The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 176 A Complete Fallout

Charlotte's voice was firm and unyielding. The way she looked at Grace had completely changed. It was no longer filled with gratitude and respect but radiated undisguised disdain and hatred.

Grace stepped forward, her aging face alternated between pallor and a sickly green hue.

"Mrs. Walker, there seems to be some misunderstanding between us. Whatever it may be, today is my granddaughter's engagement party. She has fainted, so shouldn't we prioritize sending her to the hospital?"

Though Grace's complexion looked terrible, her tone remained calm, and her emotions were clearly under tight control.

"Victor, Diana, why are you two still standing there? Take Selena to the hospital."

"Yes, yes, we need to take Selena to the hospital!"

"There's no need for that," Hector said as he adjusted his glasses and stepped forward, each step deliberate.

"I'm a doctor myself. Mrs. Langley Senior's previous illness was treated at my private hospital, so you should trust my skills. If Ms. Langley's fainting isn't handled in time, it could become life-threatening. Mr. Langley, Mrs. Langley, please step aside. I'll take care of the emergency treatment."

As Hector spoke, Timothy and Mason also stepped forward. Lincoln, the award-winning actor and megastar, chose not to appear openly. Instead, he stood inconspicuously among the crowd, wearing a mask and cap, quietly observing the scene.

"Don't be afraid, Nat." Hector smiled warmly at Natalie. "You are no longer a child without a family to rely on."

Hector's words stunned Natalie. Her heart began to race uncontrollably. She had previously told Charlotte that she wanted to handle matters with the Langley family herself.

Charlotte had agreed at the time, yet here they all were. However, not everyone from the Walker family was present. For instance, Sky and Lincoln were absent.
