The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 612 The Moment She Heard Her Voice

As Sophia spoke, her voice cracked. She reached up to cover her eyes, letting the darkness behind her palms give her a momentary sense of safety.

"Mom, if it weren't for Natalie and Marcus, I might have already died. And maybe you would've died too, trapped in that convent of the Sinclair family.

"Anyone else can comment about me, but not Samuel.

"Back then, what Julia feared most was Samuel returning when he grew up and fighting for power in the Sinclair family, threatening her and her daughter.

"But even knowing we weren't doing well in Dithoria, Samuel never once thought to come back and help us. Even if not to help, just coming back to see you would have been enough.

"I'm his sister. I don't expect anything for myself, but you're his mother. He and Sierra left for abroad under your protection, with money you gave them. They had caretakers and never lacked anything. So tell me, what part of his life was so hard?

"Oh right, Sierra's a Remington now. She found her biological parents, wealthy people from Amberton. So the first thing Samuel did was take Sierra to Amberton. He didn't care about you or me for a second.

"And now their whole family shows up in Dithoria for Natalie and Marcus' wedding, suddenly wanting to find me to settle accounts.

Sophia laughed bitterly. "Who does Samuel think he is? A brother? What kind of brother?"

"Sophia, Ms. Blair, The chamomile tea is ready."

Zachary came out holding the freshly brewed tea. His recipe was different from anything sold outside. It smelled rich and fragrant, with steam swirling up and blurring Sophia's vision.

Although he had been in the kitchen, Zachary had heard the entire exchange between Sophia and Samantha.

Samuel, huh? He would remember that name.

"Have some chamomile tea. You still have to work overtime at Ms. Walker's company later. Try not to worry about other things."
