The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 540 Making Arrangements Before Death

Marcus held Natalie tightly, and both of them remained outside for a long time. When Marcus finally composed himself, returning to his usual indifferent expression, they finally entered the villa.

At that time, William and Charlotte had already arrived and were summoned into Charles' study.

The three sat opposite one another as Charles ordered Sheldon to bring out stacks of documents. Then, he placed a key in front of Charlotte.

"Charlotte, this is the key to my safe. It's a gift from me to Nat. These are the wedding gifts from the Holdens to the Walkers, and these are for Nat."

Charles placed the documents neatly before Charlotte and William.

"I never knew, nor did I imagine that someone from the Jenkins family was still alive. Not only that, she even orchestrated such an elaborate scheme, dragging so many innocent people into it. It's my fault. Because of me, Nat was taken away from you at birth."

Charles had no intention of hiding the truth from William and Charlotte, but he spared them certain details of the situation.

All he wanted was to help Marcus with arranging the wedding before he passed.

After all, Wesley and Laura had never truly raised Marcus. Furthermore, they even got divorced after he had grown up.

As Marcus' grandfather, Charles felt like it was his responsibility to handle this matter for Marcus while he was still alive.

"William, Charlotte, I have one more request." Charles' eyes reddened as he looked at them. "If I'm no longer around, if Marcus and Natalie ever get into a disagreement, please don't scold or punish Marcus.

"You both know that even though Marcus has parents, I was the one who raised him. I don't know how much longer I have left. Once I'm gone, he'll be all by himself."

"Mr. Holden Senior, don't say that." Charlotte couldn't bear to hear such words. "You'll live a long life. You'll be around to see Marcus and Natalie's child be born."

Charles shook his head bitterly. Feeling his strength fading, he knew he wouldn't last that long.
