"Natalie, I'll make you the new boss of Sinclair Group. What do you say?" Marcus repeated himself.
"Sinclair Group is falling apart now, so I'll hand it over to you."
"Are you repaying me again?" Natalie pulled a small smile. "That's quite a grand way to show your gratitude, Marcus."
"I am. Is my life not worth more than Sinclair Group?"
Marcus added smoothly, "You're my lifesaver, so you deserve the greatest reward in the world."
To him, Sinclair Group was merely a small company that was on the brink of bankruptcy.
Besides, Ivan had made numerous wrong decisions over the years, causing the company's performance to decline. Its collapse was just a matter of time.
William had entrusted Ivan with multiple projects and invested in Sinclair Group back then, which was why the company was still standing today.
Sinclair Group's decline would have been rapid otherwise.
Since the Walkers had called off the engagement, William would no longer lend any more help to Sinclair Group from now on.
Thus, when Marcus stepped in, Ivan couldn't possibly resist it. To Marcus, Sinclair Group was as vulnerable as injured prey in his grasp.
"What do you say, Nat?"
Marcus' low voice echoed through the phone, almost as if he was softly coaxing Natalie.
"You don't necessarily need to join Walker Group as the heir of the Walkers. Instead, you can be the one who controls Sinclair Group, then slowly integrate it into Walker Group. What are your thoughts about this?"
Natalie didn't respond to him. She had arrived at Sophia's room and stopped in front of the door.
"I'll give you another present later, Nat." Marcus chuckled. "You'll like it for sure."
"You don't have to send me gifts, Marcus. You don't have to repay me at all. I'm fine with it."
"But it matters to me, so say no more, Nat. I'm going to repay you no matter what. I made a mistake in the past; I was blind to both what I felt and saw. I will make up for it this time."
Marcus spoke with such certainty, his words leaving no room for argument.
Hence, Natalie remained silent. She couldn't think of anything to say since Marcus was being so insistent.
"Wait for me, Natalie."
As Marcus finished his sentence, he ended the call right away before Natalie could respond.
Sophia, who was in the room, was informed of everything that had happened outside. When Helena noticed Natalie, she stood up immediately.
"Come on in, Ms. Walker!"
Natalie entered the room. Then, she cast her gaze outside, only to see Noah following her obligingly. He could already take on the role of a loyal bodyguard at this point.
As Noah stood before the door, Elijah came out of nowhere. "Why are you here, Noah?"
"Didn't you hear what happened outside?" Noah lifted an eyebrow as he said.
Elijah was a nosy parker. With all that noise outside, why didn't he even bother to check?
"The room is soundproof, Noah! Besides, I have to protect Ms. Sinclair, so I must remain at my post."
Elijah was a little disappointed as well, missing out on the chance to witness the drama firsthand. To him, it was almost worse than going hungry all day.
"I'll tell you then."
