Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 365: Natalie’s Real Father

James Harper straightaway ascended the few stairs to get onto that grand podium. Every ounce of his existence emitted confidence, determination, arrogance — the power he held. His sharp gaze scanned the woman sitting in her wheelchair, looking at him, still in shock.

His expression remained the same — cold and aloof — as he looked at her.

"Mr. Harper, good to see you here, but..." the Queen began, not knowing what exactly was going on.

If it had been someone else who disturbed the royal ceremony like this and arrived uninvited while creating such a ruckus, she wouldn’t have tolerated it. But she couldn’t treat someone like James thoughtlessly. James was not the type to act impulsively, and there had to be a reason for him to be here all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty, apologies for intruding like this, but I had to," James said firmly.

The Queen quickly composed herself, awkward in front of everyone. She managed a light smile. "It’s alright, Mr. Harper. You may be part of this ceremony."

"But I am not here to be part of it either," James began as he turned to look at Caryn. "I’m here to take my woman with me."

His words shocked everyone, but James didn’t waver, even when Caryn was glaring at him as if warning him to stop this nonsense.

Everyone followed his line of sight, which was fixed on Caryn. Natalie could not believe her ears. Did he just call Caryn Shaw his woman?

"My woman, Caryn Shaw — mother of my only child, Natalie," James said very clearly for everyone to hear.

"James!" Caryn finally broke her silence, but everyone else had fallen into dead silence.

There was only one question running through everyone’s mind: Did he mean Natalie is his and Caryn’s daughter? Was Natalie’s unknown father, in fact, James Harper?

Natalie had just heard the most shocking revelation of her life — so much so that she forgot to breathe. She hadn’t been this shocked even when she learned she wasn’t Jay Ford’s daughter. But this... this was something beyond shock.
