The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 118 The Langleys Accuse Her of Kidnapping

After Victor's angry tirade, the meeting room fell into a silence so deep you could hear a pin drop.

On her end of the video call, Natalie sat quietly, her expression calm as she watched Victor's face twist with rage.

At one point, Victor still cared about the years they had spent as father and daughter. When he forced her to leave the Langley family, he'd even given her 200 thousand dollars.

The 200 thousand dollars might have been a drop in the bucket for the Langleys, but for many ordinary families, it was more than they could earn in a year.

Back then, Victor had probably felt some lingering guilt or pity toward her. But in such a short time, everything had changed. Victor had become just like Diana and Selena, cold and calculating.

It was true what people said, nothing changed faster than the human heart.

Selena, meanwhile, didn't even need to lift a finger. With Victor taking the lead in attacking Natalie, all she had to do was sit back and watch.

She sat in her chair with perfect posture, her demeanor calm and poised. An air of superiority radiated from her as she gazed at Natalie, her expression filled with undisguised disgust and contempt.

With that condescending attitude of hers, it was as if she genuinely believed she was the rightful chairwoman of Langley Group and Grace's most beloved granddaughter.

"Mr. Langley, have you finished?"

Natalie's voice cut through the tension in the room, calm and unwavering.

She ignored Selena entirely, her gaze cold and indifferent, exuding an invisible sense of authority and an icy pressure that silenced the room.

"If you're done, it's my turn to speak now. As the head of the project department, when exactly was I removed from my position without my knowledge?

"Ms. Langley barges into my department, harrasses my team, and causes us to lose projects we had already secured. And you, Mr. Langley, just turn a blind eye?

"As the largest shareholder of Langley Group, don't you think you should at least inform me before making major decisions?
