The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 331

"What exactly did Emma do to Sophia?" Mason asked, feeling confused. "Natalie, did I miss something? What's going on?"

Natalie took a deep breath, trying to steady her emotions. "Mason, let's go to my room to talk. This isn't something we should discuss out here."

"Alright," Mason agreed.

"Are Lincoln, Hector, and Timothy home? Call them up too. We need to have a family meeting," Natalie said firmly.

"They're here. I'll go get them," Mason replied. "What about Sky? Should we call him too?"

"No," Natalie said coldly, her expression darkening at the mention of Sky.

She had thought he'd changed after what happened at the charity event, but now it was clear that his behavior only shifted when Emma wasn't involved. The moment Emma was in the picture, Natalie meant nothing to him.

She should have known better than to hold any hope for Sky.

"Mason, do you know which Sinclair property Sky moved Emma to?" Natalie asked.

"Yeah, it's the one Sophia owns in the southern suburbs. That area hasn't been developed yet, so it's pretty remote. Sophia got it because Ruby didn't want it—Sophia always ends up with the scraps Ruby doesn't care about," Mason explained.

"After all, Sophia was engaged to Sky before, so even though the Sinclairs didn't like her, they couldn't completely neglect her when it came to assets."

Mason had been about to leave to gather the others, but he paused and added, "What Sky's doing is just wrong. How dare he? I only found out this afternoon that you were bullied at the charity event, and then Mom and Sky went to break off the engagement with the Sinclairs.

"If the engagement is off, then Sky and Sophia are done, right? So, why does he have the nerve to move Emma into Sophia's property? Is it just because Sophia gave him a spare key before? This is so shameless."

Natalie agreed wholeheartedly, but she was too angry to even muster the energy to curse. "Mason, I'll wait for you in my room."

"Got it. I'll go get the others," Mason said. "Oh, and should we tell Dad and Mom about this?"

"Not yet," Natalie replied, rubbing her temples.

Their parents had already made their stance clear, but Sky was still stubbornly refusing to see reason. Telling their parents would only result in Sky getting punished again, but it wouldn't change his blind loyalty to Emma.

Natalie couldn't shake the thought—why did Emma get to live in Sophia's house? The idea gnawed at her, fueling her frustration. Emma, who had caused so much pain and chaos, didn't deserve such comfort or protection.

Natalie carried the boxes up to the fifth floor and into her room. While waiting for her brothers, she quickly took photos of the sketchbooks and sent them to Federrick. Almost instantly, Federrick replied with an address and a phone number, instructing her to mail the items there.

Natalie acknowledged the message and stashed the boxes under her bed.

A short while later, the doorbell rang. Natalie got up to answer it and found her four brothers standing outside. They were dressed in casual homewear, and as they entered, Lincoln led the way, followed by the others in order of age.

"Natalie, tell us what you need us to do," Lincoln said, taking charge. "Mason gave us a rough idea of the situation, and my contacts have already filled me in on the details. That scumbag Sky has no shame."
