My Disabled CEO Stood up And Kissed Me (Natalie) novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191 The Birth Agreement

They were frightened, never expecting that who they were talking about would be here.

But Natalie didn't show any feelings and just asked, "You guys know it from the internet?"

Seeing that they gave no reply, she raised her eyebrows, "Aren't you going to answer me?"

One of them hesitated for a long time and lowered his head because of Natalie's look. He finally plucked up the courage to say, "Well, there is a post talking about you on the internet, but I don't think it is true."

"No. But the post has been deleted."

Natalie didn't have much time browsing the internet and reading hot news.

She didn't know at all that the post went viral on the internet in the early morning and it was all about her, Mrs. Ramsey.

Someone sent a post in the gossip group to expose her "family background", saying that she was a dishonorable illegitimate daughter and her mother was a bar girl and a mistress. The post also mentioned that she married into the Ramsey family in a deceptive way (to bring good luck to Mr. Ramsey actually). It even inferred that she loved someone else and was unfaithful to the marriage, adding that she dropped out of college and bullied her roommate who thus suffered from depression.

The post was written from the perspective of that roommate, attaching a diagnosis of depression.

Certainly, all of that just set the scene.

Finally, the post mentioned that Seth originally planned to give Mr. Ramsey the whole group. However, because Mrs. Ramsey had a congenital heart disease, he thought about the health of the family's future heir and had been hesitant.

The post was quickly deleted, but it still caused a lot of discussions.

The Ramsey family was the first financial magnate in Hamgrad. However, because of strict family rules, its descendants seldom showed up in the entertainment news.

As for Melvin, he was on legal news for his crime.

The netizens just read the news for spilling the tea.

Apart from that, it was written to take the bull by the horns, directly targeting at the establishment of an heir. Therefore, it was for the group's senior director and Seth to read.

But the post was just nothing, no matter how bad she was, whether she was an illegitimate daughter or a misbehaving woman, even though the fact that she bullied others was true. As long as she gave birth to a healthy child, nothing mattered.

And that was the living reality.

Nobody cared about what the mother was like, as long as she could deliver a baby.

And then she would be rewarded with a million-dollar mansion.

Many wealthy daughters-in-law lived that kind of life.

Sure enough, because of the post's influence, Ramsey Group's stock price plummeted on the opening trading in the morning and its market value dropped by several hundred million in an instant. The PR in the group was forced to show up, clarifying that Seth, the chairman, was in good health and had not yet thought about choosing an heir. They also added that the participants would compete fairly and Seth would choose the best.

Natalie rested her hands on the wall.

She knew that what happened this time was not to be sniffed.

The post targeted her on the face of it, but in fact, it was against Kendrick, the successor of the group.

She gritted her teeth so hard that it made her sore.

Suddenly, she was confused. Why did she come here? What for? What was she going to do exactly?

There were so many things coming to her at once. The latter was harder than the former. Although she could solve all the academic problems and even perform surgery on Kendrick and Susan, which was rather difficult, she...

Should she deliver a baby right now?

But how could it be? And there was only one purpose for giving birth to a child and that was to be a tool for competing for heirs.

Obviously, it was not what she wanted.

...

There was an emergency regular meeting in the morning.

Seth pulled the long face throughout.

As the meeting was over, he came to Kendrick's office.

Seth was sitting on the sofa with his cane banging on the ground.

Kendrick just read the document with no expression on his face, having no intention of getting round his grandpa.

Seth was rather angry. He smoldered and then he shouted at Kendrick, "You just spoil her, don't you!"

He was furious. Kendrick just criticized everyone on the board and even showed him no respect. He said in anger, "If she stamps on your head one day and doesn't take you seriously, you just stew in your own juice then."

And then he relented and tried to play the sympathy card, "Well, you can favor a woman, but do not pamper her. If you spoil her a lot, she might not know who she is. Well, you are rather innocent in personal relationships and restrained by her. What if she runs away one day? What should you do then?"

Kendrick raised his eyes.

Seth continued to play the same trick, "Just listen to me. Ask her to sign this. Well, to tie her down first, at least."

A stack of documents was handed to Kendrick.

He opened it and a birth agreement loomed into his view.

At first, he thought that giving birth to a son would be rewarded with a 100 billion mansion.

It was rather common in a wealthy family.

But he underestimated Seth who was rather calculating.

Obviously, the agreement just boxed Natalie's life. To deliver a healthy baby boy within two years? If not, the Ramsey family could reproduce with a better gene, to put it shortly, find someone else as the mother.

In that circumstance, Natalie only needed to parent the child and be a good nanny. It didn't matter whether the child was her own or not.

At the very moment, the selfishness of human nature was fully demonstrated.

Kendrick frowned rather deeply.

If Natalie saw the agreement, it would inevitably cause an uncontrollable family conflict. He knew what she was like.

She got pride and self-esteem.

It was impossible for her to sign that agreement.

Seth exhaled desperately and knocked his cane on the ground angrily, "You... how can you stand up to me? Will I do anything bad to you? Tell me!" He just stood up and said, "Well, I just plan for your future. Although you two are in a good relationship now, won't you change your heart one day? I don't know. As you have nothing to tie her down, how can you still spoil her like that? Look, you just show me your righteousness. When it comes, you will just stew yourself in your own juice then."

"I don't think Natalie will stay by your side obediently. I know what she is like. Well, when she is not under your control, it will be the day she abandons you."

Seth had experienced a lot and met many people.

Certainly, he didn't think that feelings alone could make a relationship last for a long time.

The eternal love relationship must work with various complex interests.

As his grandson was disabled and couldn't stand up, he didn't look like someone who was rather good at running a relationship. He felt that Kendrick just couldn't control his wife. If something like that continued, he was really worried that his grandson might be hurt in the end.

Kendrick did have thought about it before.

He once begged Natalie humbly and asked her to make a promise.

Now Seth just spoke it out clearly. Kendrick only felt solemn. He slightly tugged at the corner of his lips and said finally, "Then I will respect her choice."

Seth was boiling with anger.

Was Kendrick really the one he taught who was strong and tough and who would destroy everything that he couldn't have?

"Good. You just disobey me for the sake of such a woman. All right. I will just leave you alone. What you will do is none of my business."

"She is my wife!" In front of his grandfather's great anger, Kendrick just spoke calmly with an indescribable tenderness instead.

He never thought that he would make a choice between the group and her one day.

But it didn't seem to be difficult to do so.

Compared to his previous cold and boring life with work only, he preferred the mundane but warm days now with hustle and bustle.

A man did need a sense of career and ambition.

But it was not an excuse to sacrifice the interests of those around him.

Seth was so angry that he just turned around and left.

The glass door was open.

Natalie was standing at the door.

She met Seth's gaze.

Seth knocked on the floor with his cane without even looking at her. He just straightened and walked away with a long face.

As Natalie just left the hospital and came to the company, she heard Rose saying that the chairmen were inside the room and that there seemed to be a dispute between them.

She walked in and found that Kendrick was tidying up the files on the desk.

She just found the birth agreement at a glance.

At first, she was puzzled and then she asked curiously, "Is it that kind of agreement that will reward a mansion for having a child?"
