The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 108

Before Connie could finish what she was saying, Natalie stopped in her tracks and turned around to stare at her. Her gaze looked so cold that it made Connie inexplicably shiver all over.

She had forgotten that Natalie's personality was actually a cold and aloof one.

"I'm sorry, Nath. I overstepped."

Connie didn't hesitate to apologize, but Natalie remained silent as she emanated an air of displeasure and cold indifference.

She returned to the guest room prepared for her at Holden Residence and took out her phone to call Olivia.

The phone rang three times before Olivia answered. "Hey, Natalie."

"How are you, Olivia? I'm sorry for dragging you into trouble back in Amberton."

"We don't need to talk about that. As long as you're fine, that's good enough for me," Olivia replied. She was only relieved after hearing Natalie's calm and gentle voice.

She continued, "I've been worried since I didn't manage to bring you out from the Langleys' grasp, but I'm glad you're okay."

"It was my fault. I burdened you." Natalie paused, then she added, "I found people to deal with the Langleys, you know that."

"I do. The Langleys are busy dealing with their own problems now, but the people who are dealing with them haven't gone all out. It's like they're hesitating about something," Olivia replied.

"Natalie, where are you now? A man claiming to be an assistant to Walker Group's CEO brought me to Dithoria State, bringing even my parents along. They've been so kind to us that it makes me feel uneasy."

Olivia spoke with a sense of nervousness. She always believed that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

No one would do something good for no reason. If they did, there was definitely an ulterior motive.

Of course, this didn't apply to her and Natalie. They had been close friends since childhood, so their friendship was such that they would sacrifice for each other without hesitation.

But such a strong bond was rare and hard to come by. In today's society, the term "best friend" was no longer always something positive.

"I asked the Walkers for help." Natalie immediately thought of Sky, who was the eldest son of the Walkers and the current CEO of Walker Group. It wasn't surprising that he sent his assistant to Amberton to deal with the issues there.

After all, Charlotte and Gorge had personally gone there to look for her. As a son and an elder brother, it was only right that Sky do something for his sister.

"Olivia, you and your parents can just settle in. I have some things to take care of today, but I'll come meet you tomorrow at 2:00 pm," Natalie said.

"Okay. I'm relieved to know that you're fine." Olivia heaved a sigh of relief. Her worries about Victor and Diana, the evil couple—and whether they would do something irreversible to Natalie—finally eased.

The human heart was the most fragile when under pressure. This was especially true given how Selena blamed Natalie for all the suffering she endured.

Olive had met Selena before. Selena had a sharp, mean-looking face, a petty and malicious personality, and a jealous nature as venomous as a snake. To make matters worse, she was also constantly harassing Natalie.

Diana felt that her biological daughter had suffered outside while Natalie lived comfortably in Selena's place, so she blamed Natalie for the misery.

They favored their own kin over reason. They not only allowed Selena to mistreat Natalie, but they even enabled her.

Under such circumstances, it was easy for Olivia to imagine what kind of mistreatment Natalie had to endure in the Langleys.

That was why she had been constantly worried. Even if she was taken away by the authorities, she couldn't stop worrying whether the Langleys would hurt Natalie.
