The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 107 The Holdens Value Discipline

After Marcus spoke, Natalie stopped in her tracks. She turned around and stared at him with an icy, sharp gaze. "Marcus, did you say something nonsensical to Mr. Holden Senior?"

"What do you think I could have said?" Marcus retorted with a question instead of answering. His gaze locked onto Natalie's. "With these two obvious slap marks on my face, did you think my grandfather would not notice?"

Their gazes bore into each other, seemingly clashing in the air around them. It was as if they were fighting some kind of invisible battle, with imaginary sparks flying until one of them conceded.

The look in Natalie's eyes grew colder, as if it was encased in ice, while Marcus remained as calm as a still lake without a ripple in sight.

The surrounding temperature seemed to plummet. Passing staff members felt an inexplicable chill, and they cautiously glanced at the two before quickly withdrawing their gazes in fear.

It really felt like there was an invisible battle taking place. Though there were no real sparks, they could almost hear the sounds of swords clashing.

The staff got so frightened that they quickly fled far away.

Both of them continued their stare-off, neither willing to back down. That was until Connie ran out and pulled Natalie aside.

"Nath, why did you only just get here? Mr. Holden Senior has been waiting for you," she said.

Connie was also frightened, but she had no choice except to summon her courage to check if Natalie had returned. It was almost time for Charles' acupuncture session.

At that, Natalie withdrew her gaze. "Alright. Is everything ready?"

"Everything had been prepared."

Connie and Natalie left, leaving Marcus standing there for a moment. He then lowered his head and chuckled softly.

Just now, Natalie looked like a small leopard—angry yet extremely calm. She looked ready to seize an opportunity and rip his throat open.
