Diana reached out, tugging at Selena and Victor. "Hurry, bow and apologize to Ms. Walker."
Selena pressed her lips together, staring directly at Natalie before slowly lowering her head in a bow.
"Natalie, I'm sorry. I sincerely apologize for my resentment and my rude behavior toward you," she said, her voice void of emotion.
Natalie raised an eyebrow. She had instructed Yolanda to subtly leak some information about Megan to Selena, but she hadn't expected such a drastic shift in their attitude.
Natalie had slept the entire day, unaware of Selena's actions. But their swift arrival suggested they had been waiting for her.
"Ms. Walker, we only need a few minutes of your time. There are things from your childhood that we believe you should know. And regarding the blood transfusions, we need to explain everything properly," Victor said cautiously.
Natalie pondered for a moment before nodding. "Alright, but I am hungry. I need to eat first."
Diana immediately responded, "Let us treat you, Ms. Walker."
"Yes, whatever you want to eat, we will take care of it," Victor added eagerly.
Natalie found the situation amusing. Diana had never treated her with such courtesy before.
"Fine, then let's eat at the hotel restaurant."
"Yes, the hotel restaurant is perfect," Diana quickly agreed.
They moved to the second-floor restaurant, which served a seafood buffet. Natalie took her seat while Hector went to get food for her. For the Langley family, it was Selena who was sent to grab their meals.
Victor and Diana sat across from Natalie, visibly uneasy, nervously studying her expressions.
Back when Natalie lived with the Langley family, they had always looked down on her, acting superior. She had been nothing more than an obedient, fearful girl who never dared to anger them.
The roles had reversed. They were the ones afraid.
"Mr. and Mrs. Langley, why are you staring at me like that?" Natalie leisurely sipped on the drink Hector had brought her.
"Hector is getting food for me. If you have something to say, just say it."
"We just want to sincerely apologize. I have done many wrong things in the past. It was my fault. I resented and blamed the wrong person. I truly regret it," Diana said, standing up and bowing at a ninety-degree angle.
Victor also stood up, bowing toward Natalie. "Ms. Walker, I'm deeply sorry. Our entire family owes you an apology. I even drugged you once, causing you harm. Luckily, you were alright in the end.
"We have already suffered the consequences of our actions. Mrs. Walker has given us her harshest punishment. We have learned our lesson and will never dare to trouble you again.
"We have made our decision. After apologizing, we will leave Amberton for good."
Looking at Natalie, Victor felt a complex mix of emotions. He was filled with regret. If only they had treated her well from the beginning, they could have been the ones basking in unimaginable wealth. But in this world, there were no "if only" scenarios.

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...
