Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 326: Three Rules

"The seventeenth of next month? This month is almost over, which means there aren’t many days left. I need to prepare a gift for him. Maybe I’ll find something at tomorrow’s charity event."

She stood up once more and grabbed her bag. "I need to have a proper dress for tomorrow’s event. Can’t go with ’The James Harper’ looking all lame."

She headed to the nearby mall with John and Ryan. She didn’t have much time left in her hands. Meanwhile, she also received a message from James’ assistant Lucas about the time when she had to leave with James.

In the evening, Natalie was ready in a beautiful floor-length evening gown made from a silky, satin-like fabric in a soft, muted blue shade. The one-shoulder design added a sophisticated and asymmetrical touch to her look. The fabric was expertly draped and ruched at the waist, creating a flattering, form-fitting silhouette.

The high thigh slit on one side added a hint of allure while allowing for ease of movement. The overall design exuded glamour and refinement, making it perfect for such an occasion. She paired the dress with strappy white heels, further enhancing the elegant aesthetic.

There was a knock on the door of her room as she heard John’s voice. "Ms. Natalie, time to leave."

Natalie picked up the stylish clutch and walked out of the room. When she reached the hotel entrance, a black luxury car stopped in front of her. Ryan opened the door of the back passenger seat for her, and she sat inside.
