Chapter 157 William Personally Picked Walter Up Walter got into William's car. As soon as the driver started moving, William took out the paternity test and handed it to Walter.
"Mr. Watson, please take a look at the test results that show Natalie is our daughter." "Alright." Walter didn't hesitate. He carefully reviewed the documents and, after confirming that they were real, returned them to William.
"Mr. Walker, can I call Natalie? I believe the test is real, but I need to ask about her thoughts." "No problem. Go ahead." Walter nodded. He dialed Natalie's number in front of William.
The phone rang three times before Natalie answered. Her voice cthrough, saying, "Hello, Walter. Have you arrived in Dithoria?" "Yes, I have. Is your biological father Mr. William Walker? He cto the airport to pickup. Right now, I'm in his car." "That's right." Natalie was a bit surprised that William had personally cfor Walter, but after thinking about it, she realized it was not that shocking.
William and Charlotte were extremely concerned about her. They wanted to set everything up for her. They knew she wanted to cut ties with the Langleys, so they knew Walter was a friend who worked with her at Langley Group.
"He's my biological father. Since you've already met him, go rest at your hotel first. I'll csee you later." "Alright." Walter kept his reply simple. Then, he ended the call.
"We've learned most of what happened to our daughter at the Langleys," William said, handing Walter another file. "This folder shows how many times they took my daughter's blood over the years.

"We never imagined our biological daughter was someone else's child all this time. If we had known, we wouldn't have waited until she was 20 to find her.
"I've been investigating the hospital where my wife gave birth, but it happened so long ago. Many of the staff have disappeared, almost as if someone erased their records. But we can talk about that later." William watched Walter closely. Walter's expression was grim as he studied the documents. His lips tightened more and more with each page he read. In the end, the veins on the back of his hand stood out from how tightly he gripped the folder.
William noted Walter's reaction. Before meeting him, he was unsure if Walter was on Grace's side, but now that they were face-to-face, he felt certain he was not.
"Mr. Walker, Natalie is already set on leaving Langley Group. She cut ties with them the moment Selena returned," Walter said, forcing himself to stay calm. He put the files away and handed them back to William.
"Mrs. Langley Senior chosebecause Natalie pickedout from the orphanage. But all these years, I didn't live at the Langley residence. I've known for a while that my sponsor wasn't really Mrs. Langley Senior, but Natalie.
"I already made up my mind before I cto Dithoria. I stayed at Langley Group for Natalie, not because I felt grateful to Mrs. Langley Senior.
"After my graduation, I joined Langley Group. In the years I've served it, I've repaid the debt from when Mrs. Langley Senior tookfrom the orphanage.
"I'll advise Natalie to leave Langley Group and the Langleys quickly. As for Mrs. Langley Senior, we may need to give her stime." William heard the answer he wanted and nodded with satisfaction. "Mr. Watson, I plan to give Natalie a fashion company. You two worked together in Amberton before. Now that you're in Dithoria, I hope you can continue to work with her." Walter agreed without hesitation, "As long as Natalie is fine with it, I have no problem." "Great. I'll take you to the hotel. You can get in touch with Natalie later. We won't interfere with whatever happens with the Langleys for now. I trust you'll handle it well." William smiled slightly as he looked at Walter with admiration.
Before Walter cto Dithoria, William had ordered a private investigation into him.
Walter had grown up in an orphanage. During a charity visit, Natalie noticed him and asked Grace to adopt him. After that, he attended good schools supported by the Langleys' money. He was outstanding. After graduating, he worked at Langley Group as chief lawyer.
For years, he followed Natalie's instructions and treated her like a sister.
William couldn't be sure if Walter really regarded Natalie as a sister. When Walter finally got close to Natalie, she was already engaged to Tyler.
When William thought of Tyler, his expression darkened again. As Natalie's fiancé, Tyler should have stood by her from the start, but instead, he took Selena's side and bullied Natalie.
Did all those years of affection mean less than her status as the Langley family's heiress? Besides, the Langleys were hardly an elite family.
Walter sensed a chill in the car. William had a strong presence, the kind a person gained from being in a high position for a long time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWalter couldn't help feeling amazed. Natalie's biological father was obviously not ordinary.
Seeing this, Walter felt relieved. If William were an ordinary man, he might have been manipulated by the Langleys. Natalie wanted to leave Langley Group, but Grace might have tried to guilt her.
"Mr. Watson, get a good rest tonight.
Now that you're here in Dithoria, we can resolve everything one step at a time, William said, pulling back his imposing demeanor and smiling slightly. "We're here. Your room is ready. Once you're out, someone will guide you. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't be walking you in." "Alright, thank you, Mr. Walker."
"Oh, by the way, Victor and his wife, along with Selena, are all here in Dithoria. They've been pestering Natalie for her shares in Langley Group, so we might as well give them what they want. Tomorrow morning, I'll have someone bring them to the hotel so you can meet them." "Alright, thank you, Mr. Walker. That will make things easier." Walter nodded.
"Mr. Walker, may I ask one more question? Is Mrs. Langley Senior also in Dithoria? Is she staying with Natalie?" "No," William said, smiling. "I won't let Natalie see Grace for now. You're a smart man, so you know what to do." Walter nodded. "I do."
"That's good. You should rest well tonight. Tomorrow morning, I'll m arrange for you and the Langleys to meet. It will be easier to move on once we give the shares back to them," William said with a smile. Walter nodded and said goodbye before stepping out of the car.
As William had said, someone immediately cto greet Walter. He got settled in his hotel room.
Shortly afterward, Walter received a message from Grace.
"Walter, I know you're in Dithoria now. Cto Hector Private Hospital right away and secretly takeaway."
