Chapter 208

Chapter 208 All Because Of Kenneth Kenneth narrowed his eyes. “Do you mean to let her do it on her

own?” Natasha nodded. Furrowing his brows, Kenneth protested in a reluctant tone, “But she’s still just

a child. Even if you can bring yourself to allow it and I agree to it, Grandpa would definitely object.

There’s plenty about the entertainment industry that you don’t know about that I’m familiar with.

Underneath the glamorous surface is a dog-eat-dog world.” “I might not know the entertainment

industry well, but I’m well aware that no career is ever easy. Since money and power matter a lot in the

industry, it’s easier for Denise to maintain her principles, for she doesn’t covet them and naturally won’t

be distracted. But if you shelter her from the very beginning, she will grow used to being pampered.

So unless you can be by her side, protecting her for eternity, please close ranks with me,” Natasha

asserted. Furrowing his brows, Kenneth, despite his reluctance, couldn’t deny the truth in Natasha’s Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

words. Even though he might always be able to shelter her, while the wealth of Hamilton Corporation

would ensure that she would always live in luxury, it was true that it was impossible for him to be by her

side at every single moment. Holding that thought, he turned his gaze to Denise. Just thinking about

her being part of a place like the entertainment industry broke his heart. “Denise, what do you think?”

Kenneth asked. After dwelling upon the question, she answered, “Tony has said before that we can

only protect those around us when we’re strong. Even though I do want both of you to protect me, I

hope more than anything to protect both of you one day.”

Kenneth had barely heard her words when his eyes narrowed. “As a result, I feel that Mommy is right.

Mommy, I would like to stand on my own two feet,” Denise declared. Subsequently, Kenneth reached

out to stroke her head. Despite the knowledge that it was for her own good, he still felt a stinging

heartache, as she was, after all, his daughter. Even though he couldn’t deny his reluctance, he did

acknowledge that Natasha was right—Denise could only mature by being independent. With that

thought in mind, Kenneth informed her of his decision. “All right then, I’ll support you in whatever you

want to do. But just remember, as long as someone upsets you, you must tell me about it.” Although he

wouldn’t interfere with her progress, anyone who had the intention to bully her was welcome to try.

They would definitely not be let off with just a warning. Daddy…

The sight of Kenneth filled Denise with warmth. Is this what it feels like to have a Daddy? This is

amazing! Looking at Kenneth with eyes that sparkled as brightly as the stars, Denise nodded with

conviction. “Mmm-hmm, I know.” Kenneth, with his face brimming with affection, stroked her head in

response. When she saw how enamored Kenneth was with his daughter, Natasha couldn’t help but

comment, “Since she’s just exploring the matter, it doesn’t necessarily mean that she would become an

actress. Perhaps she might end up realizing that she has no interest in it at all. Therefore, don’t let your

imagination run wild.” “That would be for the best. In such an event, she should return and take over

the family business instead,” Kenneth suggested. Natasha was speechless. “What about Tony and

Ben?” Denise inquired cheekily. It was only then that Kenneth remembered his two sons. After

pondering for a fleeting moment, he replied, “They’re the ones who should be venturing out on their

own. It would be great if they could make something of themselves. Otherwise, all you need to do is to

make sure that they don’t go hungry. Everything else will still be yours!”

Denise was ecstatic to hear the answer, not because she was going to inherit most of the wealth, but

because she was the apple of her father’s eye. Hmm, I’m Daddy’s favorite! All this while, she had been

the one who was the most pampered at home. Now that she had a father, she realized that even more

attention was being showered on her. I’m truly blessed! The smile on her face was so vibrant that it was

brimming with glee. Despite the indifferent look on her face, Natasha knew that she had made the right

decision when she saw how delighted Denise was. Raising the glass of red wine to her lips, Natasha

took a gentle sip.

At the same time, Kenneth swept his gaze toward her, for she looked inexplicably mesmerizing when

drinking wine. Without making any comments, he, too, took a sip of his wine. As the three of them had

their reflections cast onto the glass, it was a truly heartwarming scene. Meanwhile, inside the hospital,

the doctors were desperately trying to save Erin’s life in the emergency room when Zachary arrived.

Desmond, who was on the phone when he saw Zachary, quickly ended his call with a few short words.

“How did this happen?” Zachary demanded, looking at Desmond. Desmond pondered briefly before

answering, “While she was being driven to the airport, she caused an accident when she fought for

control of the steering wheel with the driver.” Zachary’s eyes narrowed. “There’s no one else to blame

but herself,” Desmond remarked. “If you hadn’t tried to send her away by force, the accident could’ve

been avoided!”

Zachary asserted. Even though he was being manipulated by Erin all the time and yearned for freedom

from her yoke, this wasn’t the way he wanted to escape her grasp. Hence, he was filled with anguish

the moment he learned of the accident. Desmond’s brows furrowed. “What else am I supposed to do if

not this? Do you think that she would leave willingly? Let me tell you, after offending the Hamiltons, this

is her only way out. If only she had been cooperative back then, all this wouldn’t have happened. Do

you think I enjoy doing this? Or do you want Lynch Corporation to be destroyed?” The Hamiltons! It’s

them again! Zachary clenched his fists. At that moment, Desmond let out a sigh. “I’ve arranged a

meeting with the Hamilton family and will be using the opportunity to convince them into letting us go.”

He had barely spoken when his phone rang again.

After glancing at the number, he answered it while making his way out. Coincidentally, the doctor

emerged from the emergency room after its doors were opened. “Is any of Erin Charstille’s family

members here?” Regaining his senses, Zachary hurried over. “I’m her son.” “The patient’s life is no

longer in danger. But due to the traumatic brain injury she has suffered, she might not… be able to

wake up forever.” Zachary heart stopped the instant he heard those words. “What do you mean she

might never wake up?” Zachary asked. “In layman’s terms, she’ll become a vegetable. But don’t you

fret, as there are many precedents of such patients waking up, although it will have to depend on her

own consciousness and determination.” Stunned at his feet, Zachary stared blankly into space.

Whatever the doctor said subsequently didn’t register with him. He simply remained silent till the doctor

was done. Standing still, he could feel a devastating blow strike his heart. She will never wake up…

She will never ever wake up… That also means that no one will threaten me anymore. In fact, that

would be the last time anyone manipulates me.

Isn’t this what I have always yearned for in my dreams? After Zachary paced around in circles, his eyes

began to redden. At the sight of the bench beside him, he walked over and kicked it upside down.

She’s never going to wake up. This is all Kenneth’s doing! With that thought in mind, Zachary brought

out his phone, scrolled through his call history, and called back one of the numbers. “Are you still

interested in collaborating? Let’s meet,” Zachary proposed to the person on the other end of the line.
