The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 616

Marcus' voice was deep, magnetic, and carried no warmth or emotion. Sophia was someone Natalie wanted to protect. By bullying Sophia like this, Samuel was basically undermining Natalie.

As a man who knew about Sophia's circumstances since childhood, Marcus found Samuel's words utterly unacceptable.

Not standing up for her was one thing, but saying something so cruel was another.

At that moment, Marcus made up his mind; he would no longer consider Samuel a friend.

"Samuel, I'm sorry, but I do not have a friend like you."

He looked down at Samuel, who had just been slapped by Elijah. "You spent these past few years abroad, living a carefree life with Sierra, completely ignoring everything that happened in the Sinclair family.

"And don't give me that nonsense about making it on your own overseas. When you left, you were spending Ms. Blair's money. Even the funds for your first business venture after you became an adult came from Ms. Blair."

Samuel chuckled coldly. "My mother sent me abroad. If she didn't give me money, was I supposed to fend for myself? She's my mother. Isn't it her duty to support me?

"And now you want to act all righteous? This is a matter pertaining to the Sinclair family. Whatever happens between Sophia and me is our own business. What does it have to do with you, Marcus?"

"Oh, wow. Just when I thought you couldn't be any more shameless, you proved me wrong," Elijah interjected before Marcus could respond.

"Samuel, you must've peeled the skin off one side of your face just to slap it onto the other—one side thick, the other side shameless.

"Where were you when humanity evolved? Hiding in a cave? I can't believe a single-celled organism like you is actually capable of reasoning.

"Well, isn't that something—a bat is trying to dress up as a chicken.

"You really think going abroad was a hardship? Then, why the hell did you go? You should've stayed behind and let Sophia take your place! If you had stayed in the Sinclair residence, I doubt you'd even be alive today.

"Yet, you have the audacity to look down on Sophia. Ms. Blair would've been better off raising a dog than a son like you."

As Elijah spoke, he slapped Samuel across the face twice more. "If you love being abroad so much, what the hell did you come back for?"

"Marcus!" Samuel roared in fury. "Control your man!"

"Elijah, tear his damn mouth apart," Natalie commanded coldly. "A mouth that doesn't know how to respect women or family isn't worth keeping.

"Marcus, have Noah remove Samuel's name from our wedding guest list. From this day forward, neither the Holden family nor the Walker family will ever allow Samuel or his whore to step foot in our residences.

"Even an insult would be too good for you."

"Natalie!" Samuel's head buzzed from the beating, and the pain coursing through his body was impossible to ignore. But Natalie's words only fueled his fury.

He roared, "Are you Sophia's lapdog? Why are you fighting her battles?"

Natalie's lips curled into a smirk. "Elijah, beat him to death."

"Yes, Mrs. Holden."

Elijah became more energized and continued his assault on Samuel. As he punched Samuel, Elijah whined to Marcus. "Mr. Holden, Samuel just called Mrs. Holden a dog!"
