The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 175 I Demand Your Entire Family Apologize to My Daughter

Grace's furious shout echoed through the hotel lobby, her usual grace and poise replaced by raw emotion. "Shut it down, shut it down!" The lobby manager bellowed, and the massive screen on the stage promptly went black.

Natalie took a step forward. "Mrs. Langley Senior, please be mindful of your image."

"Minding your image" was the most frequently repeated lesson given to Natalie by Grace. When Natalie first joined the prestigious Langley Group, she faced targeted attacks from people who underestimated her due to her youth.

And every time Natalie wanted to retaliate, Grace would remind her to mind her image, emphasizing the importance of remaining calm and poised even in the most serious situations.

Grace stressed that Natalie must never allow others to see her looking embarrassed or disheveled. Even when Diana and Victor subjected her to physical and verbal abuse while she lived with the Langley family, Grace continued to drill it into her.

"Mind your image."

No matter how much they hurt her, Natalie shouldn't cry, argue, or scream out; she must maintain her composure. As her grandmother, Grace promised to seek justice for any mistreatment Natalie endured.

Natalie used to trust Grace completely and never questioned her actions. She believed that Grace loved her more than anyone else in the Langley family. How could someone who loves you so much ever do harm?

Grace had lived a full life, experiencing more than Natalie ever could imagine. She faced challenges and walked down paths that Natalie could only dream of. It was foolish for Natalie to doubt her own grandmother.

Even when there were questionable moments, Natalie pushed them aside and refused to dwell on them. She knew she could always trust Grace, no matter what happened.

Selena and Tyler had chosen this delicate moment to announce their engagement and had extended an invitation for her to attend. Natalie couldn't fathom what their intentions were.

But if Selena was trying to provoke her, she wouldn't hold back in her response. In fact, she had already decided to confront Grace during this visit.
