The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 502 Meeting Natalie for a Promise

Once Julie realized Natalie had turned against Grace, and after receiving Natalie's call urging her to testify, she no longer hesitated to come forward.

She had been placing all her bets on Natalie realizing the truth about Grace and refusing to stand against the Holdens for her.

And she was right.

Stepping out of the interrogation room, Julie spotted Walter and Natalie standing side by side, their eyes fixed on Grace through the glass.

On the other hand, Marcus stood close, his hand resting lightly on Natalie's waist —a silent yet unmistakable declaration of dominance and possession.

Julie walked up to the three of them and greeted them respectfully.

"I've told Grace everything I had to."

"Yeah, we saw everything." Natalie nodded slightly. "Well done, Ms. Lombard. We still require your full cooperation in the investigation. Please do your best to comply."

With a serious expression, Julie promised, "You have my word, Ms. Walker."

"Okay."

The officers escorted Julie to another room as the interrogation team entered to question Grace further.

"I'm only talking if Natalie is here," Grace declared. "Get her, and I'll tell you everything. Otherwise, don't expect a word from me."

After pondering for a moment, the officers nodded.

Natalie took in Grace's demand and gently patted Marcus' hand on her waist. "I'll go see her."

"I'll follow you."
