As William''s stern voice rang, Sky fell to his knees right away.


    "Father, I don''t think we''re being fair to Emma."


    "What do you mean?"


    William walked around the desk and stopped in front of Skr.


    "I''m very disappointed in you, Sky. You''re going to be punished."


    "I''d still say this even if I''m going to be punished," Sky responded firmly. "Emma saw you and Mother as her beloved parents for 20 years, always following us brothers around like a little tag-along as she grew up. Did you forget how cute she was when she was still a child, Father?"


    "My daughter was having her blood drawn by the Langleys when Emma was being all sweet and obedient in front of us. That''s the only thing I know."


    William then frowned and pped Sky''s back as punishment.


    "You only feel bad for Emma, but you never empathize with your biological sister. Tell me, what kind of hardships have Emma faced growing up? She was pampered both materially and emotionally in the family!


    "Now think about your biological sister who had been transfusing blood to Diana when she was with the Langleys. Grace even took advantage of her, using Natalie for her own gain. The Langleys sold Natalie out, yet they still want her to clean up their mess!


    "Your biological sister was being abused when Emma was acting all cute,


    charming us. Tell me, Sky, what struggles has Emma gone through?"


    William added, "Are you telling me my daughter can''t evene back to her own home because of Emma now?"


    He scolded as he pped Sky once more.


    Sky was gritting his teeth, suppressing the pain. "That''s not what I meant."


    "Oh, that''s exactly what you meant." William''s face was clouded with fury.


    "Nat didn''t even want toe back to us in the beginning. She waited forever at the front gate when she first arrived at our house, all because of your mother''s oversight. I checked the surveince afterward, and it was Emma who deliberately held your mother back, preventing her from greeting Nat.


    "Didn''t we care about Emma, Sky? Think carefully. Didn''t wefort her after she left the house, crying with her luggage when Nat came home? Did she really treat Nat like her own sister?"


    Numerous loud ps echoed in the room.


    Soon, William was drenched in sweat.


    "I don''t care how you''re going to pamper Emma, but as long as I''m still alive, you''re not going to have a say in the Walker family."


    William then took a step back as he saw blood seeping through Sky''s shirt.


    "Today''s punishment is the first warning for you. If you do anything that hurts Nat for Emma or anyone else, I''m not going to take it easy on you," William remarked aloofly.


    "I understand, Father."


    "Also, I don''t want to hear you speaking up for Emma anymore. She''s struggling, but does Nat have it any easier?"


    "I got it, Father."


    "Get lost!"


    "Okay." Sky stood up, gritting his teeth through the pain, and walked out of the study.


    As soon as he exited the room, he stumbled uncontrobly. Cindy immediately went up to support him. "Mr. Sky, are you okay?


    "Gosh, your back is bleeding, Mr. Sky!"


    Cindy was overwhelmed with worry. "Have a seat, quick. I''ll get the medical kit."


    "Get the family doctor." Sky pinched the bridge of his nose. If only he had known what would happen. He wouldn''t have turned around halfway to the office.


    Cindy was cursing Natalie under her breath as she rushed to get the medical kit.


    Back when Natalie wasn''t home, their family was enjoying a warm and cheerful atmosphere. Everyone loved Emma the most. They were so happy that the vi was filled withughter every single day.


    Ever since Natalie came back, Emma had to take a vacation to unwind, and now


    Sky had been punished by William.


    The blood hadpletely drenched his shirt. Whatevery beneath must have been gruesome.


    Cindy came back with the medical kit in her hand, eyes brimming with tears. "Take off your shirt, Mr. Sky. Let me help you with the wounds."


    Sky took the medical kit over and opened it. "It''s fine, Cindy. I can do it on my


    own. You can get back to what you were doing."


    Cindy was the helper dedicated to taking care of Emma. Thus, she was respected


    enough by the Walkers to have a say in things.


    Sky showed her a lot of courtesy as well. "Remember to clean Emma''s room


    every day so that she cane back anytime."


    "Of course," Cindy said as she rubbed her eyes. "Oh dear, just how much pain are you in, Mr. Sky?"


    "Take the punishment for Sky if you''re so concerned about him."


    Hector came back at this moment. He removed his coat, and the helper nearby immediately took it from him.


    "Cindy, people would assume that you''re Sky''s actual mother if they didn''t know."


    Hector remarked indifferently, "Isn''t being Emma''s helper enough, Cindy? Are you after my job as a doctor now too?"


    "I wouldn''t dare, Mr. Hector. I just feel bad for Mr. Sky."


    Cindy wiped away her tears. "Mr. Sky is very precious to the family. Who knows how long it''ll take for him to recover from these wounds?"


    "Cindy''s saying that you''re weak, Sky."


    Hector walked over to the couch and took the medical kit from Sky. "Take off your shirt. I''ll take care of your wounds.


    "You don''t have to worry too much as well, Cindy. There''s a doctor in the family, and we own a hospital too. As long as Sky''s still breathing, I can pull him through."


    Hector cast a nce at Cindy. "You''re not needed here anymore. Go about your tasks."


    "Alright, Mr. Hector."


    Cindy wiped her tears and walked away. As soon as she left, she took out her phone and gave Emma a call, informing her of the current situation.


    "Ms. Emma? Mr. Walker punished Mr. Sky just now!"


    Emma''s exmations came through the phone. "What? Why? Why did Dad punish Sky?"


    "It''s all because of that damn


    Natalie," Cindy whispered. "Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Sky had an


    argument the moment she caSky


    back. Mr. Walker even gave Mr Sky


    an earful right away when he showed up!


    "Ms. Emma, this bitch is trying to get rid of you!"


    Emma dug her nails into her palm in that instant, suppressing her anger. She thought, "This damn Natalie... How could she kick me out of the family?" Emma was the one who had been living with the Walker family for 20 years.


    If anyone was an outsider here, it was Natalie.


    "This woman has bewitched Mr.


    Walker and your brothers. She''s even got Mrs. Walker on her side. You have to stop with the traveling, Ms. Emma. You''ve got toe back fast and take back what''s yours!"


    "What are you doing, Cindy?"


    "Ah!"


    Cindy was hiding in a corner as she talked to Emma on the phone. As she heard


    a faint voice calling her, she was so frightened that she nearly sprang to her feet.
