The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 517 Give Her Natterns Group

Marcus' deep and tender voice resonated softly in Natalie's ear. "I really love holding my girlfriend."

Natalie couldn't help but smile. She reached out and wrapped her arms around Marcus' waist, playfully running her fingers along his back. "You'll have plenty of chances to do that in the future. For now, let's go eat!"

"You didn't sleep well last night. Do you want me to take a nap with you this afternoon?"

Marcus held Natalie's hand with a faint smile on his lips. "There's no need. Let's eat first. After that, I'll bring you to the Remington residence.

"Mr. Remington gave me medicine last time. I helped him find his biological daughter, and now he's hosting a reunion banquet for her. He invited me to attend.

"As it turns out, the daughter he lost was actually raised by Samantha Blair, who sent the child abroad when she was young.

"Ms. Blair took her in and named her Sierra Sinclair. She grew up alongside Samuel, essentially as his intended betrothed."

Marcus led Natalie downstairs as he spoke.

"Why did she send them abroad?" Natalie frowned slightly. "Why did Ms. Blair only send Samuel and Sierra overseas but not Sophia?"

"Because Sophia didn't have an easy life in the Sinclair residence.

"Sierra was someone Ms. Blair picked up on the street. Though she said she 'found' her, the truth is that Sierra escaped from human traffickers and ran to Ms. Blair for help. Ms. Blair was kind-hearted, but her relationship with Ivan was strained, and her family wasn't powerful enough to support her.

"On top of that, Ivan had mistresses, and those women were far from easy to deal with. Ms. Blair was afraid they might use Sierra's identity to seek revenge, so she decided to send both Samuel and Sierra abroad early on.

"She couldn't bear to send Sophia away. And Ivan insisted on keeping one child at home as leverage, so Sophia had to stay behind. He would never have allowed Ms. Blair to send all their children away."

Listening to this, Natalie couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for Sophia. She endured everything because she wanted to protect Samantha.

But in making decisions for her children's safety, Samantha ultimately left her behind.
