The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 173

On August 3rd, at 2:00 pm at the Dithoria Four Seasons Hotel, Marcus and Natalie arrived on time for the event.

Grace was elegantly dressed in a dark green dress with her hair styled in a neat bun and adorned with pearl earrings. She had applied makeup suitable for her age. Victor and Diana were by her side, welcoming the guests as they entered the engagement banquet hall.

Natalie exuded elegance in her white, figure-hugging, cocktail dress and light-colored heels. Her naturally curly hair was carefully styled and cascaded over her shoulders.

She had a subtle, nude makeup look that enhanced her already flawless complexion. Her almond-shaped eyes were adorned with long, thick lashes that fluttered when she glanced at people, giving off a sense of gentle warmth.

Despite standing next to the incredibly handsome Marcus, Natalie wasn't overshadowed. With her delicate features, refined facial structure, and slim physique, they made a visually stunning couple—he with his good looks and she with her beauty.

Everywhere they went, they turned heads and captured attention.

As Natalie and Marcus stood nearby, Selena and Tyler paled in comparison. Natalie's hand rested gently on Marcus's arm, exuding elegance and grace.

When Selena caught sight of them, it was impossible to hide the jealousy and malice in her eyes. Even Tyler was taken aback. He had never seen Natalie so impeccably dressed before. She outshone any female celebrity he had ever laid eyes on.

In the past, Natalie always wore a simple black windbreaker and sportswear, with her hair tied up in a casual bun. She rarely wore makeup and often donned thick-rimmed black glasses.

Even at formal events hosted by the prestigious Langley family, Tyler had never seen her in anything other than her usual attire. But here she was, breaking off their engagement and standing beside another man, radiating beauty and charm.

At that moment, Tyler deeply regretted agreeing to end their relationship simply because she wasn't born into the Langley family.

When Selena noticed Tyler was distracted, she nearly gritted her teeth in anger. She forced a smile, took his hand, and dug her fingernails into his flesh as if to remind him of their engagement.

Tyler winced in pain, and his eyes instinctively wandered toward Selena.

She flashed him a sweet smile and said, "Ty, Natalie is here. Shouldn't we go say hi?"

Tyler quickly regained his composure and gave a small nod. "Yes, we should."

Hand in hand, they made their way over to Marcus and Natalie.

With her signature smile still in place, Selena kindly addressed them, "Natalie, Mr. Holden, thank you for joining us at our engagement party. I was afraid you wouldn't come after everything that happened.

Turning toward Tyler, she continued, "Ty, since you were once engaged to Natalie, why don't you greet her?"

Selena's words cast a shadow over Tyler's face. It was their engagement party, so why bring up Natalie?
