Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 345: Wife’s Wishes

A stunned silence filled the room. Everyone turned toward the entrance, their eyes widening as a stunning young woman walked gracefully down the aisle.

The sight before them was mesmerising.

Natalie looked breathtakingly beautiful in a glamorous, off-the-shoulder, champagne-colored evening gown. The delicate fabric was adorned with fine gold embroidery, giving her an air of ethereal elegance. The dress featured a form-fitting mermaid silhouette, hugging her perfectly curved body before flaring out at the hem, creating a dramatic yet regal effect.

The off-the-shoulder neckline, with delicate draped sleeves, added to the sophistication and romantic allure, accentuating her delicate collarbone and shoulders. Her light makeup enhanced her smooth, radiant skin, while her hair, styled in a beautiful loose bun, was adorned with intricate accessories. A few soft strands were left free, dancing along her slender, swan-like neck.

The long, flowing hemline of the gown, pooling slightly at the bottom, enhanced the regal aesthetic. The look was completed with delicate jewelry and matching heels, exuding a perfect blend of modern glamour and classic elegance—luxurious, vintage-inspired, yet undeniably striking.

The entire hall remained frozen in awe, their gazes locked onto the ethereal beauty who had just walked through the grand doors.

Natalie continued walking toward the Queen, who greeted her with a soft smile, her eyes filled with warmth as she welcomed her real granddaughter before the entire world.

Cameras from the media houses began flashing nonstop as everyone finally emerged from the shock brought by the Queen’s words.

Charlotte stood frozen, as if trapped in a nightmare rather than reality. Howard and Garwin were equally stunned, but in front of the gathered guests, they could do nothing. They knew the truth—denying it now would expose what they had been hiding for so long.

Briena and the other friends whispered in disbelief. "What’s going on? Why is that bitch here?"
