The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 33 Unfilial and Ungrateful

Natalie redialed the number. The phone rang three times before Victor answered.

“Hello, Mr. Langley. I’m not sure why you’ve called, but I assume that you have something to discuss,” she said coldly.

Victor’s tone was stern and impatient as he said, “Your grandma is very ill. You’d better come back now, or I can’t guarantee that you’ll get to see her one last time.”

Without waiting for Natalie to respond, he ended the call.

Diana had warned Victor that Natalie was overly suspicious and always cautious. If she asked too many questions, Victor might slip up.

So, the best way to handle things was to deliver the message and then hang up quickly, pretending to be irritated and dismissive. That way, Natalie wouldn’t suspect anything.

Natalie held her phone tightly after Victor ended the call, her brows furrowing in concern. She immediately dialed Grace’s number, but it went unanswered.

A wave of anxiety washed over Natalie. Ever since Grace’s mental faculties had declined, she had kept her phone close at all times–even taking it with her to the bathroom and shower in a waterproof case.

Grace had always immediately answered Natalie’s calls. Feeling worried, Natalie stood up and then took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. She reminded herself not to panic, worry often led to confusion.

“Hello, boss.”

“Where’s my grandma?”

“Mrs. Langley Senior is in the garden playing games with the others.”

Even after hearing this, Natalie didn’t fully relax. Her voice was cold and authoritative as she said, “I’m going to video call you right now. You need to answer immediately.”

“Yes, boss.”
