My Wife Is So Sweet (Natalia Dawson) novel Chapter 367

Chapter 367 You Belong to Me

If only Yvonne was here.

She'd always been the most kind and caring one from when they were little, letting her brothers have everything, obedient to her parents, but...

But then she'd met him!

Still, she could rest easy. Even if she wasn't here anymore, Wilhelm swore he would protect that child. From this day forward, so long as he was still alive, he wouldn't allow anyone to touch a hair on her head!

Dealing with Matthew was quite troublesome, but with Wilson's help, it didn't go too slowly.

Wilhelm didn't hide this incident from Wilson.

He told him everything about Natalia and Jessica's true identities.

Wilson was shocked when he heard it as well.

But thinking back to the familiar aura he'd felt between her brow the first time he'd seen Natalia, he understood.

Matthew was exiled from the country.

It was still his own son, after all. He might have been cruel and committed a huge transgression, but blood was thicker than water. The old man couldn't bear to deal with it too harshly.

So after rescinding all of his power, he had him transferred to a branch company overseas.

Nominally to be the general manager of the branch, but in reality, it meant exile.

Everyone knew that the mother base of the Kawn family was in Ambario, in Eqitin. Sending a direct family son over to a pint-sized branch company outside the country didn't seem too possible.

There was a buzz of speculation, but no one guessed the truth.

Neither Archie nor Wilhelm wanted to go too public with the incident.

Archie was considering that Natalia might not be too willing to accept her true identity. If the incident got out, the secret couldn't be kept.

Wilhelm, on the other hand, was considering the family.

After all, there was the family reputation. Matthew's actions would be too much for the family name to bear if word got out.

The people of the outside world hadn't guessed the truth, but voices began to circulate that the old man had decided to allow his second son to take over the family, which was why he was sending the eldest son away to avoid a sibling rivalry.

That was equal to giving up on one to preserve another.

Nobody told those two brothers to fight so viciously that they couldn't get along anymore.

Whether the speculation was true or not, a month later, Wilhelm did formally announce his retirement on the board meeting, handing over the entire company to Wilson.

For all these years, Wilson had already become the backbone of the company through his own efforts.

So no one was surprised at the decision.

After all, if that idiot of an eldest son was to take over the Kawn property, they could imagine how that future would go.

So everyone was pleased except for Matthew, all the way in foreign lands.

On the other hand, Wilhelm had fallen into a deep conundrum.

He was troubled over whether or not to acknowledge Natalia.

He knew he didn't have much time left.

The doctors told him that his body could only carry on for another two months.

Privately, of course he wanted to acknowledge Natalia.

But he also knew that, after what happened with Anne and what Matthew did this time, Natalia's impression of the Kawn family was already at rock bottom.

If she caught wind of the truth, she'd ask after her own mother. How was he supposed to tell her about her true identity, then?

Because of that inner conflict, Wilhelm's mood plummeted.

Selena, though, with such a huge thing befalling the family and the old man in such a state, took a break from all her work and focused on taking care of the old man.

Knowing that she meant well, the old man stopped forcing her to marry Ontario. As for the future of the Kawn family, his children and grandchildren had their own fortune. He'd planned and calculated throughout his life and managed to get the Kawn family this far. The future was long and far away, and he was tired. Too tired to care.

So time passed slowly in those peaceful days.

It took a month for Natalia's injuries to fully recover and for her to return to work.

Naturally, the injuries were too severe and in too obvious a place to be hidden from the two elders of the McCarthy family. Archie wouldn't even let her carry a cup of water in regular days, so it wasn't hard for the pair to notice.

Thankfully, the wounds were healing. The two elders were pained but couldn't really say anything else about it.
