The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 155 Distance Herself From Grace

Natalie stared at Marcus. His sharp features and bright eyes gave him an air of grace and nobility. When he smiled, the curve of his lips had a wicked yet captivating charm.

He was handsome, and his voice was just as enchanting. Its low, magnetic tone sounded like it belonged to a famous voice actor. Every word he spoke, and even the slightest smile, seemed to pull people in.

Grace was drawn to Marcus' handsome face and asked Natalie to get close to him. She hoped Natalie could marry into the Holden family and become Marcus' wife.

Natalie had not considered it too deeply in the past. She assumed Grace was just worried that she would not have support if she left the Langleys and would be bullied.

Yet, she had already found her birth parents. The Walker family was much more powerful than the Langleys. Nobody with common sense would dare to pick on her.

Still, Grace had insisted she try to attract Marcus and even said she should resort to drugging him if necessary.

Once a suspicion took root, it tended to grow on its own, eventually turning into something much bigger. That was exactly how Natalie felt now.

Grace had asked her to seduce Marcus and even drug him. Had she really learned this from a drama, or was there another motive behind it?

Natalie did not dare tell Marcus about it. She did not know how he would react.

"Ms. Walker, you're staring at me. Is there something on my face?" Marcus asked with a slight sideways glance.

He rested one hand casually on the steering wheel, a seemingly casual move that made Natalie's heart skip a beat. She felt as if he had seen right through her thoughts.

She steadied herself and stopped staring at him. It was impolite, but she could not help wanting to see if his words were genuine or just pretenses.

Marcus drove quietly, and Natalie didn't speak either. Looking out the window, she didn't know how much time had passed until they arrived at Holden Residence.
