Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 332

Chapter 331: Absurd Claim

The entire hall was enveloped in dead silence as everyone processed what had just happened.

Two billion had just been wasted—just like that.

Ivan clenched his fists. He had wanted that perfume, but not only did Natalie get it—she had dared to break it.

"Ivan, she did it on purpose," Briena whispered. "I told her before that we were here to get this perfume. I’m sure she did this just to mock us."

"She acts like she doesn’t care, but in reality, she’s just jealous of seeing you two together," Irene added.

Ivan’s anger grew.

That perfume could have been his breakthrough—but Natalie had snatched it away, out of jealousy...

The Queen watched in surprise, intrigued by Natalie’s sudden action. She had always appeared calm and composed, so what had prompted this?

"Grandpa, how dare she act this way?" Charlotte hissed to Howard. "I need to teach her a lesson today."

"Go ahead."

Seeing that Howard didn’t stop her, Charlotte saw this as the perfect opportunity. She stood from her place, her posture regal, her expression filled with pride as a princess.

"Natalie, how can you behave so ill-mannered at a royal event—in the presence of the Queen, no less?" Charlotte’s voice rang with authority. "Are you openly disrespecting my grandmother?"

She pointed at the shattered glass.

"You broke the perfume bottle that Dew especially created in honor of the Queen! But instead of keeping it, Her Majesty graciously decided to use it for charity purposes. Is this how you treat a precious gift offered by the Queen herself?"

Natalie simply looked at her, a light smirk playing on her lips.

"After bidding, it was given to me. And as far as I know, no law can punish me for breaking my own possession."
