The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 151

Mason's words were obviously disdainful, and Grace became incensed. After a long while, she exhaled deeply.

"Don't be so cynical. I gave those shares to Nattie because I loved her. When I gave them to her, I didn't know she was from the Walker family.

"If she wasn't from your family, then her biological parents would have probably been dirt poor. Then, she could depend on her job and the shares in Langley Group.

"Mr. Mason, don't think too lowly of me."

"Sure. I'm not a good person and thought you were evil. I'll apologize, alright?" he mocked.

Mason wasn't in the mood to continue the conversation because he had reached his intended goal.

He said, "Timothy, I have the documents with me. You can let Victor go."

"Alright." Timothy smiled and hung up.

"I want to see Nattie," Grace told Mason. "She hasn't visited me in a day."

"I'm sorry, but Nat won't be seeing you for the next three days," Mason replied cheerily. "Don't worry, Mrs. Langley Senior. I'll take care of you."

"I want to see Nattie!" Grace remained insistent. She didn't believe that Natalie would refuse to visit her and take the Walkers' side.

"She's going on a date with Marcus now! She isn't free to care for you." Keeping his phone, Mason added, "Rest well, and you'll be discharged soon."

After that, he left the hospital with his phone.

Grace wasn't willing to believe him. She called Natalie a few times, but no one answered. This made her feel rather uneasy.

She didn't know how things had turned astray from her original plan.

Since she was the one who raised Natalie, she knew the latter was loyal and caring. However, she was more ruthless than the average person.

Back then, she gave up on Victor and turned her attention to Natalie because she admired her merciless tactics.

As expected, Langley Group averted many crises and flourished under the latter's care.

When Natalie told Grace that she wanted to resign from her position, she panicked.

Without Natalie, Langley Group would fall to ruins. Selena was her real granddaughter, but she was spoiled and couldn't take responsibility for anything.

Victor and Diana were foolish for sending Selena into Langley Group.

Since Grace couldn't get Natalie to pick up the phone, she sent a voice recording. "Nattie, I feel uncomfortable, and I miss you. Please visit me at the hospital."

Her tone was pitiful, and she sounded scared. In the past, Natalie would immediately visit her in the nursing home once she heard her speak like that.

Grace hoped that it would work this time as well.

Meanwhile, Marcus had invited Natalie to the largest park in Dithoria for a walk.

"Although this is Dithoria's largest resort, this area isn't very developed. So, there are many herbs and mushrooms in this part of the forest, Ms. Walker," Marcus explained. "Previously, I saw Ms. Sterling make some medicine. There were a few medicinal ingredients inside that could be plucked here."

"Is that so?" Natalie was very interested in herbs because Milan had previously given her a manual about them. There were many rare herbs that weren't available in the market.

Milan had told her she'd hit the jackpot if she could find those herbs.

Though Natalie didn't care about getting rich, she noticed that Milan's eyes shone brightly while he talked about it.

Evidently, he cared deeply about the herbs in that book.
