The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 381 One Must Learn to Pay for Their Actions

Once she was done, Natalie turned and left. She had come to see Emma for one reason only—to let her know the truth. Cindy was her biological mother, and she had killed her with her own hands.

Even if Emma hadn't known before, Cindy had taken care of her for so many years in the Walker family. Yet, despite that, she had still been able to strike her down without hesitation. It was clear-Emma was ruthless and selfish to the core.

She kept saying she would take all the blame to protect Sky, but was it really because she loved him?

No. It was because Sky was her only hope. As long as he survived, she had a chance to live.

But now, Natalie had personally shattered that hope, ensuring that Emma would never rise again.

For her, there were only two possible outcomes-death or life imprisonment.

Emma's trial was approaching quickly.

Marcus had found the best lawyer in all of Dithoria State for Sophia. By then, whether it was Emma, Sky, or even Shane-the true rapist-none of them would escape justice.

Natalie stepped out of the enforcement office, her heart light. The sun shone warmly on her skin. She raised her hand, watching the golden light slip through her fingers. Everything felt bright and warm.

"Sweetie."

Lost in thought, she heard a gentle voice call out to her. Looking up, she saw William and Charlotte.

"Mom, Dad," Natalie greeted them sweetly. "You're here to see Sky?"

"Yes. Sweetie, would you like to come with us?" Charlotte's expression wasn't great, but she still smiled lovingly at Natalie.

"Sure." Natalie nodded, agreeing immediately. She wanted to see for herself how her parents would handle Sky.
