Chapter 182


    Chapter 182 Not The First Time


    “You—” Just as Xavier was about to say something, Natasha stopped him.


    He turned around and frowned at her.


    “I’ll settle my own matters,” she stated.


    When Xavier saw the determination in her eyes, he fell silent and nodded, continuing to stand behind


    her like a bodyguard.


    Natasha then turned to Erin and smirked.


    “What are you smiling for?”


    “I’m smiling because I can’t believe that there’s actually a day where I get to be mocked at and warned


    by a mistress,” Natasha exined.


    Erin was dumbfounded, and her expression changed drastically. “W-What nonsense are you talking


    about?”


    “Erin Charstille, born in neen seventy, dropped out of school during your teens and started working.


    After that, you dated a thirty-year-old man whom you were forced to break up with after his wife found


    out about it. When you were in your twenties, you met Desmond in a bar, and you two were


    passionately in love with each other instantly. Despite knowing he’s married, you got pregnant out of


    wedlock. Then, you appeared on his doorstep with the child, looking for his wife. Your actions caused


    Desmond’s wife to go into depression, and she jumped off the building—”


    “Shut up! Shut up!” Erin hollered before Natasha could even finish. She glowered at thetter. “What


    nonsense are you talking about?”


    Her exaggerated reaction was basically an act of acknowledgment of what Natasha said. Everything


    Erin had been hiding had been revealed.


    “Nonsense? Or should I ask Jacques, the biological son of Desmond’s wife? I believe he should be the


    witness to this entire incident. He must know every detail about it,” said Natasha nonchntly.


    Shaking in fury, Erin clenched her fists and shot Natasha a death re.


    How does she know all that? Especially the part about me dating a man when I was in my teens.


    Practically no one knows about it, nor have I mentioned it to anyone. Well, I told Desmond when I


    dated him, but that was the first time I told someone about it. How… How does she know about it?

    Her eyes that red at Natasha had traces of fear and hatred.


    Seeing that Erin had stopped talking, Natasha raised a brow. “So, Mdm. Charstille, do I need to verify


    the things I’ve said?”


    “Natasha Watson, I’m going to sue you for nder!” Erin growled.


    “Sure. I’ll be waiting for you. If you don’t, then you’re just a coward,” Natasha taunted.


    “You—” Erin was fuming with rage. “You insolent woman!” As she spat those words, she raised her


    hand, wanting to p Natasha’s face.


    Sensing what was about to happen, Xavier reached out to stop it, but Natasha had already caught


    Erin’s hand effortlessly.


    Erin’s hand that was about to hit Natasha was gripped tightly by thetter. She stared at Natasha in


    disbelief. “Let me go!”


    “Mdm. Charstille, I hate mistresses the most. And today, you had the guts toe here and nder


    me. You know what? This is not the first time you’ve infuriated me.”


    Before Erin could even react, Natasha had given the former a violent p across the face.


    Erin was bbergasted.


    She never expected she would be pped by Natasha.


    She covered her face, not knowing what to say for the longest time.


    “I’ve put up with your behavior once because you’re Zachary’s mother. But this time, you asked for it,”


    Natasha snarled.


    “Did you just hit me?” Erin hadpletely lost it. She felt utterly humiliated for being pped in front of


    so many people.


    “That single p was just a lesson. Don’t you ever appear in front of me again, or it won’t be as simple


    as just a p next time.” With that, Natasha stormed off.


    When Erin wanted to pounce on Natasha again, Xavier and Ross jumped in front of the former to block


    her path.


    “Sarah, call for security. Tell them someone’s wrecking chaos here.”


    “Got it!” Sarah immediately ran off to get help.


    “Don’t you dare touch me! Do you know who I am? I’m the mother of Lynch Corporation’s heir. Do you


    know who’s backing Lynch Corporation now? It’s Hamilton Corporation! I’d like to see if you still have


    the guts toy a finger on me,” Erin threatened.


    When the security guards heard her words, they indeed hesitated to take action.


    To her dismay, Ross waved his hand nonchntly. “Take her away. So what if they’ve got Hamilton


    Corporation as their backer? We’ve got someone from Hamilton Corporation working here. Don’t worry.


    I’ll take responsibility if something happens.”


    The moment the guards heard that, their worries dissipated, and they immediately dragged Erin out.


    “Let me go! Let me go! I’m going to call the cops!”


    At first, they assumed Erin was only saying that out of anger. Unexpectedly, she actually called the


    police.


    When Erin arrived at the building with the police for questioning, Xavier turned to the crowd and asked,


    “Did anyone see Ms. Watson attacking her just now?”


    “No!”


    “We didn’t see anything!”


    “She’s the one who scolded and wanted to hit Ms. Watson.”


    Everyone from the Programming Department and even Sarah, the receptionist, took turns to voice out.


    Erin was baffled upon hearing that, and her face flushed with rage.


    “All of you are spouting nonsense. You’ve clearly seen her—” She was furious. “All of you are


    entranced by her. Everyone here is so despicable!” She then turned to the police. “She really attacked


    me…”


    After that, she nced around the building, spotting the surveince camera right above their heads.


    Pointing at it, she said, “There’s a surveince camera above us. I’m sure it filmed the scene from


    earlier. Why don’t we look at the footage?”


    Xavier turned around and nodded upon seeing the surveince camera. “Sure. No problem!”


    Hence, they headed straight for the surveince room to do so. In the end, all that was shown was Erin


    attacking while Natasha only stopped the former.


    Erin’s eyes widened in disbelief. “There must be something wrong with the footage. Something must be


    wrong with it!”


    The police had a rough idea of what happened, especially when the surveince footage revealed


    Erin’s behavior. Though being a mistress was not illegal, crossing someone’s bottom line was a matter


    of morality.


    Thew had no say in matters rted to morality, but every person had the right to be the judge of their


    own matters.


    “All right. There aren’t witnesses and evidence. If you really want to sue them, you should go for a


    screening test for injuries. We’ll talk more once you have the report.”


    Hearing that, Erin frowned. “So, you’re saying you’re going to ignore this? Is this how you work? Do


    you think I’m not capable of filing aint against you?”


    Her words left the police officer irritated. “Comint? I’m doing my job ording to thew. What’s the


    problem with me telling you to follow the rules and regtions? If you want to file aint, then go


    ahead. Here, this is my card. Make sure you fill in the right details.” With that, he put on his hat and


    stormed off.


    Erin was left standing at the same spot, feeling at a loss.


    Xavier raised a brow and nced at her. “So, do you want to hang out in the conference room before


    leaving?”


    Erin sneered at him. “Just you wait. I won’t let this matter go so easily.” Having no intentions of staying


    there any longer, she turned to leave.


    Ugh. I’m utterly humiliated today!


    Meanwhile, Natasha, who was in the conference room, had found out about Erin calling the cops. Just


    as she was about to get to her feet, Ross stopped her. “Don’t worry. Xavier’s dealt with it.”
