Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 344

Chapter 344: Welcoming The Princess

"I shall start getting ready," Natalie said as she picked up the beautiful gold shimmering dress.

Justin hummed in response, and the next moment, there was a knock on the suite’s door. The door opened, and Noah entered, leading a man and a woman inside with him.

"Mr. Harper, they are here."

Natalie looked at the newcomers, wondering who they were, only to hear Justin say, "They’re here to help you get ready."

As Natalie glanced at the dress, the accessories, and everything else, she realized it was a good choice—not having to rack her brain over makeup and hairstyle. She would rather let others decide for her.

Before heading inside the room to get ready, Natalie asked, "Aren’t you getting ready as well?"

Justin gave her a questioning look. "You’re invited too, right?"

"You want me to come?" he asked.

She hummed. "I’d be happy if you could. Being alone among strangers is boring."

He didn’t respond directly but said, "Get ready, or you’ll be late."

Natalie didn’t insist—she knew he preferred to remain in the shadows.

In the evening, all the guests had arrived at the palace to attend the farewell banquet arranged by the Queen for those who had been invited to the Belvorn yearly festival.

As it was the final event, reporters had gathered to capture the last glimpses of distinguished guests from around the world. Luxury cars began arriving at the majestic palace, with security guiding the guests toward the grand banquet hall, which had been beautifully decorated. Soft, elegant music played in the background as renowned singers entertained the attendees with a live performance, and various other forms of entertainment had been arranged for the evening. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

Seated in her car, Natalie headed toward the palace as well. She had refrained from asking Justin to accompany her, as he hadn’t expressed any intention of coming. Still, in her heart, she wished he could be there with her.

Upon arriving at the palace, unlike other guests, her car was directed toward the Queen’s residence—the main part of the palace—rather than the banquet hall.

Inside the royal banquet hall, all the guests and members of the royal family were present, awaiting the Queen’s arrival.

"Charlotte, I don’t see my sister...I mean Natalie here," Briena remarked.

"She has no reason to be here now that James Harper has left. She probably couldn’t find a rich man this time to bring her along," Charlotte replied with a disdainful tone, all while maintaining a falsely elegant smile as she mingled with the crowd.

Briena felt relieved that Natalie hadn’t made an appearance. "Charlotte, this is the final day, and Her Majesty will personally meet all the guests."

"Yes," Charlotte affirmed.

"Can you help me get some good pictures with the Queen? Once I return home, I can rub it in Natalie’s face," Briena added.

Briena smirked, thinking, So that bitch truly wasn’t invited.

Charlotte shared the same sentiment. I was worried for nothing. She has no place at such a grand event.
