The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 219 This Restaurant Belonged to His Mother

Sky watched Natalie's retreating figure for a long moment before speaking coldly. "Drive back to the office."

"Yes, Mr. Walker."

At the next intersection, the driver made a U-turn. Through the window, Sky caught a glimpse of Natalie, who had just crossed the street.

"Mr. Walker, should we pick up Ms. Walker and take her back?" the driver asked hesitantly.

"Mind your own business," Sky replied icily. "She's more than capable of getting home on her own."

The driver said nothing more and focused on the road.

...

Natalie glanced around casually before heading in a certain direction. She wasn't

far from the Helianese restaurant she had in mind.

She had been willing to reconnect with her real family, but Emma? What relationship did Emma have with her?

Natalie had already allowed her to stay at the Walker residence, as long as they

kept out of each other's way. That was more than enough.

Whether Emma felt the same way, Natalie had no idea.

Either way, someone like Emma was never going to be her friend or sister.

The moment Natalie arrived at the Helianese restaurant, her phone chimed with a notification.

She pulled it out and saw a photo, a snapshot of her crossing the street just moments ago.

Along with the image was a message from Code Zero. "That idiot, Sky, just dumped you on the side of the road."

Natalie was rendered speechless. "Did you plant surveillance on me or something?" she replied.

Code Zero instantly responded, "Take a guess."

Natalie simply sent back a string of ellipses.

The number was just a sequence of zeros, so she had saved the contact as Code Zero.

Now, she was certain-whoever this was had been watching her all along. And it might not even be a single person, it could be an entire organization.

She sent another message. "Come out and meet me."

Code Zero's response was blunt. "No."

Natalie smirked. "What's wrong? Too ugly to show your face?"
