The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 115

Natalie's question caught Sky off guard, his expression flickering with surprise. However, he quickly relaxed and let out a soft laugh. "It seems nothing can be kept from you."

He explained, "You're right. EM Legacy is under Emma's name, but since she's still in school, it's just a practice project for her. As for the decision to have EM Legacy intercept Langley Group's projects—that was entirely my call."

Sky's tone turned more serious as he continued, "Nat, we were furious when we found out how Victor and Diana treated you in the Langley family—using you like a pawn and subjecting you to endless abuse."

He added, "Langley Group may be Amberton's wealthiest company, but Victor isn't a competent businessman. I investigated and found that Langley Group only exists because of Mrs. Langley Senior. She built that company, and it survived several crises solely because of her efforts.

"The shares you hold were given to you by her, making you the largest shareholder in Langley Group. Originally, I wanted to drive the Langley family into bankruptcy, but I held back because of your stake in the company."

Sky sighed and leaned back slightly. "Honestly, I was planning to discuss this with you. I didn't expect you to confront me about it so soon."

His tone softened as he looked at Natalie with a mix of guilt and affection. "You suffered so much in the Langley family, and none of us knew. Now that you're back with us, there's no way we'll let you be bullied again."

Sky's gaze became more earnest as he asked, "Nat, do you want Langley Group to survive?"

"Langley Group is Grandma's legacy," Natalie said calmly, reclining on the couch. Her posture was relaxed, but her eyes were distant. "I promised her I wouldn't let anything happen to it."

Sky nodded in understanding. "Got it. I'll make sure my people stop targeting Langley Group. But Nat, people like Victor and Diana aren't worth your protection."

He added thoughtfully, "From what I've seen, Mrs. Langley Senior genuinely cares about you. I'm sure she would support us standing up for you."

"When Grandma gave me her shares, she said they were my wedding gifts," Natalie replied, her voice softening slightly. "She wanted me to have the security to live well, even after leaving Victor and Diana."

Her eyes grew misty, though she quickly tried to mask it. Natalie was not one to wear her heart on her sleeve, but when it came to Grace—the person who loved her the most—it was hard to control her emotions.

Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Natalie continued, "I owe Victor and Diana nothing, and I certainly owe Selena nothing. But Langley Group is Grandma's life's work. She once told me that Victor couldn't protect it, but as his mother, she couldn't bear to let him fail."

Sky nodded solemnly, fully understanding her sentiment. After all, parents, no matter how disappointed they were, often found it hard to let go of their love for their children.

"Now that I'm here in Dithoria State, there's not much Victor or Diana can do to touch me," Natalie added, her tone turning sharper. "As for Selena—if she stays out of my way, I'll let her be. But if she dares to provoke me, I won't let her off easily."

Sky leaned forward slightly. "The projects EM Legacy intercepted were handled by my team. I'll return them to you."

Natalie smirked and replied, "There's no need. I'm going to use this situation to remove Victor from his position as president. Even if I'm not there in person, I won't allow him and Selena to wreak havoc in Langley Group."

Sky's expression softened into a proud smile as he ruffled her hair. His tone was warm as he said, "Alright. I'll support you in whatever you decide to do."

"Now that Mrs. Langley Senior is staying with us, Victor and Diana have no leverage over you. So go ahead and do what you need to do with confidence," Sky assured her.
