The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 28 How Can They Not Worry When They Care So Much?

Selena and Diana followed Olivia closely. After the plane landed in Balford, Olivia exited the airport and quickly headed toward a black G–Wagon. Natalie was waiting by the car, a warm smile on her face as she watched Olivia approach.

Olivia’s eyes welled up with tears. She rushed over, hugged Natalie tightly, and then gave her two hard punches on her back.

“You idiot, Natalie! Why didn’t you tell me about any of this?” Olivia’s voice wavered with a mix of frustration and blame. “Do you know how shocked everyone was when that so–called real Langley heiress, Selena, caused a scene at the company?”

Emotion overwhelmed Olivia. She hadn’t been there when Natalie was kicked out of the Langley family, leaving her completely alone. Grace, the only one in the Langley family who genuinely cared for Natalie, was now in a sanatorium. Natalie had been left vulnerable and bullied by others.

“I’m fine now,” Natalie said softly, gently patting Olivia’s shoulder. “Look, I’m doing just fine.

frowned, concern etched on her face. “Selena stirred up trouble at the company,

accusing you of being dishonest,” Olivia continued.

“She claimed that you know you’re not a real Langley, yet you refuse to give up the Langley Group shares that rightfully belong to her. The company doesn’t want to offend the Langleys, so the boss is suggesting you resign on your own,” Olivia added.

Olivia and Natalie held each other for a moment before pulling apart. In her rush to get there, Olivia hadn’t brought any luggage with her.

Natalie opened the car door, helped Olivia in, and then slid into the driver’s seat. She started the car and drove away from Balford Airport.

“Natalie, what are you going to do about this?” olivia asked.

Natalie’s expression remained calm. “The Langley Group shares were a wedding gift from Grandma,” she replied softly. “She made me swear I’d never let them fall into the hands of the Langleys.”

“I promised her,” she added.

Olivia felt a huge weight lift off her chest after Natalie promised not to return the shares to the Langleys. After all these years, as Natalie’s closest confidante, Olivia knew better than anyone what she’d endured in that family.
