The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 130 Trading Shares for Guardianship

Natalie slightly frowned as Grace held her hand.

Hector had confirmed that Grace was physically healthy, having undergone a thorough check-up. As for her mental state, Grace was content, and everyone had agreed there was no need to push her to regain full cognitive abilities.

Natalie shared the same sentiment-knowing the truth about Victor and Diana's actions would only cause Grace more distress.

"No, I remember," Grace said, still holding Natalie tightly.

She still seemed a little fearful, but slowly, she calmed herself.

"Nattie, are you really with Marcus?" Grace asked.

"Yes," Natalie replied, offering a warm, practiced smile.

Her gaze softened slightly, radiating the joy of being in love. "Grandma, you don't need to worry anymore. The Langley family can't hurt me, and Selena and Tyler have no power over me."

"Nattie, does Marcus treat you well?" Grace asked.

The happy smile that had once graced her features had faded.

"Marcus treats me very well," Natalie assured her, spinning around in the white dress Marcus had bought for her.

Natalie had never worn skirts before. She usually stuck to black athletic wear or rugged outdoor jackets and cargo pants. The dark colors highlighted her pale, almost translucent skin. As a girl, she always felt like the somber attire made her seem distant and unapproachable.
