The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 627

Zachary calmly addressed the doubts lingering in the Remington family's minds.

"Back when Ms. Remington and Samuel were overseas, they hadn't encountered the kind of power and benefits tied to the Sinclair Group here in Dithoria.

"So, of course, he never mentioned it or even thought about it. Over the past few years, even though he built a decent career abroad, the truth is he never made it big. Not compared to someone from the Holden Group, at least.

"Sure, he earned some money, but he was never truly powerful or influential overseas. He lived a stable, comfortable life, thanks to Ms. Samantha and Sophia quietly supporting him from back home. But instead of being grateful, he viewed it the other way around.

"In his mind, Ms. Samantha and Sophia were doing well because they owed him, so it was their responsibility to keep sending money.

"And on top of that, Ms. Remington comes from a fairly wealthy family, too. But Samuel is a man, and once a man gets a taste of power, he doesn't let go easily.

"Now that he's planning to return to Dithoria and settle down, the Sinclair Group is something he's determined to get into."

Zachary's voice remained cold and steady as he continued, "He targeted Sophia because he wanted to discredit and tear her down. If she broke down emotionally and couldn't continue managing Sinclair Group, she'd be forced to step down.

"Even though the company is currently being run by someone Mr. Holden appointed, Samuel's trying to push Sophia into giving up the position voluntarily."

"That's disgusting, absolutely vile," Samantha said, her face pale with anger.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, but her eyes still reddened with unshed tears. "How did I raise such an ungrateful son? Sophia is his sister. How could he be so cruel?"

"Don't cry, Mom," Sierra said softly, gently holding Samantha's hand. "I'm not like Samuel. I'll always be on Sophia's side. Let's go ahead and invite Mr. Holden and Ms. Walker. There are some things I'd like to say to Ms. Walker, too."

"Alright. I'll handle it," Jonathan said.

He had a personal connection with Marcus, and he was confident Marcus wouldn't turn him down.

Sierra smiled and leaned in playfully. "Thanks, Dad."

Jonathan pulled out his phone and called Marcus. The call connected quickly.

"Hello, Mr. Holden!" Jonathan greeted him with a cheerful chuckle.

"My wife and I are here in Dithoria for your wedding with Ms. Walker. We'd love to invite you and Ms. Walker out for a meal—well, I guess I should be calling her Mrs. Holden now."

"Mr. Remington, it should be us inviting you and Mrs. Remington," Marcus replied, his deep, steady voice coming through the line. I've been tied up with all the wedding arrangements with Natalie the past few days and haven't had a chance to visit you and Mrs. Remington yet. But it's not too late."

He added, "Mr. Remington, just let me know what works for you, and I'll host a gathering. I'd also love for you to meet my mother."

"Are you free now? We're free at the moment," Jonathan said.

"Sure."

Marcus and Natalie had already finished their outdoor photoshoot for the day. All that remained was to change out of their outfits, and they'd be done.

"Just send me the address," Marcus said. "I'll swing by to pick up my mom, and we'll head over shortly."

"Alright, no rush. Drive safe, take your time," Jonathan said before hanging up. Then he sent Marcus the location of The Walker Hotel.

"All set. Mr. Holden and Ms. Walker will be coming over soon with his mother," he said with a smile.

He reached out and gave Sierra's hand a reassuring pat. "Sweetie, don't worry. I once saved Mr. Holden's life, so he won't turn me down as long as I don't ask for anything too outrageous."

"Dad, I'm not trying to use that to get anything out of him. The three of us already have enough money to live comfortably for two lifetimes.
