Samantha laughed through her tears as she repeatedly replayed the video posted by a media account on her phone.
"Serves them right. Good riddance!"
Covering her face, she finally couldn't hold back and burst into loud sobs.
"They're finally dead. That scumbag and that wretched woman are finally dead! I won't be threatened, harassed, or set up by them ever again!"
Sophia sat on her hospital bed, watching Samantha with a heart full of sorrow. She wanted to comfort her, but there were so many things to say that she didn't even know where to begin.
So, she simply let Samantha cry her heart out.
"Sophia, my daughter, we're finally free. Both of us are free. You'll never have to call that disgusting man 'Dad' again. He can never threaten you again. He'll never have another chance to use you to curry favor with any man."
Samantha laughed through her tears. "This is a joyous occasion. A huge celebration is in order. I'm going to buy something delicious to celebrate later.
"In my whole life, I've never felt as happy as I do right now."
After laughing and crying, Samantha covered her face and let out muffled sobs.
"Sophia, I don't have to live in fear anymore. I don't have to pray every day. I don't have to be separated from you ever again."
Sophia's eyes turned red as well, but the doctor had told her to keep her emotions in check, so she tried her best to control herself.
"Mom, we'll live a good life together from now on."
Choking up, Sophia continued, "I'll make sure you have a good life. Don't worry."
"Sophia, I don't ask for a good life. I just want you to be safe and healthy." After crying, Samantha wiped her tears with a tissue. "I'll go wash my face. And Sophia, don't waste your feelings on that scum. He was never worthy of being your father."
"I know, Mom. Don't worry."
Just then, Sophia's phone chimed.
She glanced at the screen, finding an email from an unknown sender.
Opening it, she read through the contents, her expression gradually darkening.
The sender was offering to transfer all the Sinclair Group shares they held over to her.
After the downfall of Ivan, Sinclair Group had been acquired by Holden Group. Ivan had only managed to take a small amount of money from the deal, but someone else had retained a significant portion of the company's shares.
And for some reason, Marcus hadn't acquired this person's shares.
It took Sophia a while to piece together the connections.
The downfall of Sinclair Group likely had something to do with this mysterious person.
The email also stated that if she wanted to reclaim Sinclair Group and become its new owner, they could help her.
Who was this person? Why were they offering to help her?
Sophia frowned deeply. The thing she feared most was this kind of unknown figure—someone whose motives were unclear, someone she couldn't tell was a friend or foe.
After Sinclair Group fell into Marcus' hands, she had never considered taking it back. In fact, she thought it was better off under Marcus.
With the support of Holden Group, every problem Sinclair once had was no longer a problem at all.
"It's time to rest."
Just as she was lost in thought, someone suddenly took the phone from her hand.
She looked up and saw Zachary gazing at her with concern.
"You've been frowning the whole time. What's wrong?"
"Mr. Holt, how much do you know about Sinclair Group?"
Sophia trusted Zachary. Her mind was a mess, so she decided to ask him for his opinion.
"I know quite a bit."
Zachary turned to pour her a glass of water and placed a set of pills in front of her. "Take your medicine first."
Sophia took the pills, drank some water, and then asked, "How much do you know about the Sinclair Group's downfall?"
Zachary thought for a moment before answering, "Quite a lot. But Sophia, you need to focus on resting. Three days from now, Emma Meloney's fate will be decided in court.

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?...
