Chapter 47 Giving the Dress As A Show of Sympathy

After sending the gift, Marcus left with Elijah.

He only felt sympathy and pity for the young Natalie, whom the Langley family had mistreated. However, that wouldn’t change his view of her as a woman driven by vanity.

At least Natalie had Grace to protect her when she was young, so her life wasn’t too miserable. But that didn’t give her the right to use him as a tool for revenge.

“Mr. Holden, why did you give Ms. Walker a dress?” Elijah, who had been following along, asked innocently. “Did you hear that Mrs. Langley would hit Natalie whenever she wore a dress as a child, and now you feel sorry for her?”

Marcus fell silent. He didn’t pity Natalie. Even though she had a hard childhood, that didn’t change the fact that she was a woman who sought vanity and dreamed of entering a wealthy family.

“Sometimes, it’s better to keep your mouth shut,” he said coldly. “You can handle the Langley family issues yourself.”

“I’m sorry.” Elijah quickly apologized.

Although he had been harsh when speaking to Selena earlier, he was like a meek housewife in

front of Marcus.

Marcus ignored him and returned to the VIP suite where Charles was waiting.

Meanwhile, Natalie, holding Marcus‘ gift, got into a modified G–Wagon parked outside Quinton Hospital with Olivia.

After getting into the car, she handed the box to Olivia. “Open it and prepare a thank–you gift for Marcus.”

“Okay,” Olivia replied.

She drove while Olivia opened the box. Inside, there was a pearl white evening gown.

The fabric was smooth and soft, with a luxurious feel. Olivia lifted it and examined it. It was a classic design with white gloves to match. The skirt was draped elegantly, and the waist was embroidered with a small jasmine flower.
