The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 255

Victor received a harsh beating in the van.

By the time they reached the Langley residence, the private bodyguards had tidied up his clothes and wiped his face and hands with wet wipes.

They had avoided hitting his face and hands, so there was no outward sign of injury.

The bodyguards dragged Victor out of the van. Charlotte stepped out of her luxury sedan, smiling pleasantly at him.

"Mr. Langley, are you pleased with my little welcoming gift?"

Victor burned with anger and nearly cursed at her. But one look at the people Charlotte had brought made his anger vanish instantly.

"V-Very… pleased," he said. His whole body throbbed.

Who else would treat someone to a so-called "welcoming gift" by beating them senseless in a van?

He was furious but dared not show it. He had visited Dithoria once and discovered that the Walker family was the wealthiest in the country.

Even as the richest man in Amberton, he couldn't act like a big shot in front of the lady of the Walker family.

If he had known, he would have treated Natalie better when she was little. That way, now that she had reunited with her biological parents, the Walker family might have supported the Langleys out of appreciation for raising her.

All he felt now was regret. But time couldn't be rewound, and what was done was done.

"Since you're pleased, let's go!" Charlotte lifted her chin slightly, signaling for Victor to take the lead.

He had no choice but to lead the way into the villa, rubbing at his aches and pains as he went.

"Diana, Selena," Victor called out as he walked through the door.

Charlotte was clearly looking for trouble. He couldn't possibly face her wrath alone.

"Coming," Diana responded as she walked down the stairs. The moment she saw who Victor had brought, her expression darkened.

"Victor, why did you bring this woman to our home? Charlotte, get out! This is my house."

Diana shouted across the room, "August! Meredith! Where's security? Call them and get her out of here!"

"Shut up!" Victor glared at Diana. "Stop yelling."

"Charlotte, you wretch. What are you doing in my house?" Diana, noticing Victor wasn't siding with her, berated Charlotte once more.

"Mr. Langley, your wife has such impeccable manners," Charlotte said mockingly, completely unfazed by Diana's insults.

One of her bodyguards stepped forward and wiped down the couch. Charlotte then sat down, looking perfectly composed.

"Mr. Langley, from now on, every time your wife curses at me, you will slap her. Otherwise, I might just let everyone know that the lady of the wealthiest family in Amberton has such a filthy mouth."

"Victor, I dare you to raise a hand against me," Diana threatened, planting her hands on her hips and glaring like a wild beast.

For a second, Victor froze at the sight of her aggression.

"Victor, if you dare slap me for that tramp, I'll divorce you!" Diana yelled. "We've been married for years, and you and your mother made me take the fall for abusing Natalie. If the truth gets out, don't think for a second that you or your mother will be spared from it."

"Don't start spouting nonsense," Victor growled, gritting his teeth.

He turned to Charlotte and said, "Mrs. Walker, I can slap my wife if that's what you want, but I want a project from Walker Group. I want a profitable deal that brings in money for Langley Group. Otherwise, even if you have your people beat us to death today, I won't do what you say."
