The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 526

Charlene was munching on an apple, the sound echoing in the kitchen. Her gaze was locked on Hector, unblinking. From the moment she saw him, she had noticed that Hector had the same striking eyes as Natalie.

Their eyes were almond shaped, captivating and deep, with a warmth that seemed to persist regardless of what they focused on.

Hector had glasses on, but they only accentuated the delicateness of his eyes, making him appear even more refined and gentle.

"Charlene, please stop staring at me like that," Hector said, feeling uneasy under her intense gaze. He turned his head away.

"My grandma? She's like a fierce spirit returning from the underworld," Charlene suddenly murmured.

She took a large bite of her apple and went on, "Hector, don't you think Mr. Holden Senior has some major issues?"

"I'm not concerned with the Holden family's matters. I just ask that you don't stir up trouble in the Walker family," Hector replied.

He had indeed noticed something strange about Charles. But Charles was an elder, and despite the long-standing friendship between the two families, the Walker family is still considered an outsider. Thus, he chose not to involve himself.

With Natalie and Marcus back together, the bond between their families could soon turn into an alliance through marriage, making them in-laws.

Holden Group wasn't completely under Marcus' control yet, as Charles still held onto certain family enterprises. Outsiders were unaware of these assets, but the Walker family knew all about them.

If Charles planned to challenge Marcus or back another heir, these hidden ventures would pose the greatest challenge to Marcus.

"Hector, don't you wonder why Mr. Holden Senior is so terrified of me?" Charlene asked, biting into the apple with a loud crunch. "Is it possible that you, just like Mr. Holden Senior, are scared of a young woman like me?"

After a brief pause, she added, "Why don't I introduce you to my grandma, Hector?"

After finishing the apple, Charlene tossed the core into the trash. Then, she turned back to Hector with a bright smile. "Since you're a doctor, could you check on my grandma? She's not doing so well."

"Where does she live?" Hector asked.

"In Dithoria State," Charlene replied, her eyes crinkling as she grinned. "It's my mom who lives on Scarlet Hill. Last time, Marcus tried to have people kidnap my mom, but they failed!"

She added, "The Jenkins family doesn't owe the Holden or Walker families anything. If anything, it's the other way around."

She took out her phone and dialed a number. The call connected almost immediately. "Hi, Grandma. I've already invited Mr. Hector, but I'm unsure if he'll visit you."

She hesitated for a moment and then suggested, "Why don't you speak to him yourself?"

With that, Charlene passed the phone to Hector. "Here you go, Hector. You wanted to meet my grandma, right? Now you can chat with her."

Hector gazed at Charlene, who seemed innocent and pure. For a moment, he couldn't quite believe that the young girl before him was truly only 18.

"Hello," Hector finally said, taking the phone and speaking softly. "This is Hector Walter. May I ask who I'm speaking with?"

"I'm Yvette Jenkins," the voice on the other end answered directly. "Mr. Hector, are you interested in meeting an older woman like me?"

She continued, "I'm the one responsible for everything connected to Grace. It was my doing that led to your sister Natalie's replacement, the Langley family becoming the wealthiest in Amberton, and Selena being sold."
