The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 170 Grace Slapped Tyler Grace's face turned dark with anger. Tyler looked equally furious.

They were both infuriated. Neither had expected that even a random Holden family employee like Elijah would dare to insult them like this.

Tyler was unrelated to the Holden family, but Grace was Charles' godsister. At Holden Residence, everyone had to treat her with respect. Elijah was the first to speak to her so rudely.

Grace spat angrily. If she were younger and less worried about appearances, she would have slapped Elijah. "Let's go to the Walker residence," Grace said, suppressing her anger.

"Selena and Diana are both in the hands of the Walker family. Natalie is now the Walker family's real daughter.

"In the past, the Langley family used her as a blood source, and the Walker family was very upset about it. But even if they're upset, they've already taught them a lesson. They have to hand over Selena and Diana now." "Mrs. Langley Senior, I need to ask you something," Tyler said, staring at her. "Did you really use Natalie as a blood source on purpose?" His parents had taught him to respect his elders, especially Grace, from young. His engagement to Natalie had also been arranged by Grace.

He did have feelings for Natalie, but she always treated him politely yet distantly.

From an etiquette perspective, Natalie never did anything wrong in how she interacted with him. But from an emotional perspective, he didn't like that kind of relationship.

He and Natalie had never held hands or hugged, let alone kissed.

After Selena returned hand learned he was Natalie's fiancé, she immediately showed him the affectionate behavior a fiancée ought to show.

Tyler had felt that such closeness on their first meeting was a bit inappropriate. Still, when he thought about the hardships Selena had suffered after being abducted, he found her pitiful.

She was the real daughter of the Langley family. Strictly speaking, if the nurse had never taken her away to be sold, he and Selena would have been engaged all this time.

So even though it seemed unfair to Natalie, Tyler accepted Selena's familiarity. He tacitly accepted how the Langley family treated Natalie.

But now, hearing everything Elijah had said, Tyler felt angry. Deep down, he also felt a bit guilty and ashamed.

He liked Natalie, but she didn't feel the sabout him. So, when she was kicked out of the Langleys, he shamefully hoped she would end up miserable. Then, he could appear like a savior and rescue her from hardship.

However, Natalie left without a backward glance. She instantly cast him aside as her fiancé. After leaving the Langleys, she never once contacted him.

Tyler felt infuriated. So, he never tried to contact Natalie either.

When he suddenly received orders to cto Dithoria and pick up Selena, he rushed over immediately. He wanted to see for himself how heartless Natalie could be.

When he arrived, he called her a few times and messaged her, only to realize she had blocked him.

Left with no choice, Tyler stayed at a hotel and waited for Grace's instructions. He was there for a whole day before Grace called him that night and sent him an address, telling him to pick her up.

Now, Elijah had left them on the road after insulting them. Tyler's anger only grew. In his frustration, he finally dared to question Grace.

"Mrs. Langley Senior, I think that man had a point," Tyler said, breaking the silence. "If you really saw Natalie as your granddaughter, would your family have used her like she was a blood bag? That's not how real family treats their own." Grace raised her hand and slapped Tyler hard across the face. "Others can doubt me, but you dare to doubttoo?" Her voice was icy, and her gaze at Tyler looked as if it had been dipped in ice.

Tyler was startled by the chilling look in her eyes. He instinctively backed down. "Mrs. Langley Senior, you..." "Tyler, all these years, can you honestly say I treated Natalie badly? If we had known she wasn't our real granddaughter, would we have waited 20 years to find our biological one? "If I were truly unkind to Natalie, would I have made sure she received shares in the Langley Group, even after Selena returned? My real granddaughter went through so much, so of course, I want to make it up to her. Why should I favor Natalie over Selena?

"And about those rumors of us using Natalie for blood transfusions, she was already an adult when that m v happened. Taking her blood a few times isn't a big deal. Just look at her now. Does she look like someone who's been suffering from chronic blood loss?

"You believe whatever people say. Is that how your parents taught you? You don't even trust th youth ones colbblest to you. tristead, your listen to random gossip. If you end up being the patriarch of the Miller family, you'll ruin the family's nall by yourself." Tyler clutched his stinging cheek, staring at Grace in shock. Suddenly, he remembered how formidable she used to be in the business world.

When he was a child, he had occasionally followed his father around and watched Grace in her element. Fear and respect from long ago returned to him.

He lowered his head and admitted he was wrong. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have questioned you."

Grace nodded, and her expression softened slightly. "Tyler, it doesn't m matter if outsiders have doubts about me. You and Natalie were both children I doted on. Don't you know how I treat her? "Next tsomething happens, think first. Maybe someone is trying to sow discord or tarnish the Langley family.

If even the Miller family doesn't trust me, how will anyone else trust me?" "Yes, I was wrong," Tyler admitted obediently, though deep down, he felt something was off.

"Alright, let's call the driver to pick us up." Her tone softened, and the sharpness in her expression was gone. She quickly returned to looking like a kind and caring grandmother.
