Chapter 1084 Defeat Him To Take Over Everything
Natasha walked to the side of the road and made a phone call. Shortly after, the driver arrived.
Watching as Natasha got into the car and left, Zachary remained rooted to the spot and didn't go after her anymore.
Even though he was filled with anger and resentment at the moment, he knew that Natasha didn't like the kind of person who pestered her relentlessly. Any excessive entanglement at that point would only intensify her hatred toward him.
To win her heart, he had to find another way.
Kenneth! As long as I defeat him, I can take over everything that belongs to him, including her!
Following that thought, Zachary clenched his fists once more.
Only after the car had disappeared into the night did he turn around and walk toward his own vehicle.
He had thought understanding the logic of things would allow him to control his emotions. However, once he got in the car and recalled the image of her raising her hand to reveal her ring before him, it still inexplicably ignited his anger.
Involuntarily, he slammed his fist hard onto the steering wheel.
Honk!
The ear-piercing sound of a horn shattered the silence of the night.
Nonetheless, Zachary was wholly oblivious to the pain. His gaze was fixed intently on a spot, flames of envy blazing in the depths of his eyes.
What gives? Why is it that Kenneth can effortlessly obtain everything—a good family background, education, company, and Natasha?
At that thought, his dissatisfaction grew even more profound. He started the car, floored the accelerator, and sped off without a second's delay.
Meanwhile, after Natasha had gotten into the car, the driver watched her through the rearview mirror.
“Ms. Watson, are you okay?” the driver asked.
Natasha glanced at him and nodded. “I'm fine.”
“It was my negligence. I will wait for you at the company's entrance from now on!” the driver said.
After some thought, Natasha didn't say anything further but simply nodded.
As the car traveled, she remained silent and closed her eyes for a brief rest.
She had no idea how much time had passed until the car came to a stop, and the driver said softly, “Ms. Watson, we've arrived.”
Upon hearing that, Natasha opened her eyes. Seeing that they had already arrived at the courtyard, she sat up and climbed out of the car.
Just as she was about to walk away, she suddenly remembered something. She turned back the driver. “Oh yes, there's no need to go to the trouble of driving me to the office tomorrow. I can manage on my own.”
Hearing that, the driver immediately asked, “Did I do something wrong?”
“No, it's not that!” Natasha shook her head. “It's my issue. It's more convenient for me to drive alone. Otherwise, you will suffer alongside me if I work overtime late into the night!”
“This is our primary duty. If we can't even accomplish this, we...” The driver trailed off, looking conflicted. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Suddenly, Natasha understood the situation. My original intention is to not trouble others, but if I overthink things, it can actually end up hurting them instead.
With that thought in mind, she nodded. “I understand. Then, thank you in advance for tomorrow.”
Upon hearing that, the driver quickly nodded.
Natasha turned around and walked away.
Right then, the manor was very much serene.
It was late in the night. Aside from a few servants up and about, everyone else had already gone to bed.
After Natasha had navigated through several corridors, her steps began to quicken.
As soon as she thought of Kenneth, she couldn't help but want to hurry.
Upon entering the manor, she immediately placed her bag on the couch. After washing her hands briefly, she headed straight for Kenneth's room.
The instant she pushed open the door and saw Kenneth, her heart that had been lodged in her throat finally settled back in her chest.
Natasha walked over to the bedside and gazed down at the person lying there. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, her exhaustion all but gone at that moment.
Sitting down, she grasped his hand. “Kenneth, I'm back.”
As she looked at him, her heart settled down.
With her gaze on him, she continued talking to him softly, “I went to the office today and dealt with some matters. But in just one day, I've come to understand how difficult your job is. You must have had a hard time in the past, right? But it's okay. Since you're tired, take a good well. I'll take care of things for you. Just... don't sleep too long. You know me. I've always been lazy and can't hold out for too long.”
Regardless of what Natasha said, the man lying on the bed remained still and silent.
After talking for a while, Natasha placed his hand against her face. “Kenneth, I'll do anything as long as you wake up!”
Meanwhile, Liam stared in the direction of the room from a near distance away.
Beside him, Dan remarked, “It's late, Old Mr. Hamilton. You should rest now!”
Upon hearing that, Liam sighed and nodded. “Let's go.”
On the way back to the room, Dan looked at him and asked, “Old Mr. Hamilton, I don't understand. What is your intention in doing this?”
Liam chuckled lightly. “What do you think?”
Dan shook his head.
With a sigh, Liam said while walking, “To say that I really don't blame Nat would be somewhat of a lie. But deep down, I know that it's not her fault.”
“In that case, why?”
“Kenneth was willing to give his life up for her, and that was his choice. Say, if I were to blame Nat for this, what should I do when the brat wakes up and holds me accountable?” asked Liam.
“You must be the most devastated person. As such, it wouldn't be surprising if you did anything drastic at this time. Even Mr. Kenneth would understand you!” Dan replied.
He had worked for Liam from a young age, so no one knew better than him how the latter had raised and treasured Kenneth.
He already had to endure having his child die before him. And now, he almost lost his grandson... There are likely few in this world who could withstand such a matter.
With the support of his cane, Liam continued walking forward, his voice deep and resonant. “I've watched Nat grow up, and I understand her. She's a person who values relationships deeply. It's precisely because I know her too well that I can't even bring myself to blame her.” As he spoke, he turned to Dan beside him. “Moreover, she has contributed greatly to the Hamilton family. The Hamilton family has been sparse for several generations, but she gave birth to three children for the Hamilton family at once. How could I possibly blame her?”
Dan's brows furrowed, and he fell silent.
“Considering all the dastardly things Kenneth did back then, Nat could have chosen to abort the pregnancy after their divorce. But she still went ahead and had the children. For that alone, the Hamilton family owes her our gratitude,” Liam added.
“So, that was why you had Ms. Watson step up and take over the company?” Dan asked.
Speaking of that, Liam's eyes dimmed a shade. “Her stepping up and taking over the company serves two purposes. Firstly, it can restrain Zachary. Secondly, it can prevent her from losing herself in Kenneth's world. Isn't that the best of both worlds?”
Upon hearing that, Dan finally nodded in understanding.
“Tell the kitchen tomorrow to prepare more delicious food in the coming days. I'm not sure if her body can handle it!” Liam muttered.
“Understood.” Dan nodded.
Liam didn't say anything further, walking toward his room with the support of his cane. Dan kept him company, staying by his side until he had returned to his room to rest. Only then did Dan make to leave.
Suddenly Liam asked, “By the way, is there any movement on Zachary's side?”
