The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Natalie Won’t Be the Other Woman 

Natalie quickly covered Olivia’s mouth to stop her from blurting out anything further in public. 

“Don’t say it,” Natalie warned. 

“Why not?” Olivia asked, puzzled. “Can’t I admire a handsome guy? Seriously, Natalie. I’ve seen plenty of guys in the modeling world, and none of them could come close to that one 

over there.” 

“He’s Marcus Holden,” Natalie said calmly. “From the Holdens in Dithoria State.” 

Olivia was stunned for a moment before reacting. “Wait, who? Who are you talking about?” she asked, confusion etched on her face. 

– Natalie patiently repeated, “Marcus Holden, from the Holdens in Dithoria State. Marcus 

Holden.” 

Olivia’s eyes widened in shock. “What?” she exclaimed. 

Marcus was a big shot–a living, breathing big shot. It was no wonder she’d never seen him in entertainment magazines or heard about him in the industry. 

Marcus Holden, who was the heir to the Holdens in Dithoria State, was so low–profile that very few people had seen him. There were hardly any photos of him circulating online. 

Occasionally, he would appear in financial magazines. However, those issues were quickly bought up and never made it to the public; they were practically collector’s items. 

This only deepened Olivia’s awe of Marcus. A man like him was way out of their league. 

Seeing the change in Olivia’s expression, Natalie’s eyes sparkled with mischief. She looped her arm through Olivia’s and started walking to ward Marcus and Charles. 

“Natalie, what are you doing? I was just kidding! Why are you going over there?” Olivia asked, her eyes widening in panic. 

Olivia might have talked tough, but now that she knew who Marcus really was, she was a bundle of nerves. 

Marcus was the richest man in the world. The Holden Group’s empire spanned the globe, and he controlled 90% of Dithoria’s economy. 

People said he was ruthless, emotionless, and completely indifferent to women. They claimed he had no weakness. A man like that was practically a myth–someone to read about, not to ever meet. Girls like Olivia wouldn’t even get a chance to be near him. 

The Langleys might be the wealthiest in Amberton, but compared to the Holdens, they were nothing. 

Chang 29 Natale int the the Other Woman 

Olivia dreamed big, but she never got lost in her fantasies. If Marcus were just an ordinary 

guy, 

Olivia would have pushed Natalie to go for it. But he was the heir to the Holdens and the richest man in the world, which made things complicated. 

Now, Olivia was scared. Crossing someone like Marcus, who was at the top of the hierarchy, could lead to serious trouble. She wouldn’t even know what hit her. 

“Natalie, don’t go,” Olivia said, her voice urgent) 

“Grandpa Charles,” Natalie called out, her voice filled with excitement. 

“Natalie, seriously, listen to me,” Olivia pleaded. 

“Hm?” Natalie responded, glancing at her. 

Olivia was still trying to stop Natalie when she heard her call out, “Grandpa Charles.” But it was too late. Instantly, both Marcus and the elderly man turned to look at them. 

“Nattie! You’re here,” Charles’s face lit up with genuine affection as he welcomed her warmly. 

“Grandpa Charles, how are you? Feeling any better?” Natalie asked, her voice filled with 

concern. 

Charles nodded with a reassuring smile. With a sweet, polite smile, Natalie took arm and introduced her to Charles.

“Grandpa Charles, this is my best friend, Olivia Thatcher. Olivia, this is Mr. Holden Senior,” she said, then gestured toward Marcus. “And this is Marcus Holden.” 

Natalie gave Olivia a playful wink, hinting that now she’d get to meet the amazing man she’d been talking about. 

Olivia was shocked. She couldn’t believe it. She’d been worrying about her future, only to find out that Natalie already knew the big shot. 

Nervously, Olivia pinched Natalie’s arm and managed to greet Marcus, “Hi, Mr. Holden.” 

“Hi, Ms. Thatcher,” Marcus replied, his tone gentle and polite. 

It was nothing like what Olivia had imagined. Marcus didn’t seem like the ruthless, distant, and cold–hearted man she’d expected. 

“Hi, Ms. Walker,” Marcus said. “Thanks for your help. Ms. Sterling had already gone over all the details of Grandpa’s surgery with me.” 

Connie had agreed to perform the surgery on Charles. Even though Marcus wasn’t fond of Natalie, he genuinely appreciated her help. 

“Good to hear that,” Natalie said warmly, her usually cool tone softening. “I’m sure Grandpa’s surgery will go smoothly. He’s in good hands.”

“Yeah, it’ll definitely be successful,” Marcus replied with confidence. 

Noticing Marcus talking to Natalie, Charles quickly turned to Olivia. “You’re Olivia, right?” he asked. “Young lady, would you take a walk with me and tell me more about Nattie?” 

Charles winked at Olivia. Though she didn’t understand why, she agreed. Besides, she wasn’t keen on staying around someone like Marcus, 

Marcus was polite, but his eyes held a cold indifference. His impeccable manners made him courteous toward her, yet Olivia couldn’t shake the unease she felt. He seemed to evoke an inexplicable fear that made her want to keep her distance. 

When Charles invited her, Olivia didn’t hesitate to leave Natalie behind. She took Charles’s arm as they walked away.
