The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 745

After Samuel finished shouting, Samantha just stared at him for a long while before letting out a cold laugh.

"Fine! If that's how you want it, then so be it. I guess there's no need for you to stay in a high-rise apartment either. Let's move you to Sophia's villa out in the suburbs."

As she spoke, she turned and knocked on Jonathan and Melissa's bedroom door. "Jonathan, Melissa, come out. I've decided to send Samuel to Sophia's villa in the suburbs.

"After all, he's my son, and he claims to love Cee deeply, refusing to divorce her even if it kills him. So we'll send him out there. If we all move there together, we can at least keep an eye on each other. It might be better that way. What do you all think?"

"Sounds good to me! I have no objections," Sierra said with a smile right away. "I'll start packing now. Dad, Mom, you should get ready too."

"Alright." Jonathan and Melissa quickly voiced their agreement and went to pack.

Samantha's gaze turned cold as she looked at Samuel. Having calmed down a bit, Samuel stared back just as coldly. "Mom, don't tell me about how hard your life was here. Everything you suffered was because you were weak and incompetent."

He gritted his teeth and said each word slowly and clearly. "If you hadn't been so weak back then, you would've beaten that homewrecker, Julia. Then, I wouldn't have been sent abroad, and Sophia wouldn't have been bullied.

"You're pinning the blame on me now, are you? That's laughable. The one who should be reflecting here is you, the so-called mother.

"You were the rightful wife, yet you let a mistress push you into hiding in a convent. You later relied on Sophia to deceive Marcus, then depended on Natalie's forgiveness. That's the only reason you survived and made it this far.

"What right do you have to call me cold and heartless? Aren't I just following the example you set?

"If you were a good mother, you wouldn't have sent me away and wouldn't have left Sophia to fend for herself against Julia and Ruby.

"There are so many mothers who leave with nothing while managing to protect their children. Why couldn't you? You would rather be forced into a convent by Ivan and Julia than leave them.

"And now you're here trying to act all noble and righteous? Was it my idea to be sent abroad? Since you sent me there, wasn't it your responsibility to support me? Wasn't sending money your obligation?

"As for Sophia being bullied—again, that's because of you. Because of your incompetence, she had to suffer humiliation and protect you at the same time. If she had been more selfish and stopped caring about you, don't you think she could have lived a completely different life?

"You say I take after Ivan. Well, don't I take after you, too? You're not exactly a saint yourself." He gritted his teeth as he went on.

"Now you get to play the good guy, acting like I'm nothing but a lost cause. Who do you think I inherited all this from? It's you and Ivan! You did give me money, sure, but don't forget that you chose to send me away.

"It's because you were weak that Cee and I were stuck overseas for so many years. It's because you were weak that Sky didn't value Sophia, that she was bullied by that fake heiress from the Walker family, and humiliated by their maids.

"When Julia and Ruby bullied Sophia, did you stand up to them? Did you dare lay a hand on them the way you just beat me? You only dared to hit me because I'm your son. It's not because you're strong or righteous. Deep down, you're just as selfish and low as the rest of them."

After he poured out everything he had bottled up, he pressed the button on his wheelchair and rolled toward the elevator.

At this point, Sierra was standing at the door with Jonathan and Melissa, overhearing everything Samuel said. When she heard that last part, she froze.

"You're all criticizing me for being unable to put myself in someone else's shoes. Well then, let me ask you this—if it were me who had been with another woman, would you truly be able to accept me with no resentment at all?"

Samuel locked eyes with Sierra. "Answer me, Sierra. Can you honestly say you could accept me like you did before, without even a trace of resentment?"

Sierra was at a loss for words. Just the thought of it made her realize she could never truly forgive him, not after how deeply she had once loved him.

And when you loved someone that much, betrayal was something you could never truly tolerate.

"You don't have to bother moving me to Sophia's suburban villa either," Samuel added with a cold laugh. "I know that someone died there before."

"If something bothers me, I'll say it out loud. You all call me a monster, but what about yourselves? Aren't you just a bunch of hypocrites?

"You can tell Sophia she doesn't need to send Sky after me. Once my legs heal, I'll leave. If Dithoria State and you lot don't welcome me here, then fine. I won't keep sticking my neck out just to get slapped in the face."
