The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 333 Bloodstained Bedsheet

Lincoln, Hector, and Timothy had gone to find Sky while Mason stayed behind. Natalie called Marcus, asking him to turn the car around and pick her up.

Marcus didn't ask why he simply instructed the driver to turn back.

"Nat," Mason called out.

"Mason, don't ask me about Sophia. She'll tell you if she wants to talk about it," Natalie interrupted Mason.

He hesitated for a moment but ultimately didn't press further. "Nat, how do you know I was going to ask about Sophia?"

He made small talk to break the silence. "Besides, what's going on between you and Marcus? I just want to make sure you're okay. I don't want you to be deceived or hurt by him.

"You're still young, and there are things you don't understand. Marcus is a good person, but he broke off your engagement before-that alone makes me feel like he didn't respect you."

Mason rubbed his head. "If I said something wrong, don't take it to heart. And don't be mad at me, alright?"

"I won't. I know you're just looking out for me." Natalie smiled as she packed up her backpack. "Come on. Let's wait for Marcus outside."

"By the way, Nat, Dad and Mom have been watching you. They're worried you'll be bullied and won't tell them anything."

"I know." Natalie's lips curled into a smile. "Didn't I call Mom when things happened at Goodwill Pharmacy? She stood up for me and had my back."

"I know. I also know that Ivan insulted Dad, called you an illegitimate child, and even said that the rest of us were Mom's illegitimate children too. And then, you had someone beat him up."

Speaking of this, Mason couldn't hide his anger. "Ivan is disgusting. Just because he cheats and keeps mistresses, he thinks everyone else is like him. Even if you hadn't dealt with him, Dad would have."

Natalie nodded. "Exactly. He insulted Dad and Mom-I couldn't just let that slide. But it's in the past now. It doesn't matter anymore."

Ivan humiliated William and Charlotte, and Natalie retaliated by beating him. That settled the matter.
