The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 208 So What if It's on Purpose "I haven't checked yet. The other party is a powerful figure. They probably don't want us to find out, so there's not a single trace left behind." William sighed. "However, one thing is certain the other party has no ill intentions toward us or Natalie. On the contrary, they're helping us." Charlotte nodded. "But we still need to be extra cautious." "I got it. Don't worry!" As the couple spoke, they looked up into the air. It was only when they were unable to see any trace of the helicopter that they finally went back into the villa.

In Amberton's Dithoria City Hospital, Grace lay on the hospital bed, while Selena sat in front of her. She kept cursing at Kevin with vulgar language. "Why the hell didn't that old coot givethe shares? He even spat in my mouth! "Damn that old, stubborn bastard with one foot in the grave! When I think about it now, it makesfeel so sick to my stomach. It's not as if I tried to kill him. I only asked for his shares, and even that was already being lenient toward him.

"Besides, wasn't Langley Group founded by you, Grandma? They've been enjoying the benefits all these years, yet not only are they ungrateful, they even want to use it to threaten our family!" She continued, "I've never seen someone so utterly shameless and disgraceful. Anyway, I will not allow the grievances Kevin causedto be settled so easily.

"Grandma, I'm your biological granddaughter. I've endured and suffered so many hardships outside for so many years. You must seek justice for me!" "Before, you were muddle-headed and always favored Natalie, the fake heiress, so I could let it go. I could overlook the harm you've causedin the past. But now, you have to stand up for me. You can only ever love me." "Shut up!" Grace snapped, unable to bear Selena's constant rambling, especially when she used that filthy language-it tarnished her ears.

"Look at the time. Natalie should be arriving soon. When she does, I want you three to get out," Grace said. "But why?" Selena stood up abruptly. "Why do you want us to leave? I won't do it! "Grandma, you're not thinking of giving your shares to Natalie again, are you? Listen to me! Natalie already transferred her shares to me, and they're mine now. If you dare to give my shares to her, don't blme for being impolite to you." "And how will you be impolite to me?" Grace was trembling with fury, and her fingers shook as she pointed at Selena. "Tell me, how are you going to be impolite to me?" "Selena, stop talking." Victor stepped forward, covering Selena's mouth with his hand. "Mom, Selena has suffered a lot outside over the years. She's erratic and doesn't know how to speak properly. Please don't take it personally." Selena tried to say more, but Victor shot her a look and pulled her out of the room.

Diana was sitting to the side in silence. She took a bite of the cut-up apple, stood up, and looked at Grace before saying, "Mom, you don't seriously think Natalie will return to the Langleys and work subserviently, do you? "You're the real mastermind behind everything! All these years, you've keptin the dark and deceived me. I thought you really were against us making Natalie donate her blood toback then! Who would've thought that you're the one with the evilest heart?" Grace glared at Diana fiercely. "Shut up, you idiot! What do you know?" "Sure. I'm an idiot, and I don't know anything. But what I do know is that Natalie will never forgive you this time." Diana had strong objections to Grace's blatant bias against Selena ever since she chome. In fact, she even thought about quietly getting rid of Grace without anyone noticing.

"Mom, while Natalie isn't here yet, could you tellwhy you did this?" Diana leaned closer, staring at Grace with a sharp gaze. "I'm really starting to doubt things. Was Natalie really mistakenly taken by the nurse at the hospital? And was Selena really kidnapped and sold by the snurse? Grace reached out to pat her chest with one hand and slapped Diana in the face with her other. "Idiot! How dare you think that?" "Why wouldn't I?" Diana braved the slap from Grace, but she was unusually calm, not getting angry. She stood up straight, and the corner of her lips curled into a meaningful smile.

"Mom, tell me. When Natalie arrives, and I tell her you orderedto abuse her as a child to make her grateful and devoted to you as a grandma, do you think she'll believe it?" "Diana!" Grace abruptly raised her voice. "If you dare mess around, I won't spare you!" "How will you retaliate? Do you think your lifeless body lying in this bed will stop me? Mrs. Langley Senior, I'm not Natalie. I will make sure to return the favor." Diana had a sarcastic expression on her face. "Natalie is so unlucky to have met a shameless old lady like you." "You-" Sneering, Diana turned around and left the ward before Grace could respond again. As soon as she exited the ward, she saw Natalie and Walter standing there with calm expressions.

Diana didn't know if they had just arrived or if they had already been there for a while. She nodded slightly at Natalie, smiled at Walter, then turned and left without looking back.

"Let's go in," Natalie said.

Natalie calmly pushed open the door and entered, followed closely by Walter.

When they arrived earlier, they had just managed to overhear Diana and Grace's conversation. Diana seemed to have given up on pretending, instead adopting a fearless stance.

Natalie sat down beside the bed, and Walter quietly closed the door behind him.

"Mrs. Langley Senior," Natalie greeted with a calm tone while placing the fruit basket and flowers down. "How are you feeling?" Grace's eyes began to redden, and she shook her head. She choked up as she said, "Nattie, I'm not well." "Walter, cover for a bit," Natalie said, turning to look at Walter. "Mrs. Langley Senior, letintroduce you two. This is my boyfriend, Walter."

"Nattie..." Grace's voice cracked as tears welled up in her eyes. "You can't be with Walter. YouXust can't Walter suit doesn't suit you. You need to marry Marcus. I asked you to get together with Marcus. Why didn't you listen?" "Why should be with Marcus?" Natalie asked indifferently. "Mrs. Langley Senior, why do you insist seduce Marcus and then marry him? What's wrong with Walter? What part of him isn't worthy of me?" QUMS Natalie calmly said to Grace, "If you were really doing it for my own good, how could you makeseduce Marcus while he still had a fiancée? You edto make it happen I wanted to or not " Natalie then sneered and added, "Mrs. Langley Senior, have you ever done something like this before? Is that why you think this kind of stunt is honorable?"

"Nattie, don't be angry with me. Don't stay together with Walter. Listen to me." Grace reached out to grab Natalie's hand, but Natalie quickly swatted her away. "I know you're doing this on purpose," Grace said.

"On purpose?" Natalie smiled. When she did, her delicate eyebrows curved d and her cheeks showed a upward, and deep dimple, instantly diminishing her cold demeanor. However, her smile didn't reach her eyes.

"If you think I'm doing this on purpose, then yes, I did it on purpose. What about it? You don't really think you can control me, do you?" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
