Chapter 36 Playing the Role of the Domineering President

Seeing that Charles was truly angry, Marcus quickly responded, “Grandpa, I’ll bring Ms. Walker here right away. Don’t worry. I won’t let the Langley family bully her.”

Charles‘ health wasn’t great as he had just suffered from an illness not long ago. Marcus was afraid that Charles might not be with him now if it weren’t for Natalie’s medicine and her stopping Jessy from giving him first aid.

He didn’t care about Natalie’s past issues with the Langley family, but he couldn’t tolerate being used by them as a tool for revenge or as a pawn in a wealthy marriage.

However, since she had saved Charles‘ life, Marcus, though reluctant, had to listen to his wishes. He would go pick her up.

‘Grandpa, don’t be angry. I’ll bring Ms. Walker over right now.” He gently patted Charles‘ back to calm him down, then instructed Ethan to stay with Charles before leaving the VIP suite.

As soon as he stepped into the hallway, he called Natalie, “Hello, Ms. Walker. My grandfather wants to see you. Would it be convenient for you to come and spend some time with him? If it’s convenient, I can come pick you up now.

“There’s no need for that. I’ll head over there right now,” Natalie said, her voice sounding cold and distant over the phone. “Connie has also prepared some medicine for Mr. Holden Senior to take before the surgery, so I’ll bring it with me.”

“No, Ms. Walker. Just stay where you are. I’ll come pick you up.” Marcus‘ voice was deep and magnetic. He spoke slightly faster than usual, and his voice carried a tone that brooked no refusal as he said, “Stay where you are.”

Natalie was speechless.

What was Marcus doing? Was he trying to sound like a domineering president?

“Ms. Walker, please understand that this is my grandfather’s order.”

Though he was domineering, there was an air of helplessness in his explanation.
