The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 602

Sheldon clutched his glass, sobbing uncontrollably at the dining table. "I'm really so sad. Why do the good people die, and not the bad ones? What did Mr. Holden Senior do wrong? Why did he have to hear those words from Yvette? Why? It shouldn't have been Mr. Holden Senior who died!"

Suddenly, Wesley spoke up. "Sheldon, have you seen Cassie recently? I've been trying to find Cassie ever since I returned to Dithoria State from The Herbalist's Sanctuary, but I've had no luck contacting her.

"I tapped into our connections and even asked people I know in Dithoria State to help, but no one knows where she is." Then, he let out a long sigh. "Sheldon, you knew I was using the family's resources, didn't you?"

Sheldon nodded through his tears. "Yes. I know, Mr. Wesley. I've always known."

"Do you know where Cassie is?" Wesley asked, staring at Sheldon. "Sheldon, did you hide Cassie?"

Sheldon shook his head vigorously. "I didn't hide Cassie. I don't know where she is. If I knew where Cassie was, I'd kill her. I'd kill her to avenge Ms. Laura and Mr. Holden Senior."

Sheldon's expression twisted with rage as he laughed and cried at the same time.

Wesley and Marcus exchanged a puzzled look. Could they have been wrong about him?

"Mr. Wesley, Mr. Marcus, if you know where Cassie is, you must tell me. I need to ask her why she did such horrible things. I need to ask her how shameless she can be to fall in love with her own brother." Sheldon sobbed, gripping the wine bottle.

"I hate Cassie so much. She tore our family apart. And Vivian, that bitch… Mr. Holden Senior loved her so much and treated her so well. How cruel did she have to be to betray Mr. Holden Senior? I hate those two so much…"

Sheldon's face was smeared with tears and snot as he cried uncontrollably.

Marcus and Wesley exchanged another glance before speaking in unison. "Sheldon, you're drunk."

Sheldon shook his head. "I'm not drunk. I'm fully awake. I know exactly what I'm saying. Mr. Wesley, it was Cassie who caused you and your family to be separated for so many years. It was Cassie who caused Ms. Laura so much pain. It was Cassie who let Yvette get the upper hand!"

He then grabbed Wesley's hand, pleading, "You should never acknowledge Cassie as your sister again. If you continue to treat her kindly, you'll be betraying Mr. Holden Senior, Ms. Laura, Mr. Marcus and all the pain your family endured. Mr. Wesley, promise me! Swear to me that you'll never forgive Cassie!"

Seeing Sheldon in such an emotional state, Wesley quickly responded, "I promise you, Sheldon. Even if you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have forgiven her. If I find Cassie, I'll make sure she suffers. I'll make her pay for every bit of pain Laura has endured all these years."

Wesley's hatred for Cassie was equal to Sheldon's.

Hearing this, Sheldon finally nodded in satisfaction. "That's right. Cassie's an ingrate. She has none of the good Holden traits in her. People like her deserve to die."

Suddenly, Sheldon stood up, clutching the wine bottle in hand.

"I don't feel well... I'm going to rest," he muttered.

He glanced at Wesley and Marcus, forcing a wobbly smile. "Mr. Wesley, Mr. Marcus, have a few more drinks. Holden Residence hasn't been this lively in many years... I haven't felt this happy in so long."

With that, he mumbled, "Alright, then. Goodnight," before stumbling toward his room.

After Sheldon left, Wesley said, "Marcus, what do you think?"
