The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 145

Suddenly, Grace burst into tears, and she seemed very overwhelmed.

Just then, the heart monitor beside her beeped loudly. Natalie panicked and comforted her.

"Calm down, Grandma. It's not that I don't want or trust you. I just hope that you'll get better. Once you recover, you'll be able to protect me. I won't be bullied anymore.

"Selena keeps bullying me. Grandma, don't you want to get better so you can protect me?"

Though Natalie patted Grace's back to comfort her, the latter was very agitated. She pushed Natalie's hand away and glared at her with misty eyes.

"Nattie, do you want me to die? You'll only believe in me after I die, right?"

"No!" Natalie felt her heart sink.

She didn't move as Grace gripped her hands tightly. Soon, red marks appeared on her pale wrist.

"You know that's not what I meant, Grandma. Why do you misunderstand me?"

Just then, Grace fainted.

The doctors and nurses rushed in once Natalie pressed the call button. Breaking free from Grace's grasp, she walked out of the hospital room grimly.

Charlotte, William, and Mason were standing outside the hospital room. When they saw Natalie, they immediately approached her.

"Nat, what did Mrs. Langley Senior say to you? Did she emotionally blackmail you?" Charlotte looked at Natalie sympathetically. "You don't owe the Langleys anything, Nat. You also don't owe Mrs. Langley Senior anything."

"I need some time to think by myself." Natalie sucked in a deep breath and continued, "Still, I'm very sure that I don't want Langley Group's shares anymore. I won't take it, even if it goes against Grandma's wishes."

"That's the right thing to do." Though William felt bad for Natalie, he admired her straightforward attitude. She made up her mind without hesitation.

Yet, she was a little too loyal.

"Don't worry, Nat. We'll help you take care of Mrs. Langley Senior. When her condition improves, we'll send her to Hector's hospital."

William patted Natalie's head and added, "Mrs. Langley Senior will live the rest of her days in happiness with Hector's help."

"Thank you, Father."

"Nat, do you want to work in our company? If you're not willing to do so, we can give you a company so that you can work and pass the time."

Natalie not only held some shares in Langley Group but also held an important position there. After realizing this, Charlotte knew she was a capable person who deeply cared about her career.

It seemed that Natalie wouldn't be happy if she played every day. So, Charlotte decided to give her a company—she wouldn't care much about Langley Group then.

"Please agree to it." Just then, Mason tugged Natalie's hand. "Our parents weren't willing to give me a company to practice my skills. If you agree to it, I'll be able to work at your company once I graduate.

"Natalie, I'll have to depend on you in the future."

After that, he winked at her mischievously.

However, Natalie shook her head after thinking about it deeply. "It's fine. I'll consider it after settling the issue with Langley Group's shares."
