You're Out Daddy

Chapter 179 Related To Kenneth

The news of Hamilton Corporation and Lynch Corporation’s collaboration traveled fast.

It caused quite a stir.

Everyone in the corporate world knew about it.

At the start, as they had yet to sign the contract, Desmond was worried that Hamilton Corporation

would be angry with him, but it was as if Hamilton Corporation had never heard about the rumors at all.

They continued to engage in talks for the deal. Once they began discussing the details of the contract,

Desmond became more at ease.

Most importantly, numerous businesses began offering an olive branch to Lynch Corporation once the

news was out. Even the hosts of the cocktail parties that he would never get a chance to attend back

then began sending him invitations to their parties. The business owners that he came across were all

polite and respectful to him. Although they were all indirectly trying to get to know Hamilton

Corporation, the feeling of having others curry favor with him thrilled Desmond.

He felt as if he had turned into a member of the upper-class social circle. He loved that feeling.

Desmond knew that Hamilton Corporation was the one who brought him all these benefits. That was

why he placed even more value on their collaboration—he had to make sure that their companies

became business partners.

Natasha did not pay much attention to the news of the corporate world. She continued living her life

and going to the office. One day, while she was working, Ross said, “Have you heard about Hamilton

Corporation working together with Lynch Corporation?”

Thomas lifted his head. “That news caused an uproar, so how can I not have heard about it? I just don’t

understand why Hamilton Corporation is suddenly collaborating with a mid-sized business. It’s quite

strange.”

Natasha did not raise her head at the conversation, and their words were just like background music to

her.

Right then, Ross turned to Natasha. “Ms. Watson, do you know about this?”

Natasha finally tilted her head upward to look at him. “What?”

“About Hamilton Corporation and Lynch Corporation’s collaboration. Do you know any secret details

about it?” Ross asked.

It was then Natasha registered what they were talking about—the collaboration between Kenneth’s

company and Zachary’s father’s company.

The next thought she had was about the incident at Infinitium.

With how protective Liam is of the younger ones, he would most probably tell it to Kenneth, right? If he

did, why is Kenneth still working with Lynch Corporation? Unless…

“Ms. Watson?” Ross waved his hand in front of her face. “What are you thinking about?”

Natasha snapped back to her senses and narrowed her eyes. “Why would I know any secret details

about it?”

At that, Thomas and Ross shared a look before leaning closer to Natasha. “Ms. Watson, are you still

trying to hide that from us?”

“Hide what from you?” Natasha returned her gaze to her screen.

“Your relationship with Hamilton Corporation…” Ross trailed off before narrowing his eyes mysteriously.

“Don’t assume that we don’t know anything about this. We’ve already guessed it!”

Natasha stiffened. “Is that so? If you’ve guessed it, you should know even better that I’m in no way

related to Hamilton Corporation.”

Ross laughed. “So, Ms. Watson, are you admitting to it?”

Natasha did not answer him.

“I’d say you shouldn’t keep holding the grudge. Why do you have to draw a line between you and

Hamilton Corporation? You’ll get part of Hamilton Corporation after Kenneth takes over the company.

Even a little bit of Hamilton Corporation will be more than enough to fund the rest of your life!”

Natasha picked up the glass at the side and calmly sipped the water in it.

Ross continued, “At the very least, you’re siblings. Anyone could see that he’s nice to you at the

hospital. I doubt he won’t leave anything for you at all…”

Natasha instantly spat out the water right on Ross’ face.

Ross froze.

When Thomas saw that, he could not hold back his laughter.

“Ms. Watson, is this the reward for my right guess?” Ross muttered in a daze.

Natasha then took a piece of tissue and shoved it on his face.

She then looked at him and asked, “Who told you that I’m siblings with Kenneth?”

“Are you not?” Thomas queried. “This is a topic that the people in our office have been fervently

discussing. This is the most reasonable answer we can come up with.”

Natasha blinked in silence.

At that moment, she began fearing for the company’s future.

The intellect of the people in this company…

After Ross calmly wiped his face, he turned to her and uttered, “Ms. Watson, don’t deny it anymore.

Although I don’t know what happened between the two of you, don’t worry, we won’t look down on you

for this. No one can decide which family they’re born into, but we’re impressed by your character.

That’s why I’ll be on your side forever!”

Natasha still did not speak.

All she did was give him a glance. She was not in the mood to waste her breath on him.

She thought that they really had figured it out, and she was not planning to hide it from him.

However, with the level of intelligence they seemed to possess, Natasha did not wish to explain the

matter to them anymore.

After all, her time with Kenneth was nothing to be proud of. Thus, Natasha flashed them a smile and

said, “Wow, thank you.”

“Of course. We’re good friends!” Ross thumped his chest.

It took Erin a long time to find Zachary.

After countless calls, Zachary finally picked up.

“Where are you?” Erin asked without beating about the bush. “Why don’t you just speak what’s on your

mind? Go back to the Lynch residence with me right away. Tell your father that you’ll go on with the

marriage alliance with the Lenoirs and apologize to him!”

“Wasn’t I clear enough previously? I won’t marry, and I won’t go back to the Lynch family!”

“Zachary Lynch!” Erin yelled in fury. However, after a survey of her surroundings, she lowered her voice

again. “What do you want? Even if you’re not thinking about your own future, think about mine.”

“There’s nothing I can say if you’re adamant about joining the Lynch family, but if you don’t, I’ll make

sure that you live life comfortably for the rest of your life. Mom, I just wish that you can respect me this

one time. Just this one time. I wish to be the one to decide my own marriage.” Zachary spoke over the

phone.

Erin narrowed her eyes. “At the end of the day, you just want to be with that woman?”

Zachary did not speak—he did not deny her words.

“Who is that woman? How did you bewitch you to this point? I’d like to find out who that woman is!”

“Mom, you won’t meet her until you let go of this. Let’s talk again when you’ve thought things through.”

At that, Zachary hung up.

“Zachary. Zachary!” Erin cried out into the receiver, but the man had already ended the call. She tried to

call him again, but the call no longer went through.

Livid, Erin threw her phone on the table.

Meanwhile, at a nearby table, Thea was sipping on her coffee. After overhearing Erin’s call, she

grinned.

She then rose to her feet and walked over. “Excuse me, are you Zachary’s mother?” she asked with a

smile.

Erin narrowed her eyes at the other woman in front of her. “You are…”

“Hello, I’m Thea Jarman, Zachary’s friend,” she introduced herself, still smiling. “I only dared to come

and greet you after hearing your call earlier. Can I take a seat?”

Erin nodded after giving Thea a once-over.
