The Scorned Heiress's Hidden Empire (by Jade Quinn) novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128

Henry stood up from the sofa, his dark eyes locked intensely on Natalie as she walked down the stairs.

Lewis stood nearby, watching his boss like this, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

He’d known Henry for years, not once had he ever seen him act this way.

Henry’s always been cool under pressure, handling every big shot and situation with ease, but today, he was so restless he couldn’t even stay seated.

Rosie jumped to her feet, her eyes sparkling like little stars. She whispered, “Natalie looks gorgeous today…”

After saying that, she glanced at Henry, only to find he wasn’t paying any attention to her at all.

Hmp! Rosie grumbled to herself, feeling a bit miffed.

Then she caught Blondie waving at her with a big smile. She blinked, scooped up her dress, and scampered over to him with a cheerful bounce.

The five Mitchell brothers stood on either side of the stairs, fanning out in a V–formation, eyes glued to Natalie, not missing a single detail.

Oh my god! How can Natalie be this beautiful?‘ they all thought, their hearts racing.

She was absolutely breathtaking, like a goddess descended to earth, so stunning she could topple kingdoms. Her eyes sparkled, her skin was flawless, and her elegance was unmatched.

She looked as pure as a delicate flower rising from the water, so beautiful she could make the moon and flowers feel shy, so graceful she seemed to float like a swan. Honestly, she was so extraordinary, it was as if she didn’t belong to this world at all.

Honestly, you could write a whole novel about how stunning she looked.

It wasn’t until Natalie stood among William, Andrew, and the other brothers that everyone in the hall finally snapped out of their trance.

The people who’d just been gossiping about Natalie being some clueless country bumpkin instantly shut their mouths. “What ‘timid little country girl” are they talking about?‘ they thought, completely floored.

She looked like she’d just stepped out of a painting.

“Ms. Mitchell is absolutely gorgeous! She and Mrs. Mitchell look so alike, it’s like someone just copy–pasted them.*

“Totally! Mrs. Mitchell is already drop–dead beautiful, but her daughter somehow takes it up a notch!”

People in the crowd were stunned just to see her beauty.

Evan showed up in a sharp cream suit, and the second Natalie walked in, he was totally stunned. He couldn’t take his eyes off

His dad cleared his throat, trying not to laugh

Evan instinctively wiped his mouth, only to realize there was nothing there. His dad was just messing with hamm

Up on stage, William was speaking, a smile never leaving his face.

“Thank you all for coming to my daughter’s reunion banquet. After nineteen years, we never gave up hope, and finally brought her back to us!”

As soon as he finished, the crowd erupted into applause.

Many people were genuinely moved, their eyes growing misty as they watched this touching scene.

As the applause faded, William made it clear he wasn’t done yet.

Instead, he reached into his suit jacket and pulled out a thick stack of documents, the Mitchell Group s emblem shining on the cover.

The hall fell completely silent. Everyone’s eyes were glued to those papers. People had a hunch about nobody dared to say it out loud.

William Mitchell turned to face Natalie.

His voice wasn’t as loud as before, but it carried even more solemn weight
