The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 146

Natalie heard Victor's words and felt that it sounded extremely ironic. The corners of her lips curled into a sarcastic smile.

Though she laughed softly, it seemed very contemptuous.

Meanwhile, Victor felt a little uneasy after hearing the laughter. He evaded her gaze nervously.

"Mr. Langley Senior, you're trying to take care of Grandma now, huh?"

She stared at him sharply. "When she lived in the nursing home, why didn't you visit her with your family? When Grandma was working hard for Langley Group, why didn't you share the burden with her?"

"Natalie, you have no right to criticize me. You kept disappearing sporadically during these few years. Weren't you trying to avoid taking care of her? I thought you said that Mrs. Langley Senior cared for you the most, and that you'd take care of her forever."

Since Victor's true intentions were revealed, he felt humiliated. As such, he changed the topic and shifted the blame toward her.

"Can you always protect her all the time? She kept helping you; did you think we didn't know that you kept taking her money and went missing from time to time?

"During your absence, you were going off on your own to enjoy yourself. Did you think we didn't know about that? Do you dare to tell us where you went back then?"

Victor continued, "Even though our family used you for your blood, you didn't let us draw blood from you all the time, right? You kept fighting back and avoiding responsibility."

Before he could finish speaking, Charlotte angrily gave him a loud slap.

"You're a monster!" she roared. "How dare you point fingers at my daughter?"

Meanwhile, Natalie smirked coldly after hearing what Victor said. Why did she have to tell the Langleys where she went?

She even kept that a secret from Grace.

However, she always managed her time well. Without Milan's help, all her blood would have been drained.

From the start, he told her not to let anyone know that Natalie was learning medicine from him—she couldn't even tell her immediate family.

When Natalie asked why, Milan smiled mysteriously and told her she would know the reason soon enough.

Later on, she realized what Milan meant.

After he taught her all his skills, he gave her his entire career and connections. Then, he started traveling the world.

He became extremely elusive; it was difficult for Natalie to even meet up with him.

However, he often sent her pictures and videos of his travels. He shared the beautiful scenery he saw and the fun places he visited with her.

Natalie remembered Milan's words, so she didn't let anyone, including Grace, find out that she was Elim.

In the past, Victor didn't care about her, but at that moment, he finally brought up the issue of her disappearance.

Natalie didn't care about them anymore. Even without her intervention, Charlotte and William would still deal with the Langleys.

"You don't have to wait for Grandma's permission, Mr. Langley."

Natalie then called someone. "Hello, Mr. Watson? Please prepare the equity transfer agreement and deliver it quickly to Dithoria."

"Alright, Ms. Natalie."

At first, she didn't understand why Milan told her not to tell others that she was Elim. After thinking about it, she guessed that he knew everything from the start.

So, no matter what Victor did after this, Natalie would ignore him. She paid no mind to the Langleys and waited for Walter to arrive.

Time passed, and soon, it was time to treat Charles. Natalie made up an excuse to leave.

She didn't meet Grace again because she didn't know how to react when she saw the latter once more.

…

At the same time, Marcus brought Charles to Statenfield Hospital for a checkup.

When Rayden saw the results of Charles' X-ray, he was stunned. "Mr. Holden, Mr. Holden Senior's tumor became smaller, and the shadow around his heart has decreased. Though he hasn't fully recovered, he's definitely improved from the previous time. Was he treated by a miracle doctor?"

Rayden was very excited. Back when Charles had his first X-ray, he and Dithoria's best doctor had treated him. However, since the position of the tumor was deadly, they didn't dare to perform surgery.

Charles was recovering without surgery. This made him simply overjoyed.

"It's Dr. Elim. His condition is improving, right?" Marcus asked calmly.

"Dr. Elim?" Rayden was stunned. He felt that everything made sense. "I won't question it if Dr. Elim helped him."

He remained flabbergasted nontheless. After all, Elim was a miracle doctor with a 100% success rate.

However, this was his first time seeing Charles recover without surgery.
