The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 360

Julia and Wendy then got in a car and drove off.

Outside the hospital, Marcus and Natalie sat in a car. The two of them didn't go to a hotel to rest or head home. They just sat from afar and watched what was happening to Sinclair Group from their car.

Natalie grew tired of watching. When she lifted her head to look, she saw Julia and Wendy drive off.

"Julia and her helper left."

Hearing this, Marcus also turned to look. "They're probably running off now."

"Well? Do we stop them?" Natalie asked, curling her lips. "Right, about that childhood friend of mine, Walter. You know him, right?

"He's already settled the matter with Langley Group in Amberton. He was going to come look for me in Dithoria State. Upon hearing I was going back to Amberton to run an errand, he decided to wait for me there instead.

Upon hearing Walter's name, Marcus imagined his image in his mind.

For some reason, he felt uncomfortable. Even the atmosphere in the car seemed to become tense.

"Yeah. I know him," Marcus said calmly. "Do you like him?"

"Yeah, I do," Natalie admitted boldly. Walter was someone she brought back to the Langley residence from the orphanage.

After all these years, the two of them were practically like brother and sister, so of course, she liked him.

With Walter's help, things were much easier for her.

"After we get to Amberton, Walter will be free of the Langley residence and family. Then, he can stay by my side and help me."

Natalie didn't even notice the shift in Marcus' expression when she said that. She kept going while smiling to herself.

"Walter's a really capable guy, Marcus. After you work together with him, you'll surely like him too."

The ballpoint pen in Marcus's hand snapped with a loud crack.

"What's with you?" Natalie asked, looking at the broken pen. "What're you acting crazy for?"

"Nothing," Marcus said softly. "Just got fidgety."

Just as he said that, Marcus looked at the iPad in front of him. "You're not going to watch Sinclair Group go bankrupt?"

"Yeah, I am."

Natalie's gaze landed on the iPad. On the screen was Ivan's office, and a crowd of people was in front of Ivan. He was raging, questioning why something so important was only brought up to him so late at night.

The entire crowd was terrified. No one dared to step forward and speak up.

Once Ivan finished losing his temper, he would order his underling to handle the matter. However, even if they could handle it, the secretary wouldn't have had to call him in the middle of the night to begin with.

"Mr. Sinclair, this project is the one Mr. Grayson was in charge of. Now that he has disappeared, the raw materials from the factory are low in stock. Without them, the workers can't keep running the factory. That means we won't be able to deliver goods overseas.

"We're going to have to spend a fortune just for breaching the contract. Most importantly, this overseas project will affect our entire group's production chain. If this crisis isn't handled well, the group's funds will go up in flames," the secretary said carefully.

Before he could even finish, Ivan flung the cup in his hands toward him.

He dodged quickly. Now that the group was falling apart, Ivan probably wouldn't even pay his medical expenses if he got hurt.

Besides, what point would there be in keeping him around?

"Mr. Sinclair, the deadline for our goods is tomorrow. If we can't get our goods sent out, we'll have to pay for breach of contract," the secretary said again. "Perhaps you could take a trip overseas in person tomorrow?"

"Get out!" Ivan scolded angrily. He grabbed at his own hair in frustration. This whole overseas project used to make millions of dollars for Sinclair Group.

Ronald had been the one to secure the project in the first place. All these years, he was loyal to Sinclair Group. Of course, Ivan had complete trust in him. So, to think he would pull something like this!

This project would earn them a lot of profits, so naturally, the penalty for breach of contract was exorbitant.
