The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 336 Sorry

As Natalie spoke, tears fell from her eyes. "Marcus, Sophia shouldn't have been violated by Shane. She is heiress of the Sinclair family, Sky's fiancée, and even your savior. But why did she have to go through something like this?"

"My grandfather warned me even if Sophia was my savior, I couldn't get too close to her. She had a fiancé; if anything happened, she would turn to him first. The second was her family, and only after that should she come to me.

"I argued with him. Sophia was neglected in the Sinclair family, and Sky only had eyes for Emma. He never truly saw Sophia as his fiancée. But he said that whatever happened between Sky and Sophia was their business. I was an outsider. Even if I was her best friend, I couldn't interfere too much.
