The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 242 A Car Accident on the Walker Family's Estate

Marcus stood before Natalie, holding out a box. His expression remained calm, but she merely stared at him with a cold, indifferent gaze.

Emma hid behind a pillar on the second-floor balcony, biting her lip as she glared at the scene below. So, Marcus had called off their engagement because Natalie had gotten involved with him.

Natalie, that wretched woman! Ever since she came home, she had stolen away the love and affection of their parents, as well as that of Lincoln and Hector. And now, even Marcus was giving her gifts.

Yet, despite his gestures, Natalie remained indifferent, treating Marcus with a cold and distant attitude.

Marcus, who was a man of such pride, had never been disregarded like this before.

Emma was so furious that her face had turned pale.

Downstairs, Natalie suddenly turned her head sharply, her gaze darting toward the second floor.

Startled, Emma quickly ducked back into hiding, her heart pounding with fear at the thought of being caught.

"Ms. Walker, could you please take this? Thank you." Marcus stepped forward and practically placed the box directly into Natalie's arms.

Natalie was speechless at his action. "Mr. Holden, are you sure this is from your grandfather?"

Marcus responded calmly, "You can call and ask him yourself."

"Alright." Natalie reached out to accept the heavy box. She had no idea what was inside but still said, "Please extend my gratitude to Mr. Holden Senior. I will personally thank him another day."

"Alright."

"Goodbye, Ms. Walker."

Marcus turned and got into the car. Only after the car window was rolled up did Sophia quietly ask, "Marcus, why did you lie to Natalie? That gift wasn't from Mr. Holden Senior."

Marcus checked the time on his watch and replied indifferently, "If she knew it was from me, she wouldn't have accepted it."

"Aren't you afraid she'll ask Mr. Holden Senior about it?"

"No. He won't expose the truth." In fact, Charles might even go along with the lie.

Sophia hesitated to say more, but ultimately, it wasn't her place to comment on someone else's feelings.

As the car slowly drove out of the Walker family estate and neared the main gate, a horse suddenly charged out from the lawn, galloping wildly straight forward Marcus' car.

"Watch out!" the driver shouted, hastily turning the wheel to evade the impact. But in that instant, the horse crashed violently into the vehicle.

With a loud bang, the car lost control and slammed into the security post at the gate.
