Chapter 56


    Natasha was rubbing her temples while she sat in her seat.


    Just then, Mark appeared next to her. “Na- Ms. Watson. I have some things to discuss with you.”


    She nced at Mark before getting to her feet to follow him.


    She had been busy for the entire day with everything that had been happening.


    Mark walked inside his office and looked at Natasha. He began by sincerely apologizing to her.


    “Ms. Watson-”


    “Just call me Nat. I’m more used to it,” Natasha interjected.


    Mark gave her an awkward look. Heughed and continued, “Sure. So I’ll call you Nat. It was my


    misarrangement that caused the mishap that day, Nat. I was unaware that the other party had


    abruptly changed the person in charge. I should have warned you about Gaston, but I didn’t.


    Thank you so much for being able to put the past behind you and speak for me in front of Mr.


    Hamilton.”


    Natasha merely looked at Mark as he solemnly apologized. “Are you done?” she asked.


    Mark, on the other hand, was taken aback by Natasha’s frankness.


    “I’ll be going back first if there’s nothing else,” Natasha said. The events of the day were forcing


    her skull to split in half; she hadn’t even considered how she would deal with the car.


    Mark stared at her retreating figure. “D-Don’t you have anything to say?”


    Yet, before he could even continue, Natasha had left the office.


    Mark was rendered speechless.


    He had poured in his heart and soul to apologize to Natasha. Yet, thetter did not care about his


    sincere apology at all.


    She was behaving as coolly as she usually would.


    Mark, however, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Natasha acting as usual. Initially, he was


    concerned that she would quit due to the incident, but it seemed unlikely that she would!


    He then inhaled deeply at the thought of that before he continued to think of ways to ride on her


    coattail.


    Meanwhile, Natasha had been sitting on a chair for a while, lost in her thoughts. Finally, she


    decided to text Keh.


    She texted him: You have two choices. Either you drive the car away, or I pay you the money for it.


    Soon, she received a reply from Keh: Won’t it seem like I had forced you to buy the car if I


    took your money?


    She then replied: So you choose to drive the car away then?


    Keh made it clear that the car had nothing to do with him as he replied: I’m not the one who


    bought the car. The money spent isn’t mine. Return it to Grandpa if you want to.


    Natasha was rendered speechless.


    She would not have been wasting her time with Keh if she could simply return the car or


    money to Liam.


    After some thought, she concluded that no matter whether Liam epted it or not, the two


    solutions she suggested earlier seemed to be the only solutions.


    She did not reply to Keh’s message. Instead, she turned on herptop and carried out some


    procedures. After a few minutes, she sent Keh another text: I’ve transferred the money to you.


    Please check your ount.


    With that, she pocketed her phone.


    In Natasha’s defense, she was not trying to be melodramatic. However, the truth was that during


    her divorce from Keh, she did not ask for anything from him. Mostly because she did not want


    him to use hispensation as an excuse to get close to the children when he found out about


    them.


    And it was the same situation at that moment.


    When it was time for her to get off work, Natasha saw the car parked by the entrance.


    In all seriousness, the choice of car was rather… eye-catching.


    It was the shade of bright red – only someone with Keh’s personality would choose such a


    color.


    Although she did not really like the car, she could only ept it as it was.


    She caught the eyes of many during her drive back home.


    Natasha could feel many heads turn around to stare at her. And through their stares, she could


    feel their admiration for her wealth.


    However, she was used to keeping a low profile. Thus, she was not quite used to driving such an


    expensive and luxurious car.


    On top of that, the reason why she refused to purchase cars for that many years was not ack of


    money. Instead, it was because she liked sleeping during car rides. Yet, that was now ruined for


    her as she had to drive!


    With that thought, Natasha could not help but internally curse Keh and his family.


    She had little experience behind the wheel. The good news was that she did not forget how to


    drive and managed to drive safely all the way home.


    However, as soon as she arrived at the condominium, she was greeted by the sight of her children.


    “Holy moly!” Benjamin cried out. “A Phantom! Since when did our condominium have such a high-


    end car?”


    Natasha had just gotten out of the car when Benjamin finished his sentence.


    “Why are you back so early today?” Benjamin asked while blinking his eyes at the sight of


    Natasha.


    Anthony and Denise, too, were looking at Natasha with shock.


    “Did you rob a bank, Nat?” Benjamin asked bewilderedly.


    Natasha rolled her eyes in response. “Do I look that poor to you?”


    “You have a point. But don’t you despise driving? What triggered your sudden desire to buy a car?”


    Benjamin inquired again, his gaze fixed on the car. This particr model had long caught his


    attention. However, he had only received a toy model from Natasha. Thus, he felt like he was


    about to drool as he saw the actual car in front of him.


    Natasha did not know how to respond to Benjamin’s question; she knew that she could not tell


    them that Keh had forced it on her. Thus, after some thought, she said, “I wanted to change a


    car for your grandfather.”


    Terence, who was standing behind the triplets, was at first puzzled by Natasha’s words. Then, a


    look of disbelief was on his face.


    “It’s bright red in color,” Benjamin deadpanned. “Do you really think it’s suitable for Gramps?”


    Natasha was not bothered to exin more to Benjamin. Hence, she retorted, “What? Why can’t


    your grandfather drive a red car? Isn’t it rather vibrant?”


    Benjamin quickly shut his mouth after that. He kept walking around the car, inspecting every corner


    of it before asking, “Nat, can I take a seat in the car?”


    “It’s unlocked,” Natasha replied.


    With that, Benjamin immediately got into the car. He sat contentedly, not daring to touch any of the


    car’s interior.

    At some point, Denise, too, had sneakily entered the car. “As expected, a car like this does feel


    different. There’s only one word for this experience – indulging!”


    She then poked her head through the window and asked excitedly, “Nat, can Gramps drive me to


    school with this car tomorrow?”


    “Sure thing. He can even drive you to the heavens if you want him to!” Natasha said.


    Denise was dumbfounded by Natasha’s words and took a few moments before replying, “Thanks,


    Nat.”


    Meanwhile, Anthony was the only one who seemed to beposed. After walking around the car


    to inspect it, he asked, “How much was it, Nat?”


    “Um, around ten million I think?” Natasha replied.


    “Around?” Anthony inquired.


    To be frank, Natasha did not know how much the car cost. She had only checked its market price.


    However, she had long forgotten about it by then.


    “I’ve forgotten the detailed price!” Natasha replied.


    The clueless behavior indeed screamed Natasha.


    Anthony only nodded nonchntly. “This amount is enough to cover our family expenses for quite


    a while.”


    Natasha was at a loss of words.


    It was as if Anthony was indirectly poking at how wasteful she was.


    Meanwhile, Terence had also walked up and looked at Natasha. “Why did you buy such an


    expensive car out of a sudden, Nat?”


    Natasha was aware that exining it to Terence would not be simple. She didn’t say much as the


    money had already been spent. She chuckled as she exined, “I just felt the want to spoil myself


    after working so hard for so long.”


    Terence was still looking straight at her. “But isn’t this a bit much?”


    After some thought, Natasha replied, “At most, we’ll just have to live more frugally in the future.”


    “Nat,” Terrence uttered.


    “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’m still helping a group of overseas friends to do some programming.


    They’re quite generous with their pay. You won’t have to worry about the money – we have more


    than sufficient,” Natasha reassured. “And the money is obtained through legal means. Don’t


    worry.”


    Terence could not retort after hearing Natasha’s repeated reassurance.


    “Grandpa, buying a car won’t affect me.” With that, she ignored everything else as she turned to


    look at the triplets, who were having a st in the car. “I’m leaving this to you, Grandpa. I’ll be


    heading in first.”


    With that, she handed over the car key to Terence and immediately made a beeline upstairs
