The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 355 Cutting Ties

"Mr. Holden, please don't get mad. My husband is worried about Sophia. He truly cares about her. He's been worried sick about her," Julia said.

She pushed Ruby forward and added, "We'll check on Sophia. I'll leave Ruby here to keep you company.

"Ruby, you should talk to Mr. Holden and thank him for taking care of Sophia all this while."

Julia held back her cough while speaking. Then, she pinched Ruby's arm. Ruby winced in pain, but she didn't dare make a sound. All she could do was murmur, "Okay."

"Honey, let's go see Sophia."

Julia linked arms with Ivan, who was more than happy to leave. They walked past Marcus and Natalie and entered the hospital.

The moment Julia and Ivan left, Ruby thought of running away. "Mr. Holden, please don't take my mother's words seriously. I'll leave right away."

Ruby was scared to death when she saw Natalie because Natalie had evidence of Julia's affair.

Back then, at the convent, Ruby had seen the pictures herself. She had no idea what Julia had said to Ivan, but he didn't question her identity.

However, lies were still lies.

Ruby was terrified. Not only was she not an illegitimate child, she wasn't even his biological daughter. She was an imposter!

If Ivan ever found out that he had been raising someone else's child, judging by his attitude toward Sophia, Ruby could predict how miserable her life would become.

Therefore, she couldn't afford to get on Natalie's bad side.

As for Marcus, since the start, he was someone that she couldn't afford to mess with.

Ruby turned around and bolted after finishin her words. She ran away quickly as if she was being chased by ghosts.

"Let's go inside," Natalie said calmly. "We shouldn't let the Sinclairs bother Sophia."
