The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 224

As William's stern voice rang, Sky fell to his knees right away.

"Father, I don't think we're being fair to Emma."

"What do you mean?"

William walked around the desk and stopped in front of Skylar.

"I'm very disappointed in you, Sky. You're going to be punished."

"I'd still say this even if I'm going to be punished," Sky responded firmly. "Emma saw you and Mother as her beloved parents for 20 years, always following us brothers around like a little tag-along as she grew up. Did you forget how cute she was when she was still a child, Father?"

"My daughter was having her blood drawn by the Langleys when Emma was being all sweet and obedient in front of us. That's the only thing I know."

William then frowned and slapped Sky's back as punishment.

"You only feel bad for Emma, but you never empathize with your biological sister. Tell me, what kind of hardships have Emma faced growing up? She was pampered both materially and emotionally in the family!

"Now think about your biological sister who had been transfusing blood to Diana when she was with the Langleys. Grace even took advantage of her, using Natalie for her own gain. The Langleys sold Natalie out, yet they still want her to clean up their mess!

"Your biological sister was being abused when Emma was acting all cute, charming us. Tell me, Sky, what struggles has Emma gone through?"

William added, "Are you telling me my daughter can't even come back to her own home because of Emma now?"

He scolded as he slapped Sky once more.

Sky was gritting his teeth, suppressing the pain. "That's not what I meant."

"Oh, that's exactly what you meant." William's face was clouded with fury.

"Nat didn't even want to come back to us in the beginning. She waited forever at the front gate when she first arrived at our house, all because of your mother's oversight. I checked the surveillance afterward, and it was Emma who deliberately held your mother back, preventing her from greeting Nat.

"Didn't we care about Emma, Sky? Think carefully. Didn't we comfort her after she left the house, crying with her luggage when Nat came home? Did she really treat Nat like her own sister?"

Numerous loud slaps echoed in the room.

Soon, William was drenched in sweat.

"I don't care how you're going to pamper Emma, but as long as I'm still alive, you're not going to have a say in the Walker family."

William then took a step back as he saw blood seeping through Sky's shirt.

"Today's punishment is the first warning for you. If you do anything that hurts Nat for Emma or anyone else, I'm not going to take it easy on you," William remarked aloofly.

"I understand, Father."

"Also, I don't want to hear you speaking up for Emma anymore. She's struggling, but does Nat have it any easier?"

"I got it, Father."

"Get lost!"

"Okay." Sky stood up, gritting his teeth through the pain, and walked out of the study.

As soon as he exited the room, he stumbled uncontrollably. Cindy immediately went up to support him. "Mr. Sky, are you okay?

"Gosh, your back is bleeding, Mr. Sky!"

Cindy was overwhelmed with worry. "Have a seat, quick. I'll get the medical kit."

"Get the family doctor." Sky pinched the bridge of his nose. If only he had known what would happen. He wouldn't have turned around halfway to the office.
