The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 353 Never Understood Her

Natalie's tone was icy, and her expression indifferent. At that moment, Hector felt as though he was seeing her arrive at the Walker residence for the first time.

She looked distant and aloof as if she was detached from everything. But at the same time, she exuded a cold and elegant aura, as if she had everything under control.

"The Sinclairs have no idea. According to Lincoln, we shall see if Sophia decides to inform them. But they will surely find out about the investigation," Hector answered truthfully.

"Lincoln told the authorities to wait until Sophia woke up and gave her consent. Furthermore, Marcus' lawyer intervened. For now, the Sinclairs are still in the dark."

"We can't allow the Sinclairs to harm Sophia any further. She has to break free from their control," Natalie stated firmly. "I'll talk to Marcus and ask him to get Sophia's mother out."

"Natalie, is something going on between you and Marcus?" Hector asked carefully. He couldn't make sense of their relationship.

Natalie didn't mind the question. "We're not in a relationship. We're just friends."

There was never any romantic interest between them. Coupled with the misunderstanding from before, Marcus wanted nothing to do with her. She had no intention of chasing after someone uninterested in her. Therefore, they had never been particularly close.

To Natalie, the canceled engagement was a relief.

After their misunderstanding had been cleared, Marcus also discovered that she had saved his life as a child. He wanted to repay the debt, and she couldn't stop him, so she let him be.

Coupled with what happened to Sophia, they had gotten much closer.

"Nat, I don't mean that. If you like Marcus, I will fully support you in dating him. I'm just unhappy because you should've been the one to call off the engagement, not the other way around," Hector said.

"How could a man put a woman in such an awkward position? If he pursues you, make him work for it. Give him the full experience of chasing a woman."

Natalie was speechless.

"I'm just joking with you. I was trying to lighten the mood. Clearly, my humor fell flat."

Hector scratched his nose embarrassingly and continued, "Marcus had only gotten pretty close to Sophia in recent years. I just don't want you to be deceived."

"Thank you, Hector. I get it."
