The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 115 As Family, We Have Your Back

Natalie's question caught Sky off guard, his expression flickering with surprise. However, he quickly relaxed and let out a soft laugh. "It seems nothing can be kept from you."

He explained, "You're right. EM Legacy is under Emma's name, but since she's still in school, it's just a practice project for her. As for the decision to have EM Legacy intercept Langley Group's projects—that was entirely my call."

Sky's tone turned more serious as he continued, "Nat, we were furious when we found out how Victor and Diana treated you in the Langley family-using you like a pawn and subjecting you to endless abuse."

He added, "Langley Group may be Amberton's wealthiest company, but Victor isn't a competent businessman. I investigated and found that Langley Group only exists because of Mrs. Langley Senior. She built that company, and it survived several crises solely because of her efforts.

"The shares you hold were given to you by her, making you the largest shareholder in Langley Group. Originally, I wanted to drive the Langley family into bankruptcy, but I held back because of your stake in the company."

Sky sighed and leaned back slightly. "Honestly, I was planning to discuss this with you. I didn't expect you to confront me about it so soon."

His tone softened as he looked at Natalie with a mix of guilt and affection. "You suffered so much in the Langley family, and none of us knew. Now that you're back with us, there's no way we'll let you be bullied again."

Sky's gaze became more earnest as he asked, "Nat, do you want Langley Group to survive?"

"Langley Group is Grandma's legacy," Natalie said calmly, reclining on the couch. Her posture was relaxed, but her eyes were distant. "I promised her I wouldn't let anything happen to it."

Sky nodded in understanding. "Got it. I'll make sure my people stop targeting Langley Group. But Nat, people like Victor and Diana aren't worth your protection."
