Chapter 192 You Are So Sweet
Kendrick didn't stop Natalie.
If he refused her to read the document, it would only bring her more anxiety and suspicion.
Sure enough, her face turned a bit pale after reading it.
As she grew up in an ordinary family, naturally she had no idea that even having a child in a wealthy
family could be used as a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits.
Moreover, it was almost an unfair and one-sided oppression.
She raised her face after reading it and asked in disbelief, "Do... do you want me to sign it?"
Kendrick just took the document out of her hand and tore it into pieces directly. He threw them into the
wastebasket aside and said, "Just treat an outrageous agreement like that as a joke and that's it."
She was not a fool.
Naturally, she knew it was Seth's idea.
She thought that he would take it to exchange benefits with Kendrick.
"If I sign it," she asked, "then you..."
"No such an assumption at all!" Kendrick interrupted, "First, I won't let you sign it. It's not fair to you.
Second, I won't be restricted by others."
Seth's offer was rather generous. But Kendrick would not do anything to harm her for the sake of
interest, even though Seth would give him the whole Ramsey Group.
Besides, a second time of that would be likely to occur, once something like that happened for the first
time.
He couldn't be held hostage for any benefit.
Natalie became speechless immediately as she looked at him.
If... she meant, if Kendrick persuaded her to sign the agreement and said that it was a sign of love for
him, what should she do then? Deep in her heart, she felt that the document was totally unfair to
herself, but what if she sacrificed herself for his benefit?
However, he didn't persuade her to do so. Instead, he expressed his firm attitude directly.
No matter how many love words and no matter how sweet and beautiful they sound, they were not as
important as his choice at that moment.
Kendrick changed the topic, "Have you finished all the checks? You left the hospital so early, didn't
you?"
"I have. Nothing serious. Well, I have sent you the report."
"Prof. Knox said that he would check out the cause of the disease for me." He had also taken her gene.
"There's no harm in health checks." Kendrick rubbed her head and asked, "Hungry?"
"Oh right, I saw a porridge shop downstairs and it looked delicious. How about I buy some for you?"
"All right."
After she opened the door and went out, he took out the cigarette case from under the coffee table and
lit a cigarette for himself.
As he had been making a choice since he was young, it was not difficult for him to choose A or B. Just
like what she had told him before, he could follow his heart, no matter if it was A or B.
He quickly calculated the bargaining chips he had. There were six investment companies, four
securities companies and a chip semiconductor factory all controlled by him. Besides, there were
dozens of other companies where he had some controlling interest, including some shares he had in
Ramsey group. He was thinking about the shares he could control if a financial war was completely
waged.
So far, it may be impossible for him to control the whole group immediately.
But Seth couldn't go anything to him either.
It was the artificial intelligence and semiconductor business, which had just started to have some
progress, that would be affected badly. He had devoted all his efforts to them. But it was very likely that
the whole business line would be adjusted and terminated due to internal friction, which was something
he didn't want.
In that circumstance, he was taking a defensive stance.
What if he took an offensive position?
Then he would just sacrifice Ramsey Finance and start over.
Thousands of complicated thoughts were surging in his mind. The cigarette flickered in his hand. With
the bluish-white smoke, he looked rather handsome and deep.
It was a kind of expression that a man would only have when he faced major choices.
The door was opened with a click.
No one knew why Natalie came back.
Immediately, he came back to his senses. As he saw the cigarette in his hand, he just looked for the
ashtray instantly and wanted to stub it out.
Where was the fucking ashtray?
Why couldn't he just find it?
But she had seen everything. She wanted to laugh when she saw him flustered. She took out a piece
of paper and folded it up, signaling him to put the cigarette butt on it.
From his look, she could find that he was not in a good mood. But she didn't say anything, instead, she
squatted down and asked, "Want some sugar?" She stretched out her hand and there was a
strawberry-flavored milk candy in her palm.
Seeing that he didn't refuse, she removed the wrapper of the candy and put it to his lips, "Just eat a
candy when you're unhappy."
Smoking was bad for him.
The candy was so sweet. He sucked the sweets and began to soothe his brow.
"The boss said that he would deliver it to me later." She looked at him. She wanted to comfort him but
didn't know where to start.
What an issue!
It was not something that could be solved by writing papers or doing research.
The wealthy families were calculating with their interest. As she became involved, she also
experienced those ups and downs.
He held her hand and beckoned her to sit on his lap. He wrapped his hand around her waist and
lowered his head to kiss her. He put the candy in her mouth with his tongue and then took it back. Such
a touching and teasing kiss was something that she had never felt before.
"You're so sweet." He bit her lip and said so in a hoarse voice, making the strings in her mind break
continuously.
His voice was so hot that she became shy and she lowered her eyes slightly.
"Oh~" Her jaw was forced to rise again by him. He kissed her, enjoying the sweetness from the kiss.
He felt that she was so sweet and she behaved nicely.
How could he make her sad and put her in a dilemma.
He would just kill anyone who dared to force and harm her!

After going back home, Seth became more and more furious as he thought about it.
Coincidentally, he learned that Brett failed his blind date again. It was his 26th date and none of them
worked.
He took out the heart protecting pill from his desk with his trembling hands and took it.
He felt that none of his children and grandchildren could save him a worry.
He pounded the table and said angrily, "They are pissing me off. Edgar, tell me, am I wrong?" He told
Edgar what had happened today, mentioning how Kendrick rebelled against him.
Edgar comforted him, "Well, I have watched Kendrick grow up and know that he is too strong a
character. You just can't push him."
"Well, I just did that for his own good, didn't I?" Seth felt that he had been wronged, "And he just replied
to me like that, as if I had done something bad to his wife. He just started to teach me a lesson and
criticized me for taking a person as a childbirth tool!"
He was rather furious.
It was rare for him and Kendrick to argue so much in their work. As they were both tough, they would
quickly take action once something was settled.
Seth just intervened in Kendrick's personal relationship this time, but he only met with a rebuff.
"It will be better to leave it to Kendrick and let him deal with it!"
Seth pursed his lips.
He was rather determined and he would never give up until his goal was achieved.
Then he would see who couldn't stand it and thus compromise first.
But soon, before he could figure out what he would do next, Ramsey Finance was short sold
maliciously, causing its stock price to plummet a lot. Its financing product was sold off and brought the
group a loss of hundreds of millions and countless bad debts in an instant.
Financial business was just highly risky.
As Melvin came back and was greedy for financial interests, he just wanted to take over some shares.
Kendrick did not object and gave them to him directly.
Unexpectedly, the bank started to fail at that moment.
Misfortune just never came singly.
Seth held an emergency meeting overnight. But Kendrick was absent and his assistant just couldn't
reach him, no matter what way he had tried.
Finally, as a last resort, Seth called Natalie.
Looking at the man lying on his lap and reading a book, Natalie forced herself to lie, "I don't know
where he is!"
