The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 739

Lincoln suddenly coughed, his gaze falling on Sky's hand, which was holding Sierra's. "Sky, I need to remind you that Ms. Remington is still married. You both need to keep a safe distance."

Sky immediately released Sierra's hand when he heard this. "Sorry, I didn't mean to."

Sierra clenched her fist, forcing a smile. "Mr. Lincoln, you're being too sensitive. Sky and I aren't what you think. I just want to build a life for myself here in Dithoria.

"I'm a woman, and aside from everything going on with Samuel, my parents are getting older, so I need to protect them. I want to ensure that my future is secure and stable."

She met Lincoln's gaze and decided to be honest. "My parents left me a large sum of money, and Samuel knows about it. He's refusing to divorce me because he wants Sinclair Group and the inheritance my parents left me."

She paused, then added, "I'm a woman unfamiliar with Dithoria. Money feels like a danger to me, but I can't just walk away from what my parents gave me. A woman can survive without many things, but not money. I need to protect my parents, myself, and the inheritance.

"I left Dithoria with Samuel when I was young, and I've lived abroad ever since. Here in Dithoria, I don't have many people I can trust. The only person I've known since childhood is Sky.

"He helped me when we were kids, and I know he's kind-hearted, warm, and just. That's why I asked him for help, hoping our childhood connection would count for something."

As she spoke, her voice softened. "I want to get into the entertainment industry. Once I'm a celebrity, I'll have a platform. If something happens to me, it won't go unnoticed. Samuel will think twice before trying anything."

Lincoln leaned back in his large chair, looking at Sierra. "Ms. Remington, is your goal really that straightforward?"

He had met many women wanting to break into the industry. Some were looking for excitement, some for money, and others for fame. However, Sierra didn't seem to be after any of that.

Lincoln could see right through her. She wasn't interested in fame or money. She was just using Sky as a stepping stone, and his company as her safety net.
