The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 228 Emma Kneels Before Natalie

Cindy hurriedly brought the suitcase forward, but her heart was full of disdain for Natalie. She could understand Emma bringing gifts for William, Charlotte, and their sons, but Natalie didn't deserve such kindness.

Natalie had returned to claim everything that rightfully belonged to Emma, yet Emma still chose to be considerate, bringing her a gift and treating her kindly.

To Cindy, this was utterly undeserved. Of course, Cindy didn't dare voice her thoughts aloud. Whatever Emma instructed her to do, she followed without question.

"Ms. Emma, here's your suitcase," Cindy said as she handed it over.

"Thank you, Cindy," Emma replied with a polite smile.

She unzipped the suitcase and began to take out the gifts one by one.

"This is for Dad, this is for Mom, this one is for Sky, this is Lincoln's, Hector's, Timothy's, and Mason's..."

Emma picked up the last gift with both hands and respectfully placed it before Natalie. "This is for Nat."

Emma then turned her attention to Olivia, who was standing nearby. "You must be Natalie's friend! I'm so sorry—I didn't know you'd be here today, so I didn't prepare an extra gift. Please forgive me. Let's add each other on Instagram, and I'll make it up to you next time."

"Thank you, but there's no need," Olivia replied politely.

She scrutinized Emma subtly, sizing up the fake daughter of the Walker family, who had taken Natalie's place for 20 years. Emma appeared more polite and composed than Selena, but appearances could be deceiving. Olivia wasn't about to judge Emma's character based on a few gestures of kindness.

"By the way, where are Dad, Mom, Sky, and Timothy?"

Emma noticed that Natalie wasn't accepting her gift. She didn't get upset but instead patiently placed it in front of her again.
