The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 618

Samuel kept talking on the phone, but the more Sierra listened, the worse her expression became. She didn't interrupt and just silently let Samuel continue.

"Marcus and I have known each other since we were kids. We were friends. Just because I've been abroad all these years and haven't kept in touch with him, does that give him the right to have his bodyguard beat me up?

"Is he doing this just because he's the heir of the Holden family? Just because he's the richest man in the world, he thinks he can do whatever he wants?

"Cee, I'm in the hospital right now, alone and feeling terrible. Can you come keep me company?"

"Sorry," Sierra finally answered. "Samuel, I think you have a serious problem with how you see things. I need some time alone to think. You should take some time to reflect too.

"I disagree with what you're saying. When we were abroad, you told me you didn't want anything from the Sinclair family. When Mr. Holden reached out and told you about my biological parents, you said we were returning home to reconnect with our family, not to fight Sophia.

"Do you really not know the real reason we had to leave the country when we were kids?"

Tears welled up in her eyes as she continued, "Most importantly, I can't accept the fact that you're using the pain Sophia went through to attack her. You're her biological brother. If even you think this way, how is she supposed to go on?

"Samuel, I didn't want to say this. You're my husband, and I should stand by you, but Sophia is my friend. I still remember when Mom first brought me back to the Sinclair residence, it was Sophia who took me to her room, ran a bath for me, and gave me her new clothes to wear.

"It was Sophia who held my hand that night, let me sleep next to her, and told me that from that day on, I had a mom, too.

"When something happened to her, I was devastated. I wished I could kill the person who hurt her. But as her brother, how could you say something like this?

"Now I finally understand why Mom and Sophia won't accept you returning to the Sinclair residence. It's because you don't deserve it."

After saying that, Sierra hung up the phone. As soon as the call ended, her tears fell.

Sophia was such a good person. Did she choose to go through everything she suffered? Of course not.

Sierra regretted not apologizing to Elijah. Perhaps it was a good thing that Elijah had broken Samuel's leg.

Samuel was beyond saving.

But… should she divorce him over this?

Sierra felt lost. Her whole life had been intertwined with Samuel's. But she would never forget how Sophia had treated her with kindness, warmth, and joy when she first arrived at the Sinclair residence.

Sophia had even said that she would treat Sierra like a younger sister since she was older, and that the day Sierra was brought back by Samantha was her new birthday.

From the moment she entered the Sinclair residence, Sierra had been given a new life.

Now, on one side was her husband, on the other was someone she considered a sister. Her husband was also her sister's biological brother.

By all logic, they should be the closest of family. But now, things had fallen apart.

Sierra sat in a daze for a while before her phone rang again. It was Samuel calling back.

Annoyed, she simply hung up and blocked his number.

Taking a deep breath, she called Sophia. Sierra hadn't seen her since returning to Dithoria State.

Back at the beach, when she ran over to Samuel, Sophia had already left.

The call connected, but Sophia took a long time to answer. "Hello, Sierra."

"Sophia, I'm sorry." Sierra's first words were an apology. "I scolded Samuel for what he said. I'm apologizing to you on his behalf."
