The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 222 He Does Not Care if Anything Happens to Her 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 expectto 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 hall this time. She didn't do anything to get on your nerves, did she?" Sky's tone becmore subdued. "Are you going to do the sto Emma now just because the Langleys kicked you out of their family after Selena cback?" 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 callthat; 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 addresslike 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.

"And you, Sky. You were the only one who wasn't welcoming when Nat cback. If you dislike it so much, you can just leave together with Emma. I have another four sons, and I don't necessarily need you to take over the company." After scolding Sky, William gripped Natalie's hand as he warmly smiled. Then, he uttered softly, "Don't worry, sweetie. I have your back." William added, "I won't have any objections even if you decide to kick Emma out of the family." Natalie's eyes welled up with tears uncontrollably. She had even prepared herself to confront Sky. However, it seemed like there was no need for that anymore.

William gently caressed Natalie's hair and patted her shoulder lightly. Then, he turned to Sky. "Apologize to your sister, Sky." William said indifferently, "If you dare abandon your sister like that again, you should break your own leg." Sky was breathing heavily in frustration. Still, he apologized to Natalie. "I'm sorry, Nat. It's my fault for leaving you in the middle of the road. Iwon't ask you to treat Emma as your own sister anymore. If you distike Emma, I'll have her move out." After pausing for a brief moment, Sky continued, "But Nat, I just wanted to say that Emma had lived with our family for 20 years. Although there isn't a blood tie between us, the familial bond is still incredibly strong.

"I can treat you as my sister, but what about Emma? She's my sister too. So do you think you can be more open- minded, and let Emma stay in the family?" "Wait," Natalie cut in. "I never said that I wanted to kick Emma out of the family, have I?" "But you won't even try to get along with her." "Why should I?" Natalie retorted aloofly. "You dote on Emma. That's your choice, and you have no right to askto provide the sthing for Emma."

"I didn't ask you to care for her." Sky took a deep breath and said, "Emmal is very sensible. She's been feeling so restless ever since you cback because she's afraid Father and Mother would kick her out. She even askedabout how she could please you, Nat. Emma has always seen you as her real sister." "Did Emma tell you these things herself?" Natalie let out a soft chuckle. The affection Sky had shown Emma was exactly what Mason had described to her.

"No, they were not. But I can tell from her hesitation." "Don't waste your ttalking to him, Nat," said William as he pulled Natalie over, eyeing Sky disdainfully. "Lincoln, scale back your acting career. Go back to work at the company." "Understood, Father," Lincoln replied immediately. He winked at Natalie as if he was saying, "Look, I told you every man in the family has their heads screwed on right, except for a dumbass like Sky." Natalie couldn't help but grin at Lincoln. It was indeed a nice feeling to have people backing her up.

She didn't even have to do a thing; William and Lincoln solved it all for her.

Sky bit his tongue and decided not to argue further after hearing what William had ad said.

Looking at Natalie, he uttered softly, "I'm sorry, Nat. I wasn't being considerate. Can you forgivejust this once?" Natalie shifted her gaze to William, only to find him looking at her for

lovingly. "You don't need to be doubtful or scared at home, Nat. You m can choose to forgive him, not-it's NO to f totally up to you. No one can force you to do anything you dislike, including your mother and I." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
