You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 157

After a few minutes, the bar was full of fallen men.

Kenneth was enjoying the scuffle as adrenaline rushed through his veins. His eyes were red and watery, and they glistened subtly with excitement.

Despite his wound tearing apart, and his shirt drenched in fresh, red blood, Kenneth remained brutal and aggressive, overpowering his opponents with his impeccable combat abilities.

It was almost as if such lunacy was the only way for Kenneth to forget, albeit temporarily, about his worries and despair.

Meanwhile, someone had quietly notified the owner of the bar.

When Zachary arrived, this was what he saw.

The bar was in a chaotic state. Shattered glasses were all over the place, and numerous men were beaten up and lying on the ground. All of them were shuddering and cowering in extreme fear and trauma some distance away from Kenneth. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Then, someone noticed Zachary's presence and called out, “Mr. Lynch! Mr. Lynch is here!”

Everyone turned their attention toward Zachary. He stood among the crowd, tapped someone on the shoulder, and everybody started making way for him.

Kenneth smirked with a strong sense of satisfaction.

Quite apart from the innocent charm that Zachary used to exude, he was now well-dressed and demonstrated considerable maturity, just like what one would expect from a veteran.

“Mr. Hamilton.” Zachary stared at Kenneth.

“So, you've finally showed up.” The latter chuckled coldly. He then lowered his volume, saying, “I thought you were too cowardly to show yourself.”

Zachary scanned the surroundings before flashing a charismatic smile. “If you want to see me, Mr. Hamilton, you could have just called me. There's no need to risk getting yourself hurt.”

He behaved differently from how he was before. The once innocent and gullible man had turned into someone foxy and ingenuine.

But in actual fact, a person like Zachary could never mask his inner demons completely.

Perhaps only Natasha would believe his trickeries.

Then, Kenneth walked toward him and said, “I'm surprised to find out that the heir of the Lynch Corporation is the owner of this bar! This side of you significantly detracts from the pleasant and cultured personality that you portray to the public!”

Zachary smiled as he quietly stared at the man.

He was of the view that Kenneth would have done his homework and studied the former's background thoroughly.

Hence, it would be a futile exercise to

attempt to deny his assertions.

“Mr. Hamilton, why not we cut to the chase?” Zachary looked at him in a gentlemanly manner.

“Leave Natasha alone.” Kenneth's tone was laced with seriousness, demonstrating that he meant business.

Zachary chuckled again.

So that's why he's here looking for me.

While I'm not sure what's the cause of his frustration, things sure got interesting!

“And if I don't?” Zachary asked, his gaze intensifying.

A cryptic smile played on his lips as Kenneth lowered his volume. “In that case, I’ll need to teach you a lesson.”

“Mr. Hamilton, are you threatening me?”

“You're welcome to form your own opinion,” replied Kenneth.

Zachary stared at him. “I thought you were in for fair competition, but much to my disappointment, you're abusing your influence and power to mount pressure against me. I admit that I'm not as influential as you here, but I'm not a pushover!”

Kenneth stared blankly at him in response.

“Does Nat know that you're doing this?” Zachary asked again.

However, Kenneth threw a question back at him. “What? Are you going to snitch on me?”

“Why not?”

The two of them had their gazes locked together, and the animosity escalated exponentially.

Then, Kenneth chuckled. “Zachary, when you're married to the Lenoir family, I'll make sure to send you a lavish gift!”

Zachary's expression darkened immediately after he was reminded of the marriage deal he was in.

“Stop harassing Natasha. If she's hurt because of you, I will destroy you and the Lynch family!” As soon as his words fell, Kenneth stood up and prepared to leave.

“I won't give up on her!” Zachary replied. He turned his head and looked at Kenneth.

“I've never agreed to the marriage. In my heart, I only want her!”

Before he left, a cold smirk appeared on Kenneth's lips.

Zachary frowned helplessly as he stared at Kenneth's figure slowly disappearing from his line of sight.

Just as Kenneth left, another person walked toward Zachary. “Mr. Lynch, are you letting him go just like that? What about our losses?”

“Let someone else tidy it up. All losses are on me,” replied Zachary.

“But...”

“He's Kenneth Hamilton,” Zachary answered.

A worried expression soon manifested on the person's face.

While there were only a few who met Kenneth personally, he was a prominent figure in society.

Owing to the monopoly of Glenport City's economy, Hamilton Corporation had the city on a string.

As Kenneth was the owner of Hamilton Corporation, his position bestowed him with immense influence and power.

Besides, Kenneth had connections with both sides of the law.

Zachary's subordinate was shocked to find out that they got into a fight with Kenneth.

Uncontrollably, he started palpitating and his legs were shaking.

Realizing his silence, Zachary uttered, “Don't worry about it. He's coming after me, not you. You'll be fine.”

“What about you...”

“I'll be fine too. Go ahead and do what's necessary. Make sure what happened tonight stays in here.”

“Got it!”

After the man left, Zachary stared at the surroundings with his hollow, unfathomable gaze.

Just then, a figure walked toward him.

“Are you Mr. Lynch?” A soft, gentle voice came from behind Zachary.

He turned around and frowned. “And you are?

She walked toward him and extended her hand. “Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Thea Jarman!”

Zachary simply stared at her hand without having any intention to reciprocate her gesture.

Thea was unbothered as she retracted her hand. “All right, please let me introduce myself. I was an employee of Hamilton Corporation in the past, and I'm a good friend of Kenneth.”

The man narrowed his eyes and stared at her as thoughts started running through his head.

Having done a background check on Kenneth before this, Zachary opined that the person before him should be the woman previously rumored to be Kenneth's fiancee.

With his gaze locked on her, Zachary questioned, “In the past?”

Thea confessed, “Yes, I've left Hamilton Corporation.”

“Then, why are you here? Is there anything that I can help you with?” asked Zachary.

“I've met you before when you were having a meal with Natasha in a restaurant.”

“So?”

“You like Natasha!” exclaimed Thea. It was not a question, but a statement.

“Yes, I do like Natasha. Nonetheless, you seem to have a grudge against her.” Zachary was blunt, not bothering to sugarcoat his words.

Shocked, Thea kept quiet for a second before answering, “Yes, I do have a grudge against her. Because of her, the person that

I love was snatched away from me.”

Zachary knew that the woman was referring to Kenneth.

“So?” he asked again.

Thea looked at him and inched closer. Her stare glistened with confidence as she said, “I feel that we can work together to achieve our collective goals!”

Zachary's unflinching gaze was fixated on Thea, scrutinizing her in the process.
