Natalie had a cold, composed expression. She was clear and firm when she spoke just now, carrying an air of quiet authority.
After Ivan had checked the surveillance footage, he turned to look at Ruby, who had lowered her head. "How are you going to explain this?"
Ruby flinched a little, mumbling softly, "She was the one who had seduced Zane, Dad. She's just not admitting it."
"Do you have any evidence?" Natalie took a step forward, approaching Ruby. "As I said, we'll go through these debts individually. And now, it's time for you to pay up. Are you going to pay by card, bank transfer, or cash?"
Ruby kept stepping backward as Natalie approached her.
"I… Who gives you the right to… decide the amount?"
Ruby's voice was trembling. Gritting her teeth, she turned and ran, hiding behind Ivan. "Dad, help me!"
"I said, you can go to the enforcement office and let the professionals evaluate it if you both disagree with the amount. You can't possibly doubt an expert's words, can you?"
Natalie eyed Ruby coldly. "I'm short on time, Mr. Sinclair. If you don't resolve this properly, I'll post the surveillance footage online and let everyone else decide then. They can also see what kind of person Ruby is, as the second daughter of the Sinclair family.
"Oh, wait. You're not the second daughter of the Sinclairs because your mother didn't marry Mr. Sinclair. Am I right, Mr. Sinclair?"
Natalie cast a glance at Ivan. He didn't deserve respect as a man who had cheated on his wife.
"How dare you act so arrogantly—whose daughter are you? Where's the owner of Goodwill Pharmacy? I want to talk to them."
Ivan was embarrassed. As the president of Sinclair Group, how could he let a young lady threaten him like that?
With an aloof demeanor, Natalie replied, "I'm the owner of Goodwill Pharmacy."
Then, she turned to Liam. "We're not going to deal with the Sinclairs from now on."
"Alright, Natalie."
"What did you say?"
Ivan was genuinely shocked this time. Julia had to get her prescription from Goodwill Pharmacy every month for her poor health.
If the young lady before Ivan was really the owner of Goodwill Pharmacy, and if she had decided not to deal with the Sinclairs, what should they do about Julia's prescription then?
"You must be lying!" Ivan yelled.
He still refused to believe that Natalie owned Goodwill Pharmacy. But the timing was just right—Julia would be sending her people over to take her prescription today, and they should be arriving soon.
Hence, Ivan wanted to find out whether Natalie was telling the truth or not.
"So, Mr. Sinclair, you've decided to renege on the debt?"
Natalie sat on the stone bench under the gazebo, tapping her fingers on the stone table.
"Very well then. Liam, post the footage. Don't bother showing Mr. Sinclair any respect. It was Ms. Sinclair who caused the mess, after all, and she's not even really part of his family—she just shares the same last name."
Natalie finished her sentence slowly. Then, she took out her phone and started the timer.
"In less than ten minutes, everyone in the country will know Ms. Sinclair had caused a huge trouble at Goodwill Pharmacy."
Just then, Ivan's phone rang.
He quickly looked at his phone. It was Wendy, the person who was in charge of taking Julia's prescription.
Ivan answered the call immediately. "What's the matter, Wendy?"
"Mr. Sinclair, Goodwill Pharmacy told us that they're not selling us the medicine anymore. What should we do?"
Wendy's anxious voice came through the phone. "I went to the other branches as well, and they told me the same thing."
Ivan turned to look at Natalie, whose delicate face showed nothing but indifference. She was tapping on the stone table, looking elegant yet so commanding.
She seemed like a typical young lady, yet her presence left people feeling intimidated.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus)
This one gets us readers asking for more! Excellent story, great twists......
Hope Grandpa Charles lives long enough to see Marcus and Nat's children, please. It will make him happy to see life is still worth living and that he didn't fail raising Marcus at least. Let him be happy at least in this aspect. Thanks...
Finished till 538....Waiting for more...
This really hurts. I am confused if Yvette sent a msg saying old love to Charles through Charlene. Why isnt it in her confession. Or did she actually set vivian up into sleeping with that man? And later blackmailed vivian with it till vivian commited suicide? Did Yvetty yhinks Charles would marry her after vivians death but he remained loyal. Hence her anger?...
