The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 493

"I want to properly apologize to Natalie. For years, I held resentment, believing Natalie had stolen Selena's privileged life. I didn't know where my real daughter was or what kind of suffering she endured. I was wrong." Diana's eyes reddened.

For Diana, coming here to apologize to Natalie hadn't been an easy decision. It had taken her a long time to prepare herself mentally. But once she finally took this step, she realized it wasn't as difficult as she had imagined.

However, despite waiting, they had yet to see Natalie. In the past, they could scold and mistreat her without consequences. But today, Natalie was far beyond their reach.

"Grace will likely come looking for Natalie as well. We need to stay here and make sure she doesn't get to her first."

Diana glanced at the hotel entrance. "Once Selena arrives, we will call that old hag."

"Alright."

Victor's thoughts were in turmoil. He wasn't Grace's biological son. He had no right to anything in the Langley family.

Yet there were still things he wanted to ask her. Even so, despite the numerous calls from Grace, he didn't dare to answer.

"Darling, this isn't your fault." Diana knew her husband well. Years ago, Grace had opposed their marriage, but Victor had insisted on marrying her. His defiance had displeased Grace for a long time.

After the wedding, she eventually stopped objecting. However, their married life was constantly overshadowed by Grace's control.

She held all the authority over the company, and they had no choice but to rely on her for money each month. To Diana, it had been a humiliating existence.

Then, when she gave birth to their daughter, she thought things would improve, but her daughter wasn't truly hers.

"These years must have been hard on you too," Victor said, his voice heavy with emotion. Their shared resentment toward Grace deepened, binding them even closer together.

If there had to be someone to blame for all of this, it had to be Grace. They couldn't blame themselves.

"Let's wait. Sooner or later, Natalie will leave the hotel."

"Alright."

The two sat in quiet silence, waiting in the hotel lobby.

After more than half an hour, Selena arrived at the hotel. She walked straight to the table where her parents were seated and sat across from them. "Has Langley Group held a press conference yet?"

Victor shook his head. "Not yet. There hasn't been a single move."

"The old hag must not be taking the threat seriously. She is willing to risk Langley Group, even at the expense of her own biological daughter. She must be gambling on the possibility that we don't actually know her daughter's whereabouts." Selena sneered.

"We truly don't know where Megan is. Selena, we're here to apologize to Natalie. Let's not get distracted by other matters," Victor admitted with a sigh.

"Your mom and I decided that after apologizing to Natalie, we'll take our money and leave Amberton. Whether we go abroad or settle in another city, the money we have is more than enough for us to live comfortably for the rest of our lives."

"Mom, is that what you want as well? And what about the Miller family? Are we just going to leave them behind?" Selena asked, glancing at her phone.

"Tyler isn't the right man for you. The Miller family has always relied on Langley Group's support, and with the company's downfall, they will suffer as well."

Diana reached out to hold Selena's hand. "If you still want Tyler, we can drag him along with us."

"I don't want Tyler. If Natalie doesn't want him, then I don't want him either." Selena smirked.

"Selena, at this point, you shouldn't compare yourself to Natalie in everything."

"I know," Selena answered dismissively. "I'm not trying to compare myself to her. I just find him unworthy.
