The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 116

Natalie's words carried a calm but merciless indifference. After hearing her response, Sky remained silent for a long moment.

When he finally spoke, a helpless smile touched his lips. Letting out a soft sigh, he chose not to press further.

Finally, he said, "Nat, I'll cooperate with you regarding Langley Group. "

"Alright. Thank you in advance, Sky."

As Natalie finished speaking, she turned to leave, but Sky quickly offered, "Let me give you a ride."

"There's no need, Sky. You're busy."

Glancing at her wrist, Natalie checked the time on her classic Patek Philippe women's watch, a gift from Grace for her 15th birthday.

On her 16th birthday, Grace's gift had been saving her life.

After that, Grace's birthday presents to her were always mini fruit tarts.

Grace, with the mind of a six-year-old child, only remembered the tasty and fun things.

To Natalie, no matter how rare or expensive the Walker family's gifts to her were, they could never compare to the love and care Grace had shown her.

Victor and Diana might have treated her poorly, but Grace's kindness far outweighed that. Grace had treated her even better than she did Victor, her biological son.

If the Walker family wanted to take her side by targeting Victor and Diana, Natalie had no objections.

But Langley Group was Grace's life work. And Victor, flawed as he was, was still Grace's only son by blood.

For Grace's sake, Natalie couldn't bring herself to destroy Victor and his family completely.

Sky noticed Natalie's subtle movement as she raised her wrist, his eyes immediately catching sight of her watch.

"Nat, do you like Patek Philippe watches?" he asked casually.

Natalie paused for a moment, then smiled faintly, choosing not to answer. "I'm heading out now."

"Alright, I'll walk you out," Sky offered.

He escorted Natalie toward the office door. Just as they reached it, however, his phone began to ring. Sky pulled it out, glancing at the screen. It was a call from Emma.

He let the phone ring, choosing not to answer. Instead, he continued walking Natalie to the elevator.

Once they reached it, and she stepped inside, Sky said, "Nat, I won't come down with you. But feel free to stop by anytime. I've already spoken to the front desk. Whenever you visit, they'll swipe you in."

"Got it. Thanks, Sky."

Natalie thanked him politely, not bothering to question why he hadn't taken the call.

As the elevator doors slid shut, Sky finally pulled out his phone and answered.

"Hello, Emma," he said.

"Sky, do you even want me as your sister anymore?" Emma's voice was thick with emotion, her words laced with fresh tears. It was clear she had been crying.

"What are you talking about? Of course, you're still my sister," Sky replied gently, his tone softening immediately at the sound of her distress.

"Dad told me you went traveling. How's it going? Are you having fun?"

"Sky, I've been gone for two days, and you finally think to ask me that? If I hadn't called you, would you have just forgotten about me?" Emma's frustration spilled over as her tears returned in full force.

"Sky, I may have left, but I feel horrible. I'm so scared. What if you all stop wanting me now that you have a real sister?"

"That's never going to happen," Sky said firmly, his voice filled with a quiet reassurance. "You'll always be my most cherished little sister."

Emma's sobs gradually subsided. Her voice trembled with uncertainty as she asked, "Really?"

"Really," Sky confirmed without hesitation.
