The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 577 Turn Around, Head to City Hall

Natalie's fingers slid into Marcus' hair, and the moment her fingertips brushed against his scalp, a sharp jolt ran through his entire body.

He sucked in a breath, every nerve on edge, his skin practically tingling.

Noticing his reaction, Natalie chuckled. She hadn't expected him to be that sensitive there.

"What's wrong?" She leaned in, her voice soft with amusement. "Marcus, you're a little tense."

The next second, he suddenly tightened his grip around her and turned the table with an aggressive counterattack.

"Mmph-"

This time, Natalie was the one left breathless.

"Turn around. Head to City Hall." Marcus ordered in between kisses.

"Yes, Mr. Holden," the driver responded respectfully before making a U-turn, heading back the way they came.

In the car behind them, Mason and Olivia watched in confusion as the vehicle suddenly changed direction.

Mason frowned. "What's going on? Why'd they turn around all of a sudden?"

Olivia shrugged. "Probably forgot something. Or maybe they need to buy something."

"Should we follow them?"

"Nah." Olivia glanced at her phone. "Let's just head straight to the lake and wait. It's not like we're going into battle. Why do we need so many people?"

Then, as if struck by a thought, she asked, "Mason, if we were going into battle, would you protect me?"

"Of course!" Marcus answered without hesitation.

Olivia narrowed her eyes. "Okay, but if Nat and I both got captured, and you could only save one of us, who would you save first?"

Mason was stunned.

What kind of demonic question was this? Olivia was really not being cute right

He took a long moment to think before cautiously asking, "Do I have to answer?" Olivia nodded firmly. "Yes, you do."
