The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 411

Sophia's words left Sky momentarily stunned.

"Sky, the reason you treat Emma so well—isn't it because you like her?" Sophia continued, "I used to find you disgusting, being in love with your own sister. But now that you know she isn't your biological sister, do you regret not pursuing her sooner?"

Sky snapped out of his daze, and his expression darkened instantly.

"Sophia, I have never had romantic feelings for Emma."

"Really?" Sophia sneered. "Sky, do you even believe in yourself? Oh, by the way, let me tell you a little secret."

She stood up, leaned in close, and whispered something in his ear. Then, straightening up, she looked down at him from above.

"Sky, enjoy your stay here." Sophia smiled mysteriously. "I'll be coming to see you regularly."

Sky remained silent, but his clenched fist on the table slowly tightened.

"Mr. Holt, I'd like to speak with you alone."

Before Zachary and Sophia could leave, Sky spoke again.

"Apologies, but I have nothing to discuss with you, Mr. Walker," Zachary politely declined. "Mr. Walker, we'll be taking our leave."

"It won't take long, Mr. Holt," Sky insisted. "And what I have to say is important."

"Zachary, go ahead and speak with him," Sophia interjected. "I'll wait outside."

She winked at Zachary, curious about what Sky considered so important.

Zachary hesitated for a moment before ruffling Sophia's hair. "Alright. Since you asked, I'll hear him out."

"Okay."

Sophia stepped out, and Zachary took her seat, his gaze calm as he looked at Sky.

"Mr. Walker, say what you need to say."

"There are quite a few photos and videos of Sophia stored in Emma's and Shane's computers."

Sky took a deep breath before continuing, "Emma was scared, so she told me about them before. While being held, Emma suffered physical abuse from her cellmates and had a rough time. She's desperate to see Sophia, but I heard Sophia refuses to meet her."

"It seems Mr. and Mrs. Walker haven't completely abandoned you as they claim." Zachary's tone turned mocking. "I thought they were rational people, but it turns out they're just as hypocritical."

If Sky truly had no outside help, he wouldn't know about Emma's situation.

"Mr. Walker, if you're thinking of using those things to threaten Sophia into forgiving Emma, let me tell you now—you're dreaming."

Zachary stood up, his face dark with anger, his tone no longer polite.

"I don't know what game the Walker family is playing, but Sophia will never forgive Emma—or you. Do you really think you're innocent?

"No. You're just as guilty. You were the biggest accomplice!

"Emma's being beaten? So what? You should experience that kind of suffering yourself."

"Those files can't hurt me."

A voice suddenly rang out behind Zachary. Sophia slowly walked in, no one aware of how long she had been listening.

Zachary stiffened. He suddenly didn't dare turn around.

Sophia stepped closer, looking directly at Sky as she spoke, enunciating each word, "Sky, those files can't hurt me. I've already died once, and I fear nothing.

"Photos? Videos? If I don't acknowledge them, who can prove they're of me? Rather than letting you expose them, I might as well do it myself first."

She raised her phone toward him. "I was considering letting you go for Natalie's sake, for Mr. and Mrs. Walker's sake. But now, I see that's unnecessary.

"I've already sent everything out, including photos of you being arrested and detained.

"Sky, do you think I'm afraid?"

Sophia's expression was cold, her tone calm as she stared at Sky.

"Some might hurl insults at me, but as long as I live, I will be fearless. You, Emma, and Shane failed to kill me. In the end, I will only grow stronger.

"I'll take your challenge. And as for Emma and Shane, dying so easily would be too good for them. The suffering I endured—of course, you all should experience it too.

"Sky, you gave up everything for Emma. I just want to know—if one day, you find yourself violated, will you still be so magnanimous?

"Zachary, let's go."
