The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 138 Heartache and Revenge Part Two

Victor's words momentarily startled Charlotte and William, but William quickly let out a cold laugh.

"Don't make it sound so righteous. Who knows if the Langley family deliberately swapped our daughter all those years ago? You make it sound like Natalie's stay with you was a great privilege.

"I'll get to the bottom of what happened back then. If I find out the Langley family intentionally took her, you'd better be ready to pay the price!"

He pulled Natalie into his arms, gently patting her back. "Nat, don't let this scum manipulate you. I suspect the Langley family was involved in the swap from the start.

"And let's not forget—if you hadn't been switched, you would've been our cherished little princess, growing up carefree, healthy, and loved. Instead, you were treated as nothing more than a blood bank, with no regard for your feelings."

Natalie had to admit that there was a moment when Victor's words made a twisted sense to her.

But William's firm response quickly brought her back to clarity.

He was right. If she hadn't been switched, she wouldn't have ended up in the Langley family, and she certainly wouldn't have wanted to be Victor and Diana's daughter.

She had her own biological parents-she wasn't an orphan no one wanted.

"Nat, you owe the Langley family nothing. Don't let yourself feel guilty because they raised you. And that includes Mrs. Langley Senior as well." William's steady and robust voice echoed clearly, each word deliberate.

Natalie nodded. "I understand. Thank you, Father."

He gently patted her head. "Don't worry. With us here, we won't let anyone bully you again. As for Mrs. Langley Senior's car accident, it has nothing to do with you. We've already had Sky pull the surveillance footage. Mrs. Langley Senior ran out alone—it wasn't your fault."

"Father-"

"Shh." William raised a finger to her lips, silencing her. "I know you feel guilty, but it's not your burden to carry. Nat, never take responsibility for mistakes that aren't yours. Even if someone tries to manipulate you, you must stand firm and say no."
