The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 408 The Wicked Meet Their End

Just as Natalie finished watching the video, a large hand covered her eyes.

"Don't watch such disgusting things," Marcus' deep, magnetic voice sounded in her ear. "It'll ruin your appetite."

Natalie smiled faintly. She had seen far bloodier and more revolting scenes than this. What disgusted her more than the sight of Ivan's and Julia's blood was their bedroom antics.

At their age, they were still into such extreme activities. If nothing else, their stamina was commendable.

"From now on, it looks like Sophia will have to step up and take charge of the Sinclair family's affairs."

Marcus kept one hand over Natalie's eyes while using the other to turn off her phone before finally letting her see again.

"Sophia isn't in good health right now. I don't think she's in any condition to take charge," Natalie said, frowning slightly. "And Ms. Blair doesn't seem like someone who can handle it either."

"So you mean you want me to step in?" Marcus' tone darkened. If she dared to say yes, he would be upset.

"Of course not." Natalie rejected the idea without hesitation. "Before, you treated Sophia as your benefactor and protected her. Back then, you and I had nothing to do with each other, so I had no say in it.

"But now, you're my boyfriend. If you step in to handle her affairs, what will

outsiders think of me? What will my family think? They'll all assume you still have feelings for her.

"Besides, love often begins with sympathy. Since you're my boyfriend now, helping other women is no longer your responsibility."

Hearing this, the storm on Marcus' face subsided a little.

Her answer satisfied him.

Suppressing the hint of a smile on his lips, Marcus asked casually, "Then... who do you think should help Sophia with this matter?"

Natalie pondered for a moment before answering, "We've already done almost everything we can for Sophia. The rest is up to her."

Marcus was even more satisfied with this answer, humming in response.
