The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 330 Even More Determined to Go

Natalie clicked on the images of Scarlet Hill. Vast fields of scarlet poppies stretched out before her, their fiery red petals dazzling and captivating.

Tourists swarmed the area, capturing the breathtaking scenery with their cameras. The atmosphere was lively and bustling.

Marcus' biological parents weren't permanent residents of Scarlet Hill. It was just that when she had asked for information, their location had been traced there.

Coincidentally, she also needed to go to Amberton to investigate the whereabouts of Emma's biological parents. While she was there, she could visit Scarlet Hill to see if she could find Wesley and Laura.

After all, Laura and Charlotte had been close friends. Since Natalie bore such a striking resemblance to Charlotte, Laura would likely recognize her without any introduction.

Natalie tucked her phone away and turned to head back to the study when another notification chimed. She swiped her finger across the screen and opened

the message.

The sender was the same string of zeros, and the message contained only a single photo. In it, she was sitting across from Marcus, deeply focused on her drawing.

Natalie's heart skipped a beat. She glanced around, but the surroundings were eerily quiet, with no sign of anyone nearby.

She then looked toward the study, where the security cameras were clearly visible. However, this photo wasn't taken from a security feed. The angle and clarity suggested it came from a high-end professional camera.

Code Zero was like a ghost, appearing out of nowhere just when she was about to forget about them.

Natalie quickly tapped out a response. "Who the hell are you? Why are you watching me?"

Code Zero replied almost instantly, "I'm a friend."

Natalie frowned. What kind of friend lurked in the shadows, constantly monitoring someone?

She fired back, "You're not watching me in the shower or the bathroom, are you?" Code Zero replied, "I'm not that much of a creep."

Then another message followed. "Do not go to Scarlet Hill. Don't look for Wesley and Laura. Remember this."

Natalie's frown deepened. She had just received the information about Wesley and Laura's location, and now Code Zero was warning her not to go. She wondered who this person was and what their motive was for keeping such a close eye on her.

"Nat," Marcus interrupted.

Natalie quickly composed herself, deleting the messages. Now wasn't the time to trace Code Zero's location.
