Chapter 193


    Natasha already had a hunch the moment she saw Erin earlier.


    She also realized why Hamilton Corporation would announce a coboration with Lynch


    Corporation. There was no such thing as a coboration, nor was it about showing Desmond


    respect.


    Keh had created a trap and was waiting for them to take the bait.


    He could have just ruined them immediately, but he chose to use this humiliating method.


    He was even more vengeful than her.


    However, Natasha was not averse to that.


    She nced at him calmly before sweeping her gaze across the two people on the floor. It was


    impossible to tell her thoughts from the cold look on her face.


    Desmond stared at her in utter fear. Sweat dotted his forehead as he pleaded, “Ms. Watson, we


    were wrong. Please, I''m


    begging you! Give us a chance...”


    Natasha ignored him. Fixing her gaze on Erin, she walked over and squatted.


    When Erin saw that, she subconsciously clutched her hand and crawled backward.


    “W-What do you want to do?” asked Erin as she stared at Natasha in horror.


    Natasha smiled slightly. “Do you want to protect the Lynch family?”


    “What... What do you mean?”


    “Go back to where you came from. Don''t even set foot in Glenport City from now on,” warned


    Natasha, articting every single word. The smile disappeared from her face all of a sudden,


    leaving a vicious glint in her eyes.


    Erin widened her eyes. It was obvious how resistant she was to that demand. “No! No! Why should


    I? I don''t want to!”


    She was so close to marrying into the Lynch family, so there was no way she would leave.


    She did not want to stay overseas alone without family and friends. It felt like she was a lonely ghost


    wandering around.


    “No?” Natasha raised her eyebrow and grinned, although her eyes betrayed an icy look. “Very well,


    then! You shall be destroyed with the Lynch family!”


    Panicking, Erin yelled at her, “What right do you have to do that? Do you think that everything you


    say wille true? Natasha, who do you think you are? You''re just a-”


    p!


    Before Erin could finish her sentence, Desmond rushed forward and pped her cheek forcefully.


    “B*tch! Shut up!”


    Erin’s head spun after she was pped by Desmond. However, the disappointment she felt was far


    greater than the pain on her face.


    Staring at Desmond, she shook her head vigorously. “No! I won''t leave. Desmond, I''m not leaving! I


    don''t want to leave!”


    Naturally, he did not even dare to care about her. Looking at the two people in front of him,


    Desmond promised in terror, “Mr. Hamilton, Ms. Watson, I will send her away. I definitely won''t let


    her enter Glenport City again!”


    In response, Keh nodded with feigned reluctance. “Okay, then. I''ve got to admit that Nat is too


    soft-hearted. If it were me, the oue would definitely be different.”

    Desmond broke out into cold sweat when he heard that. “Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank you for showing us


    mercy, Mr. Hamilton.”


    “In the future, you''d better discipline your people properly. Otherwise, you''ll get into trouble for what


    they say,” warned Keh.


    “Got it! Got it!” replied Desmond eagerly.


    At that moment, Keh nced at Natasha, looking like his heart was aching for her. “Nat, I''m


    sorry for what you went through today. Don''t worry, I won''t let anyone bully you next time.”


    Everyone was bbergasted.


    Isn''t he being too biased? She wasn''t even being bullied before he intervened! But well, it''s quite


    unfortunate to be insulted


    like that.


    While they might still be confused about some other things, they got one thing clear after seeing


    Keh''s protectiveness over Natasha. The incident served as a warning to everyone in Glenport


    City.


    Messing around with Natasha would be equivalent to messing around with Keh and the


    Hamilton family.


    When Natasha did not say anything, Keh raised his eyebrows. “Shall we go up and take a look


    at Grandpa?”


    Natasha nced at the crowd. When she spotted a man holding a bottle of champagne, she walked


    over and said politely, “Please pass this to me.”


    The man waspletely clueless.


    However, since she asked, he gave it to her immediately.


    “Thanks!” “Y-You''re wee.”


    With Natasha being so close to him, that man could barely tear his eyes away from her—her beauty


    was almost suffocating.


    Naturally, Keh noticed the look in the man''s eyes and frowned unhappily.


    On the other hand, Natasha was oblivious to it. Holding the bottle of champagne, she strode toward


    Erin and poured it over thetter''s head without any warning.


    “Argh!” Erin yelled in shock as cold enveloped her.


    “You don''t need to pay for my gown, but this ss of wine is what I''m giving to you in return.” After


    saying that, Natasha averted her gaze and left.


    Everyone gasped in shock.


    The Hamilton family is such a vengeful bunch!


    When Keh saw her leaving, he chased after her.


    Someone immediately stepped forward to clean up the mess. “Everyone, what happened just now


    is just a minor episode. I hope that it didn''t ruin your mood to enjoy the banquet. Mr. Hamilton said


    that you may have as much fun as you want at the casino on the third floor. He''ll be paying the bill


    for everyone.”


    When the crowd heard that, they could not help but exim how generous Keh was.


    Gradually, they dispersed to do their own activities.


    No one cared about Desmond and Erin, who were still left there.


    Even those who got the invitation with Desmond''s help stayed far away from him, not daring to


    approach him.


    After all, he had offended the Hamilton Corporation. Even though Keh did not say anything


    about it, no one would dare to coborate with Desmond anymore.


    If they worked with him, it would mean that they were going against Hamilton Corporation.


    Undoubtedly, they would be cklisted.


    No one would want to get themselves involved in this mess.


    They stayed as far away from Desmond as possible as if they did not know him at all.


    As Desmond looked at those people, his pride faded awaypletely. All of his efforts over the past


    years had been ruined.


    At that moment, Erin looked at him. “I''m not leaving, Desmond. I''m not leaving...”


    When he heard that, he nced at her slowly. With a cold smirk, he asked, “You''re not leaving? Do


    you think you have a say in that?”


    “There are other solutions! We still have the Lenoir family. We don''t have to rely on Hamilton


    Corporation,” insisted Erin.


    Seeing how she continued to act foolishly, Desmond narrowed his eyes. “Erin, how on earth did I


    get to know a dumb woman like you? Don''t you know that your stupidity ruined everything? It ruined


    the business and connections that I have managed for so many years! The Lynch family is doomed!


    We''re all doomed!”


    Erin gazed at him and cried pitifully. “Desmond, you can''t me me for this. I''m doing this for the


    Lynch family''s own


    good-” “For the Lynch family''s own good? Do you know what I regret the most? I regret getting to


    know you!” spat Desmond viciously before shooting her a look of utmost hatred. “Erin, don''t let me


    see you again. Don''t even dream of entering the Lynch family anymore!” With that, he got up and


    left.


    Staring at his back, Erin yelled, “Desmond! Desmond! Don''t leave me!”
