The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 139

Charlotte slapped Victor's family of three with increasing ease.

It wasn't her fault—they were always shameless enough to stick their faces out for her to hit.

Reeling from the slap, Selena tried to lunge at Charlotte in retaliation. Before she could act, Natalie stepped forward swiftly, grabbing Selena's wrist.

The next moment, Natalie raised her other hand and delivered a hard slap to Selena's face.

"Selena, do you really think I'll keep tolerating you and your family?" Natalie said coldly. "Stop pretending to be the picture of familial love. You and I both know why Grandma is in a nursing home instead of living with your family.

"You think Grandma doesn't know how you've treated her? Just because she's injured and mentally impaired, you assume she can't tell right from wrong? You want me to repay this life to Diana? Is she even worthy?"

Natalie's expression was as icy as her tone. Any traces of guilt, hesitation, or insecurity she had earlier were gone. She no longer felt warm toward the Langley family.

"Selena, you've repeatedly tried to take what's mine. What's the problem now? I've left your precious Langley family as you wanted, but seeing me thrive-my parents wealthier than yours, and me with several protective brothers-fuels your resentment, doesn't it?"

"Natalie! Grandma won't forgive you for treating us like this!" Selena shouted, glaring at her. Natalie wanted to hit back but didn't dare move as Mason and Timothy flanked her on either side. She knew full well they wouldn't hesitate to step in.

Frustrated, Selena resorted to venomous words. "Grandma will never forgive you!"

Natalie let out a cold laugh. "Whether Grandma forgives me or not has nothing to do with you. We're dealing with the debt between me, Victor, and Diana.

"Hector, I remember every single time Diana drained my blood. I'll give you the details when we get back. And as for Victor, while he acted nice to me on the surface, he secretly showed my photos to his business partners, trying to trade me for deals."

Natalie's words were deliberate, each one like a knife. Victor thought he had hidden his actions well, but she had known all along. The deals Victor failed to secure were ones Natalie had quietly resolved alone.
