The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 381

Once she was done, Natalie turned and left. She had come to see Emma for one reason only—to let her know the truth. Cindy was her biological mother, and she had killed her with her own hands.

Even if Emma hadn't known before, Cindy had taken care of her for so many years in the Walker family. Yet, despite that, she had still been able to strike her down without hesitation. It was clear—Emma was ruthless and selfish to the core.

She kept saying she would take all the blame to protect Sky, but was it really because she loved him?

No. It was because Sky was her only hope. As long as he survived, she had a chance to live.

But now, Natalie had personally shattered that hope, ensuring that Emma would never rise again.

For her, there were only two possible outcomes—death or life imprisonment.

Emma's trial was approaching quickly.

Marcus had found the best lawyer in all of Dithoria State for Sophia. By then, whether it was Emma, Sky, or even Shane—the true rapist—none of them would escape justice.

Natalie stepped out of the enforcement office, her heart light. The sun shone warmly on her skin. She raised her hand, watching the golden light slip through her fingers. Everything felt bright and warm.

"Sweetie."

Lost in thought, she heard a gentle voice call out to her. Looking up, she saw William and Charlotte.

"Mom, Dad," Natalie greeted them sweetly. "You're here to see Sky?"

"Yes. Sweetie, would you like to come with us?" Charlotte's expression wasn't great, but she still smiled lovingly at Natalie.

"Sure." Natalie nodded, agreeing immediately. She wanted to see for herself how her parents would handle Sky.

No matter what, parents could never truly ignore their children. She worried that after seeing Sky, William and Charlotte might soften.

However, if they did, there was nothing she could do. All she could do was let the lawyers handle it to the best of their ability.

"Sweetie, don't worry. Your dad and I won't go soft on Sky." Charlotte seemed to understand what Natalie was thinking. Even before meeting Sky, she reassured her in advance.

"That's right, Nat. Don't worry," William added. "Sky made his own mistakes, and your mom and I have made it clear—he's on his own for this one."

He continued, "We're not hiring a lawyer for him. The law will take its course, and whatever judgment comes, he'll have to face it. He needs to learn that he must bear the consequences of his actions."

"Mom, Dad, I never said anything. Let's go now." Natalie smiled and linked arms with Charlotte. "Actually, even if you weren't coming, I was planning to visit Sky myself."

To see how miserable and pathetic he was now. To see if his mind had finally cleared.

"Let's go. We knew you cared about him," Charlotte said. She held Natalie's arm but didn't respond to the implication in her words.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Sky's room. Since he was injured, he was still being treated in the word of the enforcement office.

When he saw his parents and Natalie enter, his face turned pale, shifting from one shade to another.

"Sky, how are you feeling?" Charlotte stepped forward, her gaze complex.
