The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 300 Sophia's Hesitation to Meet Natalie

Marcus' piercing gaze fixed firmly on Sophia, making her uneasy. She felt a sudden need to shield herself, so she

pulled the blanket over her head.

As long as she didn't meet his eyes, she could pretend she didn't know he was suspicious of her.

Sophia hesitated, then decided to change the subject. "By the way, | saw the news. Has the Walker family

completely given up on Emma?"

"Yes. Emma was targeting Natalie and even tried to harm her. She was behind the horse ramming into the car."

Marcus' deep voice flowed into Sophia's ears. "She probably wanted to frNatalie, but she miscalculated.

Natalie won't take the fall for something she didn't do.

"Moreover, Mr. and Mrs. Walker's stance is crystal clear. Even though Emma was pampered for 20 years, she will

never be more important than Natalie.

"Emma has tried to harm Natalie, and with that, Mr. and Mrs. Walker can't allow her to stay in the Walker family

anymore."

Marcus' voice grew colder, more pointed. "Sophia, why are you hiding under the blanket like that? Aren't you

afraid you'll suffocate?"

Sophia had been listening to Marcus' deep voice for a while, and the air felt thick, stifling. She reluctantly

lowered the blanket, allowing herself to breathe in fresh air.

"So... what is Ms. Walker's stance on Emma?" Sophia asked, feeling increasingly uneasy. After all, Emma was the

Walker family's fake daughter, and Natalie had shown such hatred toward her.

Sophia wondered if Natalie would be angry if she found out that Sophia had taken credit for saving Marcus’ life

as a child. Would Natalie retaliate?

Marcus' gaze turned sharper as he stared at her. "Sophia, what's going on? You seem unusually concerned about

Natalie and Emma."

Sophia quickly shook her head. "It's not like that. | was just in a car accident at Walker Estate, and | lost my baby.

| was going to ask Natalie for help, but things didn't go as planned, and then | ended up in more trouble. Now

you're saying it's all Emma's doing, so naturally, I'm curious too."

"Is that so?" Marcus’ eyes locked onto Sophia's, his gaze piercing. She looked away, unwilling to meet his gaze.

"Sophia, is there something you're hiding from me?" His voice was low, and his gaze was boring a hole through

her.

"No," Sophia answered quickly, too quickly. Her hasty response only made Marcus more certain that something

was amiss.

Sophia's eyes darted away. "Marcus, we've known each other for so many years. Do you really still not trust me?

| never wanted this child. I didn't even plan to find the miracle doctor, Dr. Elim. After all, how could a miracle

doctor perform a small procedure like an abortion?

"It was Ms. Walker who toldif | could find Dr. Elim, it would be the best. She also mentioned that although

abortion is considered a minor procedure, there have been incidents where things went terribly wrong.

"She showedmany case studies, and | got scared when | saw the bloody scenes. That's when | decided to

ask Mr. Holden Senior for help and request to meet Dr. Elim."

Sophia lowered her head as she spoke. "Marcus, | didn't dare tell you before because | was afraid you'd ask who

the father of the child is. | can't say, and | dare not."

Marcus' voice grew firmer. "What's stopping you from telling me?" He reached out, lifting her chin. "Look at me,

Sophia."

Sophia immediately shook her head. "I can't."

When she was guilty, she couldn't bear to look him in the eye. His gaze was too sharp and cold, like an invisible

ice blade that could pierce her heart.

Perhaps it was because she had deceived him. Sophia had always felt like a sword was hanging over her head,

waiting for her lies to be exposed. The moment the truth cout, that sword would fall, severing her life.

She couldn't bear the consequences. She was terrified.

The Sinclair family had never loved her, and now, after everything, Marcus was

her only support. She couldn't let him find out about her deception.

All these years, Sophia had assumed that the little girl who saved Marcus wouldn't reappear, but she hadn't

expected Natalie to return as the true daughter of the Walker family—someone who had been switched at birth

20 years ago.

Natalie's return to the Walker family and the grand welcparty only worsened things. Now Emma was being

cast out. It was no surprise that Sophia was

nervous.

"By the way, | heard it was Ms. Walker who askedto be transferred to Goodwill Pharmacy," Sophia said,

trying to steady her nerves, refusing to meet Marcus' gaze.

"Marcus, I'd like to meet her. Could you arrange a meeting for us? I'm wondering if the news about my car

accident and miscarriage has leaked."

She looked up at him. "Marcus, could you help me?"

Marcus thought for a moment before

Natalie had accepted her identity as the heiress of the Walker family. She would gradually integrate into the elite

circles of Dithoria State-there was no doubt about it.

Sophia forced a smile. "I'm sure she'll meet with me. Natalie is a nice person- she has a gentle temper."

"A gentle temper?" Marcus raised an eyebrow as if he had just heard a joke. But he didn't say much more. "Get

srest. I'll arrange a meeting with Natalie for you."

"Alright, thank you," Sophia said.

"Just focus on resting."

Marcus stood up and left the room.

Marcus couldn't help but smile to himself. Despite the fact that she had slapped him twice, she had also saved

him twice. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He assumed Natalie would take advantage of the situation-seizing the chance to force his hand and demand

marriage.

But to his complete surprise, she hadn't been the least bit interested in his body. Instead, she had slapped him

hard. And not just once.

Those slaps had left him feeling strangely satisfied yet inexplicably annoyed at the stime.

Marcus sighed. He really must be losing his mind. So much thad passed, and yet, he still couldn't stop

thinking about it.
