The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 159

Charlotte's sudden move shocked Walter and left Grace stunned.

Grace's expression darkened, and she almost lost her composure.

"Grace, please, I'm begging you, give me back my daughter!" Charlotte broke down, clutching Grace's hands tightly. Her tears and sniffles smeared all over Grace's hands as she sobbed uncontrollably.

"Grace, you've kept my daughter for 20 years. Please have pity on me for losing her for so long. My daughter endured so much with the Langley family. I haven't confronted them because they raised her, but now, all I want is the chance to make it up to her. Please, Grace, let me have my daughter back!"

Charlotte wept, tears pouring down her face. Then, she gave a high-pitched scream. "Grace, I'm begging you!"

"Let go of me," Grace said, her hands trembling as she tried to push Charlotte away. Charlotte had never acted like this before.

"Grace, are you willing to give me back my daughter?" Charlotte asked through her tears, looking at Grace with sorrow. "Grace, my daughter served as a living blood supply for your daughter-in-law all these years. Please have some mercy on her.

"She's human! She feels pain! Her blood is finite! I'm not even asking you to stand up for her. I only want her back. I'll pay you anything. I have money. I'll give you money."

Charlotte kneeled beside the bed. She pulled out her wallet, took all the bills inside, and placed them in front of Grace.

"Grace, I'll pay you. Just give me back my daughter, alright?"

Grace's lips twitched involuntarily. She hadn't expected Charlotte to behave like this so suddenly. She felt lost on how to respond.

Walter stood by for a moment. Finally, he stepped forward and helped Charlotte stand up.

"Mrs. Walker, please don't get so worked up," he said calmly. "Mrs. Langley Senior has always been sensible and broad-minded. She has done countless charitable acts. She wouldn't steal your daughter from you."

Grace wanted to tell Walter to keep quiet, but she was afraid Charlotte would scream even louder, so she let Walter continue.

"Mrs. Langley Senior, Mrs. Walker is really pitiful. She was separated from her daughter for 20 years. If Natalie had grown up with her biological parents, Mr. and Mrs. Langley would never have treated her as a living blood bank.

"Mrs. Walker is a mother who loves her daughter. The fact that she hasn't blamed Mr. and Mrs. Langley shows how much she's endured. Mrs. Langley Senior, please let Natalie go back to her real family.

"Besides, even if Natalie returns to her birth parents, she'll still see you as her grandmother. Instead of losing her, you'll gain a son and daughter-in-law as well. Mrs. Walker, wouldn't you agree?"

Charlotte immediately nodded. "Yes, yes, Mr. Watson is right. My husband and I will certainly treat you like our mother. After all, if it weren't for you caring for Natalie all these years, she might have died from excessive blood draws when she was still a child. She wouldn't even be alive now to reunite with us."

As soon as Charlotte said this, tears rolled down her cheeks again. She slapped her leg and burst into loud sobs.

"My poor daughter… It's my fault. I didn't know you were swapped at birth and caused you to suffer all those years!"

"Mrs. Langley Senior, just agree to Mrs. Walker's request!" Walter said firmly. "Are you trying to push Mrs. Walker to the brink? You're a mother too. Can't you understand how Mrs. Walker feels?"

Grace's fingers trembled. She wanted to curse Walter for speaking nonsense, but she was supposed to have the mind of a six-year-old, so what could she possibly know?
