The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 302 One Wrong Step Led to Another

Natalie watched as Sophia cried and reached for a tissue to hand to her. "You're still in postpartum recovery, so it's best not to cry too much.

"If you're worried that I'll expose the truth about Marcus' savior, I can tell you right now that you have nothing to worry about. I won't say anything. Marcus thinks you're his savior, so just continue being his savior," Natalie said calmly.

Sophia responded, "Ms. Walker, you being like this makes me feel even more ashamed. I feel like I've wronged you, but I don't have the courage to correct this mistake. One wrong step led to another, and ever since the first day I told this lie, I haven't had a single peaceful day."

She covered her face with her hands. Sophia had expected Natalie to scold her, to call her shameless, or even to hit her, but she didn't.

Natalie neither scolded nor hit her. Instead, she expressed her concern for Sophia.

At this, Sophia felt increasingly ashamed and guilty. Compared to Natalie's honesty and kindness, she felt like a despicable rat hiding in the shadows.

Even if she had unavoidable circumstances, a mistake was still a mistake.

"Ms. Walker, I'm sorry. I was wrong," Sophia choked out. She cried for a while before making a big decision in her heart. "I will tell Marcus that I am not his lifesaver-you are. As for whether he still chooses to protect me after that, I don't

know.

"I was initially thinking that if you were harsh to me or spoke to me with anger and resentment when meeting today, I wouldn't feel so guilty anymore. But you're too kind. You didn't blame me, and you're even willing to keep this secret for me."

Sophia looked at Natalie with bloodshot eyes and said, "I'm sorry. At first, I thought that since you were so ruthless to Emma, you wouldn't let me off either.

"But I was wrong. Ms. Walker, I apologize for doubting you. I feel ashamed, and I'm truly sorry."
