The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 272

In the hospital room, Emma was furiously hurling insults, as Natalie stood outside, serenely filming with her phone.

Noticing Marcus watching her, Natalie arched an eyebrow and returned his gaze. Seeing the mix of sympathy and hesitation in his eyes, she gradually let a smile form on her lips. It was a mysterious and deep smile.

For a brief moment, Marcus felt disoriented. The Natalie standing before him appeared refined—her skin was flawless, and her smile was stunningly enchanting, mesmerizing like a fairy.

Her striking eyes sparkled, captivating anyone who gazed into them, but they also carried a hint of aloofness. Both captivating and perilous.

After Emma finished her bout of shouting and throwing items around the hospital room, a nurse hurriedly approached.

Natalie put her phone away and raised an eyebrow at Marcus, who snapped out of his reverie. He quickly saved the recording and stashed his phone.

During their car ride to the hospital, they agreed that since they lacked definitive proof against Emma, they would fabricate some convincing yet false evidence to coax her into confessing.

Although Gabriel consistently claimed he had no involvement with Emma, Marcus and Natalie were convinced she was the mastermind.

However, Gabriel refused to acknowledge this, and Noah hadn't uncovered any solid evidence, so they decided to use this tactic to trick her into revealing the truth.

Surprisingly, even when confronted with the "evidence", Emma wouldn't confess.

It didn't matter if she denied it. Natalie and Marcus were prepared to wait outside the door for her to lose her temper and inadvertently reveal her mistakes.

As expected, they captured Emma's heated remarks aimed at Natalie.

"Let's go," Natalie said calmly.

Marcus gave a small nod, and they left the hospital one after the other.

Once outside, Natalie climbed into Hector's car, while Marcus entered his own car.

"Hector, take us to Holden Residence first," Natalie instructed, handing her phone to Hector. "Play the recording of Emma."

Hector had been napping and was still somewhat groggy. He rubbed his eyes and grabbed a wet wipe from the car's compartment. Once he wiped his face, he was finally fully awake. Only after this did he play the recording that Natalie had asked him to hear.

Emma's hysterical shouting immediately filled the car.

The word "bitch" echoed repeatedly, causing Hector's expression to turn grim. He stopped the recording before it ended.

He found it hard to believe that the Walker family's daughter, raised with so much care, money, and affection, could be so coarse and malicious.

"I'll inform our parents about this immediately," Hector said with a serious look. "Any affection I felt for Emma has vanished entirely this time."

Natalie smirked slightly and started the car, trailing behind Marcus' car.

"Hector, share this recording with the family group," she instructed.

"Alright," Hector agreed without delay and quickly sent the recording to their family group.

Shortly after, Charlotte sent a message in the group chat. "From this moment on, Emma is no longer allowed to set foot in this house. Change her last name immediately and issue a statement declaring that she has no further connection to the Walker family."

Taking a moment to gather himself, he answered slowly, "I wasn't holding my phone and didn't see it. Mother, what's going on?"

"Now, pay attention to your phone, listen to the recording, and then make your choice," Charlotte instructed before ending the call.

Sky inhaled deeply and played the voice recording he had already heard once. Amidst the noise of objects being thrown, Emma's voice resounded with her curses of "bitch" aimed at Natalie, revealing her deep-seated anger.

This time, Sky couldn't come up with any explanation or excuse for Emma in the family group chat. Hector had posted the recording, which meant he must have heard it himself. Sky couldn't argue that it was technologically fabricated meant to frame Emma.

After some thought, Sky slowly typed into the group: "I stand with Mother and Father. Does Nat know about this? I want to ask her what kind of compensation she wants. As her older brother, I can offer whatever it is."

His strategy was to calm Natalie for now. If she decided to be forgiving, then after reprimanding Emma and pleading for her, there might still be hope. However, if Natalie decided to escalate the situation, Emma would certainly have no chance at all.

After Sky sent the message, Hector informed Natalie, who was driving, "Nat, Sky wants to know what compensation you'd like, and he's willing to provide it."

Natalie smirked. "Is he trying to make up for Emma?"

Hector nodded with a sigh. "He seems to be."

He was concerned Natalie might think he was siding with Sky, so he quickly clarified his position. "Sky always takes Emma's side. Whenever she messes up, Sky is there to shield her.

"You could say that whenever Emma lands in hot water, Sky is the one who bails her out. Nat, I'm on our parents' side, along with your Lincoln, Timothy, and Mason."

"Hector, I want the wedding dress in Emma's room," Natalie said with a sweet smile. "The Starry Brilliance. I want to wear that dress at the welcome party."
