The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 251

Marcus was once again surprised by how Natalie dealt with the situation just now.

Before, he thought Natalie was some shallow woman who only knew how to flirt with men and use them for personal gain.

And now, he finally realized he was utterly wrong about it.

Marcus looked down with a cold gaze. He should've figured it out long ago. As Elim, Natalie didn't even need to rely on a man to take revenge on the Langleys.

"Mr. Holden, Ms. Walker is so cool!"

Elijah was hiding behind the door. He had witnessed the whole process of Natalie confronting Ivan and Ruby.

He was so mesmerized by Natalie. The last time he felt this much admiration for a woman was back at Quinton Nursing Home—with Natalie as well.

"I didn't know Ms. Walker was such an influential figure, Mr. Holden."

Elijah gazed into the distance expectantly—everyone admired strength, and he was no different.

"She's the owner of Goodwill Pharmacy! Who in Dithoria dares to disrespect Goodwill Pharmacy anyway?"

Marcus gave him a look and left expressionlessly.

It was because of how Goodwill Pharmacy stood in Dithoria that everyone gave it due respect. Hence, the footage of denouncing Ruby caused such an uproar.

Sinclair Group's opponents had been watching them closely, wanting to dig up dirt on them. Thus, they would definitely take advantage of this incident.

As Marcus left, he took out his phone and tapped on a video. It was the denouncing video that had been posted on Goodwill Pharmacy's official account.

He downloaded the video before they deleted it.

After a few taps, Marcus sent the video to Sinclair Group's opponents. The others might be quick to act, but he was surely the quickest.

"To the Walker residence now."

"No problem, Mr. Holden."

…

Natalie arrived at the Walker residence at the same time as William and Charlotte.

Charlotte and William both looked confused, seeing how all the helpers were gathered.

"What's going on here?" Charlotte asked. She took a few steps forward, scanning the faces around her.

"What's the matter, Mason?"

Immediately, Mason explained everything to Charlotte and William, and their expressions darkened right away.

"Dad, Mom." Natalie stepped forward. "Something happened to Ms. Sinclair and Mr. Holden at our house. We owe them an explanation."

This was even more so, considering Sophia had lost her baby in the accident. However, Natalie couldn't bring it up openly.

"How badly is Sophia injured?"

The few victim's lives were the main concern for Charlotte. Everything else was just a minor issue as long as they were alive.

"It was quite severe."

Natalie eyed the helpers around her. Her gaze landed on Emma at last, who was standing in front of the couch.

Emma watched as Natalie spoke to William and Charlotte. She looked a bit pale, her gaze filling with sorrow.

Natalie stared at Emma for a while. Almost instantly, Emma lowered her head.

"I have a feeling that this isn't just about the horse going crazy," Natalie spoke emotionlessly. "Who's taking care of the horses? Come forward."

Among the group, one person hesitated but was nudged forward a few steps.

"What's your name?"

Emma's eyes welled up with tears instantly. She bit her lip, looking all frustrated and upset.

"That's not what I meant, Natalie," Emma said, her voice trembling a little. "It was just a random comment."

"You're better off keeping quiet then," Natalie responded indifferently. "I'm really going to find out who made that horse go crazy today."

"Yes, it needs to be investigated!" Mason slammed on the table heavily. "Just be quiet, Emma. Your words are meaningless anyway."

"Mason!"

Emma pursed her lips. She was going to complain about Mason, but the latter shot her a glare, obviously not caring about her.

"Emma," Charlotte voiced. "Since you're so protective of Gabriel, could you be involved in this incident?"

"No way!" Emma panicked in that instant. She stood up, tears rolling down her cheek. "Mom, I know I'm not your biological daughter, but don't you know me better than that? I'm upset, Mom."

Her voice quivered as she spoke. "Does anything I say automatically become wrong just because I'm not your real daughter?"

"Stop right there." Charlotte rubbed her temples lightly. "If you're going keep acting like this, you might as well leave the house for everyone else's sake!"

"I didn't mean it, Mom."

Emma instantly became anxious. She lunged forward and embraced Charlotte. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to dispute Natalie. I was just seeking attention. Please, Mom, don't ask me to move out. I don't want to leave you and Dad."

"Then stop crying," Charlotte commanded aloofly. "Don't act like whatever Nat does is always targeted at you."

"Okay, Mom," Emma answered as she lowered her head. She remained silent afterward.

"You may continue now, Nat," Charlotte said.

"Alright."

Natalie nodded and continued, "Gorge, I need Cindy's documents, as well as the information of everyone who works at the stable. Oh, and the surveillance at the stable as well. Go get me those."
