The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 747

Sierra took a deep breath and carefully typed out a reply to Natalie's message.

Sierra: "Ms. Walker, I'm sorry. I promise it won't happen again."

Natalie: "Ms. Remington, don't take the Walkers for fools."

Sierra put her phone away. She knew that whatever plan she had with Sky was officially dead.

Since Natalie had personally warned her against it, she figured she'd better apologize to Sky and explain everything. Otherwise, she'd have two fires to put out—Samuel and the Walker family. That would be a disaster waiting to happen.

She stood up and dialed Sky's number. It didn't take long for someone to pick up.

"Hello? Who's this?"

It wasn't Sky who answered, but another man with a low and pleasant voice.

"Hi, this is Sierra Remington. Is this Sky's phone?"

"Yeah. You're looking for Sky? Hold on.

"Sky, someone's looking for you."

"Who is it?"

"Sierra Remington."

Sierra could hear the conversation clearly. It was probably Hector speaking. She had heard Lincoln's voice before, and Natalie was still traveling with Mason and Timothy.

She soon heard Sky's voice over the line. "Hey, Sierra."

Sierra immediately pulled her thoughts together.

"Mr. Walker, I called to apologize to you." She didn't hesitate for a second. "I lied about some of the things I told you before. I was just trying to use you as a stepping stone to get into Lincoln's company.

"And I also thought of using you to help me divorce Samuel. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied to you or used you."

"Huh?" Sky sounded genuinely confused. "Sierra, what are you talking about?"

"Mr. Walker, I never called you by your first name when we were kids, and you never bullied me because of your sister. I made up some of that stuff."

Sierra knew that she had to be completely honest and wanted to say everything at once to get it over with.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Walker. I shouldn't have used you like that. It was wrong of me."

The line went quiet. Sky didn't say a word.

"You can yell at me, hit me, get back at me, even. I won't fight it," she added when the silence dragged on for too long. "I'm the one who lied and used you. Whatever you want to do in retaliation, I'll accept it."

"Forget it," Sky finally said. "If that's how it is, then I don't need to feel guilty anymore. I don't need to connect you with anyone or deal with your business anymore, right?"

"That's right." She let out a long sigh. "Mr. Walker, I'm really sorry. It was my fault to begin with."

"It's fine. I'm hanging up." And with that, Sky ended the call.

Sierra stared at the screen, listening to the empty dial tone. She wasn't sure what emotion she was feeling exactly, only that she suddenly felt much lighter.

"The one I owe the most is Sophia. How could he say that to me? How could he talk to me like that?"

"You've been through so much. Don't cry. Don't take Samuel's words to heart," Melissa said gently. "You know how it is—he and Cee were abroad for years. They never really got to be around their parents.

"He doesn't understand the struggles you went through. Sophia is doing well now, and you're doing better too. As for Cee, I'm sure she'll get the divorce.

"He's already repaid it, hasn't he?" Jonathan walked over and looked at Melissa with disapproval. "Marcus helped us find our biological daughter. That alone is a massive favor.

"You can't just keep leeching off him! You have to be grateful. Besides, Marcus isn't an idiot. He's not going to keep owing us forever."

Melissa fell silent after Jonathan's rebuke.

"And the Walkers aren't fools either," Jonathan added after a pause. "Cee, I didn't ask at the time when Samuel said those things earlier, but did you really meet with Sky?"

Sierra nodded. "Yes. Everything Samuel said is true. It was my fault, and I made a mistake. I shouldn't have underestimated the Walkers.

"I'm going to see Samuel now."

Jonathan quickly stepped forward. "Cee, let me go with you. I'm worried something might happen."

"Dad, I'm not a kid anymore. And Samuel isn't some horrible monster. Let me handle this myself."

She turned him down gently. "There are things I need to say to him alone."
