The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 383

Charlotte's eyes were red, but she remained firm in her decision. They had agreed not to hire a lawyer for Sky, and they would not go back on their word.

"Mr. and Mrs. Walker, Emma Meloney wants to see you both." An officer approached them and relayed the message.

William and Charlotte exchanged a glance before nodding. "Since we're here, let's go see her. Nat, come with us."

"Of course." Natalie agreed without hesitation.

She had already seen Emma once, but she was more than happy to accompany her parents for another visit.

The three of them entered the holding area.

Emma had only seen Natalie not long ago; she had broken down emotionally and cried during the visit. Her eyes were still swollen and red.

The moment she saw William and Charlotte, fresh tears spilled down her cheeks. "Mom, Dad—"

"Don't call us that." Charlotte's voice was laced with disgust. "Emma, your mother was Cindy Meloney, not me. I always wondered why Cindy treated you so well, as if she wanted to give you her very heart. Turns out, you were her biological daughter. Of course, she doted on you."

"No! Mom, you're my mother!" Emma sobbed.

She had just received her new identification—her name was no longer Emma Walker but Emma Meloney. Her household registration had been transferred to Cindy's hometown.

"Cindy wasn't my real mother! You're my mother!

Desperate, Emma turned to William. "Dad, look at me! I'm your daughter! You once said I was your most beloved daughter. That if I asked for the stars, you wouldn't just give me the moon—you'd give me the whole sky! Dad, I know I was wrong! Please, save me! I am not Cindy's daughter! I am not!"

"Emma Meloney, you're still in denial." William's voice was as cold as ice, devoid of warmth or mercy. "Your mother deliberately switched you with Natalie, allowing you to live in wealth and luxury while my real daughter suffered in the Langley family, used as nothing more than a living blood bank."

"And now, you still dare to call us Mom and Dad? I didn't kill you myself, and that's already an act of mercy. You were never part of the Walker family. Your very blood is tainted."

"No! It's not like that! It's not!" Emma screamed, sobbing hysterically. "That's not true!"

"Then tell me. Can you swear that you didn't instruct Shane to harm Sophia?" William's voice turned even colder. "Can you swear that you didn't push Sky to condone your evil?

"Emma, even if Cindy wasn't your biological mother, she raised you with care. She treated you as well as any real mother would. And yet, you still killed her without hesitation. Someone as ruthless and cruel as you could never be part of the Walker family.

"You orchestrated Shane's attack on Sophia. You killed your own mother. And you dragged my son down with you. Count your sins yourself. Do you even deserve to call yourself human?

"Emma, what right do you have to call us your parents? What right do you have to ask us to save you? You think we came to see you because we still care about you?"

"No. We came to make one thing very clear. Abandon any thought of relying on the Walker family ever again. Emma Meloney, you brought this upon yourself. You deserve everything that's coming to you."

William's words were sharp, each one cutting deeper into Emma's heart. Her face paled with every sentence, until all color drained from her entirely.

"Charlotte, Nat, let's go." Without a second glance, William turned on his heel and called for his wife and daughter to leave.

"Mom! I know I was wrong!" Emma lunged forward and grabbed Charlotte's hand, gripping it tightly. "I really know I was wrong! Mom, please! Give me one more chance! I promise I'll change! I'll be a good person!"

She sobbed uncontrollably, clinging to Charlotte as if she were her last lifeline. "Mom, I'll take all the blame! I'll say that everything was Shane's and my doing! I'll clear Sky's name. I won't let anything happen to Sky! Mom, please, save me just one last time!"

"Let go." Charlotte took a deep breath, then forcibly pried Emma's fingers off her. "Sky made his own mistakes. He doesn't need your fake confessions. You can't take the blame for him even if you wanted to.
