her for himself.

"Now go get ready. You didn’t eat anything yesterday. Everything you like has been prepared for you."

Like an obedient girl, Natalie pecked his cheek and ran off to the bathroom.

Meanwhile, at a certain residence inside the Belvorn royal palace.

"Father, Caryn has entered Belvorn. She is going to meet the queen soon," Garwin blurted out anxiously. He was still stuck in the wheelchair after his accident. "Our plan was to finish her before she could come to Belvorn..."

"I know," Howard said, trying to remain calm. "We can’t be reckless and do anything to her."

"Then once she is here, she will expose us," Garwin added, panicking even more.

"I am sure she doesn’t have any proof against us," Howard assured. "For now, keep quiet and let’s see what she is up to. Later, we will get many chances to end her life."

"That day she called us to warn us and tell us she was returning. She sounded like she had proof against us."

"If she had, she wouldn’t have kept quiet for so long," Howard said with certainty. "Calm down and behave yourself when we come across her, got it?"

"Yes, Father."

"Tell Charlotte to behave as well and not create any trouble," Howard warned. "She acts smart and then falls into their traps. Caryn is worse than Natalie, and Charlotte won’t be able to handle her."

"Yes, Father."

Caryn had reached Belvorn. On the way from the airport to the hotel, she continued to look outside the window.

The memories she had about this city from forty years back seemed to be entirely blurred, as this place had changed drastically. It wouldn’t be wrong to say she had no memories of this place at all.

Instead of the palace, James had arranged her stay in the hotel where Natalie and he stayed — the one Justin owned. It was a safe place for her in case her enemies tried to act. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

Just as Eric settled her in bed, his cellphone rang. Caryn happened to notice the name on his screen, while Eric said, "It’s..."

"Tell him I am dead," she spat out and closed her eyes to sleep.

Exhaling to calm himself, Eric received the call as he stepped out of the suite. "She is alright and resting now, Mr. Harper."

The man said something from the other side of the line, to which Eric hummed and hung up the call.

Just then, another call came through. It was from Aiden. He was not in favor of letting Caryn go without him, but he had to follow her wishes. He was still stuck in the wheelchair, and his presence by her side was a nuisance anyway. But he had made sure to give strict instructions to his people — the security Caryn had — to protect her well.

Eric told him Caryn was fine and that he didn’t have to worry about her.

In the evening, the queen was eagerly waiting for her daughter’s arrival at the palace, as she had invited her to have dinner together. Since the moment the queen had received the call — where the woman claimed to be her daughter coming to Belvorn — her heart couldn’t be calm anymore. The anticipation of seeing her daughter was overwhelming her.

Now there was no obstacle in her way to see her daughter. She could get rid of the threats and even meet her daughter openly.

"Your Majesty, please calm down," the caretaker instructed softly. "I understand your excitement, but..."

"I am trying, but my heart seems to not listen to me," the queen said, her face lit up and her eyes brightened.

"They are here," the assistant informed.
