The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 357

Natalie's tone was distant, and her eyes couldn't contain her feeling of disgust toward Julia.

Natalie couldn't help it. She had always hated homewreckers and scumbags. Not to mention, she was already on Sophia's side.

"Ms. Walker, that means you're willing to sell the medicine to me, right?" A grin appeared on Julia's face. "Thank you, Ms. Walker. Thank you very much."

"Did I say anything about selling the medicine to you?" Natalie smirked and added, "Since you praised me for being pretty and kind, I should thank you. Isn't that polite of me?"

Marcus couldn't help but chuckle, his gaze softening as he looked at Natalie.

When Julia heard Marcus' laughter, she felt humiliated. The smile on her face disappeared.

"Ms. Walker, if there's any misunderstanding between us, I sincerely apologize. Wendy, come over and apologize to Ms. Walker."

Julia felt humiliated, so she had to vent somewhere. She glared at Wendy. "If you hadn't spoken rudely and arrogantly that time, Ms. Walker wouldn't have been upset with us."

Wendy felt resentful, especially when she saw Samantha. If she had the chance, she would have lunged forward and ripped Samantha's face apart.

However, it was obvious that Julia wasn't in a good mood. Even though Wendy was Julia's aunt, she wouldn't dare defy her.

Reluctantly, Wendy stepped forward and apologized. "Ms. Walker, I'm sorry. Please sell the medicine to us. You're running the pharmacy as a business. Surely, you won't turn down money, right?"

"Oh? But I'm a part of the Walker family. I'm filthy rich. The pharmacy is just a fun little hobby," Natalie said casually. "What's wrong? Do you have a problem with that?"

"You—" Wendy put her hands on her waist and was about to fire back. But before she could speak, Samantha stood up and slapped her across the face.

Samantha's hand was shaking and her body was trembling, but she stood her ground.

"Julia, if you can't keep your people in line, I'll do it for you."

"Samantha Blair!" Julia's voice rose. But the next second, she started coughing non-stop.

Samantha quickly stepped back and said, "Get away from me. I don't want to catch whatever you have."

"Samantha, I'll kill you!"

Julia was coughing as she lunged forward.

Natalie noticed and quickly pulled Samantha away. Just as she was about to kick Julia away, Marcus pushed Elijah toward Julia.

Elijah reacted in time and discreetly bumped into Julia. After sending her stumbling, he grabbed a bottle of disinfectant from his pocket and began spraying all over his body.

"Noah, now that I've made contact with someone with Tuberculosis, do you think I'll get infected?" Elijah asked as he continued spraying himself.

Noah just kept quiet. It was fortunate that Julia didn't have Tuberculosis. Otherwise, Elijah really might have gotten infected.

After hitting Wendy, Samantha turned toward Natalie. "Ms. Walker, I'm sorry for getting you involved."

"Don't worry. This has nothing to do with you. I had issues with them long before this."

Natalie gave Samantha a gentle pat on the back of her hand and said, "Let's go see Sophia."

"Alright."

"I made her suffer, but there's nothing I could do for her. She always told me the good things and hid the pain herself. I've always thought that Ivan would treat her well."

Samantha covered her face with both hands, but her tears still flowed right through her fingers.

"It's my fault. I'm not a good mother. I failed her. If I couldn't take care of her, why did I give birth to her?"

Her cries grew even more heart-wrenching.

"If I didn't bring her to this world, she wouldn't have to suffer. I was irresponsible. I should be punished, not her."

"Ms. Blair, please don't say that." Natalie wasn't great at comforting others. She awkwardly wrapped her arms around Samantha and stared at Marcus for help.

Marcus stepped forward and said in a deep and steady tone, "Ms. Blair, the most important thing right now is for you to get back on your feet. You should reclaim everything that belonged to you and Sophia. I will join forces with Nat to take over Sinclair Group and give it to you and Sophia."

Natalie was dumbfounded. Was this Marcus' idea of comforting someone?

Marcus continued, "Ms. Blair, you're Sophia's mother. If you can't be her backbone, who else do you think can fill the role? Julia had trampled over you for many years. Even Ruby bullied Sophia for years. Don't you think you should seek justice for Sophia?"

"But… can I do that?" Samantha put down her hands. Her face was streaked with tears, and she was feeling uneasy. She had lost confidence in herself.

"I've been out of touch with society for a long time. I have lost all confidence. Furthermore, I have no money or resources. I have nothing."

"If that's the way you think of yourself, it's with regret that I tell you that Ivan might send Sophia to some elderly man's bed in exchange for benefits."

Marcus' tone was icy cold as he spoke. He added, "I've told you. I'll work with Nat to take over Sinclair Group and give it to you and Sophia. What's wrong? Do you not trust me? Or do you not trust Nat?"
