Chapter 212
The matter had caused a stir. NôvelDrama.Org content.
Reporters crowded the Hamilton Corporation building hampering traffic, and the negative news caused their stock to plummet.
Inside the company, the shareholders could not sit still. This matter was entirely caused by Kenneth personally. They could not accept this and pointed fingers in the office.
When Liam learned about this over the phone, he could not help sneering, “That's what these old guys are like. Once their interests are involved, they would start causing a ruckus. It does not matter how much profit they've taken while lying down for so many years. If there is really a problem, who can shoulder the responsibility? They can only make noise!”
After expressing his opinion, Liam asked, “What are you going to do about this?”
On the other end of the line, Kenneth's cool voice sounded interesting, “Don't worry, Grandpa, I have my own measure.”
Liam had faith in his competence. Even though he was the founder of Hamilton Corporation, Kenneth was the one who had expanded the company to its present level.
“Okay, as long as you know what you are doing. If you need me to come forward, just say it,” Liam told him.
Kenneth laughed. “Grandpa, are you underestimating me? This is such a small matter. You don't need to come forward.”
“You brat! I'm just being nice. Do you think I'll really come forward? If I have time, I'd rather go and visit my darling greatgrandchildren!”
Just at this moment, Denise's voice was heard from outside.
“Great-grandpa!”
Hearing this voice, Liam was stunned. “Oh, dear! I miss her so much that I'm hearing things!”
Nearby, Dan saw the people coming in from outside and he laughed, saying, “Old Mr. Hamilton, you're not hearing things. Your little great-granddaughter is really
here!”
Startled, the old man looked toward the door only to see Denise running inside.
Liam's eyes lit up when he saw Denise, and he hung up the phone directly to greet her. “Yo! Look who's here! It's my darling Denise. What are you doing here?”
“I'm worried about you. So, I'm here to see you, with my Gramps and Nat, too,” Denise said.
As they spoke, Liam saw the others coming in and instantly, he was all smiles. “You're here! You're all here!”
“ Great-grandpa! ”
“Great-grandpa!”
Anthony and Benjamin came over and greeted Liam calmly.
Liam nodded again and again. He just could not have enough of these two children.
“Hello, Old Mr. Hamilton,” Natasha greeted the old man.
“Nat, you're here, too.” Liam was overjoyed to see Natasha as if she was part of his household again.
Natasha nodded. “How are you?”
“Me? I'm quite...” Liam was about to say that he was fine, but when he remembered that they were here because they were worried about him, he suppressed the smile on his face and sighed, saying, “I'm fine. Nothing happened, except I got a fright yesterday.”
Dan watched in puzzlement.
Very quickly, he realized what Liam was up to, and he lowered his head to hide a snigger.
Liam noticed Dan's snigger and gave him a wink. Dan quickly followed up. “That's right. Old Mr. Hamilton did not sleep at all last night. Seeing you guys here, his mood improved quickly. Have a nice chat, I'll go and prepare some snacks and drinks.” With that, Dan headed toward the kitchen.
Natasha observed the scene through her clear bright eyes in silence.
At this moment, Terence walked over to
Liam, and he could not help but remark, “Dear me, Old Mr. Hamilton, at your age, you've seen everything. Why did this insignificant incident give you a fright?”
“Alas, I'm getting old and my heart is not as strong as before,” Liam said, sinking into the couch, and his expression suddenly seemed tired and weak.
At this point, Denise rushed over to him. “Great-grandpa, do not be afraid, I'm here for you.”
“That's right, Great-grandpa, everything will be fine,” Benjamin comforted him.
“Don’t worry. No matter what happens, you have us,” Anthony said.
As Liam watched the children comfort him one after the other, he felt close to tears.
“Well, I feel good whenever I see you children.”
While they were on this topic, Anthony turned to Natasha. “Nat, this few days, I would like to stay here and keep Greatgrandpa company.”
At this, Natasha nodded. “That's great.”
Liam's eyes lit up when he heard this.
“Denise, Benjamin, you too may stay back with Anthony to accompany Greatgrandpa,” Natasha said.
Benjamin and Denise both nodded when they heard this.
Liam could not hide the smile on his face, but he pretended to protest. “Will this be...”
Terence could not help saying, “It's okay. Don't pretend you're not pleased.”
As a matter of fact, he brought the children here with this intention.
Even though he had been on the battlefield for so many years, and he had seen everything, age had changed him. So, having a few children by his side would keep his mind free from haunting thoughts.
Terence was not the type who would voice such sentimental thoughts.
“Just listen to you. I'm truly overjoyed to have these children stay with me for awhile!” Liam spoke.
Terence looked at him thoughtfully. “Okay, okay. What happened yesterday? The news reports half and conceals the other half. It's hard to differentiate which part they report is true and which part of
the report is false.”
When he brought this up, Liam told them in detail what happened the day before.
Terence listened and frowned. “The Lynch family is quite shameless. This scheme is quite insidious because it will bring a backlash of public opinion on the Hamilton Corporation.”
“That is his purpose!” Liam said.
Natasha thought over it and expressed her opinion, “I am the reason this happened. However, Lynch Corporation put the blame on Hamilton Corporation. No matter what, it has everything to do with me. I will take responsibility for it.”
Liam frowned when he heard this. “What nonsense are you talking about? If they dare to do anything against you, they are going against me. I will fight them with all that I have, even if Kenneth doesn't take it up. I won't let them look down upon you!” Liam proclaimed.
Natasha did not doubt Liam's words. She was grateful from the depths of her heart.
“I understand. It is for this very reason that I cannot let anything bad happen to you or Hamilton Corporation,” Natasha said.
Gazing at her, Liam's brows became tightly knitted.
Then, Natasha said, “Grandpa, stay here with Anthony and the others for these few days. I still have some errands to run, so I'll leave first.”
“Where are you going?” Terence asked, looking at her.
Liam looked at her questioningly. “That's right. Where are you going?”
They felt they she was going to do something.
Natasha smiled gently. “A girl's got to do what a girl's got to do.”
