The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 229 What Do All Those Years of Sibling Bond Mean to You

Emma stared at Natalie, who remained calm and indifferent, dividing the jackfruit without sparing her a single glance. It was as if everything unfolding had nothing to do with her.

But this all started because of Natalie!

Tears welled up in Emma's eyes as she pursed her lips, cautiously asking, "If I kneel on the shells, will Natalie forgive Cindy?"

She turned to Lincoln and pleaded, "Lincoln, Cindy only said those things because she was worried about me. She couldn't stand to see me wronged, and she acted on impulse. She's spent her entire life serving our family and raising me since I was a child.

"Now that you've fired her, what is she supposed to do? Can't you talk to Natalie and ask her to forgive Cindy this once? I promise she won't make the same mistake again."

When Lincoln didn't respond, Emma turned to Natalie. She stepped forward carefully, avoiding the jackfruit shells, and kneeled before her. "Natalie, I'm begging you, please forgive Cindy just this once!"

Natalie stepped back, avoiding Emma's hand as it reached for her pant leg. "Ms. Emma, if you have a problem with your hearing, I recommend a visit to an ENT specialist," she said coolly.

"Ms. Natalie," Emma began, swallowing her pride. "It's my fault. I didn't manage my helper properly, and Cindy spoke out of turn. Ms. Natalie, please tell me what I need to do to make things right and have Cindy forgiven so Lincoln doesn't fire her."

She had lived in the Walker family for 20 years, yet now she found herself reduced to an outsider, begging Natalie like this. The humiliation burned within her, and she silently vowed to make Natalie pay for it.

Natalie looked at Emma with an unreadable gaze. Emma's makeup was top- quality—she had cried so much, yet it hadn't smudged. Her delicate, tear-streaked look made her seem even more fragile and pitiful.

"Stop trying to guilt-trip Nat," Lincoln said, taking a few steps forward and grabbing Emma by the arm. "You're smart enough to avoid the jackfruit shells."

Emma stomped her foot, glaring at him with resentment. "Lincoln, I grew up with you! How can you treat me like this? What do all those years of sibling bond mean to you now?"
