The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 677

Chapter 677 Zachary's Question

After Natalie finished speaking, Lynette, Sue, and Ann exchanged glances. Then, all at once, they dropped to their knees in front of her.

"Ms. Natalie, thank you. Really... thank you so much," Lynette said.

"Don't say that. Go get ready. We're probably heading out this afternoon," Natalie said, quickly helping them back to their feet.

"We're about to grab something to eat. Want to come with us?" she added.

She and Marcus had just come back from foraging herbs in the mountains. They'd walked a lot, worked up a sweat, showered, changed clothes, and now they were starving.

The three girls nodded.

This place had no proper roads and no cars-wherever they needed to go anywhere, they had to walk.

When Natalie and her team had first come to build the school, they had hauled in most of the construction materials by mule. It had taken a ton of effort just to get Hope Elementary up and running.

The road out of the village was long and rough. They knew they'd need their strength for the journey, so there was no way they could leave without a good meal first.

Natalie and Marcus brought them to the school's cafeteria. There, Zachary and Sophia came over to join them.

"Mr. and Mrs. Holden, I just spoke with Sophia and got a better understanding of what's going on here. I have a question I'd like to ask Mrs. Holden," Zachary said as he led Sophia to sit across from them.

His expression turned serious as he continued, "The environment here is so harsh. The conditions are rough, and even the villagers aren't cooperative.

"Mrs. Holden, have you ever considered reaching out to higher authorities or government departments for help? I mean, wouldn't it be better to let official programs handle the poverty relief?"

"Zachary, we already know all that," Lynette suddenly said, raising her hand. "Ms. Natalie, can I explain?"
