The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 223

What William had just said wasn't just for Natalie—it was for Sky too.

Sky's expression wavered. At last, he managed to suppress his emotions.

Lincoln walked over to Natalie, ruffling her hair. "Don't worry, Nat. I'll be focusing less on my acting career and go back to working at Walker Group. I'll need your help taking care of my entertainment company. By then, you'll be the boss of the company," Lincoln said as he winked at Natalie, making the latter smile.

To the public, Lincoln was a top-tier actor with an icy demeanor. He was also the definition of an all-round artist for he was good at singing and dancing too.

His cold persona made it hard for others to approach him. However, he was the total opposite in front of Natalie. He was gentle and kind whenever he talked to her.

"No way! What about the clothing company we planned to give Nat if you let her take over your entertainment company?"

William gave Lincoln a knock on his head. "Can't you take care of both companies at the same time?"

"Taking care of both companies at the same time?" Lincoln's eyes widened in shock. "How could you say something so heartless, Father? I'd be dead on my feet!"

"Quit joking around." William chuckled. "As a brother, you shouldn't let your sister overwork herself. The company we planned to give Nat was just a thing to keep her occupied, and it was nothing too serious. You can take care of your entertainment company yourself."

"Alright, then." Lincoln was slightly disappointed since he really wanted to give the entertainment company to Natalie. After all, the yearly income from the company's artists alone was enough to support an ordinary person for decades.

But William had a point too. Natalie had been absent in their family for the past 20 years. They shouldn't exhaust her too much when she just came back.

Giving Natalie a company would keep her entertained, and she could get some hands-on experience too. Additionally, it was better to work for their own company instead of someone else's company.

William and Charlotte couldn't bear the thought of having Natalie intern somewhere else and getting ordered around.

Sky watched quietly as the others chatted before him, especially Natalie. She never said anything about whether she'd forgive him. Thus, Sky voiced again, "Can you forgive me just this once, Nat?"

Natalie cast a glance at Sky. In just a short amount of time, Sky had regained his composure. His facial features were similar to Lincoln's—handsome with a rugged charm.

She knew that, to Sky, she would never outrank Emma.

"We're a family." She smiled a little. "What's there to forgive, Sky?

"I understand that you feel bad for Emma, but I'm not jealous of her because I have Lincoln and Dad who care for me. But Sky, can you let Emma know that I'm not her sister? Please tell her not to bother asking about me or my preferences—it's none of her business.

"She doesn't have to do anything to flatter me as well because I won't accept it. I don't hate her, but I also won't treat her as my sister.

"Can you understand what I'm trying to say, Sky? I'll need to find a translator for you if you don't."

"Yes, I understand." Sky nodded lightly. "I'll tell Emma not to disturb you from now on."

"Great."

"Let me make myself clear again, Sky," William said sternly. "We didn't know we took the wrong daughter home back then, but now that we found our biological daughter, Nat should be the most loved person in our family.

"Whether it's you guys or Emma, none of you are more important than Nat. If anyone has a problem with it, they can leave the Walkers and fend for themselves.

"Your mother and I will provide everyone with a certain amount of start-up funds. The future will be in your own hands then."

After a quick pause, William continued, "That includes Emma, too. Your mother and I discussed it, and we would find Emma's biological parents for her. We went off track before, so let's steer things right this time."
