The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 267

Emma shot a pleading gaze at Noah. She had loved Marcus since she was young and often kept an eye on him from afar. As for those working for Marcus, she already knew all of them very well.

Aside from Ethan, Elijah and Noah were the ones Marcus relied on the most. Ethan was Marcus' assistant, while Elijah and Noah were Marcus' personal bodyguards.

Ethan worked for Marcus openly. Elijah and Noah would sometimes operate on Marcus' behalf in public and behind the scenes.

Though Ethan had more influence over work-related affairs, Elijah and Noah had the upper hand when it came to personal matters. After all, they had grown up with the Holdens and were trained from a young age before being assigned to protect Marcus. Despite being bodyguards, they seemed more like brothers to him.

Aside from being less talkative, Noah was also much more aloof and ruthless than Elijah. Elijah had a sharp tongue and spoke ruthlessly, but he was actually quite softhearted.

Emma gazed at Noah while biting her lip, her eyes bloodshot. Tonight would definitely be a sleepless night for her.

She lay in the hospital bed in excruciating pain while everyone at the Walker residence would be enjoying a horse feast. Though she wasn't there, she could imagine the lively atmosphere.

"Ms. Emma, it's no use begging me," Noah said nonchalantly, his expression remaining blank. "Mr. Holden said he was never close to you before, nor would he be now or in the future."

He continued, "He also said that the way you look at him makes him uneasy. He's even more disgusted by the way you drugged him.

"Ms. Emma, although you aren't Mr. and Mrs. Walker's biological daughter, you did grow up with the Walkers for the past 20 years. How could you not have learned any basic manners and morals?"

While speaking, Noah's gaze was filled with confusion. "Are your genes the reason why the darkness is always within you even though you're living in a good environment?"

Emma bit down harder on her lip. After some time, she slowly lay on the hospital bed again and covered herself with the blankets. She shut her eyes and said nothing.

Noah smirked before dragging Gabriel forward. "Ms. Emma, do you have anything more to say to your helper? After this, I don't know if you'll ever meet again."

"Ms. Emma, Ms. Emma. Open your eyes and look at me," Gabriel yelled. "Ms. Emma, I'll always be loyal to you. My loyalty will never change.

"No matter who the Walkers think their heiress is, you'll always be the heiress to me. Who does Natalie think she is? You are the true heiress of the Walker family, Ms. Emma."

Hearing Gabriel's words, Emma opened her eyes again and met Gabriel's gaze.

Gabriel immediately broke into a satisfied smile. "Ms. Emma, don't worry. Even if the Walkers don't want you anymore, Cindy and I still love you."

"Gabriel, don't do something stupid because of me," Emma choked out. "I'm just happy you feel that way. Just don't ever do anything foolish." Emma emphasized while looking at Gabriel. Her pitiful gaze held a subtle, sharp glint.

Gabriel gazed at Emma with adoration and admiration. "Ms. Emma, don't worry. I won't do anything foolish. I want to continue living and serve you well in the future."

"I don't want you to help me," Emma replied. "I want you to live well."

"Okay, that's enough of this nonsense." Noah dragged Gabriel out like he was nothing and took him out of the hospital room.
