The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 180 When Did Marcus Leave?

At Charlotte's command, the extras originally hired by the Langley family to stage a drama turned on Diana and Selena, delivering a relentless beating.

Diana dared not retaliate. Even if she had the courage, dealing with these extras was no small task. Their behavior during the event made it clear to Charlotte that they were avid gossipers who loved to spread news, whether it was good or bad, as far as possible.

The Langley family had a habit of portraying themselves as victims, constantly acting as though the world owed them.

Selena was the worst of all, a rabid dog who pinned every misfortune on Natalie. People like her never admitted their faults or felt any remorse.

Natalie stood calmly as Hector carefully applied medicine to her reddened palms. At the same time, Mason gently blew on her hands, trying to ease her discomfort.

William remained silent, but his icy gaze toward Diana and Selena made it clear that he had already decided their fate in his mind.

Although Natalie had not spent much time with her family, she was certain of one thing, the most decisive and ruthless person in the Walker family was William.

While Charlotte was the head of the household, William was the one who executed difficult decisions with quiet efficiency. Yet, because of his deep love for his wife, he often portrayed himself as someone submissive and even dependent on her.

"Nat, let Mason take you home first, alright? Hector still has work to do here as a doctor," William said gently, his voice warm with fatherly affection.

"Alright," Natalie agreed. Her gaze drifted toward the corner of the hall where Marcus had earlier pulled Tyler aside.

That spot held only Tyler. Marcus was nowhere to be seen.
