The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 5

After Ethan ended the call, Marcus had him leave the car and visit Grace. Then, he drove off.

As Ethan walked toward the nursing home, Victor's car entered the premises. Three people emerged from the vehicle, wearing matching outfits as if they were afraid people would not be able to tell they were a family.

Selena held Diana's arm and lamented how Grace was biased toward Natalie as they walked.

"Mom, when we meet Grandma later, you must make her give me the shares that she gave to Natalie."

"Don't worry. You're the true daughter of the Langley family. Natalie is a mere imposter. Your grandma was not aware of this, so she adored that substitute. Since you're back, what belonged to Natalie will rightfully be yours."

Diana patted Selena's hand and complained to Victor. "Darling, just look at Mom! She chose to care for that imposter rather than her own granddaughter. She even transferred so many of her shares to Natalie.

"When we came to discuss this matter with her previously, she was angry and scolded us. She said she wouldn't recognize Selena as her granddaughter and only wanted Natalie. She dares call herself a grandmother?

"Selena has suffered in the streets for many years. Now that she's back, Mom still chooses not to love and compensate for the years she lost. She even discriminates against her."

Selena heard Diana's rant and nodded in agreement. Grace was nothing but a stubborn, old relic. She saved Natalie and turned herself into a dim-witted old lady, spending so much of the Langley family's money every year to keep her alive.

It would have been better to give her the money instead of paying the nursing home to keep Grace alive.

Victor glanced at Diana and Selena before saying, "Mom singlehandedly raised Natalie. There must be strong feelings involved.

"Selena just returned home and missed her golden opportunity to develop a relationship with Mom, but it's not too late. Natalie has left the Langley family. Selena, from now on, you should visit Grandma more often and show her your best self.

"Once Grandma learns you're an obedient granddaughter, she will naturally be kind and pay you more attention. We're a family with the same blood in our veins, while Natalie is an outsider. It doesn't matter how much Grandma loves her; Natalie is no longer here. So, Selena, you're the ultimate winner here."

Selena immediately felt unhappy when she heard she had to appease Grace. She had just returned to the Langleys and was enjoying her life as a wealthy man's daughter. She was unwilling to frequent the nursing home.

Seeing the look on her face, Diana tugged at her. Selena didn't say anything in response.

The Langleys went into the building where Grace lived.

Before arriving at the ward, they noticed from a distance that Natalie and Grace were taking a stroll. Grace held her hand, murmuring something to her.

The expressions on Victor's and Diana's faces sank.

"Oh, great! Darling, didn't she leave home and said she didn't want your money? She didn't take anything from the Langley residence, but now she's sucking up to Mom. She was aiming for the biggest slice of the pie all along!"

Diana said furiously, "When we spoke to Mom before, she was unwilling to give her shares to Selena. It turns out the bitch, Natalie, got in the way and managed to gain the upper hand.

Victor had a ghastly look on his face. He thought he had been kind enough to Natalie. He knew she wasn't his daughter, yet he raised her and gave her 200,000 dollars before she left. He even put her information up on the family search network.

When Natalie humiliated Selena in Tyler's presence, Victor had said nothing. However, she should not have ever eyed the company's shares.

"Let's go."

"Okay."
