The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 186

After Natalie finished speaking, Connie fell into deep thought. She had no idea whether Cassie and Sophia got along or not.

From the information she'd gathered, Cassie and Sophia weren't even close in age. They barely interacted before, essentially maintaining a superficial connection at best.

The fact that Sophia was pregnant and Cassie somehow knew—while the entire Walker family remained in the dark—was strange. If the two had been close, it wouldn't have been surprising. But given their distant relationship, it didn't make sense.

"Connie, think carefully," Natalie said, tossing a chocolate wrapper into the trash can after finishing her piece. "Back when Cassie was at Quinton Hospital, how did she act toward the doctor in charge of treating Mr. Holden Senior?"

"She was determined to push for Jessy to treat him," Natalie continued. "If she already knew someone as capable as Jessy, why go out of her way to look elsewhere?

"And as for Ms. Sinclair's baby, you don't even know who the father is. Assuming Ms. Sinclair was wronged, you're just taking their word for it. Connie, since when did you stop using your brain?"

Connie's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, but she didn't dare show anger. After a long pause, she mumbled, "I just thought… Well, since they told Mr. Holden Senior directly, Cassie wouldn't have the nerve to lie to him."

"That's just what you think," Natalie replied, unwrapping another piece of chocolate and breaking off half to hand to her. "The information you found on Cassie barely scratches the surface. It's all just what the Holden family wants outsiders to see."

Natalie pulled out the laptop Timothy had gifted her and opened it. Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she thoroughly checked for any issues with the device. Once she was satisfied it was clean, she loaded a program she'd written herself.

Connie watched Natalie type rapidly, mesmerized by her speed. Before long, Natalie turned the screen toward her.

"Sophia's secret boyfriend—Sky."

"What?" Connie gasped, wide-eyed. "The eldest son of the Walker family? CEO of Walker Group?"

"Yup," Natalie confirmed, her tone calm. "And he's… also my older brother."

Natalie smirked. When she'd first looked into the Walker family, she hadn't come across any mention of Sky having a girlfriend.

"If Sky is the father of Sophia's baby, there's no reason he wouldn't want the child. That leaves only one possibility—he's not the father."

Natalie grabbed her laptop again, typing even faster this time. Moments later, she found something even more intriguing.

"Connie, look at this."

"Huh?"

Connie leaned closer, her eyes widening as she read, "Sky and Emma… are way too close!"

Natalie chuckled softly. Emma being close to Sky didn't surprise her at all. Emma was the Walker family's pampered princess, and Sky, as the eldest brother, spoiled her the most.

The way the Walker family treated her, their biological daughter, compared to Emma, the adopted one, was glaringly obvious.

Sky's loyalty clearly leaned toward Emma. Of course, he kept his emotions in check and never outright opposed their parents.

"Ms. Walker, even for siblings, that's… a little too close, don't you think?" Connie muttered.

"It's none of our business," Natalie replied, closing the laptop screen and ruffling Connie's hair. "Go get some rest.

"Remember, you're the only one who should handle Mr. Holden Senior's medication. Brew it yourself, serve it yourself. Don't even trust Sheldon."

"Got it, Ms. Walker." Connie nodded earnestly.

"And be especially wary of Cassie."

"I understand, Ms. Walker."

Connie was tasked with personally preparing Charles' medication, ensuring he took it on time, and overseeing his meals before he consumed anything. Her vigilance was thorough.

Seeing that Connie took her instructions seriously, Natalie felt satisfied. She said, "Get some sleep."

"Goodnight, Ms. Walker."

"Goodnight."
