The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 194 Langley Group is in a Mess Without Her

Ophelia took one glance at the gown and could already imagine how stunning and elegant it would look on

someone.

But this gown-was it meant for Emma? It looked like it was designed with a "Flux Couture" theme in mind.

"Boss, is this for Emma?"

"Yeah, the 'Flux Couture' collection is missing three designs. I've handed them all over to you."

Natalie slung her small handbag over her shoulder and stood up. "There's only a week left until the Walkers' welcome party. This week, don't bother me with anything here. You handle it."

"Got it," Ophelia agreed quickly. She carefully put away the design sketches. Ophelia had to prepare soon since Charlotte was about to arrive, and she needed to make sure everything was ready to welcome her.

Natalie took the CEO's private elevator down to the lobby just as Charlotte arrived on the top floor using the regular one.

After missing Charlotte by moments, Natalie sent a message to Connie to check in on Charles' condition. He was doing much better under her care.

The last time she'd asked Marcus to take Charles to the hospital for a scan, the results had been shocking. The tumor had shrunk significantly, and the doctors were in disbelief. The tumor wasn't only smaller but showed signs of being absorbed into the body.

The attending doctors had bombarded Marcus with questions, desperate to know who was responsible for the miraculous treatment. But Marcus, of course, didn't say a word.

At this rate, Natalie estimated that her treatment plan would completely rid Charles of the tumor within three months. Once it was gone, she could leave the rest of his recovery to Connie and wouldn't need to stay at the Holden Residence anymore.

Leaving the Nouvelle Zara headquarters, Natalie got into her car and drove off. She had arranged to meet Walter Watson and discuss their plans for the business expansion in Dithoria State.
