The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 349

Marcus' gaze swept over Sky and Emma from head to toe. "Are you two running for your lives?"

"Marcus, move," Sky said.

His expression darkened. The stab wounds he had suffered from Cindy weren't fatal, but if he kept losing blood, it would become a serious problem. More importantly, Emma's injuries needed immediate attention.

When he was first brought upstairs and saw her condition, his heart clenched in pain.

Her forehead had been split open, dried blood staining her leg, and her wrists and fingers bore various cuts and bruises.

Sky didn't care about his wounds—what hurt him the most was seeing Emma like this.

"Mr. Sky, this is Sophia's mansion. Both of you broke in and are covered in blood. Now you want to just walk out? That's not how this works." Marcus' tone was icy, his eyes devoid of warmth as he looked at them.

Suddenly, a shrill scream rang out from inside the villa. "Help! Ms. Sinclair has been murdered! Don't scare me, Ms. Sinclair. Wake up!"

Then, someone frantically called for an ambulance and the police.

Upstairs, there was a loud crash, and a moment later, a woman's head appeared from a second-floor window.

"Stop them! Don't let them leave! She killed Ms. Sinclair!"

Hearing this, Natalie turned to lock eyes with Marcus. He gave her a slight nod, and without hesitation, she bolted into the villa.

Then, Elijah and Noah emerged from the shadows, stepping into the light to block Natalie's path.

Noah lowered his voice, "Ms. Walker, Ms. Sinclair made it clear that she wanted to handle this herself.

"Ms. Sinclair said that you and Mr. Holden have already helped her enough. She cannot drag you both into this. Everything was her decision alone, and you knew nothing about it.

"She also said that no matter what happens to her, she is deeply grateful to you and Mr. Holden. If she makes it through this, she will dedicate herself to serving you as a way to repay your kindness."

"Sophia's upstairs, isn't she?" Natalie asked.

A sinking feeling settled in Natalie's chest. When they arrived, Sophia hadn't mentioned having others hidden in the shadows.

"Yes, Ms. Walker. She instructed Elijah and me to stay out of sight. She said not to reveal ourselves unless she allowed it. She wanted to take her revenge personally, to settle her score with Sky and Emma herself." Noah lowered his head as he spoke.

Sophia shared many things with Elijah and Noah, but she forbade them from informing Natalie and Marcus. She had even threatened them with her life to ensure they wouldn't interfere.

"Ms. Sinclair said that those who hurt her would not escape their fate. You had given her the hope and courage to fight back. However, she couldn't risk dragging you and Mr. Holden into this.
