The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 172 Invitations from the Miller Family and the Langley Family

Natalie and Charlotte remained on the fifth floor for a while, watching as Grace's car disappeared from view.

Natalie then returned to the room that William and Charlotte had prepared for her. The entire floor belonged to her, a luxurious space with every detail carefully crafted to exude warmth and elegance.

It was a far cry from the lackluster accommodations provided by the Langley family during her previous stay. To top it off, Charlotte had even considered Natalie's relationship with Grace and reserved a designated area for her.

But now, as Natalie stood in the opulent room, she couldn't help but feel that this space would no longer hold any significance for her.

Suddenly, her phone rang. Natalie picked it up and saw that it was Marcus calling. She swiped her finger across the screen to answer the call.

"Hello, Mr. Holden. How are you?"

"Ms. Walker, I've come to pick you up and take you back to the Holden Residence. I'm at the main gate."

"Hmm?"

Natalie was taken aback. She made her way to the window and gazed out toward the main gate, where a black Rolls-Royce Ghost had suddenly appeared.

Marcus stepped out of the car as the door swung open. He held his phone in one hand and brushed off the security guard who approached him. He stood at the gate, not moving even when it was opened for him.

"Ms. Walker, you said only one of you or Mrs. Langley Senior could stay with the Holden family. Now that Mrs. Langley Senior has left, I'm here to take you back." Marcus's deep, magnetic voice kept reaching her ears.

Natalie snapped out of her daze, at a loss for words, before finally responding, "Sure, I'll come over right away. Mr. Holden, please give me a moment."

"Ms. Walker, there's no need to hurry. I can wait for you."

After ending the call, Natalie set down her phone.

At that moment, there was a gentle tapping at her door, and Charlotte's voice drifted in. "Nat, I brought you some milk. Are you ready for bed?"

"Not yet."
