The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 201

Celeste moved her phone a little farther away. "What kind of love square is this?"

"See for yourself!" Her manager hung up the phone and immediately sent her a link.

Celeste clicked the link and saw photos of her and Shawn, Shawn with Natalie, her shaking hands with Walter, Natalie and Walter hugging, as well as Shawn smiling gently while holding an umbrella for Natalie.

The photos weren't in any particular order, and the main emphasis was that there were way too many images.

Although the photos were taken secretly, one had to admit that every angle was perfect; the photos turned out beautiful and eye-catching.

At a glance, the handsome men and pretty women looked like they belonged perfectly together.

"This is me and you. This is Natalie and you. This is you and Walter. This is Walter and me. This is Natalie and me," Celeste pointed out. She couldn't hold back her laughter.

"What are the paparazzi even writing about? Him with her, she with him, him with the other him, and she with her—a four-person cast putting on a grand and tragic play.

"Why doesn't this paparazzo try being a screenwriter? They certainly have the talent for it!"

Celeste was laughing uncontrollably. She paid no attention to the rumors about her being with different men and women.

"These photos are really beautiful, though. I'm going to download and save them properly," she said.

"After saving them, send me the ones of Nat and me," Shawn said hesitantly.

"Okay." Celeste smiled brightly. "But Shawn, don't say I didn't warn you. Nat has now acknowledged the Walkers as her family, and your boss is her older brother. If you want to pursue Nat, you'll have to get past Lincoln!"

"You'll help me, won't you?" Shawn added calmly, "After all, we're good friends, right?"

"How could I not help you? You have so much leverage over me!" Celeste responded with a playful chuckle. She downloaded and saved all the photos, sending the ones of Shawn and Natalie to him.

"That said, Shawn, I'm helping you because I know you've been deeply in love with Nat for years. I hope you give it a try so that you won't regret it for the rest of your life. Don't end up like me."

Shawn was silent for a while, then he reached out and gently hugged Celeste. "It'll get better."

"Yeah, I know. Everything will get better."

He comforted Celeste for a while more, and they continued walking forward.

…

Meanwhile, Walter took Natalie to a Helianese restaurant. After getting a private room on the second floor, Natalie called Celeste.

Fortunately, they had saved each other's contact before, or it would have been impossible to get in touch now.

Just as Natalie had finished her call with Celeste and sent her the location, she looked up and saw a familiar figure passing through the hallway.

Why was Marcus here?

At the next second, someone knocked on their room door three times, and Marcus, who had just walked past, turned back.

Standing at the door, he could clearly see the people inside the room. "Ms. Walker," he greeted.

Natalie nodded slightly. "Mr. Holden."

Marcus had previously investigated Natalie's background and knew who Walter was. He nodded briefly at Walter.

"Ms. Walker, are you hosting some friends here?" Marcus asked.

"Yes."

"Just mention my name when you pay, Ms. Walker."

"Although Mrs. Langley Senior's name is Grace, this time, I'll make sure she knows that there are plenty of things in life that require genuine grace."

"But why would Mrs. Langley Senior use Victor's phone to send me a message?" Walter suddenly asked.

"Because I've blocked them all." Natalie smiled. "Ever since I blocked the Langleys, I've been feeling much lighter.

"I don't need to care about those trivial matters anymore. I won't clean up after Victor. Whether Langley Group survives or falls has nothing to do with me.

"Walter, do you think I'm too heartless and ungrateful?"

Shaking his head, Walter replied, "No. If I were you, I'd make the same choice."

Walter's gaze was firm. No matter what Natalie did—right or wrong—he would always stand on her side.

Since he was a child, when Natalie held his hand and led him out of the orphanage, he silently swore that he would dedicate his life to her.

Grace had told him to study hard and learn everything he could. He obeyed because only then would he have a chance to stand by Natalie's side.

However, from the start, Grace had warned him not to harbor any improper thoughts toward Natalie.

Natalie was Tyler's fiancée, and the Langleys and Millers were supposed to have a marriage alliance.

Walter recalled the condescending gaze Grace had given him when she warned him as such. It was as if she was looking at a beast.

In fact, Grace had never shown him any respect. The only person who had ever respected him from beginning to end was Natalie.

"My parents are holding a welcome party for me in a week. In the meantime, I'll have my brother go to Amberton and retrieve all the photos of me when I was with the Langleys."

Natalie suddenly showed a mischievous smile and said, "Since Mrs. Langley Senior doesn't agree or allow me to be with you, let's go and piss her off."
