The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 338 Someone's Protecting Him

"There's more underneath." Natalie reached deeper into the box, pulling out a stack of photographs-pictures of Sophia.

However, each one had been defaced with thick red crosses, and the back of the photos was covered in vile insults-"Slut", "Die", and "Trash".

Sophia's face had been slashed beyond recognition, her features completely mutilated.

At the very bottom of the box lay a small doll. On its back, someone had written Sophia's birthday. The doll was riddled with pinholes as if it had been used for some twisted revenge.

It was clear just how much they hated her.

"These are all evidence."

Natalie carefully packed everything back into the box and handed it to Marcus. Then, she stepped forward, suddenly grabbing Shane's face and forcing his mouth open before swiftly shoving a small pill down his throat.

With a push and a pull, Shane had no time to react-the pill was already swallowed.

He immediately shoved his fingers down his throat, desperately trying to make himself vomit.

Shane coughed and retched violently, but nothing came up. He could only dry heave in agony.

"Don't waste your energy." Natalie's voice was ice-cold. "Now answer me-does Emma have the same kind of material you do?"

He stopped gagging and slowly lifted his head, his eyes filled with resentment. Before he could speak, Marcus stepped forward, shielding Natalie and pressing the heel of his polished leather shoe against Shane's throat.

"If you don't want your eyes, you can take them out." His deep, magnetic voice sounded nonchalant. "If you can't learn to judge people, there's no need to keep them."

"I—I can judge! I can judge just fine! Mr. Holden, please! I swear I won't misjudge her!"

The moment Marcus finished speaking, Shane groveled like a dog.

Natalie stood to the side, watching. She had finally figured it out-Marcus' presence carried more weight than all five Walker brothers combined.

"Ms. Walker, I'm sorry! Please forgive me! I won't do it again!"

"Answer her question." Marcus pressed down slightly harder with his foot, bulging Shane's eyes.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!"

"Ms. Emma... has more than I do." Shane gasped in pain. "It was her who ordered me to do this to Sophia! She told me to take those photos and videos. She said Sophia kept clinging to Mr. Holden and needed to be taught a lesson.
