The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 221 He Sees Emma's Cunning Side

Lincoln's sharp looks still held the same frigid detachment after he hung up the call. But as he turned to Natalie, his expression softened immediately, together with his tone.

"Don't worry, I'll have your back."

"Lincoln, I..."

Natalie was at a loss for words.

"It's fine, Nat. I can kind of understand what made things tense between you and Sky," said Lincoln as he drove. "It was because of Emma, right?"

Natalie was stunned again. She glanced at Lincoln with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

Lincoln couldn't be Code Zero who had been monitoring her all along, could he?

"I'm different from Sky, Natalie. I work in the entertainment industry, so I've dealt with women far more deceitful than Emma."

Lincoln reached out his hand, ruffling Natalie's hair. "I did give Emma a lot of love and affection when she was young. I think it was when she was eight that I discovered her cunning side.

"There was once when we were all invited to a party held by the Holdens. Sophia and Marcus were playing the piano together. When Emma saw it, she sent a helper to ask Sophia to head to the Holden Residence's backyard.

"Then, Emma pushed Sophia into the pool in the backyard."

Lincoln paused for a brief moment and continued, "I was watching everything unfold before me as it happened. I even heard her threatening Sophia. Ever since then, I couldn't see her as my sister anymore.

"Father and Mother still shower Emma with love, and Sky, too, spoils her completely, so I'm just there to keep the peace. I thought Emma was my biological sister, and it's always better to have a loving, peaceful home than one full of drama."

Lincoln forced a bitter smile as he spoke. "Besides, Emma was the only girl in the family. Everyone loves her. Whenever she does something wrong, she just needs to show a little bit of charm, and they'll forgive her."

"But it's different now." The bitter smile on Lincoln's face turned into a genuine beam. "I'm so glad to know that you're actually my biological sister. Sure, many men might fall for the sweet and innocent act, but not me. Just ignore Sky and Emma, Nat. You only have to keep in mind that in this family, Mason and I are the people you can always trust."
