The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 206

Natalie stayed at Goodwill Pharmacy for half an hour, preparing medicine that Charles would need to consume the next time she met him. She also grabbed some scar removal cream for herself.

She was about to say her final goodbye to the Langleys, and she also wanted to erase the scars Diana had left behind on her body.

She didn't want Charlotte to feel heartbroken and shed tears every time she saw them.

After gathering her things and saying goodbye to the others, she left Goodwill Pharmacy.

…

Back at Holden Residence, Natalie handed the medicine to Connie and carefully explained how to prepare it. Then, she went to see Charles.

Charles was sitting in the dining room. Ever since he returned, he had enjoyed staying there and brewing tea. However, due to his health, he couldn't drink the tea himself. Instead, he would brew it for Connie and Sheldon to enjoy.

When the two of them couldn't finish it, Charles would leave the teapot there, waiting for Natalie and Marcus to return so they could drink it instead.

The moment he saw Natalie enter the dining room, Charles immediately chuckled and called her over. "Nattie, come sit! I brewed a new tea today—it's from Ietaly! Come, have a taste."

Natalie sat down and accepted the teacup Charles handed her. She had barely taken a sip before she frowned. "Mr. Holden Senior, this isn't Ietalian tea! This is Menion tea from Balford!"

"What?" Charles widened his eyes. "That's impossible! The lady who sold it to me even sent me a video of an Ietalian tea plantation!"

Natalie chuckled and set down her teacup. "Mr. Holden Senior, I'm sure this is Menion tea from Balford. The security guards at Quinton Hospital all drink this exact kind.

"Mr. Holden Senior, you really shouldn't trust those online tea sellers so easily. There are a lot of scammers nowadays, and you're too kind and soft-hearted. Scammers probably see you as a VIP client. The moment they get a chance, they'll try to scam you!"

Charles looked displeased. In other words, the tea he had been brewing all this time wasn't from Ietaly, but from Balford?

"Mr. Holden Senior, does Holden Residence really require you to purchase tea leaves yourself?" Seeing that Charles looked a bit downcast, Natalie quickly changed the topic.

Charles shook his head. "Of course not! I was just bored and browsing through stuff online when I came across a pitiful but persevering young lady with a tragic life story.

"I sent her some virtual gifts and left a comment encouraging her to live well, and then she added me.

"Later, I listened to her full story and felt even more sorry for her."

"What story?" Natalie's lips twitched. "Don't tell me—it's the gambling father, sick mother, depressed younger sister, and the broken-hearted girl trope?"

Charles smacked his thigh. "Nattie, you're amazing! That's exactly it!"

Natalie was speechless. "Mr. Holden Senior, she's a scammer. Did you lose a lot of money? Report it to the Federal Trade Commission!"

"Not much, just a little over 100 thousand dollars. But forget it. Perhaps she really has difficulties and had no choice but to lie."

To Charles, 100 thousand dollars was just a drop in the bucket. If the lady truly needed money, then helping her was a good thing.

Natalie nodded. Since that was how Charles saw it, there was no need for her to try to convince him otherwise.

"Mr. Holden Senior, it's about time. Let's get ready for the acupuncture," she said.

"Alright."

Charles stood up. He looked at the various types of "high-end Ietalian teas" he had bought, and he suddenly wasn't sure if he should keep brewing them for everyone.

"Nattie, help me deal with these tea leaves. Don't let Marcus find out!" Charles said, feeling a little guilty. "You see, Nattie… While helping people is a good thing, getting scammed is quite embarrassing."
