The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 642 Noah Discovers Sheldon's Secret

Noah had his ear pressed against the study door, his gaze darting around the hallway. The Holden Residence study was known for its impeccable

soundproofing, but he had installed a small device inside.

It wasn't a listening bug. With Sheldon's sharp instincts, he would have noticed it instantly. So Noah didn't dare go that far.

However, even this small device was enough. Noah could make out the faintest sound from inside.

"Mr. Holden Senior, once Mr. Marcus and Mrs. Natalie's wedding is over, I'll bring Cassie to see you."

Sheldon's voice carried softly through the receiver. "She doesn't deserve to exist in this world.

"I want her to witness it all with her own eyes. The man she loves most, her own brother, living happily with the woman she despises most. The more she craves something, the more I'll make sure she can't have it.

"Mr. Holden Senior, Vivian never truly cared for you. She deceived you, toyed with your feelings, and tricked you into raising her bastard daughter. I won't let it go.

"Cassie has to die. Only then can Mr. Wesley, Ms. Laura, Mr. Marcus, and his bride live in peace.

"Don't worry. Once I finish everything, I'll leave Holden Residence. I'll take all the blame. I won't let Mr. Wesley or Mr. Marcus get tainted in the slightest."

Noah listened in silence, his expression grim. He could already guess what Sheldon was planning. His eyes flickered around the hallway. Stepping lightly, he quietly backed away from the study.

Inside, Sheldon remained seated, clutching the ruined family photo in his hand. Vivian and Cassie's faces had been slashed beyond recognition. His tear- streaked face trembled as he spoke.

"Mr. Holden Senior, if only you were still here. You would have seen Mr. Marcus get married. You would have seen Mr. Wesley and Ms. Laura come home.

"We were so close. So close to being whole again. We could have had everything. But why? Why did it have to be like this?"

His cries were filled with anguish. He pounded the desk with trembling fists, unable to accept what had happened.
