Chapter 346: Mysterious Husband

Natalie tried to speak. "You two..."

"We knew each other even before I got to know you, Natalie," the Queen said. "But that’s a long story. For now, you are the center of attention this evening, so enjoy it."

Natalie glanced at Justin, who simply looked back at her, his expression unreadable. But in her mind, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of complaint—why had he hidden this from her?

Just then, Howard approached them.

"Your Majesty," Howard addressed the Queen, "may I speak with you for a moment?"

The Queen hummed in acknowledgment and turned to Natalie. "Take care of our guest," she said, referring to Justin.

Natalie nodded, and the Queen walked away with Howard.

"Sister, you didn’t inform me about tonight’s event beforehand," Howard began.

"I wanted it to be a surprise for everyone. Even Natalie wasn’t aware of it," the Queen replied calmly.

"Sister, back then, we found Carmen’s body. Are you sure this girl is Carmen’s daughter when Carmen is no longer with us?" Howard asked.

"I am certain of it," the Queen said, turning to Howard, her gaze meeting his directly. "And Carmen is alive. Back then, I don’t know who played such a dirty trick on me, but I won’t be deceived again. I have found my daughter, and I will bring her back soon."

Howard was momentarily taken aback. Though her tone remained calm, there was an unmistakable warning in her eyes. Regaining his composure, he said, "We should really find out who was behind it and ensure they are punished."

"I think the same," the Queen replied.

"I promise you, I will bring the culprit to you soon. Leave it to me," Howard said.

"I look forward to it," the Queen responded.
