The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 629 The Holdens, the Walkers, and the Sinclairs Will All Despise Him

Cassie's words made Sheldon pause for a moment, but then he let out a chuckle.

"Cassie, you know what happens when someone cries wolf too many times?" he asked. "Elijah and Noah grew up in the Holden Residence alongside Mr. Marcus. The Holden family has never treated them unfairly-not once. And those two? They're fiercely loyal to Mr. Marcus.

He added, "As for Adam-sure, he's their biological father. But he was never around. They didn't even know they had a father. They just thought the Holden family adopted them from an orphanage.

"So, no, Cassie, not everyone who grows up without a dad ends up longing for one. If you think you can use Adam to threaten me or cut some kind of deal, you're dead wrong.

"Just sit tight. You're going to keep dragging yourself through these miserable days until after Mr. Marcus's wedding."

With that, Sheldon turned and left the basement.

Ever since he'd been hypnotized and recovered his memories, the very first thing he did was quietly send people out to search for Adam.

But after all this time, if Adam could be found, they would've uncovered some trace of him by now. And despite all the resources and effort Sheldon had poured into the search, not a single clue had surfaced.

He had started to suspect that Adam was no longer alive.

Back then, Adam had orchestrated everything-manipulating memories through hypnosis, removing Cassie-and whatever had happened between them afterward had clearly been serious.

It would explain why, all these years, even though Cassie harbored deep resentment toward Marcus, she never dared act against him or interfere in Holden Group's affairs.

Maybe Adam had been her final bargaining chip all along, but Sheldon wasn't afraid of her threats. After all, he truly believed that Adam would never betray the Holden family.

Step by step, Sheldon walked away from the basement. And if Adam was never found, it didn't matter. Elijah and Noah were part of the Holden family, and that would never change.

Meanwhile, over on Dithoria State's Central Boulevard, Marcus and the group had been wandering for a while when, without realizing it, they ended up near Dithoria City Hospital.

At first glance, Sierra immediately thought of Samuel. That day, after she left with him, it was a cab driver who had taken him to this very hospital.

"Samuel's staying at this hospital, right?" Zachary asked suddenly. "Why don't we all go check on him?"

Sophia looked over at him. Zachary gave her a reassuring look, and she relaxed. She trusted him that he wouldn't hurt her or do anything that would make her uncomfortable.
