The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 124 Selena Causes a Huge Scene Natalie was slightly taken aback when Marcus unexpectedly acknowledged his mistake.

As she noticed how the drug's effects had faded completely, she untied Marcus and helped him up.

Then, they both went silent. They were at a loss for how to interact suddenly.

Moments later, Natalie broke the silence.

"Here, take this." Natalie took out a fragrant sachet and handed it to Marcus. "I made this after Victor druggedlast time. This can help prevent powder substances like sedatives." "And this, too," Natalie said as she passed the small dark green bottle to him. "Should the drug be in your food or drink and you catch on, take one." Marcus silently took the things Natalie handed him. He placed the fragrant sachet near his nose and sniffed. It carried a hint of gardenia's fragrance, complemented by a faint osmanthus scent.

"What's inside?" "Herbals," Natalie replied concisely. "You wouldn't know even if I told you." "What are you going to use then, after giving this to me?" "You don't have to worry about me," she responded coldly as she sat on the couch.

Marcus' face was pale, and there was a thin film of sweat on his forehead. He clamped his lips together, looking up at Natalie from his place on the carpet.

This was already the second time.

It was the second the was drugged, and Natalie didn't take the opportunity to seduce him. Instead, she slapped him and gave him the antidote.

Marcus felt a sharp pain the moment he placed his fingers on his cheek, and the corner of his lips twitched a little. Her slap was no different from last time. It was swift, sharp, and merciless.

On top of that, she felt no guilt at all after slapping him.

But he couldn't say anything about it, nor could he blher in the slightest. Natalie was expressionless, staring at him indifferently with her arms crossed. Marcus pursed his lips. He took the medicine she gave him and stood up.

"You can consider the medicine a token of appreciation for your gifts, Mr. Holden." Natalie stood up as well. She cast a glance at the boxes on the couch and said, "Thank you for the gifts.' Marcus didn't say anything. He gripped the medicine in his hand and gave Natalie a quick nod. Then, he left her room, shutting the door behind him as he left.

Natalie rested for a while in the room before she opened the gifts. The majority of the clothes were women's wear from Nouvelle Zara, mostly consisting of dresses.

There were all sorts of beautiful dresses, and Natalie was the one who had designed them. She measured one of them against herself and realized it fitted her just right.

She stared at the other dresses on the couch. Most of them were familiar to her, but she never thought that someday, someone would buy them and give them to her as a present.

And they bought a lot at once. Even if she wore a different dress every day, she wouldn't repeat a single one in 30 days.

Marcus seemed to have good taste. The dresses he chose perfectly matched her physique and style. Natalie put away the dresses and went to unbox the other gifts. Inside the remaining boxes were sjewelry pieces.

Among the jewelry pieces, a lovely silver bracelet stood out. It caught Natalie's eyes right away.

There was a tiny crescent dangling on the thin chain with a small white pearl embedded in the clasp. It was handcrafted with pure silver.

The clasp had an ingenious design. When the chain was placed into the white pearl, it clasped shut automatically with no visible trace of the closure on the outside.

Natalie cast an eye on the price tag. It was 3000 dollars, the cheapest among all the other jewelry pieces.

She picked up the bracelet and slipped it onto her wrist. She took a photo of it and sent it to Grace with a text that read, "Grandma, is this pretty?" Immediately, Grace replied, "Yes, Nattie's hand is always pretty." Natalie chuckled as she typed, "I'm talking about the bracelet, Grandma." Grace responded seconds later, "The bracelet is pretty, but Nattie's hand is prettier." Natalie's expression softened a little as she read Grace's texts. She forwarded the photo to Marcus.

Having received the gift and liking it so much, it was only polite for her to express her gratitude to him. She texted, "Mr. Holden, thank you for the gift. It's very beautiful, and I like it a lot." Soon, Marcus replied, "You're welcome. You saved my grandpa. I should be the one to thank you." Natalie soon closed the chat box with Marcus.

As she was going to tidy up her things, she received a call.

It was a call from Kevin Zeller.

She answered right away. "Yes, Mr. Zeller?" "Selena is causing a huge scene at Langley Group, and she said she's going to jump down from the rooftop! Please cback, Ms. Natalie!" There was an audible tremor in Kevin's voice, given his old age.

"Selena is causing a huge scene?" "Yes, she is! Do you remember how I accidentally spat and it went straight into her mouth during our meeting back then? So she..." Kevin was too embarrassed to continue because he knew he was at fault. He never imagined he'd spit so accurately.

Thus, Selena took the opportunity to create a commotion in the meeting room, and she persisted. She seized the chance to threaten Kevin, asking him to pass on his shares in the company to her or she would commit suicide. Selena was making such a huge fuss, dragging herself across the ground in the meeting room.

In the end, Kevin called for security. After they yanked Selena away, she ran outside while shrieking and m climbed to the rooftop. Her hair was a total mess. With a face full of tears and snot, she screamed and waved her arms frantically, shouting about how she was going to jump off the building. Kevin had never seen someone so crazy before. He was so shocked at that tthat he almost got a heart attack.

Seeing the situation escalate, the other shareholders immediately excused themselves to avoid getting involved. Jack was the only one who stayed. At the stime, he was also scared of Selena who had gone mad that he instinctively grabbed Kevin and ran.

However, Victor had instructed people to guard the rooftop elevator.

He even threatened Kevin that he would kill his entire family and hang them in front of his house if Kevin dared to leave. Kevin doubted Victor would dare to do something like that. He was just worried that he had to carry the guilt of a life taken for the rest of his days.

As Victor was begging for Selena to cback down, she took advantage of the moment, asking Kevin to pass on his company shares to her as compensation for emotional distress.

If Kevin refused to, she'd jump off the building.

Feeling frightened, Kevin retold everything to Natalie in a low voice. After the latter had understood the whole story, she becspeechless.

Selena sure knew how to make the most of an opportunity. Knowing that she couldn't get Natalie's shares in the company yet, she shifted her target to the other shareholders.

"Selena said she wants to see you, Ms. Natalie. If she doesn't get to see you, she'll jump off the building and haunt you in your dream every night." Noticing how Natalie had been quiet all this time, Kevin could only deliver Selena's message once again.

"She also said that she'll haunt basically every single person who's related and kind to you, especially Mrs. Langley Senior. So, Ms. Natalie, do you think you can cover now?"
