The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 159 Let's See Who Outdoes Who Charlotte's sudden move shocked Walter and left Grace stunned.

Grace's expression darkened, and she almost lost her composure.

"Grace, please, I'm begging you, giveback my daughter!" Charlotte broke down, clutching Grace's hands tightly. Her tears and sniffles smeared all over Grace's hands as she sobbed uncontrollably.

"Grace, you've kept my daughter for 20 years. Please have pity onfor losing her for so long. My daughter endured so much with the Langley family. I haven't confronted them because they raised her, but now, all I want is the chance to make it up to her. Please, Grace, lethave my daughter back!" Charlotte wept, tears pouring down her face. Then, she gave a high-pitched scream. "Grace, I'm begging you!" "Let go of me," Grace said, her hands trembling as she tried to push Charlotte away. Charlotte had never acted like this before.

"Grace, are you willing to giveback my daughter?" Charlotte asked through her tears, looking at Grace with sorrow. "Grace, my daughter served as a living blood supply for your daughter-in-law all these years. Please have smercy on her.

"She's human! She feels pain! Her blood is finite! I'm not even asking you to stand up for her. I only want her back. I'll pay you anything. I have money. I'll give you money." Charlotte kneeled beside the bed. She pulled out her wallet, took all the bills inside, and placed them in front of Grace.

"Grace, I'll pay you. Just giveback my daughter, alright?" Grace's lips twitched involuntarily. She hadn't expected Charlotte to behave like this so suddenly. She felt lost on how to respond.

Walter stood by for a moment. Finally, he stepped forward and helped Charlotte stand up.

"Mrs. Walker, please don't get so worked up," he said calmly. "Mrs. Langley Senior has always been sensible and broad-minded. She has done countless charitable acts. She wouldn't steal your daughter from you." Grace wanted to tell Walter to keep quiet, but she was afraid Charlotte would scream even louder, so she let Walter continue.

"Mrs. Langley Senior, Mrs. Walker is really pitiful. She was separated from her daughter for 20 years. If Natalie had grown up with her biological parents, Mr. and Mrs. Langley would never have treated her as a living blood bank.

"Mrs. Walker is a mother who loves her daughter. The fact that she hasn't blamed Mr. and Mrs. Langley shows how much she's endured. Mrs. Langley Senior, please let Natalie go back to her real family.

"Besides, even if Natalie returns to her birth parents, she'll still see you as her grandmother. Instead of losing her, you'll gain a son and daughter-in-law as well. Mrs. Walker, wouldn't you agree?" Charlotte immediately nodded. "Yes, yes, Mr. Watson is right. My husband and I will certainly treat you like our mother. After all, if it weren't for you caring for Natalie all these years, she might have died from excessive blood draws when she was still a child. She wouldn't even be alive now to reunite with us." As soon as Charlotte said this, tears rolled down her cheeks again. She slapped her leg and burst into loud sobs. "My poor daughter..... It's my fault. I didn't know you were swapped at birth and caused you to suffer all those years!" "Mrs. Langley Senior, just agree to Mrs. Walker's request!" Walter said firmly. "Are you trying to push Mrs. Walker to the brink? You're a mother too. Can't you understand how Mrs. Walker feels?" Grace's fingers trembled. She wanted to curse Walter for speaking nonsense, but she was supposed to have the mind of a six-year-old, so what could she possibly know? She threw a tantrum like a child, but Charlotte was crying and wailing so loudly that if Grace carried on, Charlotte's voice would drown hers out even more.

"I'm scared, I'm scared," Grace said, grabbing the blanket to cover her head and trembling underneath it. "I want Nattie, I want Nattie." Walter frowned and was about to lift the blanket when Charlotte held down his hand. He looked up and saw that the woman who had been sobbing moments earlier was now calm and distant, with no sign of tears.

Charlotte silently shook her head at him, so Walter slowly pulled his hand back.

"Grace, don't be afraid. I'll go get Nattie to csee you." Charlotte's voice choked up again the moment she spoke, and the sudden shift surprised Walter. Still, he said nothing, simply watching Charlotte perform.

Under the blanket, Grace kept trembling and whimpering for Natalie.

Charlotte patted the shaking blanket, gave Walter a meaningful look, and left the room first.

Once in the hallway, Charlotte's mouth curved into a cold, mocking smile. "Mr. Watson, whose side are you on?" Walter answered without thinking, "I'm on Natalie's side. I already met Mr. Walker when I arrived. I know what he wants." Upon hearing this, Charlotte nodded with satisfaction. She brushed her hair back and smiled at Walter. "How was my acting?"

Walter nodded seriously, not holding back his admiration. "Mrs. Walker, your acting is excellent." Charlotte let out a short laugh. "Grace likes to pretend she's mentally disabled. In that case, I'll act like a desperate mother. Let's see who outdoes who. I don't believe she can keep acting forever. "Natalie is kind and dutiful. She may see the truth, but she might choose to forgive it. But as her mother, I can't forgive." Charlotte's gaze grew colder with every word. "The Langleys had better pray they had nothing to do with my daughter being switched at birth."

Walter felt a chill, and then he began to tear up. Over the years, he had often told Natalie to put herself first. Langley Group made a huge profit annually, and Victor and Diana took so many dividends that they had more than enough money to replace all of Diana's blood. Yet, Victor and Diana used Grace's car accident as an excuse to force Natalie into donating more blood for Diana many times.

Each time, Natalie's face would remain pale for days. She would disappear for a while but eventually return, looking better.

Walter had his doubts, but he never ostusher went m asked. He assumed she went m recoverin somewhere to recover in private.

After all, they were just friends. He couldn't cross that boundary. Now that he saw how Charlotte and William protected Natalie, Walter realized that genuine love was on a whole different level.
