The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 318 Marcus' Generous Gift

Ivan had been repeatedly humiliated by the Walkers-first by Natalie, then by Charlotte, and now by Sky. His face went from pale to flushed before turning an alarming shade of red.

He was furious.

He had already lowered himself to show respect to Natalie, someone much younger than him, and even brought Sky-Sophia's fiancé and his future son-in- law-along to smooth things over.

Not only did Sky refuse to spare him some dignity, but he even outright declared that he was breaking off the engagement with Sophia because of this incident.

A broken engagement wouldn't affect the Walkers much at all, but for the Sinclairs, it was a different story.

Sinclair Group had been struggling in recent years, and on multiple occasions, Ivan had been forced to seek William's help.

William had only agreed because of the engagement between their families.

But Ivan had never liked William's attitude to begin with.

Because of Ivan's affair, William's eyes always betrayed his contempt and disgust, even as he maintained a polite smile when dealing with him.

And whenever William extended a hand, he never failed to add, "Consider it a gift for my future daughter-in-law, Sophia."

Ivan was infuriated just thinking about it. Sophia-that worthless girl-was just like her mother, Samantha. Completely useless.

She had been engaged to Sky for years, yet she still hadn't managed to secure him.

If she had seduced Sky earlier and gotten pregnant with the Walkers' first grandson, then he, Ivan, would finally have something to hold over that smug bastard, William.

His face flushed red with frustration as he cursed Sophia in his heart. Raising that daughter had been a waste. She was essentially worth less than a dog.

Not only had she failed to prove herself when it mattered most, but she had even disappeared at such a critical moment.

"Ivan, this so-called engagement was nothing more than a verbal agreement between Sky's and Sophia's grandfathers."

Charlotte stepped forward, her figure towering over Ivan, contempt gleaming in her eyes. "And now that the Walkers are calling it off, a verbal notice is all you're getting.

"Of course, since we Walkers believe in handling things properly, we'll be making an official statement to announce the cancellation.

"If you still have even a shred of dignity left, stop trying to sell your daughter like some cheap commodity. Maybe take a good look at how you've treated Sophia all these years.

"You sent Samantha off to a convent. Aren't you afraid she spends every single day praying for you to drop dead sooner?"
