The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 168 Who Do You Believe

Once the elevator doors closed, Charles landed a slap on Marcus' arm. "You brat, what's your problem? Do you have an issue with Grace?"

"Grandpa, what if I told you she once told Natalie to seduce me? She wanted her to marry into the Holden family and become my wife. Would you believe it?" Marcus asked seriously, lowering his voice.

"She even told Natalie that if she couldn't win me over, she should just force it or drug me, insisting she had to make me hers."

Charles was stunned. After a few moments, he finally spoke. "So what? You're a man. How does that hurt you?"

Marcus was at a loss. "Grandpa, don't you think Grace has a problem? When she told Natalie to do all that, I was still engaged to Emma," he reasoned with Charles.

"She knew I had a fiancée, yet she still pushed Natalie to go after me. Is that what a grandmother should be teaching her granddaughter? Elders are supposed to set an example, don't you agree?"

During their conversation, the elevator reached the second floor, and the doors slid open. Marcus led Charles out of the elevator. "We can talk in the study."

"In the study? Your room is fine," Charles retorted.

He disliked going to the study. In his younger days, he had spent too many hours there working. Now that he was retired, he had no desire to relive those memories of working around the clock.

"Alright."

They made their way to Marcus' bedroom. Marcus poured Charles a glass of plain water before sitting opposite him. "Grandpa, who do you believe? Me or her?"

"Of course I believe you!" Charles shot Marcus an exasperated look. "It's not like I'm blindly trusting Grace. You saw me pressing her to answer truthfully whether she deceived Natalie. But she keeps denying it. What can I do? I do like Natalie a lot. I can't bear seeing her unhappy.
