The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 112 Inevitably Entangled

Perhaps it was the piercingly cold and sharp look in Marcus' eyes, but Natalie felt an immediate sense of discomfort. She glanced up questioningly, but Marcus turned and walked away without a word before she could say anything.

Natalie frowned slightly. She could not help but think this man was so unpredictable, as if he was battling some kind of internal storm.

"Mr. Langley, Mr. Holden Senior asked me to give you this card," Sheldon said, stepping forward and placing a sleek black card on the table.

He continued, "There's no PIN, and it's linked to Marcus' account. All your expenses in Dithoria State can be charged to it."

Natalie replied politely, "Thank you, but that won't be necessary. I have my own money, and I don't really have anything I need to buy."

"Please take it, Mr. Langley," Sheldon insisted with a pleading look. "If you don't, I'll be in big trouble. Mr. Holden Senior made it very clear that if you refused, my career as his butler might come to an end.

"Have pity on me—I've been with Mr. Holden Senior since I was young. I don't want to face unemployment at my age. If you really don't want it, you can return it to Mr. Holden or Mr. Holden Senior yourself."

Without waiting for Natalie's response, Sheldon turned and practically sprinted out of the room. His surprising speed belying his age.

Natalie sighed and looked at the card. She decided to accept it for now and planned to return it to Marcus as soon as possible. After finishing her breakfast, she headed back to her room and called Yvonne Langley, Victor's assistant.

Yvonne was a distant relative from Grace's side of the family and technically Victor's distant cousin. She was about the same age as Diana but never acted superior around Natalie.
