The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 293 That's Just Too Much Natalie and Marcus left the psychiatric center and returned to Walker Estate.

Natalie hadn't been gone for long. Since she left through the window and used the back paths, no one at the family gathering even noticed she'd stepped away.

When the guests didn't see her, they assumed she had gone to rest. As for Marcus, he wasn't the kind of person one could meet just because they wanted to. His absence didn't strike anyone as strange, either.

That said, people had noticed the interactions between Marcus and Natalie earlier. It was clear there was something different about the two of them. However, it wasn't the typical kind of chemistry one might expect between a man and a woman. It wasn't romantic.

The whole thing felt off. They seemed close, but their eyes gave away none of the warmth or affection that usually cwith it. It was more like they were two strangers who knew each other a little too well.

When Marcus and Natalie appeared again, they didn't even get a chance to mingle before Sky showed up and dragged Natalie away.

"Natalie," he started, his voice sharp. "Do you know which hospital they took Emma to?" Natalie pulled her wrist free from his grip, her voice calm and cutting. "Didn't you watch the news?" Sky blinked, his expression confused.

"I assumed you'd already seen it," she continued. "Oh, and by the way, Mom toldnot to call you my big brother anymore. But that feels a little rude, doesn't it? So how about I just call you Mr. Sky instead?" Natalie's eyes lingered on Sky's face, which was twisted in frustration and worry. She knew exactly what was going on. He was panicking over Emma.

Emma wasn't a nobody in the Walker family. After all, Sky had doted on her like she was his whole world. "Yeah, Kayla? What is it?" "Mr. Sky, I just saw the news. Emma's been taken into custody by the police, and her nis all over social media. It's trending, and not in a good way," Kayla said quickly, her voice brisk and professional.

"I've already sent you the links and videos. Oh, and I saw that Emma was picked up from Good Hope Psychiatric Center." Kayla was efficient and loyal. She'd worked for Sky since graduating college, and after years by his side, she understood just how important Emma was to him. The moment she saw the news, she'd made it her priority to inform him.

Sky hung up, opened the links Kayla had sent, and clicked on a video. In the footage, Emma was being wheeled out on a stretcher, desperately clutching a blanket to cover her face.

Reporters swarmed her, cameras flashing, and microphones shoved in her direction as they bombarded her with aggressive questions.

Sky didn't even make it through the whole video before shutting off his phone. His face was dark, his expression stormy.

"Natalie," he said through gritted teeth. "Why can't you let anything go? I already apologized to you on Emma's behalf. I've done everything you asked. Do you really have to push her to the edge to feel satisfied?" Before Natalie could answer, a shrill voice echoed from the grand entryway.

"You bitch! Natalie, you little tramp!" Emma's voice was piercing, her words venomous as she raged.

"Why did you even cback, huh? You should've died with the Langleys! They should've just killed you!" "How dare you cback here and try to steal my place as the heiress of this family? You don't deserve it! You're nothing but trash! I want you dead, do you hear me? Dead!" Her rant was relentless, and the words she spewed were ones Sky and the rest of the Walker family had never heard before.

Natalie shoved Sky aside and adjusted the gloves he'd yanked out of place earlier. Her voice was ice-cold. "I can see how much you care about Emma, Mr. Sky. But letremind you, I'm the one who was wronged here." She locked eyes with Sky, her gaze sharp enough to cut. "Tellsomething, Mr. Sky. If you all love Emma so much, why did you even bother going through all the trouble of bringingback here?" From across the room, Mason strolled over casually, inserting himself between Natalie and Sky. "Don't draginto this," he said, throwing a protective arm in front of Natalie. "I don't care about Emma." "Sky, what's your problem?" Mason said, shaking his head in disgust. "Listen to yourself. Did you even hear what Emma just said? Stop letting her manipulate you." He glanced back at Natalie, his expression softening briefly, before turning back to Sky. "Emma doesn't want Natalie back here. Hell, she probably wishes Natalie would drop dead. And you're still out here expecting her to play nice? You're dreaming." Sky shook his head, his voice tense as he said, "Natalie must've done something. Emma's not like this. She's always been kind and gentle. She wouldn't hurt a fly, let alone speak like that.

"Before Natalie cback, we were all happy. Emma was perfect. Natalie's the one who ruined everything. She pushed Emma to her limit!" Natalie let out a bitter laugh. "Oh, so now it's my fault? Emma cursesout, and I'm the problem?"

She turned to Mason, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "You hear that, Mason? It's because of mem apparently. Emma's learned to curse because I cback. So why haven't you learned how to curse at people, Mason?" Natalie sneered, her smile dripping with mockery. Her gaze toward Sky was as sharp and cold as ice.

Mason smirked as he stared straight

at Sky. At that moment, he didn't bother showing any respect for his eldest brother, Instead, he fired back Phother, tasteác, he fired back without hesitation. "Nat, you don't get it. I don't waste my breath on people.

I only cuss at animals. "The guy standing in front of you? Walking proof of what I'm talking about. Those eyes on his face are just for show. Dude's got a whole head but no brain to go with it." Mason scoffed and turned to Natalie. "Nat, stay back. You don't want to get any of that filth on you. It won't kill you, but it'll sure as hell make you sick.

"Getting played like a fool by sfake sweetheart, turning on your own sister for an outsider." Mason shot Sky a look of pure disdain. "Sky, if anyone here can't tolerate others, it's you." "Don't forget-Nat and the rest of us? We are biological siblings. If Emma had really been kind and treated Nat as her sister, do you think we would've done this to her? She did this to herself.

"And let's be clear-Emma's downfall wasn't Nat's doing. It's Marcus'. If you've got a problem, take it up with him.

So what the hell are you barking at Nat for?" Mason didn't wait for a response.

Instead, he pulled out his phone and dialed Marcus. "Hey, Marcus, Sky wants to challenge you to a fight over Emma. Oh, and he's been badmouthing you and Nat, saying she can't stand Emma. Marcus, you better stand up for Nat!" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
