Chapter 106
Chapter 106
Caroline was heartbroken and helpless as she watched her daughter suffer because of love.
As someone who was a winner in love, Caroline couldn't understand the feeling of not being able to live without a man. But seeing that Thea was in so much pain and afraid that she would put an end to her life, Caroline couldn't bear it anymore and comforted, “Okay, okay. If you really wish to be with Kenneth, I'll definitely help you. As long as you listen to me, I promise that he'll come back to you.”
Only then did Thea stop crying. She looked at Caroline in disbelief. “Really?”
“Have I ever lied to you? Thea, there's something that you have to remember. Women can appear to be weak, but in truth, we must never be weak.”
“Then what should I do?”
Caroline leaned over and whispered something into Thea's ear. Thea stopped crying after hearing what Caroline said.
“Mom, will this really work?”
“That's how I managed to get your dad in the palm of my hand. What do you think?”
Thea thought about her father, who used to be a playboy. However, no one knew when and how he began to change and became truly loyal to Caroline to the extent that he would do anything for her.
Thea nodded continuously. “Okay. I'll listen to you!”
“That's my girl. The most important thing you should do right now is to take good care of yourself so that you can have the energy to go forward.”
Thea stopped crying and nodded. “I understand.”
Only when Thea had slowly calmed down did Caroline let out a sigh of relief.
Suddenly remembering something, she looked at Thea and asked, “Thea, have you met Old Mr. Hamilton before?”
Thea nodded. “Yes, I have. Why?”
“Do you know who are the parents of the two children he's with?”
“Children? What children?”
“You don't know about it?”
Confusion was written all over Thea's face. “There aren't any children by Old Mr.
Hamilton's side. I've seen him many times, but I've never heard of any children before.”
Caroline narrowed her eyes as she thought about it. After that, she looked at Thea.
“Thea, you should rest well. Leave the rest to me.”
“Okay.” Thea didn't think too deeply into it. At that moment, she only wished that she could recover sooner so that Kenneth would return to her side.
After leaving Thea's place, Kenneth felt relieved.
Indeed, he was only grateful to Thea, and he only thought of her as a friend. Back when he first took over the company, he was still young and a little arrogant. Therefore, a few shareholders of the
company joined forces to make things difficult for him. It was Thea who had stood by his side and helped him get through the most difficult time of his life. All those years, she was the one who had helped him take care of everything.
Kenneth didn't know what love was. So even though he once had a little thought of being in a relationship, he had simply shrugged it off.
He knew that he didn't love Thea despite not knowing what love was.
They were meant to be just friends and nothing else. It was only because he didn't want to lose a friend like her back then that caused things to progress to that state.
However, little did he expect things to turn out that way.
Right when he was thinking about that, his phone rang.
He took out his phone and answered the call when he saw that it was from Fabian.
“Mr. Hamilton, I managed to get my hands on surveillance footage.”
“What surveillance footage?”
“The footage of Ms. Watson's car being tampered with and her being followed... I feel that someone is targeting her.”
Upon hearing that, Kenneth furrowed his brows and said, “I'll be right there.”
Instead of going to Natasha's ward after hanging up the call, he went back to the company right away.
In the office, with a laptop in his hand, Fabian walked toward Kenneth and turned the screen to him.
“Mr. Hamilton, look. As per your instructions, I went through each of the surveillance footage that day. On that day, Ms. Watson had a meeting in the office until it was really late, and she left by driving her car out of the underground parking lot. So I tried looking from there, and I can't believe I actually found it!”
In the video, a tall and burly man could be seen going under and doing damage to Natasha's car.
As Kenneth watched the footage, fury burned in his dark eyes.
Fabian clicked the next footage and said, “I found this from the underground parking lot of Prosper Technologies. I wanted to find out if it was intentional or if Ms. Watson was unlucky, so I checked all the surveillance footage of that day and found this figure in the end.”
From the surveillance footage of the underground parking lot of Prosper Technologies, when that man was about to tamper with Natasha's car, he suddenly went to hide in a corner because Fabian and Kenneth turned up.
“His clothes, height, and shoes, they're all the same. Judging from this, I say Ms. Watson wasn't unlucky. That man had the intention of hurting her,” Fabian said.
Without realizing it, Kenneth clenched his fists as he watched the surveillance footage.
“What about the relationships I asked you to look into last time?”
“I investigated it. Ever since Ms. Watson came back from abroad, she had been spending most of her time at work. She didn't have much contact with anyone other than the people at work. If you're talking about her enemies...” “Just say it.”
Fabian smiled sheepishly. “Other than you, there doesn't seem to be anyone else.”
Kenneth was speechless. He shot an angry look at Fabian, and the latter winced.
“B-But that's the truth. Besides you, there wasn't anyone else who—” Here, Fabian paused abruptly as he thought about something. “Wait. I think there's one more person.”
Kenneth glared at him. “Keep spouting nonsense and you'll regret this!”
“No! It's true! You know... What was his name again? The guy who almost took advantage of Ms. Watson... G-Gaston! That's it! Gaston Williams!” Fabian remembered it after slapping his head gently.
Kenneth narrowed his eyes. If Fabian hadn't brought up Gaston, Kenneth would've already completely forgotten about him.
“What do you think, Mr. Hamilton? Could it be him?” Fabian asked. “But he shouldn't be. He's been captured by the police.
Logically, it shouldn't be him. Besides, even if he wants to seek revenge, instead of getting his revenge on Ms. Watson, he should—Eh? Mr. Hamilton, where are you going?
As Fabian rambled on and on about his analysis, Kenneth shot up to his feet, took his car keys, and walked away.
Immediately, Fabian asked, “Mr. Hamilton, where are you going? You have a meeting later that you've pushed back for days. If you continue to do that, the shareholders won t stay quiet. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“The detention center.” Obviously, Kenneth only answered the first part of Fabian's question.
“Are you really going there?”
“We'll know for sure if it's him when we get there.” Kenneth wasn't going to take any chances when it had to do with Natasha's safety.
Fabian hesitated for a while. “1-1'11 go with you, then. Wait for me!” After that, he placed the laptop on the table and ran after Kenneth.
I don't want to stay back and let those old shareholders pester me. They're too annoying!
