The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 151 Marcus Holds Natalie Back Mason's words were obviously disdainful, and Grace becincensed. After a long while, she exhaled deeply.

"Don't be so cynical. I gave those shares to Nattie because I loved her. When I gave them to her, I didn't know she was from the Walker family.

"If she wasn't from your family, then her biological parents would have probably been dirt poor. Then, she could depend on her job and the shares in Langley Group.

"Mr. Mason, don't think too lowly of me." "Sure. I'm not a good person and thought you were evil. I'll apologize, alright?" he mocked.

Mason wasn't in the mood to continue the conversation because he had reached his intended goal.

He said, "Timothy, I have the documents with me. You can let Victor go." "Alright." Timothy smiled and hung up.

"I want to see Nattie," Grace told Mason. "She hasn't visitedin a day." "I'm sorry, but Nat won't be seeing you for the next three days," Mason replied cheerily. "Don't worry, Mrs. Langley Senior. I'll take care of you." "I want to see Nattie!" Grace remained insistent. She didn't believe that Natalie would refuse to visit her and take the Walkers' side.

"She's going on a date with Marcus now! She isn't free to care for you." Keeping his phone, Mason added, "Rest well, and you'll be discharged soon." After that, he left the hospital with his phone.

Grace wasn't willing to believe him. She called Natalie a few times, but no one answered. This made her feel rather uneasy.

She didn't know how things had turned astray from her original plan.

Since she was the one who raised Natalie, she knew the latter was loyal and caring. However, she was more ruthless than the average person.

Back then, she gave up on Victor and turned her attention to Natalie because she admired her merciless tactics. As expected, Langley Group averted many crises and flourished under the latter's care.

When Natalie told Grace that she wanted to resign from her position, she panicked.

Without Natalie, Langley Group would fall to ruins. Selena was her real granddaughter, but she was spoiled and couldn't take responsibility for anything.

Victor and Diana were foolish for sending Selena into Langley Group.

Since Grace couldn't get Natalie to pick up the phone, she sent a voice recording. "Nattie, I feel uncomfortable, and I miss you. Please visitat the hospital." Her tone was pitiful, and she sounded scared. In the past, Natalie would immediately visit her in the nursing honce she heard her speak like that.

Grace hoped that it would work this tas well.

Meanwhile, Marcus had invited Natalie to the largest park in Dithoria for a walk.

"Although this is Dithoria's largest resort, this area isn't very developed. So, there are many herbs and mushrooms in this part of the forest, Ms. Walker," Marcus explained. "Previously, I saw Ms. Sterling make smedicine. There were a few medicinal ingredients inside that could be plucked here." "Is that so?" Natalie was very interested in herbs because Milan had previously given her a manual about them. There were many rare herbs that weren't available in the market.

Milan had told her she'd hit the jackpot if she could find those herbs.

Though Natalie didn't care about getting rich, she noticed that Milan's eyes shone brightly while he talked about it.

Evidently, he cared deeply about the herbs in that book.

So, if she had the chance, she would try to find them.

"Of course." When Marcus saw Natalie's expression light up, he couldn't help but smile. Although he sent her many pretty dresses and shoes in the past, she didn't seem happy at all.

However, at the mere mention of herbs, her eyes lit up.

He recalled Timothy telling him to get her attention for three days and added, "I told Elijah to send us tools. I can accompany you into the mountains and pick the herbs together." "Do you recognize the herbs?" "No, but I like to pick mushrooms," Marcus replied calmly. "I like watching influencers pick mushrooms to eat because it's relaxing. I can sell them too, so it'll be like killing two birds with one stone." When she heard that, Natalie was surprised. Then, she burst out laughing. "Okay!" She didn't expect the aloof Marcus to have a hobby of picking mushrooms.

After that, Marcus immediately called Elijah. "Prepare the tools needed to enter the mountains. Ms. Walker and I are going there." "Alright, Mr. Holden." Half an hour later, Elijah brought two large bags over. At the stime, Noah, who had been hiding in the shadows, appeared.

Both of them carried the bags and led the way in the forest.

"I can carry it myself," Natalie said shyly.

However, Marcus interrupted her firmly, "Don't be so polite, Ms Walker. Your Instead of wasting your energy, you should save it for more important things." He meant that she should look for herbs instead.

After thinking briefly, she agreed. "Alright. I'll have to trouble both of you." "It isn't troublesome." Beaming widely, Elijah responded, "Be careful, Ms. Walker." "Thank you." "Follow me, Ms. Walker." Walking toward Natalie, Marcus passed her a hiking stick. "Take this so you'll be able to walk better." "Thank you." "We'll need to stay here for three days." While he spoke, Marcus whispered to Natalie, "Will it affect my grandfather's treatment?" "Three days?" Suddenly, Natalie stopped in her tracks.

"That's not possible. Mr. Holden Senior has to have acupuncture every day." Frowning, she added, "Don't you consider things carefully before doing it?" Marcus apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry. I didn't consider things properly." "Though finding herbs is important, Mr. Holden Senior's health is crucial." Then, Natalie checked the time.

"After staying here for three hours, I'll go back to treat Mr. Holden Senior." "Okay, I'll listen to you, Ms. Walker."

Natalie was surprised by Marcus' ready agreement. However, she knew ren't many useful things they there weren't could find in the forest in three hours.

"Mr. Holden, let's mind the time. I still want to enter the forest." As Natalie stared inside the forest, she noticed the sunlight shining on the wild plants, which looked rather beautiful.
