The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 162 What A Coincidence After finishing what she had to say, Grace hung up the phone right away, not giving John a single chance to speak.

She was certain that he would do as told. After all, years ago, it was she who had personally helped elevate the Miller family. She was also the one who decided on Natalie's engagement to Tyler.

Even after she gradually withdrew from the public, she told Natalie to keep supporting the Miller family as before.

The Langleys and the Millers were partners. They were essentially one entity. If one thrived, the other would benefit. If one fell, the other would suffer too.

The Miller family clearly understood that. Therefore, Tyler would surely come.

At the Holden residence, Charles hurriedly went to find Natalie. He also made a phone call to Marcus.

"Marcus, go to the hospital right away. Grace has recovered. She's regained her senses! This is amazing news. After all these years, she's finally recovered." On the other end of the line, Marcus was surprised.

Grace recovered at this particular moment? What a coincidence.

"Grandpa, I left an important document at home. Could you have Ms. Walker bring it over to me?" Marcus quickly asked. "Once she gets here with the file, I'll go to the hospital with her." He knew Charles had been trying to create chances for him and Natalie to spend talone. Surely Charles would agree.

Sure enough, Charles responded without thinking. "Alright, I'll let Natalie know. I'll go to the hospital with Sheldon. You two cquickly, okay? But if you're busy, it's fine to clater." "Okay, thanks, Grandpa." Marcus hung up and immediately called Hector. "Hey, what's going on? Why did Grace suddenly recover at a tlike this?" Hector had just stepped out of surgery and felt confused. "Recovered from what?" "Her mental state. She's back to normal," Marcus said in his low, cold voice.

Hector blurted out a curse. "That old hag must be doing it on purpose!" "I'll try to delay Natalie so she'll arrive at the hospital as late as possible, but I can't guarantee how long that'll be," Marcus said, checking his watch. "Alright, bye." With that, Marcus ended the call and dialed Natalie. "Hello, Ms. Walker. I have to trouble you to make a trip." "Grandpa Charles already told me. Which file do you need, and where is it? I'll bring it to you," Natalie answered calmly, with no hint of emotion. She didn't mention Grace at all.

Marcus felt a slight stir inside. He sympathized with Natalie a bit more now. Yet, it was only that—sympathy. Everyone had their own fate. He was helping her only because she had saved Charles.

"It's in the study. The first drawer. The topmost file," he replied.

"Got it. I'll be there soon." After hanging up, Natalie informed Charles. Then, she headed to the study as Marcus had instructed. Before long, she left Holden Residence with the file in hand.

Marcus had given her a car for convenience. Natalie drove on her own. Throughout the trip, her face remained tense, her gaze frighteningly cold.

She had taken such careful care of Grace all those years. At first, she thought her medical skills were insufficient, so she found one famous doctor after another. Even her mentor told her to give up and let Grace stay that way.

Eventually, she stopped trying. Seeing Grace live carefree like a child, she believed her mentor was right. Now she realized her mentor must have known long ago but could not reveal it. That was why he persuaded her to let things take their course.

Of course, she couldn't possibly treat Grace, who faked her illness.

Arriving downstairs at the Holden Group's building, Natalie's eyes were bloodshot.

She took several deep breaths and picked up the file from the passenger seat. After putting on a pair of sunglasses, she got out of the car. Then, she headed toward the main entrance of Holden Group.

Noah was waiting at the door. When he saw her, he approached at once. "Ms. Walker, this way, please. Thank you for coming." Natalie nodded and let him lead her.

Noah had a refined appearance and didn't speak much. He was the opposite of his brother Elijah.

Most of the time, Elijah remained hidden, protecting Marcus in secret. Noah would appear when needed to handle certain tasks.

Marcus typically only summoned Elijah in the presence of people he deeply disliked. Elijah had a knack for dealing with troublemakers.

From her few days at Holden Residence, Natalie had more or less figured out the people around Marcus. Noah was quiet and handled things steadily. He had a refined appearance that made him easy to like. Following him, Natalie passed through the lobby and took the private elevator for the president. Noah pressed the button for the 18th floor.

"Mr. Holden is holding a small meeting on the 18th floor. It'll take about half an hour. Ms. Walker, I hope you don't mind waiting for a bit," Noah said politely.

Natalie wouldn't make things difficult for him. Besides, she didn't want to see Grace anyway. "That's fine." When the elevator reached the 18th floor, Noah made a gesture inviting her to step out. "Ms. Walker, after you." "Thank you," Natalie said as she stepped out of the elevator.

Noah guided her down the hall and soon brought her to a small reception room. "Ms. Walker, please wait here for a while. I'll get you scoffee." "Thanks, but no need. Just a bottle of water is fine." "Alright. Please wait a moment."

Before long, Noah returned with a water for Natalie! bottle of mineral water She thanked him and indicated that he could go about his own business.

However, Noah didn't leave. He simply stayed with her quietly.

Half an hour later, Marcus arrived right on time. He wore a sleek black suit with no visible logos. His tall, upright figure and striking features were as cold as ever. Natalie was immersed in her own thoughts, so she didn't notice Marcus' entrance.

In the past half hour, Grace had tried calling many times and sent her numerous texts.

Charlotte, William, and Mason had all contacted her, warning her not to fall for Grace's scheme.

"Thank you for waiting, Ms. Walker," Marcus said in a deep voice.

Natalie snapped back to reality. She looked up at him and quickly got to her feet. "It's fine. Mr. Holden, here's the file you requested." "Thank you." Marcus took the file. "This is very important. If you hadn't brought it to me, the losses could have been huge."

Natalie gave a faint smile but didn't call out his lie. With so many people Ω at his disposal, he didn't need her help. Still, she chose to accept his gesture of kindness. "I'm glad I could help you, Mr. Holden." "Alright," Marcus said with a nod. "To show my gratitude for such a big favor, how about I treat you to a meal? A seafood buffet, perhaps?" Seafood had lots of shells, and it needed to be cooked on the spot. It would buy more time.
