Ivan's expression darkened. He shot Natalie a glare and spoke while gritting his teeth. "You're just lucky, you know? Do you really think Charlotte loves you that much? If she does, why hadn't she realized that Emma wasn't her biological daughter when they didn't look alike at all?
"You really believe that they genuinely care about you since they threw you a welcome party? Besides, have you ever wondered why Emma dared to insult you at the party? It's because William and Charlotte tolerated it!"
Ivan turned to glare at Charlotte and Sky. "You just want to break off the engagement, right? Fine! My daughter is too good for your family anyway. Sky treats his sister way better than his girlfriend to the extent that people would probably think Emma is his girlfriend, not Sophia.
"My daughter is intelligent, kind, and gentle. There are tons of people waiting to marry her. She's better off without you, Sky."
Then, he turned to Charlotte. "And you dare criticize me for keeping a mistress? Look at your own son, Charlotte. He has twisted thoughts toward his sister!"
Ivan scoffed. "Who gave you the nerve to judge me, anyway?"
Charlotte and Sky frowned upon listening to Ivan's words.
Natalie, however, kept her face neutral. She slowly remarked, "Oh, so you're aware that you've cheated on your wife. By the way, do you know where Sophia is now since you care so much about her?"
After Natalie mentioned Sophia who had gone missing, Ivan raged again. "That bitch… I'll make sure she regrets it once she gets home."
"Who would want to be in-laws with someone so rude and aggressive like you, anyway?"
Natalie went on, "No wonder Ms. Sinclair ran away from home."
Julia, who had been sitting aside all along, started coughing again. She could no longer hold the coughs back. It was so bad that even water couldn't ease the discomfort in her throat.
"Please ask Goodwill Pharmacy to sell the medicine to me, honey. I'm in so much pain," Julia said as she covered her mouth, still coughing.
Her coughs were getting on Ivan's nerves. He recalled how Charlotte mentioned the infectious disease. It still bothered him, even if just a little.
"The grass is always greener on the other side, though," said Noah out of nowhere. "And yes, Mr. Sinclair, I'm talking to you."
"Huh?"
Natalie, Charlotte, and Sky raised their confusions out loud at the same time. They wondered why Noah spoke all of a sudden.
Noah remained completely serious, eyes fixed forward. "Just a friendly reminder, Mr. Sinclair. Having a mistress is fine, but don't go fathering an illegitimate child."
"How dare you!"
Ivan was furious. He rushed over, wanting to slap Noah. However, Noah easily grabbed Ivan's wrist and lifted it.
"Ouch!" In that instant, Ivan shouted in agony. "Let go! Did you hear me? I said to let go of me!"
Ivan was wincing in pain. Moments later, Noah smiled a little as he let go of Ivan's wrist. "You should try controlling your temper now that you've aged, Mr. Sinclair. Although you're at Goodwill Pharmacy, we don't have any doctors to come to your aid if anything happens.
"Besides, shouldn't you show more manners when you're the one asking for help? You see, people don't care if you have a mistress or raise an illegitimate daughter, but you shouldn't bring them to cause trouble here at Goodwill Pharmacy. Mr. Sinclair, don't you know that this pharmacy is backed by Mr. Holden?"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus)
This one gets us readers asking for more! Excellent story, great twists......
Hope Grandpa Charles lives long enough to see Marcus and Nat's children, please. It will make him happy to see life is still worth living and that he didn't fail raising Marcus at least. Let him be happy at least in this aspect. Thanks...
Finished till 538....Waiting for more...
This really hurts. I am confused if Yvette sent a msg saying old love to Charles through Charlene. Why isnt it in her confession. Or did she actually set vivian up into sleeping with that man? And later blackmailed vivian with it till vivian commited suicide? Did Yvetty yhinks Charles would marry her after vivians death but he remained loyal. Hence her anger?...
Hope Nat can cure Marcus' mom. Looking forward to new updates. Thank you...
