The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 530 Childhood Sweethearts, Loving Couples, All Just Illusions

Hector experienced deep sadness and remorse when he thought of Sky. As the Walker Group's heir, Sky had been raised by his parents with great expectations and dreams. However, due to Emma's actions, he found himself incarcerated.

"I never had romantic feelings for Charles. I thought of him as a brother, so marrying him in her place was out of the question.

"Looking at Vivian's desperation regarding the man, my father, in a burst of anger, tossed the signed contract with the man before her. He also compelled the man to confess that he had left her with the Jenkins family's money.
