The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 108 She Has Her Own Reasons Before Connie could finish what she was saying, Natalie stopped in her tracks and turned around to stare at her. Her gaze looked so cold that it made Connie inexplicably shiver all over.

She had forgotten that Natalie's personality was actually a cold and aloof one.

"I'm sorry, Nath. I overstepped." Connie didn't hesitate to apologize, but Natalie remained silent as she emanated an air of displeasure and cold indifference.

She returned to the guest room prepared for her at Holden Residence and took out her phone to call Olivia. The phone rang three times before Olivia answered. "Hey, Natalie." "How are you, Olivia? I'm sorry for dragging you into trouble back in Amberton." "We don't need to talk about that. As long as you're fine, that's good enough for me," Olivia replied. She was only relieved after hearing Natalie's calm and gentle voice.

She continued, "I've been worried since I didn't manage to bring you out from the Langleys' grasp, but I'm glad you're okay." "It was my fault. I burdened you." Natalie paused, then she added, "I found people to deal with the Langleys, you know that." "I do. The Langleys are busy dealing with their own problems now, but the people who are dealing with them haven't gone all out. It's like they're hesitating about something," Olivia replied.

"Natalie, where are you now? A man claiming to be an assistant to Walker Group's CEO broughtto Dithoria State, bringing even my parents along. They've been so kind to us that it makesfeel uneasy." Olivia spoke with a sense of nervousness. She always believed that there was no such thing as a free lunch. No one would do something good for no reason. If they did, there was definitely an ulterior motive.

Of course, this didn't apply to her and Natalie. They had been close friends since childhood, so their friendship was such that they would sacrifice for each other without hesitation.

But such a strong bond was rare and hard to cby. In today's society, the term "best friend" was no longer always something positive.

"I asked the Walkers for help." Natalie immediately thought of Sky, who was the eldest son of the Walkers and the current CEO of Walker Group. It wasn't surprising that he sent his assistant to Amberton to deal with the issues there.

After all, Charlotte and Gorge had personally gone there to look for her. As a son and an elder brother, it was only right that Sky do something for his sister.

"Olivia, you and your parents can just settle in. I have sthings to take care of today, but I'll cmeet you tomorrow at 2:00 pm," Natalie said.

"Okay. I'm relieved to know that you're fine." Olivia heaved a sigh of relief. Her worries about Victor and Diana, the evil couple—and whether they would do something irreversible to Natalie-finally eased.

The human heart was the most fragile when under pressure. This was especially true given how Selena blamed Natalie for all the suffering she endured.

Olive had met Selena before. Selena had a sharp, mean-looking face, a petty and malicious personality, and a jealous nature as venomous as a snake. To make matters worse, she was also constantly harassing Natalie.

Diana felt that her biological daughter had suffered outside while Natalie lived comfortably in Selena's place, so she blamed Natalie for the misery.

They favored their own kin over reason. They not only allowed Selena to mistreat Natalie, but they even enabled her.

Under such circumstances, it was easy for Olivia to imagine what kind of mistreatment Natalie had to endure in the Langleys.

That was why she had been constantly worried. Even if she was taken away by the authorities, she couldn't stop worrying whether the Langleys would hurt Natalie.

"Nat, I won't let the Langleys get away with it." Olivia exhaled a sigh.

This situation also made her realize that even though she was a famous supermodel, she was still no match for Amberton's richest man.

If it weren't for Natalie sending people to rescue her—and if the Langleys had continued their operations in Amberton—she feared she would have been disgraced by now and stayed in the enforcement office for a long time.

The Langleys had asked for a compensation of 100 million dollars, a figure she could never pay.

In the end, even if she didn't have to cough up the compensation, she still would have suffered terribly. This grudge was something Olivia couldn't bury.

"Olivia, what do you plan to do now?" Natalie asked while walking into her room. She moved to sit next to the coffee table by the window.

On the table were a fruit platter, pastries, unopened bottles of red wine, and juice. These were probably brought over by the staff while she wasn't in the room.

Aside from the food, there were sbooks on a nearby shelf. Atop the books lay a basket filled with various imported snacks, with chocolate being the most abundant item.

Natalie reached for a chocolate piece, tore open the wrapper, and took a bite. The chocolate, rich and sweet, melted in her mouth without a trace of bitterness.

Although the chocolate was sweet, it wasn't overwhelmingly so. It was the exact taste Natalie loved.

"I plan to develop my career in Dithoria State," Olivia replied with a light chuckle. "Walker Group's CEO's assistant had already approached me, askingto sign with their largest modeling agency and promising to givetheir full support.

"I didn't agree to them right away. But after I can confirm it's someone you sent over, I'll agree then.

"Nat, I want to becstronger so that when you're in danger, I can rush to your side and protect you without hesitation."

"Olivia, sign it," Natalie said. She stood up and gazed out the window. "I'm the biological daughter of the Walkers. Go ahead and sign the contract. I'll protect you and help you rise to the top of the modeling industry." "Nat, are you really... the Walker family's biological daughter?" Olivia asked in disbelief. "You're not just lying toand saying that to reassure me, are you?" "When have I ever lied to you?" Natalie chuckled lightly. "Surprised, huh? I'm the fake daughter of the Langleys, but I'm actually the real daughter of the Walkers.

"I found my biological parents. Among the people who helped you in Amberton, sof them were arranged by my biological mother." "The person I first contacted was Marcus."

Natalie had initially asked Marcus to help rescue Olivia, but then the Gom Walkers also intervened. With an additional helping hand, Olivia could get rescued sooner, though this was just a small effort on Marcus' part. Still, Natalie couldn't bear to allow Olivia to suffer any longer.

"Nat, do your biological parents treat you well?" Olivia asked with a trembling voice. "I'm afraid... they might turn out like Victor and Diana." "No. They're very good to me." Natalie's tone softened slightly. "Especially my mother. She even brought Grandma over. She takes great care of her, and Grandma really likes her.

"However, I asked the Walkers to keep this a secret, so not many m people know that I'm their biological know that daughter. It's a good thing you're in Dithoria State now, and we can be together again. "You must also keep the fact that I'm the Walker family's biological daughter a secret. Don't let anyone else know." Olivia was somewhat confused as to why Natalie wanted the Walkers to keep her identity as their biological daughter a secret, but she knew Natalie always had her own reasons.

She just needed to listen to Natalie and follow her.
