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.

Elijah the cupid đŸ˜‚...
This one gets us readers asking for more! Excellent story, great twists......
Hope Grandpa Charles lives long enough to see Marcus and Nat's children, please. It will make him happy to see life is still worth living and that he didn't fail raising Marcus at least. Let him be happy at least in this aspect. Thanks...
Finished till 538....Waiting for more...
This really hurts. I am confused if Yvette sent a msg saying old love to Charles through Charlene. Why isnt it in her confession. Or did she actually set vivian up into sleeping with that man? And later blackmailed vivian with it till vivian commited suicide? Did Yvetty yhinks Charles would marry her after vivians death but he remained loyal. Hence her anger?...
Hope Nat can cure Marcus' mom. Looking forward to new updates. Thank you...
