The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 543

Chapter 543 Charles' Passing

Sheldon let out a terrified scream. His legs gave out, and he collapsed to his knees.

William rushed inside. The moment he saw the scene before him, he froze in

shock.

"Someone help! Hurry! Hector, Nat, come quickly!" William shouted.

At that moment, Natalie and Marcus were on the fifth floor. She thought she heard someone calling her name, but the sound was fleeting and quickly faded.

Hector hadn't gone far. The moment he heard William's urgent cry, he sprinted toward the study.

"Hector, save Mr. Holden Senior. Quickly, Sheldon, call Marcus right now," William commanded without hesitation. His voice was swift and steady.

"Yes, yes," Sheldon stammered. He was too shaken to think. All he could do was follow orders.

His hands trembled as he fumbled with his phone. It took him several attempts to press the right buttons. When he finally got through, the moment he heard Marcus' voice, he broke down in sobs.

"Mr. Marcus, come to the study right away. Mr. Holden Senior, he..."

He couldn't finish the sentence.

The call abruptly ended.

On the fifth floor, Marcus grabbed Natalie's hand and bolted from the room.

He couldn't wait for the elevator and instead took the stairs, racing down with Natalie following closely behind. She didn't ask any questions, keeping pace with him the entire way.

When they arrived at the study, Hector had already finished performing emergency treatment. But it was too late.

Natalie immediately recognized it as the moment of lucidity before death. His final burst of life.

Marcus rushed to Charles' side. His eyes were bloodshot, and tears streamed silently down his cheeks.
