The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 724

Sierra pulled Sophia along so quickly that Sophia struggled to keep up. It wasn't until they entered the elevator that Sierra finally let out a sigh.

"Cee, why are you walking so quickly?" Sophia asked as she finally caught up. Remembering Zachary's words, she decided to ask directly. "Cee, what's going on between you and Sky?"

Sierra looked at her reflection in the elevator and sighed. "What do you mean? Sophia, that's not how you use that phrase. Just because I've been abroad for years doesn't mean my comprehension is bad."

Sophia pressed, "So what exactly is going on between you and Sky?"

Sierra fell silent for a long moment before finally saying, "Sophia, I have my own plans. I want to stay in Dithoria. I want to have the protection of my parents and our mom.

"Samuel made me see that even if you've known someone your whole life, even if you're childhood sweethearts, it doesn't mean you can trust them completely."

She paused briefly before continuing, "As for you and Zachary, I don't want to make assumptions, but you've said that Zachary was once your therapist. He knows everything about you and the Sinclair family.

"People's hearts change, and a psychologist knows how to play with them. Zachary might love you now, but who can say that love will last forever?"

Sophia asked, "So you intend to use Sky, right?"

Still holding Sky's jacket, Sierra hesitated before slowly nodding. "Yes, I admit it. I want to use him. After meeting Sky today, everything I did went as planned. Samuel doesn't just want Sinclair Group—he also wants all my parents' assets.

"My parents thought he was a good son-in-law, so they sold all their properties in Amberton and moved to Dithoria with the money. Well, you know what happened after we arrived in Dithoria. It's impossible for me to establish myself here as a lone woman."

Sophia felt her heart drop. Zachary had been right. Sierra was indeed planning to use Sky. However, Sophia didn't entirely agree with her methods.

After a moment, Sophia hesitantly spoke up. "Why not go to Marcus or Natalie? They'd be a better choice than Sky! He has a criminal record."

"Emma's dead," Sierra said flatly. "Sophia, Emma died in prison. Did you know that?"

"What?"

Sophia was shocked. She hadn't heard anything about Emma's death.

"Sophia, since you and Zachary started dating, you've stopped paying attention to things like this. You've let important information slip away," Sierra said with a small smile, and at that moment, the elevator doors chimed open. "We're here. Let's go home."

Sierra stepped out first, and Sophia hurried to follow.

Sierra continued, "I'm planning to buy a place in Causeway Bay tomorrow. I know Sky has a villa there, so I'm going to buy a house right next to his."

"Cee, don't get too involved with Sky," Sophia said, grabbing Sierra's hand. "You can't control a man like him."
