The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 439

Once Natalie revealed that he was bluffing, Hector was stunned.

Had his sister always been so daring and decisive?

And there was Marcus, who hadn't told him anything either. They asked him to help out, yet kept him in the dark. It left him anxious and worried about offending Charles.

"Hector, from now on, make sure you don't eat anything Charles, Sheldon, or Wesley gives you."

Hector was still shaken. "But you just drank the tea just now."

"That tea was fine. When I poured it, I added some medicinal powder into the cup. You just didn't notice," Natalie replied casually.

Hector was stunned.

"In the future, be cautious about the drinks people offer you." Natalie seized the opportunity to remind him. "There are many ways to drug someone without being noticed."

"Got it. I'll remember that," Hector responded.

He didn't expect to learn so much just by sticking with Natalie.

"Hector, I need Mom's help. I remember Mom and Mrs. Holden were best friends. Before she gave birth, she must've talked to Mom. I need their chat history."

Natalie planned to approach this matter from all angles. Marcus seemed to have figured out something else well.

Both of them worked together seamlessly, almost telepathically, with good effect. Even without the other person saying anything, they knew who to keep things from.

"Nat, do you want to ask Mom directly, or should I help you?" Hector asked.

"I need your help. I don't have that much time to go through all the information. I need you to extract useful information for me."

Natalie rubbed her temples and added, "I still have to keep an eye on Mrs. Holden. For now, Connie is watching over her. From now on, we shouldn't let anyone from the Holden family or any strangers near her."

"Nat, couldn't Marcus find the list of people present when Laura gave birth?" Hector asked.

He couldn't help but frown. If even Marcus couldn't find it, it could only mean that Natalie and Marcus' suspicions were right.

"No, he couldn't," Natalie scoffed. "Hector, don't you think it's ironic?"

For a moment, Hector didn't know what to say. After a while, he said earnestly, "Nat, if you and Marcus ever need help, I'll do everything I can."

"Yes. Compared to the Holden family, I trust my own family more." Natalie stared at Hector with a serious look. "Hector, I suspect this whole thing has something to do with someone in the Holden family.

"I'm helping Mrs. Holden because she's Marcus' biological mother. She's also my future mother-in-law. Since I'm dating Marcus, I intend to stay with him for life. As long as he doesn't betray me, I won't betray him.

"His mother is mine and my mother is his too. If it turns out that someone in the Holden family harmed her, you should be able to imagine the consequences."

Hector nodded solemnly. "Don't worry, I understand."

"Good. I'll head back to the medical room. When Marcus returns, tell him to come find me," Natalie instructed.

"Alright."

Natalie returned to the medical room with Hector standing guard outside in Marcus' place.
