The Unwavering Heart That Broke (Nathalie and Lance) novel Chapter 529

Octavia turned to look at Lance. "How much do you know about them?"

"About the same as you," Lance replied coolly.

Octavia raised an eyebrow. "Well, this just got a lot more complicated."

She paused, her gaze shifting thoughtfully. "Why would the pampered heiress of the Winter Family be gunning for you?"

The question was directed at Nathalie.

Nathalie lowered her eyes, a bitter, self-deprecating smile touching her lips. "Yeah. I'd love to know that myself."

Could her true parentage have something to do with the Winter Family?

Was it possible that she and Sylvie were switched at birth?

If Sylvie was terrified of losing her empire and everything she had built, it would perfectly explain why she had sent assassins after her.

If Nathalie died here in the country, the Winters would never discover that Sylvie wasn't their biological daughter.

Nathalie's eyes turned ice-cold, her hands curling into tight fists at her sides.

Lance reached out, his large, warm hand wrapping around hers. "Relax," he murmured.

Nathalie looked up at him. "What do we do now?"

"You make yourself unbreakable. You get strong enough to protect yourself so you can survive whatever comes next," Lance said, his deep voice carrying an undeniable weight as he held her gaze.

Nathalie nodded slowly. "Alright. I understand."

Watching the exchange, Octavia smirked. "Looks like you're stepping into the lion's den."

Nathalie turned to her. "Thank you for helping us. If it weren't for you, I'd still be completely in the dark."

"He's the one paying the bill." Octavia tipped her chin toward Lance, grinning. "I'm a simple woman. As long as the price is right, I'll do just about anything."

Nathalie couldn't help but smile. "You're very straightforward. I like your style."

Octavia laughed out loud. "If you ever need any dirty work done in the future, you know who to call. Let's swap numbers."
