The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 181 She Can't Stay?

Natalie's expression turned icy for a fleeting moment before she quickly returned to her usual calm and indifferent demeanor. Taking out her phone, she began scrolling through old photos of herself and Grace.

"I need to make a trip to the Langley residence. But I'm busy right now and can't go. Mason, since you're on break, could you help me with this?

"Oh, and remember, the Langley family is cunning and malicious. They've drugged me before. If you're going, take extra care and bring a few bodyguards."

Natalie sent several messages to Mason, detailing the items she needed to retrieve from the Langley residence.

She hadn't planned on taking them before because of Grace. Back then, she always thought Grace would eventually recover and return to the Langley residence. Leaving her things there, especially the photos, allowed her to look at them whenever she missed her. It gave her something to remember Natalie by.

More than that, it gave Natalie an excuse to visit the Langley family, to pick up her belongings and see Grace. But now, it seemed there was no need for any of that.

"Sure! No problem at all," Mason assured her, thumping her chest confidently. "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

"Nat, do you want to visit Timothy's club to unwind?" Timothy suggested, pulling out his phone and showing Natalie a photo album. "Look, these are some of the players at the club-fresh faces everywhere. If you like any of them, I will help you set it up."

Before Natalie could respond, Lincoln pushed Timothy aside. "Stop dragging Nat into trouble," he scolded. "She's still young. No need to rush into a relationship."

Natalie nodded in agreement. "Lincoln is right. I'm in no hurry to date right now."

She had too many other things to focus on. To her, romance was entirely optional.

"Here, for you," Timothy said, presenting a sleek, compact laptop to Natalie.

"Open it up. This is the laptop bag. These are the matching keyboard, mouse, mouse pad, and headphones."

Natalie opened the laptop. When it booted up, an animated caricature of herself appeared on the screen—a smaller version of Natalie with a large head, a small body, and a pink dress, twirling with red hydrangeas in her hands.
