Chapter 192
When Desmond noticed that, he quickly asked, “Do you know my wife, Old Mr. Hamilton?”
Liam scoffed coldly. “Of course! Not only do I know her, but I've also seen her personality a long time ago.”
Desmond frowned in confusion.
“Mommy, when Great-grandpa brought us to eat at Infinitium, she was the one who bumped into me and scolded Ben and me!” Denise said as she held Natasha's hand.
With just one sentence, she managed to explain how Liam got to know Erin.
“Yeah, I know. I've already taught her a lesson for you,” said Natasha.
Only then did Denise nod firmly.
Listening to their conversation, Desmond was completely lost.
At that moment, Liam looked at the others in the crowd. “Oh, right. I wanted to introduce the new members of the Hamilton family during the company's annual banquet today. I didn't expect you guys to meet them under such circumstances.
As he spoke, he glanced at the three kids affectionately. Turning his gaze to the rest, he announced loudly, “No matter the setting, I still want to share this joy with everyone! Let me formally introduce these three kids. They are the children of the Hamilton family. Please look upon them kindly!”
Everyone was shocked when they heard what Liam said. Although some of them had already guessed it, they were still surprised at the truth.
“Congratulations, Old Mr. Hamilton!”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“This is great news, Old Mr. Hamilton!”
“How enviable is it for the Hamilton family to have three more kids!”
Congratulations sounded all over.
Meanwhile, Desmond was stunned.
What is going on? Did the kids call this crazy b*tch their mother? But they're from the Hamilton family. This means that Kenneth and this woman...
Upon that thought, Desmond turned pale as he realized he had just gotten himself into grave trouble.
The crowd finally understood what was going on. The relationships between each individual had become apparent.
When the couple accused Natasha of seducing their son, they were just spouting nonsense.
The Lynch family could not even be compared to the Hamilton family. Considering Kenneth's looks and power, even a blind person would know who to choose between the two.
Desmond and his wife had become a complete joke.
After receiving everyone's congratulations, Liam glanced at Desmond and Erin. “These three kids are the Hamilton family's precious gems. While I can let go of the conflict at Infinitium, what on earth
happened today?” “Old Mr. Hamilton... Nothing happened! It's just a misunderstanding!” Desmond quickly clarified.
“Misunderstanding? Didn't you say that Nat seduced your son?” asked Liam.
“No, no, no! It's just a misunderstanding. It's really a misunderstanding!” explained Desmond.
“Looks like Kenneth isn't as exceptional as your son, huh? The woman whom we have begged to join the Hamilton family seduced your son? I really want to see how incredible of a man your son is,” drawled Liam.
When Desmond heard that, he almost fell to his knees. “It's not like that. It's genuinely a misunderstanding! S-She misunderstood!” He pointed at Erin.
Liam scoffed coldly. “Do you think that everything will be fine if you claim that it's a misunderstanding? Do you think we will let you off so easily after you ruin Nat's reputation?”
Desmond was on the verge of tears. “We were wrong, Old Mr. Hamilton. We were fools for being ignorant-”
“You shouldn't be apologizing to me!”
Upon hearing that, Desmond immediately looked at Natasha. “Mrs. Hamilton, we were wrong! We were fools for not knowing who you are! Please forgive us.”
Natasha's gaze swept across them calmly. “I'm not Mrs. Hamilton. I haven't agreed to marry him yet.”
That was how independent and strong she was. She was so unbothered about a Hamilton, so the accusation that she seduced Zachary made no sense. It was not like the latter was so high and mighty that everyone wanted to have him.
Desmond froze, not knowing what to do.
Liam spoke at that moment. “Forget it. I'm feeling unwell. Kenneth, I'm leaving this to you.
“Got it, Grandpa,” replied Kenneth.
With that, Liam turned around and left,
bringing the three kids with him.
He was worried that the ensuing events would be too violent for them to witness.
When Desmond saw Liam walking away, he immediately approached Kenneth. “Mr. Hamilton, we were wrong. We were truly wrong!"
Kenneth looked down at him, a cold smirk playing on his lips discreetly. “Mr. Lynch, I respected you and gave your company a chance. I've been polite to you, but you ended up creating a ruckus here and insulting my woman. Tell me, why should I forgive you?”
Desmond stiffened at his words.
“You can't just say that you're sorry. You need to prove it with your actions, right?” A nonchalant glint appeared in Kenneth's eyes.
Desmond stared at him. The collaboration was not even in the picture now. If he offended the Hamilton family now, he would never be able to survive in Glenport City once he left the banquet.
“What would you like me to do, Mr.
Hamilton?” asked Desmond.
Kenneth continued smiling without saying much. “What do you think?”
He cast his gaze on Erin, who was slumped on the floor. With a look of disdain and iciness, he said, “Your wife bullied my kids and insulted my woman. I haven't thought of what to do yet.”
“I... I understand!” With that, Desmond immediately strode toward Erin, who was still in a daze.
When she saw Desmond walking over, she looked up at him. “Desmond-”
Slap!
Desmond gave her a violent slap across her face.
Erin was paralyzed in shock. “Desmond, what-”
“Don't call my name! You ruined everything with your utter foolishness!” spat Desmond as he glared at her.
To cut off all ties with her, he looked at Kenneth and declared, “To be honest, Mr. Hamilton, the two of us... We might seem like a couple, but we aren't legally married! She's not my wife!”
“Oh, really?” asked Kenneth with an intrigued tone.
“She's just my past mistress. My wife passed away long ago, and I did not remarry after that. That's why I brought her with me this time. I didn't expect her to offend you, Mr. Hamilton! Don't worry. As long your fury can be appeased, I'll stop contacting her in the future!” promised Desmond.
Erin stared at Desmond in surprise and disbelief. “Desmond...”
Everyone immediately understood the situation after hearing his speech.
So she's just a mistress? Isn't she acting too arrogantly? Not only did she fail to keep a low profile, but she also offended someone she shouldn't have offended!
Now, both Erin and Desmond became the butt of the joke.
“Mr. Hamilton...” Desmond shot a timid glance at Kenneth.
However, the latter looked at Natasha with a look of affection. It was obvious that he doted on her. “What do you think, Nat?”
