The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 383 What Right Do You Have to Call Them Mom and Dad?

Charlotte's eyes were red, but she remained firm in her decision. They had agreed not to hire a lawyer for Sky, and they would not go back on their word.

"Mr. and Mrs. Walker, Emma Meloney wants to see you both." An officer approached them and relayed the message.

William and Charlotte exchanged a glance before nodding. "Since we're here, let's go see her. Nat, come with us."

"Of course." Natalie agreed without hesitation.

She had already seen Emma once, but she was more than happy to accompany her parents for another visit.

The three of them entered the holding area.

Emma had only seen Natalie not long ago; she had broken down emotionally and cried during the visit. Her eyes were still swollen and red.

The moment she saw William and Charlotte, fresh tears spilled down her cheeks. "Mom, Dad-"

"Don't call us that." Charlotte's voice was laced with disgust. "Emma, your mother was Cindy Meloney, not me. I always wondered why Cindy treated you so well, as if she wanted to give you her very heart. Turns out, you were her biological daughter. Of course, she doted on you."

"No! Mom, you're my mother!" Emma sobbed.

She had just received her new identification-her name was no longer Emma Walker but Emma Meloney. Her household registration had been transferred to Cindy's hometown.

"Cindy wasn't my real mother! You're my mother!

Desperate, Emma turned to William. "Dad, look at me! I'm your daughter! You once said I was your most beloved daughter. That if I asked for the stars, you wouldn't just give me the moon-you'd give me the whole sky! Dad, I know I was wrong! Please, save me! I am not Cindy's daughter! I am not!"

"Emma Meloney, you're still in denial." William's voice was as cold as ice, devoid of warmth or mercy. "Your mother deliberately switched you with Natalie, allowing you to live in wealth and luxury while my real daughter suffered in the Langley family, used as nothing more than a living blood bank."
