Chapter 69
Meanwhile, Keh was still around when Zachary came downstairs.
Although, it would be more urate to say the former was waiting for thetter.
“You’re still here, Mr. Hamilton?” asked Zachary, who had approached by then.
That was when Keh locked eyes with him and spoke without beating around the bush. “How
long have you been with her?”
Zachary’s brows twisted into a frown. “You mean Nat?”
It was evident that Keh was referring to her from the way he fell silent and seemed irritated by
that nickname.
Hence, a chuckle came from Zachary as he then exined, “Mr. Hamilton, you seem to have
misunderstood. Nat and I aren’t dating.”
“Really?” Keh appeared shocked upon hearing that.
“Yep.” Zachary nodded.
Darkness left Keh’s face as his mood improved, and he spoke with less hostility. “So, you guys
are-”
Zachary looked at him while interjecting, “Pardon my candidness, but may I ask what your
rtionship with Nat is, Mr. Hamilton?”
At once, Keh’s eyes narrowed to slits as he responded, “What do you think?”
“Mr. Hamilton, if you wanted to keep your rtionship with her private, was it really necessary to
world, that did not mean he would allow others to walk all over him.
Keh walked over while locking eyes with Zachary. An arrogant countenance radiated from the
former as he stated, “She and I used to share a deeply intimate rtionship.”
Not a trace of annoyance or anger showed on Zachary’s face upon learning that. Instead, he
slightly raised a browed while asking, “You’re her ex-husband?”
Keh’s eyes narrowed even more. “You’re aware that she was once married?”
“Is that so shocking?” Zachary chuckled amusedly.
Keh scrutinized Zachary, thinking thetter was not as much of an open book as his
appearance suggested.
A grin curved on the former’s face as he replied, “It is.”
Zachary ced both hands in his pockets, his toneing off casual andnguid. “Since you’ve
been nothing but honest with me, Mr. Hamilton, I won’t bother hiding the truth. Nat and I are
currently friends.”
“Currently?” Keh fixated on him.
Another chuckle came from Zachary. “Yeah. I intend to pursue her.”
Once more, Keh murderously narrowed his eyes.
“That’s why we’re friends for now. I’ll soon give my all into pursuing her.” Zachary put on a look of
utmost seriousness than he ever showed before at that moment.
Not a word came from Keh, but one could clearly see the treacherously growing disbelief and
warning in his eyes.
Sometimes, men did not need words tomunicate; All it took was one nce.
Zachary was no match for Keh in terms of having an influential and money background.
“You’ve asked quite a lot of questions, Mr. Hamilton. You’re not still hung up and nning to get
back with Nat, are you?” asked Zachary.
Hearing that, Keh chuckled. “So what if I am? And so what if I’m not?”
“If you are, then from this moment on, we’re enemies. However, if you’re not, I hope you won’t
interfere too much with Nat’s life because I’ll be looking after her in the future,” Zachary stated
smilingly as if he were a charming gentleman.
Despite having the same height and build, the men exuded utterly different auras; One seemed so
sincere like a ray of warm sunshine, while the other was aloof like an icy blizzard.
Both would be equally matched if they had a face off.
“Don’t get too cocky. I doubt you can lock her down,” said Keh.
“My goal isn’t to lock her down. What I want is to give her all the happiness and joy in this world. I
intend to make her feel bliss like never before.” The innuendo in Zachary’s words did not go
unnoticed.
A sneer came from Keh. “Let’s hope you remain this confident in the long run.”
“I will.” Zachary confidently nodded under Keh’s gaze.
It was then that Zachary’s phone rang, and took it out to look at the caller ID. However, he did not
intend to answer it.
“Well, Mr. Hamilton, I’ll be on my way if there’s nothing else.”
“Go ahead.”
Zachary nodded before getting up to leave.
Yet, he paused after taking a few steps to look back at Keh. “Mr. Hamilton, do you know
someone named Anthony?”
A narrow-eyed look crept onto Keh’s face. “Who’s that?”
“No one important. It was a random question,” Zachary said and chuckled upon seeing the
former’s reaction. After that, he departed.

It must be a man thing, but Keh’s prideful aura swarmed from his body, filling the space as he
watched Zachary’s distanced figure.
By the time Zachary got onto his car, he nced over at Keh, who was Natasha’s ex-husband
and Anthony’s father.
Zachary had guessed that after witnessing Keh and Natasha’s interactions earlier.
Not to mention, Anthony bore a striking resemnce to Keh’s aloofness.
Plus, from the men’s conversation earlier, Zachary had also sensed Keh’s concern toward
Natasha. While Keh did not admit it, Zachary could tell since he was a man himself.
The only thing was that Keh did not bring up his and Natasha’s children. That was why
Zachary asked if the former knew about Anthony.
It seemed that Keh had no idea about the three kids’ existence.
The thought of that made Zachary grin as he buckled up and drove off.
Keh found Zachary’sst question suspicious, but he did not concern himself with it too much.
Instead, his mind focused on Zachary’s deration to pursue Natasha.
He could notprehend why Zachary had such poor taste to fall for a boring and aggressive
woman like Natasha.
At the same time, he felt inexplicably unhappy, as though a heavy weight was crushing his chest.
He weirdly felt annoyed as he nced upstairs.
Just then, he received a call from Fabian, who said, “Are you back, Mr. Hamilton?”
“Do I need to inform you about everything I do now?” Keh retorted.
Hearing that, Fabian did not know what to say.
It took a while before he responded with, “That’s not what I meant, Mr. Hamilton-”
“Well, what do you mean?”
Fabian answered, “Um… didn’t you previously ask me to call you before the meeting?”
“So? You’re going to call me just because I told you to?”
Fabian felt wholly helpless in that instant.
What’s up with you, Mr. Hamilton? Why are you taking your anger out on me?
Keh arrived at hispany soon after.
He wore a stormy expression all afternoon, even during the meeting, which made everyone
nervous.
When the meeting ended, all the staff quickly rushed off. Just as Fabian wanted to escape too,
Keh stopped him and said, “Come to office, Fabian.”
Freezing with one foot lifted off the ground, Fabian turned to notice the sympathetic looks his
colleagues shot him. Some even seemed to gloat over his misfortune.
Damn it. Is this a blessing or a curse? Then again, it’s not like I can run away from it. I’ll have to
face it head-on either way…
With that thought, Fabian summoned all his courage and headed into Keh’s office. “Is there
anything you need, Mr. Hamilton?”
Keh frowned. “Why are you standing so far away?”
“Gosh, I was merely afraid you would be upset after seeing me,” Fabian said while take one tiny
step closer.
Keh could not care less as he questioned, “How are things going with the investigation I asked
you to do?”
“What investigation?” Just as Fabian asked that question, Keh’s murderous re shot over at
him. Chills ran down his spine as he added, “O-Oh, did you m-mean the matter regarding Ms.
Watson?”
Seeing that Keh said nothing, Fabian knew he had guessed correctly. Thus, he proceeded.
“I’ve investigated it and was just about to report the findings to you. It turned out that Ms. Watson
was also a programmer while overseas. She earned quite a living by doing programming work for
others. However, her ie is far less than ten million.”
“That’s it?” Keh asked.
