The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 352

Time crawled by as everyone waited anxiously. After what felt like an eternity, the operating room doors finally opened.

The doctor stepped out, and Natalie quickly rushed forward. "Doctor, how was the operation? How is she?"

"The operation was a success. The patient is in stable condition. She'll need to stay in the ICU for observation overnight, but she can be transferred to a regular ward tomorrow."

"Thank you, doctor. Thank you so much."

Natalie could feel the weight lifted off her shoulders as she thanked the doctor.

"Doctor, how is my brother? Is he okay?" Emma asked in a sobbing tone.

After tending to her injuries, Emma rushed over with tears streaming down her face.

"Mr. Sky is fine. The knife didn't hit any vital organs. His injuries are less severe than Ms. Sinclair's. He'll be transferred to a regular ward soon."

"I want to transfer him to a VIP ward. He can't stay in a regular ward." Emma's relief was palpable when she heard that Sky was fine.

"A family member can make the necessary arrangements with the front desk."

The doctor left after saying that as he still had other duties to tend to. He didn't have the time to chat with the family.

The moment the doctor walked away, the law enforcement authorities walked over and handcuffed Emma.

"Emma Walker, you're under arrest for multiple charges of assault, attempted murder and rape. Please come with us for further investigation."

Emma's face turned deathly pale in an instant. She stared at the operating room. Sky hadn't been wheeled out yet, but even if he was out here, he couldn't do anything to help her.

"Don't bother looking. Sky Walker is also suspected of assault and attempted murder. Once he wakes up, he'll be taken in for questioning as well."

The female officer had a serious look on her face, and the look of disdain and disgust directed toward Emma was evident.

As a woman herself, she had finished reviewing the chat history between Emma and Shane, as well as evidence such as photos and videos.

The female officer was so furious at Emma's malicious actions that she would've shot Emma dead on the spot if she had been given the chance.

"I want a lawyer. Get me a lawyer!" Emma looked at her brothers and begged, "Lincoln, Hector, please get me a lawyer. Shane did this. I had nothing to do with it. I didn't rape anyone. How could they accuse me of rape?"

"You ordered Shane to drug and assault the victim. You even instructed him to take videos to blackmail her. We have conclusive evidence. Emma Walker, let me remind you—instigating rape is punishable as rape," the officer said.

With an indifferent tone, the female officer said coldly, "Both you and Shane Morgan will be held accountable under the law."

"This has nothing to do with me. Shane was the one who committed the crimes. Why are you blaming me?" Emma shrieked while resisting arrest.

"Take her away."

The female officer didn't want to waste time arguing with Emma, so she ordered someone to take Emma away.

As Emma was taken away, still screaming and shouting, the officer walked toward Lincoln and stated, "Mr. Lincoln, once Sky Walker and Shane Morgan wake up, we will take them in for questioning as well."

Lincoln nodded. "Understood. The Walker family will fully cooperate with the investigation."

"Thank you for your cooperation."

"It's the least we can do."

After the officers had left, Sky was transferred to a private ward.

Meanwhile, Sophia was transferred to the ICU. Since she was a victim in this case, Natalie hired a lawyer to ensure she would come out unscathed.

As for Shane, he barely survived but was about to be arrested. Even though he had escaped death, he wouldn't have a good life ahead.

Natalie thought of Cindy and quickly asked, "What happened to Cindy?"
