The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 337 Photos of Marcus and Emma

"Yes, we have to go." Natalie took a deep breath. "Keep looking. I have a feeling that bastard Shane has left behind more things."

Shane was so brazen he must have possessed plenty of things related to Sophia.

Since Natalie had decided to help Sophia, she would see it through to the end.

This incident happened within the Walker residence, and it was their helper who hurt Sophia.

This would never have happened had the Walker family properly managed their helpers.

Natalie felt a heavy weight on her heart. She crouched down to check under the bed, but Marcus pulled her back before she could.

"I'll do it."

Before she could say anything, he had already lowered himself. He was tall, and crouching wasn't enough, so he lay flat on the floor.

"You don't have to do this, Marcus," she said, momentarily unsure what to say.

He was here to help because she had called him, but he could have refused. He didn't have to get involved at all.

"Get up," she urged.

"Nat, don't think too much about it." Marcus turned on the flashlight on his phone and carefully searched under the bed.

"I failed to protect Sophia. I've known her for years, yet I never really understood her. I had no idea she was struggling this much. I was wrong. I always saw her as my savior but never protected her."

After hearing his deep, hoarse voice, Natalie fell silent.

She had been wrong. She shouldn't have initially placed all the blame on Marcus. She shouldn't have said those things in her fit of anger.

"Marcus, I'm sorry." She apologized softly. "I lost my mind for a moment. Don't take what I said to heart."

"You weren't wrong, Nat. You don't need to apologize."

As they spoke, Marcus continued searching. The beam of his flashlight swept across the floor, illuminating a box near the desk.

"Hold my phone," he said.
