Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 335: Boldly Dangerous

James didn’t answer Howard but instead looked at the queen. "Your Majesty, though Justin couldn’t make it, I believe it’s fine if one representative from the Harper family and Harper Group made it here in your honor. Perhaps next year, it will be Justin instead of me."

The queen smiled at him. "Of course, Mr. Harper. I am glad you made it here despite your busy schedule. I look forward to meeting your son in the future. I am sure he is as amazing as his father."

James simply offered a light smile to the queen, a gesture of respect.

Natalie smiled inwardly at how blatantly James ignored Howard while remaining respectful to the queen. He had made it clear that, aside from the queen, he did not value the rest of the family.

She noticed something, ’Oh, he smiled as well. That’s a surprise.’

Howard chimed in, "We do look forward to meeting your son, Mr. Harper. No one has ever seen him, which makes it even more exciting."

In response, James simply sipped his coffee. Seeing James remain non-responsive, Howard turned to the queen. "Dear sister, I am planning to let Charlotte handle our company’s project in the Imperial City, which we have in collaboration with the Harper Group."

The queen hummed. "That seems like a good idea."

Howard was pleased to hear this and turned to James. "Mr. Harper, when Charlotte comes to the Imperial City, let her learn business from your son. It would be very helpful for her."

James set his coffee mug on the table and replied without even looking at Howard. "Though he is my son, I have no control over his decisions or the people he chooses to interact with. But if you want your daughter to meet Justin, perhaps you should try making it happen on your side. I can’t ask him to meet anyone. We work entirely separately and never meddle in each other’s matters. If you have any business with me, feel free to talk to me about it."

With this, James made it very clear that no one should ask him about his son.

Howard’s expression soured, but he controlled himself and forced a smile. "That’s good. You have given him complete freedom—no wonder he is so courageous and is said to be the most capable businessman of his generation across the world."

James simply hummed in response.
