The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 222

Natalie and Lincoln went back into the villa, only to see Sky sitting on the couch with a dark expression.

Then, Sky's gaze shifted to Natalie, and the latter met his gaze fearlessly. In the next instant, Lincoln stepped in front of Natalie.

"Sky, mind your gaze when you're looking at your sister."

Lincoln said in a cold voice, "We don't care what you think, but you can't force Natalie to do what she doesn't want."

"Did you snitch to Lincoln, Natalie?"

Sky stood up and then spoke. "What did I force you into? Tell me."

Natalie stepped aside, facing Sky calmly. "Didn't you expect me to like Emma just because you like her, Sky?"

"So you're going to get rid of Emma now that you're back, huh? Emma went on a trip to unwind, and she's not even home all this time. She didn't do anything to get on your nerves, did she?"

Sky's tone became more subdued. "Are you going to do the same to Emma now just because the Langleys kicked you out of their family after Selena came back?"

Natalie scoffed in disbelief. Before she could speak, William appeared out of nowhere, walking up to Sky and slapped his face.

After the slap, William pointed at Sky as he reprimanded, "Who do you think you are, talking to your sister like that, Sky?"

"Father—"

"Don't call me that; I don't acknowledge a son like you," William interrupted Sky. Then, he grabbed Natalie's hand and checked it thoroughly. "You aren't hurt, are you?"

Natalie shook her head. "No, Mr. Sky and I didn't get into a fight."

"Mr. Sky?" Sky's expression turned sour the moment he heard Natalie's words. "Father, you caught that, right? How could Natalie address me like that? I'm her eldest brother."

"You're not even living up to the role of the eldest brother. She's already showing you respect by calling you that."

Seconds later, William took out his phone. "Gorge, cancel all of Emma's cards. Let everyone know that without my authorization, no one is allowed to give her any money."

"Father, how could Emma live on her own if you do this? She's still on vacation, and she needs money to spend on her trip."

Sky's tone grew a little gentler. "Emma did nothing wrong, Father. You don't need to be this harsh with her."

"She did nothing wrong, really?" William refuted in a detached voice. "Sky, don't think I haven't seen through your thoughts ever since you found out Emma isn't our family's biological daughter.

"I'm telling you now, the real daughter your mother and I have is Nat. We've pampered Emma all her life, but she owes all her blessings to Nat. She would be of no importance if it wasn't for Nat."

William was being very blunt. "Nat's kindness is why we're still taking care of her instead of kicking her out. We've raised her for 20 years and showered her with love and care, and she still wasn't grateful for it. She even tried to stir up trouble with Nat. Since she doesn't know how to appreciate things, I won't care if something happens to her.
