The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 364 He Made Her Feel Flustered

Natalie watched as Marcus buckled her seat belt and then draped a jacket over her.

"Do you want me to lower your seat?" he asked.

She shook her head quickly. "No need."

"Alright."

He closed the passenger door and walked around to the driver's side. Then, he started the engine and drove off.

"Marcus, don't you think Ivan might be in danger? He is Sophia's biological father, after all."

Natalie glanced at the rearview mirror. Ivan was still lying on the ground, not moving.

"He won't die," Marcus answered in a low, magnetic voice. "If he did, that would be letting him off too easily."

"But does a man like that ever really regret the things he's done?" Natalie muttered. She honestly doubted Ivan would feel any remorse at all.

"There are some debts Sophia and Samantha need to settle on their own."

While driving, Marcus placed a call to Ethan. "Hello, Ethan? Proceed with our original plan. By tomorrow morning, I want to see the acquisition contract for Sinclair Group."

"Yes, Mr. Holden."

Marcus ended the call and stepped on the accelerator. When they reached an intersection, he turned off in another direction. The further they went, the more Natalie realized it wasn't the way back to the hospital.

"Marcus, this isn't the way to the hospital," she said, frowning.

"No. I'm taking you home," he replied, slipping back into that cool, aloof tone. "It's late, and you need rest."

"I'm not going home. I want to go back to the hospital and wait for Sophia to wake up."

"Her mother is there, and Zachary is too. You should go home and get some proper rest," he insisted, refusing her request. "Nat, you're a woman. Stop staying up all night."

She was annoyed and asked coldly, "Who do you think you are to tell me what to do?"

He turned and glanced at her. "I'm pursuing you."
