Not Twins

Chapter 193

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

She also realized why Hamilton Corporation would announce a collaboration with Lynch Corporation.

There was no such thing as a collaboration, nor was it about showing Desmond respect.

Kenneth 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 glanced 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,

articulating 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

will come true? Natasha, who do you think you are? You’re just a-”

Slap!

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

“B*tch! Shut up!”

Erin’s head spun after she was slapped 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, Kenneth nodded with feigned reluctance. “Okay, then. I’ve got to admit that Nat is too soft-

hearted. If it were me, the outcome 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 Kenneth.

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

At that moment, Kenneth glanced 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 flabbergasted.

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

Kenneth’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 Kenneth and the Hamilton

family.

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

Grandpa?”

Natasha glanced 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 was completely clueless. However, since she asked, he gave it to her immediately.

“Thanks!”

“Y-You’re welcome.”

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

was almost suffocating.

Naturally, Kenneth 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 the latter’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 glass 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 Kenneth 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 exclaim how generous Kenneth 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 Kenneth did not say anything about

it, no one would dare to collaborate with Desmond anymore.

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

Undoubtedly, they would be blacklisted.

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 away completely. 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 glanced 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 blame 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!”
