Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother - 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.

Justin had also instructed his people in the hotel. They would pay attention to her comfort and security as well.

After reaching the hotel, Caryn looked at the building and knew what it meant to stay there. Just as she sat in her wheelchair and proceeded to enter the hotel, Caryn instructed:

“Eric, keep account of all the expenses of this journey — from the flight to my stay here — and make sure to pay it back to James Harper.”

“Sure,” Eric replied, knowing James would never accept it, but then telling Caryn otherwise was of no use.

“Are you feeling tired after the journey?” Eric asked. “We have to take precautions, as the doctor instructed.”

“I will feel better after some rest.”

Eric straight away led her through a way where they didn’t have to encounter anyone. Even the staff that was around Caryn’s path were wearing masks.

“This way, Ms. Shaw,” a lady staff member said. “This entire area has been isolated and sterilized for you, and even the elevator is only meant for you.”

Eric could not help but say to Caryn, “Your man is quite considerate to prepare everything this way.”

Caryn simply replied with a frown, “There is no need to be this careful now. Doctor said my immunity is quite good. That man is just exaggerating things.”

Eric felt like rolling his eyes. This woman would never appreciate someone’s help and care.

She was given the lavish suite, and everything she needed was well taken care of, as only limited and appointed staff were allowed there, and they followed strict instructions.

Caryn had to rest, even though it was barely an hour-long flight and everything had gone smoothly without even waiting for anything. Her weak body found it exhausting anyway.

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.
