The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 267 Not Close Before, Now, or Ever

Emma shot a pleading gaze at Noah. She had loved Marcus since she was young and often kept an eye on him from afar. As for those working for Marcus, she already knew all of them very well.

Aside from Ethan, Elijah and Noah were the ones Marcus relied on the most. Ethan was Marcus' assistant, while Elijah and Noah were Marcus' personal bodyguards.

Ethan worked for Marcus openly. Elijah and Noah would sometimes operate on Marcus' behalf in public and behind the scenes.

Though Ethan had more influence over work-related affairs, Elijah and Noah had the upper hand when it came to personal matters. After all, they had grown up with the Holdens and were trained from a young age before being assigned to protect Marcus. Despite being bodyguards, they seemed more like brothers to him.

Aside from being less talkative, Noah was also much more aloof and ruthless than Elijah. Elijah had a sharp tongue and spoke ruthlessly, but he was actually quite softhearted.

Emma gazed at Noah while biting her lip, her eyes bloodshot. Tonight would definitely be a sleepless night for her.

She lay in the hospital bed in excruciating pain while everyone at the Walker residence would be enjoying a horse feast. Though she wasn't there, she could imagine the lively atmosphere.

"Ms. Emma, it's no use begging me," Noah said nonchalantly, his expression remaining blank. "Mr. Holden said he was never close to you before, nor would he be now or in the future."

He continued, "He also said that the way you look at him makes him uneasy. He's even more disgusted by the way you drugged him.

"Ms. Emma, although you aren't Mr. and Mrs. Walker's biological daughter, you did grow up with the Walkers for the past 20 years. How could you not have learned any basic manners and morals?"

While speaking, Noah's gaze was filled with confusion. "Are your genes the reason why the darkness is always within you even though you're living in a good environment?"

Emma bit down harder on her lip. After some time, she slowly lay on the hospital bed again and covered herself with the blankets. She shut her eyes and said nothing.
