The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 113 No Chance for Resistance or Refusal Natalie had to focus on treating Charles, so there was no way she could return to Amberton. However, if Victor and Selena were allowed to continue their reckless behavior, Langley Group would collapse from their incompetence, even without outside interference.

Yvonne had been at Langley Group for many years and was someone Grace had personally mentored. She was loyal to both Langley Group and Natalie.

Nonetheless, as Victor's distant cousin, she could not openly challenge his decisions or criticize his actions- even if she disagreed with them. Her only option was to seek help from Natalie or Grace to step in and rein in Victor and Selena.

"Ms. Langley, if Mrs. Langley Senior saw how chaotic things have becat the company, she'd be deeply disappointed and angry," Yvonne said, her voice hushed yet urgent.

She added, "Everyone at the company knows that Mr. Langley forced you out of the Langley family, but many senior staff still respect your leadership. Even if you're not a Langley by blood, you're still the largest shareholder in Langley Group." She pleaded, "Please cback, Ms. Langley. The company needs you." Natalie glanced at her watch. "I won't be able to return for the next three months. Make sure that any major decisions Victor tries to make require an online meeting with the shareholders.

"I'll be calling the other shareholders shortly. If he makes another reckless move behind my back, he'll be removed from his position." She continued decisively, "We'll appoint someone else as chairman. Langley Group is Grandma's legacy, and I won't let it fall apart because of Victor." Yvonne breathed a small sigh of relief. She hesitated, then asked carefully, "But you really aren't coming back, Ms. Langley?" Natalie replied firmly, "I'll attend the online meetings. If there's anything urgent at the company, notifyimmediately. As for EM Legacy, I'll investigate it myself. I plan to meet with their representative soon." Natalie suspected that Sky was the one behind EM Legacy, but she needed to confirm it. "Understood," Yvonne said.

"And one more thing," Natalie continued, her tone as sharp and cold as ever. "I'm not a Langley anymore, so don't callMs. Langley. From now on, it's Ms. Walker." "Yes, Ms. Walker," Yvonne said.

"Go ahead and inform all the shareholders. I want an online meeting in one hour." "Yes, Ms. Walker," Yvonne agreed before hanging up and hurrying to carry out Natalie's instructions.

With that settled, Natalie prepared to use the next hour to track down Sky. Last night at the Walker residence, she had not stayed long and had only exchanged contact information with Mason. To get in touch with Sky, she would need to ask Mason for his number.

Natalie quickly dialed Mason's number. "Hey, Mason. I need to get in touch with Sky. Could you sendhis number?" "No problem," Mason replied easily. "I'll send it right over. But is there something specific you're looking for? Maybe I can help you out first." "It's just sbusiness matters," Natalie said, keeping her explanation brief. "Just sendthe number, and that'll do." "Sure!" Mason did not press Natalie when she avoided explaining further. After hanging up, he sent her Sky's number, and unexpectedly, transferred her smoney.

Mason texted, "Take it. It's your allowance from me. I only get 2,000 dollars a month as pocket money, so don't think it's too little. I'll give you more once I start working and earning my own money." Natalie stared at the 2,000 dollars he sent her, feeling a wave of warmth. Mason was still a student, and while the Walker family did not deprive him of material comfort, they did not exactly spoil him with unlimited funds either.

The older siblings who were already working did not receive allowances anymore, so Mason's gesture of giving her everything he had spoke volumes about how much she meant to him. She accepted the transfer and messaged him back, "Thank you, Mason." Mason replied quickly, "Haha, as long as you don't think it's too little! I'll earn more for you soon." Natalie smiled faintly and texted back, "It's more than enough." Growing up, aside from Grace occasionally giving her spending money, this was the first tsomeone else had given her an allowance. For the first tin her life, Natalie felt like having a brother was not so bad after all.

The amount was not much, but it was significant-something she would remember. After receiving Mason's allowance, Natalie immediately called Sky.

The phone rang a few times before Sky picked up, and his cautious voice cthrough. "Hello? Is this Natalie?" Natalie was caught off guard but quickly replied, "Yes, it's me." "I know! I asked Mason for your number yesterday," Sky admitted sheepishly, clearly worried she might not have wanted him to have it. "Nat, I'm glad you called me." "I need to talk to you about something. Do you have time?" she asked.

"Of course, anytime," Sky replied almost too quickly. "Where are you? I can cto you." "There's no need. I'll go to you instead," Natalie said firmly.

"Sure! Cto the Walker Group headquarters. I'm at the main office on the 73rd floor," Sky said eagerly.

"Got it," Natalie agreed before hanging up. She grabbed her bag and headed out.

Since she did not have her own car in Dithoria State, getting around was inconvenient. Hence, she decided to borrow a car from Sheldon.

As she reached the ground floor, she spotted Marcus standing outside. His expression was icy, and he was on the phone, exuding an intimidating, no-nonsense air.

From the faint sound of the conversation, someone on the other end of his call seemed to have frustrated him, as he coldly muttered, "Useless."

Natalie needed to get past him, so she tried to walk around, but the oppressive energy radiating from him made it dear he was in no mood to be disturbed. Even Sheldon and the helpers were keeping their distance, not daring to approach him. Yet Natalie was not afraid. She approached him and politely said, "Mr. Holden, could you please move aside?" Marcus' sharp gaze landed on her, his face dark and frosty. Natalie did not flinch and repeated, "Mr. Holden, could you letthrough, please?" Marcus ended his call, took a step back, and asked bluntly, "Where are you going?" "I have something to take care of," Natalie replied, her tone neutral.

"Grandpa askedto show you around," Marcus said flatly, sliding his phone into his pocket. "Tellwhere you want to go, and I'll take you."

"That won't be necessary," Natalie answered, noticing his sour om expression. He made it appear as if she owed him a life-saving debt. "I can manage on my own. I'll just take a cab." Marcus' tone grew colder. "Ms. Sterling, your cousin, is my grandpa's savior, and you, Mr. Langley, are quite capable yourself. Naturally, I wouldn't dare mistreat you." Without waiting for her response, Marcus grabbed her wrist firmly. "Let's go."

Before Natalie could protest, Marcus pulled her toward his car. He opened the passenger door and practically shoved her inside with a strong push. Without saying a word, he reached With over, buckled her seatbelt in one swift motion, and slammed the door shut. Then, Marcus walked around to the driver's side, got in, and started the engine. The car sped off, leaving Natalie no tor opportunity to resist his forceful actions.
