Chapter 160
Seeing Kenneth's name, Natasha felt her heart skip a beat uncontrollably.
Although she did not say anything, she knew that it was Kenneth, as she had seen him wearing the same outfit earlier that day.
Natasha played the video and watched it once again carefully.
The video was clear. However, it was difficult for one to watch it due to its dark surroundings. As Natasha watched closely, she noticed the smudge on his stomach.
He must have injured himself there.
Natasha's gaze darkened by the second.
Meanwhile, the conversation continued in the group chat.
A text appeared: Are you serious? Is that really Kenneth? The rest of the colleagues carried on with their gossip.
One of the colleagues replied: Of course!
My friend patted his chest and assured me with that piece of information.
Another message popped up: Do you have any photos? I'll believe you if there's a photo as proof!
I don't have any. Someone requested to delete those photos. My friend finds it strange to see the leaked video too.
Do you know the reason of the fight?
No idea. According to the rumors, a woman tried to approach Kenneth but ended up being rejected by him. Because of that, she asked someone to beat him up to vent her anger. I think she didn't expect him to be badly beaten like that too.
Is something wrong with that woman? How could she do that to him just because she couldn't get him?
She acted as if she owns him by asking people to beat him up.
Do these people even know who are they beating?
From what I heard, they were shocked to
find out his identity afterward.
They must have a death wish for doing that! I hope they are all right.
I truly sympathize them.
Reading all the messages from the group chat, Natasha felt a little annoyed.
She put down her phone and glanced at the laptop beside her. Later, Natasha switched it on and began to type on the keyboard nimbly. In an instant, a flashing dot started to appear on the screen.
Seeing that the dot displayed was a hospital, Natasha felt relieved, and her eyes gradually turned calm. With that, she shut down her laptop. Just when she was about to get up, her phone rang.
Natasha picked up the phone and saw a text from Zachary that read: Nat, are you asleep?
She simply responded: No.
He replied: Are you free tomorrow? I wish to treat you to a meal.
Natasha pondered for a moment before replying: Okay.
I'll pick you up around noon.
She replied: Okay!
Another text from Zachary came in: You should rest earlier. Goodnight!
Natasha stopped replying. She got up and walked toward her bedroom.
Everything can be solved with a good night sleep!
Meanwhile, Fabian had been staying in the hospital for one night.
He had been thinking about how to explain his whereabouts last night to Kenneth when he woke up later.
The dark circles under his eyes were pretty obvious. Despite thinking about it for the whole night, Fabian still could not think of a justifiable excuse for himself.
I'm in deep water right now! There's nothing I can do about it!
As the sky gradually turned brighter, Fabian was tempted to just run away.
Just when that thought crossed his mind, Liam appeared at the hospital early in the morning.
Seeing him, Fabian stepped forward hastily. “Old Mr. Hamilton, why are you here?”
With a darkened expression, Liam shifted his gaze toward Fabian. “Why didn't you inform me of something that serious?”
From his tone, Fabian assumed that Liam had already found out everything.
He lowered his head and asked, “You know everything?”
“He's my grandson! How would I not recognize his face?” With that said, Liam pushed open the door and walked inside.
Just then, Kenneth just woke up from his sleep. He could still feel a slight pain in his head.
Seeing the simmering fury on Liam's face, Kenneth frowned a little. “Grandpa, why are you here?”
“I'm here to see whether you're dead or not!” Liam yelled furiously.
“Why are you so angry early in the morning? Who got on your nerves?” Kenneth responded.
Liam approached him and scoifed coldly, “Who else can get on my nerves?”
Kenneth turned his gaze at Fabian who was standing at the door.
Fabian shook his head almost immediately, showing that he had nothing to do with it.
“You're getting braver by the day. You haven't fully recovered from your injury. How could you go and fight forty people all alone?!” Liam was so angry that his face had turned an ashen gray.
Hearing his words, Kenneth glared at Fabian once again.
Fabian could not help but shoot him a helpless look. It has nothing to do with me! This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
I have no idea who uploaded the video online. I'll teach that bast*rd a lesson once I discovered his identity!
Liam bellowed, “Kenneth, just put an end to your life if you don't wish to live anymore! After all, you aren't the only heir of the Hamilton family. When you die, I'll pass everything to Nat for her to inherit
the Hamilton family. Nat is a kind girl, and she'll surely agree to my request. Unlike you, you're always giving me a headache and heart attack!”
Kenneth was rendered speechless.
Nevertheless, he kept his silence, knowing that Liam was merely worried about him.
As a matter of fact, Kenneth had decided to wash his hands by quitting the illegal activities for Liam. Deep down, he was aware that the Hamilton family had very few connections. Besides, Kenneth had seen how Liam supported the family his whole life. Losing his son was undeniably a big blow to Liam. Despite that, Liam held himself together for Kenneth. Having a sense of filial piety, Kenneth made his decision to quit.
However, Kenneth admitted that it was truly his negligence. I have fu*ked up this time.
Knowing that he was in the wrong, Kenneth uttered guiltily, “I know you're worried about me. Since you've given me a lecture, you should calm down and stop being angry. It's not good for you, after all.”
“You're not making me angry. Instead, you're giving me a heart attack!” Liam voiced.
Noticing the fury on his face, Kenneth continued, “Stop overthinking. A blessed man like you would be having the time of your life with your grandchildren in the future! Hence, you must stay alive to enjoy that!”
Upon listening to Kenneth's remarks, Liam was livid and helpless at the same time.
“What exactly happened yesterday?” Liam asked.
“It was nothing. I had some drinks and that was all,” Kenneth said briefly.
“Drink? Why would you go for a drink out of the blue?” Liam continued asking.
Kenneth remained silent.
With that, Liam narrowed his eyes and fixed his attention on him. “Did you have a fight with Nat?”
Hearing her name, Kenneth felt a heavy weight on his heart.
“No,” he replied.
“If that's true, why would you go to Zachary's place and create havoc there?” Liam questioned.
Kenneth then lifted his head to look at Liam. “It seems like you knew what happened. Why are you asking me about it then?”
The corners of Liam's lips curved up as he sneered. “I'm not here to interrogate you.
I'm here to mock you. You must be regretting now.
Hearing that, Kenneth was at a loss for words.
“What now? Are you losing your confidence already?'
Kenneth narrowed his eyes and stared at Liam. “Do I look like I lack confidence?”
Subsequently, Liam sized him up before answering, “Yes. You look lame.” “There must be something wrong with your eyesight. I'm confident that I could get Natasha!” Kenneth enunciated his words clearly.
With that, Liam's eyes glowed a hint of relief.
“Are you admitting that you have feelings for her?”
His expression dimmed at his question. Before this, I'm unsure and confused about my feelings. However, after what happened yesterday, I finally figure out my true feelings for her.
“Yes. Wait for my good news. I'll marry her and make her your granddaughter-in-law!” Kenneth emphasized.
