The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 500 Langley Group Declares Bankruptcy

Natalie fixed her gaze on Hector, her calm and steady eyes making him feel a pang of guilt.

"Nat, I didn't mean..." Hector suddenly found himself at a loss for words. "Forget it, I support you. Whatever you want to do, go ahead. The family and I will always be your strongest support."

With that said, he took a deep breath.

Natalie's lips curved into a smile, her gratitude genuine. "Alright, thank you, Hector."

"Of course, Nat. We're family," Hector said with sincerity. "The Walker family has always been involved in charity, and this is something worth doing.

He added, "Also, I managed to extract some useful information from Grace's words. Whether or not that woman truly exists, one fact remains clear. Kenton owned a hospital, and all of you were switched at birth there. This raises a serious question. Could that hospital have been a center for child trafficking?

"Since Grace refuses to tell us the truth, we need to revisit Julie."

Natalie nodded. "That's exactly what I was thinking. I was on the phone with Mom, but I kept my eyes on your conversation. I can read lips. I understood most of what she said.

"I'll go pick up Marcus. You go meet Julie. If our suspicions are correct, then we need to ensure Selena is protected. And since this involves human trafficking, we must report it to the police. Hector, I need you to take care of that as well."

"Leave it to me." Hector's expression turned serious as he agreed without hesitation.

When the car arrived at the police department, Natalie handed over the notebook that Selena had given her. Hector took it with him to file the report.

As for Natalie, she had Yolanda drive her to pick up Marcus.

At Paramount Hospital, Grace slowly regained consciousness. Her vision blurred with the stark whiteness of the room as she stared blankly at the ceiling, gradually regaining awareness.
