After the police announced the results of their investigation, the earlier news regarding Hamilton Corporation was deleted, and their share prices rose once again. In fact, it became even higher than before.
Of the netizens who were previously on Desmond's side, some still believed the conspiracy theory, while others shut their mouths. Regardless, this brief interlude did not seem to affect Hamilton Corporation in the slightest.
In the evening, Liam gave Zeke a call and found out that Natasha was the one who led to Desmond's capture.
Upon hearing the news, Liam was stunned for a long while.
“Where did you find such an amazing granddaughter-in-law, Old Mr. Hamilton? In my view, she will be able to hold the Hamilton fort down easily,” Zeke praised.
Liam slowly regained his senses and instantly replied, “You're right!”
“She is meticulous yet clear-headed. What a brilliant woman, indeed. I even thought of hiring her as my assistant!”
“No, you can't,” Liam rushed to object. “Police forces like you have to be on the frontline every single day. You even have to interact with criminals! It's so dangerous. I can't let my granddaughter-in-law be in such dangerous situations. Don't even think about it.”
Zeke's laughter sounded over the phone. “I knew you wouldn't agree to it. However, I heard that she and Kenneth are divorced. Do you still have a say in what she does?”
Even when the topic was brought up, Liam remained adamant. “So what if they're divorced? She's still part of the Hamilton family. Moreover, they're going to remarry soon anyway, so stop daydreaming.”
The man on the other end of the line laughed in amusement. “All right, all right. I won't bring it up anymore, but do help me to keep an eye out for young single ladies who are just as brilliant as your granddaughter-in-law. My son's still single, after all.”
Liam quickly replied, “As long as you leave Nat alone, I'd be happy to help!” “Okay, I'm counting on you.”
Liam was incredibly delighted.
“All right, Old Mr. Hamilton. I have to go to a meeting now. See you soon!”
“Okay, go ahead.” With that, he hung up.
Terence was peeling apples when he noticed the joyous expression on Liam's face. “Since when is Nat remarrying into the Hamilton family? Don't even think about it,” he couldn't help but say coldly.
In front of others, Liam could put up a stubborn front, but he became meek in the presence of Terence.
“If I didn't say that, Zeke might actually recruit Nat! It's such a dangerous profession. Do you want her to be on the front line?” Liam replied.
“He was just joking.”
“Since when did Zeke joke about things like this?” Liam retorted.
“It doesn't matter whether he's joking or not. More importantly, are you sure you don't have that thought in mind?” Terence asked.
The old man pursed his lips. After all, he knew it was impossible to deny it.
Everyone could clearly tell how much adoration he had for Natasha.
“Nat is such an accomplished woman. It's only natural that I want her to marry into the family, don't you think so?” Liam decided to change his tactic instead.
Terence rolled his eyes at the old man. Although Liam's words sounded convincing, those were different matters altogether.
Noticing that Terence was remaining silent, Liam added, “All right, fine. Just look at that expression on your face. Let me tell you that Nat has been a huge help to the Hamilton family. It was because of her that we were able to survive this predicament unscathed.”
The knife in Terence's hands paused at his words. It was only after he had listened to the entire story that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it was dangerous, Natasha did not go to extreme lengths to overcome the situation. At that thought, an indescribable feeling rose in Terence's heart.
“I'll call Kenneth and get him to invite Nat back for dinner. We have to celebrate!” Having said that, Liam rose to his feet to get his phone.
Right at that instant, a car could be heard pulling in.
