Chapter 224
Chapter 224
After the police announced the results of their investigation, the earlier news regarding Hamilton Corporation was deleted, and their share prices rose once again. In fact, it became even higher than before.
Of the netizens who were previously on Desmond's side, some still believed the conspiracy theory, while others shut their mouths. Regardless, this brief interlude did not seem to affect Hamilton Corporation in the slightest.
In the evening, Liam gave Zeke a call and found out that Natasha was the one who led to Desmond's capture.
Upon hearing the news, Liam was stunned for a long while.
“Where did you find such an amazing granddaughter-in-law, Old Mr. Hamilton? In my view, she will be able to hold the Hamilton fort down easily,” Zeke praised.
Liam slowly regained his senses and instantly replied, “You're right!”
“She is meticulous yet clear-headed. What a brilliant woman, indeed. I even thought of hiring her as my assistant!”
“No, you can't,” Liam rushed to object. “Police forces like you have to be on the frontline every single day. You even have to interact with criminals! It's so dangerous. I can't let my granddaughter- in-law be in such dangerous situations. Don't even think about it.”
Zeke's laughter sounded over the phone. “I knew you wouldn't agree to it. However, I heard that she and Kenneth are divorced. Do you still have a say in what she does?”
Even when the topic was brought up, Liam remained adamant. “So what if they're divorced? She's still part of the Hamilton family. Moreover, they're going to remarry soon anyway, so stop
daydreaming.”
The man on the other end of the line laughed in amusement. “All right, all right. I won't bring it up anymore, but do help me to keep an eye out for young single ladies who are just as brilliant as your granddaughter-in-law. My son's still single, after all.”
Liam quickly replied, “As long as you leave Nat alone, I'd be happy to help!” “Okay, I'm counting on you.”
Liam was incredibly delighted.
“All right, Old Mr. Hamilton. I have to go to a meeting now. See you soon!”
“Okay, go ahead.” With that, he hung up.
Terence was peeling apples when he noticed the joyous expression on Liam's face. “Since when is Nat remarrying into the Hamilton family? Don't even think about it,” he couldn't help but say coldly.
In front of others, Liam could put up a stubborn front, but he became meek in the presence of Terence.
“If I didn't say that, Zeke might actually recruit Nat! It's such a dangerous profession. Do you want her to be on the front line?” Liam replied.
“He was just joking.”
“Since when did Zeke joke about things like this?” Liam retorted.
“It doesn't matter whether he's joking or not. More importantly, are you sure you don't have that thought in mind?” Terence asked.
The old man pursed his lips. After all, he knew it was impossible to deny it.
Everyone could clearly tell how much adoration he had for Natasha.
“Nat is such an accomplished woman. It's only natural that I want her to marry into the family, don't you think so?” Liam decided to change his tactic instead.
Terence rolled his eyes at the old man. Although Liam's words sounded convincing, those were different matters altogether.
Noticing that Terence was remaining silent, Liam added, “All right, fine. Just look at that expression on your face. Let me tell you that Nat has been a huge help to the Hamilton family. It was because of her that we were able to survive this predicament unscathed.”
The knife in Terence's hands paused at his words. It was only after he had listened to the entire story that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it was dangerous, Natasha did not go to extreme lengths to overcome the situation. At that thought, an indescribable feeling rose in Terence's heart.
“I'll call Kenneth and get him to invite Nat back for dinner. We have to celebrate!” Having said that, Liam rose to his feet to get his phone.
Right at that instant, a car could be heard pulling in.
“I think it's Mr. Kenneth,” Dan reported as he took a glimpse outside the house.
Just as he said that, Kenneth was seen walking into the house together with Natasha.
Such a good-looking pair! It should be a crime for them not to be together.
Liam turned to look at Dan. “Tell the chef to cook more scrumptious dishes tonight. We shall have a feast! The Hamilton family can finally have a reunion meal.”
As he observed the jubilant expression on Liam's face, Dan could not help but share his sentiments. “I'll get to it at once.”
“Cook more dishes that Nat likes,” Liam quickly added.
“Got it!” Dan replied merrily.
Right then, Natasha and Kenneth walked over to them.
“Grandpa, Old Mr. Watson,” Kenneth greeted.
Terence looked at him and nodded slightly.
Meanwhile, Liam quickly gestured for Natasha to come over. “Come and have a seat, Nat!”
Natasha glanced at Kenneth before walking over to sit on the couch. “Old Mr.
Hamilton.”
“I've heard the news from Zeke. It's all thanks to you that we managed to solve this issue. You really are the Hamilton family's lucky star!” Liam was genuinely joyful as he praised her.
Hearing that, Natasha looked up at Kenneth.
She was not someone who would take the credit that she did not deserve. Moreover, she was crystal clear about how the problem arose in the first place.
Natasha turned back to look at Liam and replied in a soft voice, “I only helped because I felt uncomfortable about the situation. However, I know that even if I didn't help, the Hamilton family and Hamilton Corporation would not be affected by it at all as Kenneth is more than capable of handling this issue.”
Everyone present knew deep down that whatever she said was right.
Similarly, Liam also agreed with her words. As he had been in the industry for a long time, there was not anything that he had not seen or experienced before. Regardless, when he heard Natasha's reply, he felt even more delighted.
Natasha is a humble woman who doesn't let the praises get to her head. She is exactly what the Hamilton family is looking for in a daughter-in-law.
At that moment, Liam was even more sure that apart from Natasha, no one else was qualified enough to be the lady of the Hamilton family.
Even though those were the thoughts in his mind, Liam did not openly admit it. “Well, there has been so much going on in the company and at home. I've never even seen him lift a finger to solve the issue.” As he spoke, he grinned at Natasha. “No matter what, you have helped us a great deal. I am genuinely happy and thankful for you. Therefore, I've already asked the chef to prepare more food today. Do stay and have dinner with us.”
Since Liam had already extended the invitation to her, Natasha could only nod and agree, “Okay.”
Liam's grin was so wide that his eyes narrowed into a line.
Kenneth, who had been standing by the side, also curled his lips up into a faint smile.
Suddenly, Denise popped her head out of her room. The moment she saw Natasha, she exclaimed, “Nat, you're back!”
She then ran down the stairs and pounced into Natasha's arms. “Where did you go? I missed you so much!”
Anthony and Benjamin heard the commotion and walked out. When they noticed Natasha's return, they, too, dashed down the stairs.
“Nat, you're back!”
“Nat, you were the one who dissolved the issue, right?”
Anthony and Benjamin were standing in front of Natasha as they asked. From the happy glint in their eyes, it was obvious that they were having a good time in the Hamilton residence.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
