The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 144

Tears welled up in Grace's eyes as she reached out to hold Natalie's hand, but William pulled her back. Evidently, he didn't want Grace to get too close to Natalie.

Since Natalie was struggling, William released her. As a father, he respected his daughter's decision.

Then, Natalie held Grace's hands. "Grandma, I want to stay in Dithoria. It isn't a good thing for me to have Langley Group's shares."

She continued softly, "It seems that Mr. Langley and his family oppose me having the shares. We always quarrel about it; that isn't good.

"Grandma, don't you want me to stop quarreling with Mr. Langley and his family?"

Though Natalie's gaze was gentle, she didn't agree to Grace's demands this time. Instead, she was determined to return the shares to Victor.

After hearing that, Victor lunged at Natalie. "Mom, since Natalie wants to give us the shares, let her do it!

"We didn't say much because she was unwilling to give them to us in the past. However, she has now agreed to our requests. Why are you objecting to this?

"Natalie, as long as you give the shares to Selena, we won't cause you any trouble. We will let you take revenge on us because we used you as a blood bank for so many years."

Without thinking, he added, "Just tell us, and we'll accept whatever punishments you give us!"

"Natalie won't need to do that," Charlotte coldly said. "Do you think you'll be able to escape the consequences even if you don't admit your mistakes?"

Her words made Victor fall silent.

The Walkers had brought him to the hospital, while Diana and Selena were kept in another place.

Since they tortured Natalie in the past, the Walkers said that they didn't deserve to stay in a presidential suite. Though Diana tried fighting back, all was futile.

On the other hand, Selena was gagged with a dirty sock, thrown into a sack, and carried away. She blamed all her previous suffering on Natalie, which was ridiculous. The former was simply shameless.

When Mason and Timothy heard what she said, they were appalled and gave her a few slaps.

They simply didn't care that Selena was a woman and even thought that their punishment wasn't severe enough.

Victor's bodyguards were also outrageous—once the Walkers' trained bodyguards stared at them, they resigned and gave up on the spot.

"Mrs. Langley Senior, why should my daughter take control of your shares? Even if you intended for it to be a wedding gift, that was unnecessary. Since we're her parents, we'll prepare it for her.

"Besides, each of her five brothers will be able to give her more wedding gifts than what your shares are worth."

When Natalie realized Grace looked rather upset, she hurriedly interrupted Charlotte, "Mother, please stop. Grandma doesn't look well."

"You're too kind, Nat." Charlotte looked at Natalie disapprovingly. They quickly realized that Grace wasn't as simple as she appeared to be.

In fact, Marcus had revealed some information to them, which worsened their suspicions.
