The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 135

"Marcus, please take Nat and step out for a moment," Charlotte said to Marcus after exchanging harsh words with Diana.

Marcus nodded slightly and stepped forward, offering his hand to Natalie. "Ms. Walker, let me take you somewhere safer."

Natalie looked at his hand—elegant, with long fingers and clean lines, almost resembling something from a comic. She quietly shook her head and didn't take his hand. "I don't need to step away. Grandma was in the accident while she was with me. I take responsibility for that."

"Nat, what do you mean you're taking responsibility?" Charlotte was a little irritated. "We did an investigation on Mrs. Senior Langley. In Amberton, the nursing home she stayed at was the best and most expensive. Yet the Langley family never paid a penny nor visited her once.

"It was always you taking care of her, financially and physically. They never showed any familial respect. Now that something's happened, they suddenly want to act like dutiful children.

"No one wants Mrs. Langley Senior to be in an accident, but since it has happened, there's no point in blaming anyone here. We need to provide the best medical care to help her recover.

"As for the Langleys—you either shut up, get lost, or get ready to be beaten."

Charlotte's voice was cold and sharp, her expression ice-like. She had no good feelings toward Victor and his family.

They claimed to have raised Natalie for 20 years, but what kind of life had she lived during those years? If it hadn't been for Grace's protection, Diana might have drained her of her blood when she was little. Charlotte might never have known Natalie was switched at birth.

"Mom, stop wasting time with them. Let me bring my men over," Mason said, his handsome face filled with coldness and malice.

He regretted not going to Amberton with Charlotte earlier to deal with Victor and Diana. He wasn't about to let this chance slip away now that they had practically walked into his hands.

"You! You're the one who kicked Natalie out when you came back." Mason's icy glare shot at Selena. Charlotte had gone to Balford and investigated what Diana and Selena had done at Quinton Hospital, so the Walker brothers knew what Diana and Selena did.

He suddenly sneered. "Look at you. How dare you have the guts to try and seduce Marcus?

"But it's not your fault. Your parents don't look any better, and that's why you ended up like this."

The implication was clear—Victor and Diana were ugly, and they had given birth to an ugly daughter like Selena.

"Mason, stop running your mouth." William stepped forward. He was the head of the family. Since Victor dared to slap Natalie, he didn't hesitate to return the slap.

"Mr. Langley, Mrs. Langley Senior is not in danger. She's just being observed in the Intensive Care Unit to ensure her safety. You come here and hit Natalie before asking any questions. What? Do you think our existence doesn't matter?

"My wife is right. The old accounts need to be settled. But since this is a hospital, we should take it outside."

William looked at Mason, who immediately understood. He took out his phone and made a call. Soon, three big bodyguards from the Walker family appeared, each grabbing a member of the Langley family like they were small chickens and dragging them out.

Natalie stayed behind Mason throughout this, and she didn't take it when Marcus extended his hand again.

So, Marcus withdrew his hand without a word.

Charles witnessed Diana and Selena's shamelessness back in Balford and saw how Charlotte and William protected Natalie. He noticed the resemblance between Natalie and Charlotte and immediately understood.

"Marcus, go help," he said, a glimmer of insight in his eyes. The situation was becoming more interesting.

"Not bad! A new opportunity has presented itself!" he thought.

Marcus was puzzled. Why did he need to help Natalie?

"Go!" Charles snapped. "Can't I even give you instructions anymore?"

Marcus was speechless. There were so many people here. Could Charles show him some respect?

"Mr. Marcus, you should go," Sheldon added. "Mr. Holden Senior's health isn't excellent, but he insisted on coming here when he heard about Mrs. Langley Senior's accident.

"Ms. Walker is Mrs. Langley Senior's most beloved granddaughter. If she wakes up and finds out Ms. Walker was bullied, she might blame Mr. Holden Senior. After all, when we went to Amberton, she asked him to protect Ms. Walker."
