The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 167 Demanding Grace to Leave

While Natalie enjoyed a harmonious and joyful time with the Walker family, the atmosphere at Holden Residence was far from pleasant.

Marcus entered the living room expressionlessly. Charles was comforting Grace, who was weeping in distress.

"Grace, Natalie has always been sensible. She's been so worried about you. If she asked you such questions, she must have had a reason. Tell me the truth. Did you do something to harm her?
