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
