The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 534 Wrong, All Wrong

"Grandpa Charles, are you alright?" Natalie immediately sensed something was wrong and stepped forward to pat his back, telling him to relax.

Hector quickly stepped close to check Charles' pulse as well. "Sheldon, the medicine."

Sheldon quickly took out the medicine Natalie had provided earlier, poured out a pill, and handed it to Hector.

"Water."

Sheldon turned to fetch a cup of water.

Hector couldn't help but frown. He wondered what was wrong with Sheldon.

The butler was usually observant. But even after noticing Charles' condition, he only reacted after being instructed at every step.

Soon, Sheldon returned with a cup of water. Marcus stepped forward and said, "Sheldon, you can leave now."

"Mr. Marcus, I—"

"I know you're in shock as well, so go take a moment to gather yourself," Marcus cut him off. After listening to the recording, not only was Charles shaken, but Sheldon was clearly affected too. His mind was sluggish, causing a delay in his reactions.

"Alright, Mr. Marcus." Sheldon turned to leave. He was moving so awkwardly that he nearly tripped on air.

Once Sheldon had left, Charles swallowed the pill, and his breathing finally steadied. His gaze shifted toward Yvette, who sat across from him. His eyes gradually turned bloodshot.

Yvette smirked mockingly as she listened to the entire recording of her conversation with Hector. After that, her expression remained indifferent.

"Yvette, why?" Charles took a deep breath as he asked, "Vivian is already dead. Why would you say such things to tarnish her name?

"You even claim that Cassie isn't my daughter. That's impossible. Your sister and I loved each other. We had a happy family.

"There was no way she would have betrayed me. Yvette, how could you slander Vivian like that? She's your sister!" Charles shouted at the end of his rant.

Yvette replied coldly, "Charles, if you think I'm slandering her, why don't you do a paternity test with Cassie?
