Sierra gently tried to talk Samuel down. When she was a child, Samantha brought her into the Sinclair family. Sophia had held her hand and showed her around the Sinclair residence, and at night, she even let her sleep in the same room.
But after Samantha brought Sierra home, she and Ivan had a huge argument that very night.
Ivan had a mistress and an illegitimate daughter on the side, yet he wouldn't allow Samantha, the legitimate wife, to adopt an orphan.
That fight between them was loud and fierce. In the end, Samantha had no choice but to agree to Ivan's demand and send either Samuel or Sophia away, along with Sierra, to make room for his illegitimate daughter.
Left with no option, Samantha sent Samuel and Sierra away. Sophia stayed behind as leverage.
With Sophia at home, Samantha was forced into a convent. And for Samantha's sake, Sophia had to endure Ruby's torment in every way from a very young age.
Even though Sophia was Sky's fiancé, he never truly valued or cared for her. From childhood until now, the person she relied on the most was Marcus.
Now that Samuel had brought Sierra back to Dithoria, though they had lived abroad all these years, they were never out of the loop with what was going on.
Currently, the Sinclair family was under Sophia's control, and Samantha stood firmly by her side.
But Samuel never had any intention of coming back to fight Sophia over anything. He only wanted to formally reconnect and maybe visit the family. What he didn't expect was for both Sophia and Samantha to treat him with such coldness.
"Why don't we try inviting Mr. Holden and Ms. Walker?" Melissa suggested. "We met them back in Amberton. They seemed quite easy to talk to. Besides, Samuel, Cee, you're friends with Mr. Holden. If he reaches out to Ms. Sinclair, it should be fine, right?"
Sierra looked at Samuel. "Samuel, I think Mom's suggestion is good."
"I think so too." Samuel let out a heavy breath. "If nothing else works, I'll call Marcus myself."
As he spoke, Samuel took out his phone and dialed for Marcus. As soon as the call connected, he got straight to the point.
"Hey Marcus, I brought Sierra back to Dithoria. Let's meet up and have a meal."
"Sorry," Marcus replied flatly. "I'm busy with wedding preparations right now. I don't have time to meet you."
The reason was simple. The moment Samuel and the Remingtons left the Walker residence, Charlotte had informed Natalie of what transpired.
When it came to the Sinclair family, Charlotte and William refrained from commenting too much. But after all the pain Sophia had endured because of the Walker family—and the fact that Samuel, as her own brother, never even checked in on her when things went wrong—Charlotte had no sympathy for him. He didn't even bother calling to show concern, let alone offer help.
Charlotte sympathized with Sophia. Samuel had chosen to be invisible all these years. Now that Sophia and Samantha had finally found peace and stability, he shouldn't be coming back to disrupt that.
Charlotte and William knew exactly why he had returned. Natalie and Marcus understood it all the more.

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...
