You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 178

Erin's heart still skipped a beat whenever she thought about the confrontation with the Hamilton family at Infinitium a few days before.

However, she did not dare to let Desmond know about it. Otherwise, her plans to marry into the Lynch family would fall through.

The company must have been unaffected because I've always been overseas, so the Hamilton family did not know about me.

With that thought in mind, Erin became at ease.

When she saw the smile on Desmond's face, she smiled as well. “It seems like the company is going to enter the international market under your lead.”

It had to be said that Erin's words were words pleasant to Desmond's ears.

He had fallen for her back then because she was too skilled in buttering others up.

Every word that came out of her mouth

was one that would delight another. Her words would make a man's ego inflate.

“Hahaha!” Desmond boisterously laughed. “It's still too early to say that we're entering the international market, but if we work with Hamilton Corporation, we'll definitely be able to get a standing in the national market.”

“That will be something we'll be working on for the next two years. I believe that you'll achieve that soon,” Erin said.

Thrilled by her words, Desmond stared at her merrily before nodding his head.

“That is the good fortune you bring with you. Once everything is settled, let me know anytime if there's anything you want,” Desmond told her.

“Really?” A trace of joy flashed past Erin's eyes, but she still kept her collected look on her face.

“Of course.”

Erin was already starting to contemplate what she wanted.

Right then, Jacques sneered. “I'd advise you to stop thinking of joining the Lynch family because I won't let you do so!” With that, he wheeled himself clumsily toward his room.

Erin's smile froze on her face.

Desmond watched his son leave with a frown. He wanted to say something to him, but in the end, he was silent.

When he turned back to Erin, he said, “He...”

“It's fine,” Erin told him. “It's something I'll have to be patient about.”

“I'm glad that you understand.”

Erin still smiled in the same soft way she usually did.

Right then, Desmond's eyes flitted toward Zachary, and a frown appeared on Desmond's face. “Why are you still standing there? Come over.”

Erin turned around to look at Zachary and waved to him. “Your dad is calling for you. Come over quickly.”

Zachary mulled over it for a few seconds before walking over.

Just as he took a seat, Desmond said, “Your engagement with Winnifred Lenoir—”

“I won't marry her!” Zachary cried out before Desmond could finish his sentence.

Desmond froze. Then, anger seeped into his eyes. “What did you just say?”

At that, Erin quickly tugged the hem of Zachary's shirt and whispered, “Zachary, don't make your father mad.”

However, it was as if Zachary had not heard her. As he stared at Desmond, he questioned expressionlessly, “I think I was clear about this. I won't marry Winnifred. If Lynch Corporation is about to work with Hamilton Corporation, I'm sure all of the problems will be resolved. In that case, why do you want me to marry Winnifred?”

“It's one thing to work with Hamilton Corporation and another for your promise with the Lenoir family!” Desmond uttered.

“Why do I have to sacrifice my love life?”
