The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 701

Sophia gently lifted the corner of her lips and glanced at Zachary. He was still watching her with encouraging eyes, so she let a smile spread across her face.

Sophia hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Walker, we can still be friends."

"Thank you," Sky replied, his eyes reddening slightly.

He lowered his gaze, trying to control his emotions. When he had come here, he hadn't dared to hope that Sophia would still be willing to treat him kindly.

He had thought that as soon as they met, she would slap him across the face, then berate and tell him to go to hell, calling him a beast unworthy of living in this world.

However, Sophia was so calm that it caught him off guard.

"Mr. Walker, since Sophia and I have chosen to have you released early, you can rest assured that any hatred we held against you has lessened," Zachary added.

Zachary could see what was going through Sky's mind, so he didn't hesitate to be blunt. "Sophia wants you to help her with something. Once you do, all the grudges and animosity between you two will be wiped clean."

Zachary could tell what was on Sky's mind, so he didn't hold back. "As for whether you'll be friends moving forward, that's hard to say. The future's uncertain, and things change at the drop of a hat. For now, Sophia is willing to just be regular friends with you."

Tears welled up in Sky's eyes as he looked up and nodded. "Thank you, Sophia, for giving me this chance."

Sophia took a sip of water and said, "When I was at the Walker residence, you were kind to me."

However, that kindness was nothing compared to the maliciousness Emma had shown her.

Still, Sophia couldn't forget that Sky had once shown her some kindness when she was upset.

Sophia wasn't as magnanimous as she appeared. She thought about how she had pretended to be Natalie and saved Marcus, yet Natalie had forgiven her so easily. Meanwhile, she had never shown any kindness toward Natalie.

Sky was Natalie's brother, and Natalie had never asked her to show him any mercy. But after giving it some thought, Sophia ultimately decided not to completely destroy him.

Even if she wanted to, she didn't have the power to do so.

It would be better to use Sky's sense of guilt to her advantage and make him a real friend.

Samuel had returned to Dithoria. Over the years, he had been a beneficiary of the Sinclair family and had his own business abroad.

Logically, if Samuel had any guilt or gratitude, he wouldn't compete with Sophia for Sinclair Group or utter such hurtful words.

Yet, Samuel not only refrained from that, but also directed various malicious and hurtful remarks at her.

After finishing her water, Sophia looked at Sky with a calm gaze. "I've mostly healed from the past. I hope we can be friends again."
