The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 283 Not Worthy of Being Called Brother

"How did I give birth to such a disgrace? How dare you force Nat to forgive Emma and make demands of Marcus of Nat?" Charlotte shouted at Sky.

Mason pulled Natalie to his side, gently patting her head. "Don't be afraid, Nat. Mother will stand up for you."

Natalie tilted her head slightly, her smile pure and untainted. "Mm, I'm not afraid."

Seeing her smile, Mason finally let out a sigh of relief, reassured that she was truly unharmed. He then turned to Marcus and said, "Marcus, thank you for protecting my sister."

Marcus, upon seeing Charlotte's arrival, gave a slight nod. "Mrs. Walker, my apologies for interfering in your family matters."

"No need to apologize. In fact, I should be thanking you for standing up for Nat when we weren't here," Charlotte replied, waving her hand dismissively.

Any lingering resentment she had about Marcus breaking off the engagement vanished in that instant.

Even as an outsider, Marcus could see how wrong Sky was. Yet as Natalie's biological brother, knowing full well how vicious Emma's intentions were, Sky still demanded that Natalie forgive her.

That was something Charlotte couldn't tolerate.

"Sky, you don't need to bother looking into Emma's biological parents anymore. With that brain of yours, filled with nothing but filth, I wouldn't put it past you to find them and then hide the truth from us.

"Let me make myself clear once the welcome party is over, I will have Emma change her last name immediately. She can take whatever name she likes, but she will never again carry the Walker family's name."

"Mother!"

Sky looked at Charlotte in disbelief, his face filled with shock.

"Yes, Emma made mistakes, but not to the point of death! You raised her for 20 years—she's your beloved daughter! Even if she were a cat or a dog, you wouldn't be indifferent to her! Emma is a living, breathing person! She's called you 'Mom' for 20 years-how can you be so heartless?"

"It's exactly because I raised her for 20 years that I'm so disappointed!" Charlotte's eyes were red with fury. She raised her hand and slapped Sky across the face. "If I raise a dog, at least it wags its tail at me. If I raise a cat, at least it provides me with comfort."

She continued, "And Emma? She's spent years eating the Walker family's food, drinking the Walker family's water, using the Walker family's best resources-tell me, what has she ever done for me?
