The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 208

"I haven't checked yet. The other party is a powerful figure. They probably don't want us to find out, so there's not a single trace left behind." William sighed. "However, one thing is certain—the other party has no ill intentions toward us or Natalie. On the contrary, they're helping us."

Charlotte nodded. "But we still need to be extra cautious."

"I got it. Don't worry!"

As the couple spoke, they looked up into the air. It was only when they were unable to see any trace of the helicopter that they finally went back into the villa.

…

In Amberton's Dithoria City Hospital, Grace lay on the hospital bed, while Selena sat in front of her. She kept cursing at Kevin with vulgar language. "Why the hell didn't that old coot give me the shares? He even spat in my mouth!

"Damn that old, stubborn bastard with one foot in the grave! When I think about it now, it makes me feel so sick to my stomach. It's not as if I tried to kill him. I only asked for his shares, and even that was already being lenient toward him.

"Besides, wasn't Langley Group founded by you, Grandma? They've been enjoying the benefits all these years, yet not only are they ungrateful, they even want to use it to threaten our family!"

She continued, "I've never seen someone so utterly shameless and disgraceful. Anyway, I will not allow the grievances Kevin caused me to be settled so easily.

"Grandma, I'm your biological granddaughter. I've endured and suffered so many hardships outside for so many years. You must seek justice for me!"

"Before, you were muddle-headed and always favored Natalie, the fake heiress, so I could let it go. I could overlook the harm you've caused me in the past. But now, you have to stand up for me. You can only ever love me."

"Shut up!" Grace snapped, unable to bear Selena's constant rambling, especially when she used that filthy language—it tarnished her ears.

"Look at the time. Natalie should be arriving soon. When she does, I want you three to get out," Grace said.

"But why?" Selena stood up abruptly. "Why do you want us to leave? I won't do it!

"Grandma, you're not thinking of giving your shares to Natalie again, are you? Listen to me! Natalie already transferred her shares to me, and they're mine now. If you dare to give my shares to her, don't blame me for being impolite to you."

"And how will you be impolite to me?" Grace was trembling with fury, and her fingers shook as she pointed at Selena. "Tell me, how are you going to be impolite to me?"

"Selena, stop talking." Victor stepped forward, covering Selena's mouth with his hand. "Mom, Selena has suffered a lot outside over the years. She's erratic and doesn't know how to speak properly. Please don't take it personally."

Selena tried to say more, but Victor shot her a look and pulled her out of the room.

Diana was sitting to the side in silence. She took a bite of the cut-up apple, stood up, and looked at Grace before saying, "Mom, you don't seriously think Natalie will return to the Langleys and work subserviently, do you?

"You're the real mastermind behind everything! All these years, you've kept me in the dark and deceived me. I thought you really were against us making Natalie donate her blood to me back then! Who would've thought that you're the one with the evilest heart?"

Grace glared at Diana fiercely. "Shut up, you idiot! What do you know?"

"Sure. I'm an idiot, and I don't know anything. But what I do know is that Natalie will never forgive you this time."

Diana had strong objections to Grace's blatant bias against Selena ever since she came home. In fact, she even thought about quietly getting rid of Grace without anyone noticing.

"Mom, while Natalie isn't here yet, could you tell me why you did this?" Diana leaned closer, staring at Grace with a sharp gaze. "I'm really starting to doubt things. Was Natalie really mistakenly taken by the nurse at the hospital? And was Selena really kidnapped and sold by the same nurse?
