Selena laughed wildly, grabbed the bag beside her, and gave it a shake. Money and paternity test documents spilled out, scattering in the wind like falling leaves.
Once the bag was empty, she swung the empty bag before turning toward Grace. As she passed, she deliberately bumped into her shoulder with force.
"Old hag, your time is running out. Think carefully about what you want to do."
"Selena, you're insane. Bringing you back to the Langley family was the biggest mistake we've made. How could you destroy the Langley family? How could you destroy me?" Grace mumbled under her breath.
"You really don't know why I turned out like this?" Selena stopped, tilting her head with a smirk as she stared at Grace.
"I've always been this crazy. Are you regretting it now? Too late. If you hadn't ordered Kenton to take me away and sell me, would I have become like this? Everything that happened is because of you, you old wretch.
"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. No one else is responsible. I'm the crazy one, but what does that make you? An old beast?"
Selena burst into laughter, turned, and entered the stairwell. She took the elevator straight to the first floor.
The moment she stepped out, she called Victor. "Hello, Dad, have you and Mom met Natalie yet?"
"Not yet. We tried calling, but her assistant said she's resting and not accepting visitors. We were told to make an appointment. Your mother and I are in the hotel lobby where she is staying. We'll wait here. Let's see if she never leaves the hotel."
Victor gritted his teeth. "Selena, have you finished handling things on your end?"
"Everything is done. I'm coming over to meet you both." Selena walked out of the Langley Group building, got into her car, and started the engine.
"That old hag has been playing you two for years while I suffered outside. She still wants to use us like cattle to serve her." Her lips curled into a sneer. "What gives her the right to lecture us?"
She added, "Because of her, the Walker family took revenge on the three of us. Everything we suffered should be repaid by that old hag."
"None of us expected her to be so ruthless," Victor cursed, though deep down, he felt nothing but bitterness. All his life, he had believed he was Grace's biological son, the heir of the Langley family, and its rightful successor.
But that morning, he and Diana overheard a conversation between Natalie and Grace. He wasn't her real son.
Grace had a biological daughter—Megan. That explained why she never transferred company shares to Selena or gave him full control over Langley Group. She was saving everything for her daughter.
If Langley Group wasn't his to inherit, then he would make sure Megan never got it either.
Victor ended the call and exchanged a glance with Diana. Both wore identical grim expressions, their hearts filled with hatred for Grace.
Because of the abuse Natalie suffered, her biological mother, Charlotte, had retaliated against them, each time harsher than the last.

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?...
Hope Nat can cure Marcus' mom. Looking forward to new updates. Thank you...
