Deceiving Her Ears: Ignoring Your Call-Chapter 89: She Said Something, and Isaac Vaughn Suddenly Froze
"What’s your decision?"
Natalie pulled her hand from Mrs. Cole’s grip, her tone indifferent: "I don’t understand."
Mrs. Cole’s expression showed a moment of awkwardness.
Seeing Natalie’s reaction, she thought to herself, could there be an unexpected turn of events?
But the next second, she noticed the small marks on Natalie’s neck and felt reassured.
"Good girl, since you and Logan are already..." She took Natalie’s hand again, "The Cole family will definitely take responsibility for you."
After a pause, she added, "As for the rumors about you and Isaac... or whatever they say, your uncle and I won’t take it to heart; those must be lies. As long as you and Logan are doing well."
"You see, even though this is the first time I’ve met you, I really like you the more I look at you."
Mrs. Cole seemed to show deep affection for Natalie.
What an act.
Natalie expressionlessly pulled her hand away once again.
She glanced at Mr. Cole and her father, then back at Mrs. Cole, and said, "It’s not a lie; it’s true. I am indeed with Isaac Vaughn."
Mrs. Cole’s face changed, "This..."
"Nat!" Matthew Beckett sternly rebuked, his expression dark.
Just at this moment.
Logan Cole suddenly burst in from outside.
"Damn it! Natalie, where is that lover of yours? I’ll kill him!"
"Oh my! Son! Son, what’s happened to you?"
Mrs. Cole, seeing Logan’s condition, immediately left Natalie and rushed toward him.
"Oh dear, what happened here!"
Logan winced in pain when his mother touched the wounds on his face.
"It hurts! It hurts so much!"
"What happened to you!" Mr. Cole stood up, asking angrily, "Who hurt you like this?"
Logan pointed at Natalie, gritting his teeth: "It was her! Her lover! Damn it! If I don’t get revenge for this, I’m not a man!"
With that, Logan rushed at Natalie, grabbing her arm, "Tell me! Where is your lover?"
Natalie looked at him coldly, her gaze full of mockery.
But after all, this was The Beckett family’s place.
Matthew Beckett would not just stand by and watch his daughter be bullied.
He came over, pulling Natalie to his side.
"Cole, let’s talk this out."
Glancing at Natalie, he said coldly, "Calling him a lover at every turn isn’t appropriate, is it?"
Mr. Cole also reprimanded, "Logan, make yourself clear!"
"She..."
Before Logan could speak, Natalie interrupted:
"Yesterday, he drugged my hangover drink and was trying to take me away by force when my assistant Tristan Jordan happened to run into him. My assistant only acted to save me."
"You’re talking nonsense!" Logan’s face turned red, pointing at Natalie, "Who, who drugged you! You’re talking rubbish!"
"Exactly! Miss Kendall, you should speak with evidence!" Mrs. Cole said displeased.
"Evidence?" Natalie glanced at Mrs. Cole, speaking calmly: "He bribed the waiter from that place. I’ve already found the waiter, and he admitted he was acting on Logan’s instructions."
"Should I call him in to confront you?"
Mrs. Cole was at a loss for words.
Seeing this, Mr. Cole gritted his teeth and strode over, slapping Logan across the face, "Beast!"
"Dad! It was clearly you..."
"Shut up!" Mr. Cole shouted angrily.
Logan could only swallow his grievances in silence.
"Matthew, it’s my fault for not raising my son properly!" Mr. Cole apologized to Matthew Beckett, "I’m sorry to you."
But clearly the person most deserving of an apology in this situation was Natalie.
Mrs. Cole pulled her son over, looking at his injuries with sorrow.
The victim, Natalie, was rendered invisible in their eyes, unnoticed by anyone.
So she quietly turned around and went upstairs.
*
Over an hour later.
Her father knocked on her door.
"Nat, are you alright?"
Concern came late.
Natalie shook her head.
Matthew Beckett sighed, "Cole was just momentarily bewitched. Your Uncle Cole said he would definitely discipline him strictly when they return."
"It’s also my fault. I meant for you to meet more friends. When you have more friends, you won’t be easily deceived by anyone."
His words implied he wanted her to stay away from Isaac Vaughn.
Perhaps, her father and the Cole family had reached some agreement.
For the sake of her inheritance, they didn’t mind pushing her to someone like Logan Cole.
If that’s the case—
"Dad, I’d like to hold next week’s inauguration ceremony at The Bardmoor Hotel, is that alright?"
Matthew Beckett’s expression shifted slightly, a trace of darkness in his eyes.
He suppressed his inner gloom and said calmly: "Fine, it’s up to you."
After saying this, he turned and left.
——
Isaac Vaughn arrived at the hospital, seeing the new caregiver Old Mr. Grant had found for Jason Grant.
It was because of this that he had returned from Rhovan.
"I’m sure I saw Mr. Grant’s eyes move, I saw it very clearly. But when I told Old Mr. Grant, he wouldn’t let me inform the doctor."
Isaac’s expression was inscrutable; he just instructed the caregiver to continue keeping watch and to update him if there was any news.
He also gave the caregiver some money.
The caregiver expressed his gratitude profusely, promising to inform him of anything at the earliest opportunity.
Isaac went to Jason Grant’s hospital ward.
On the hospital bed, Jason Grant lay peacefully, showing no signs of waking.
He sat down on a chair by the bed, but before long, Old Mr. Grant entered.
"What are you doing here! Get out!"
Old Mr. Grant demanded him to leave as soon as he saw him.
Isaac helplessly stood up and walked toward his grandfather.
"Grandfather."
"Don’t call me that! I have no such grandson!" Old Mr. Grant turned his head away, unwilling to look at him.
Isaac sighed as his phone rang.
He saw it was a call from Natalie.
He asked his grandfather to take care of himself and then left the room.
"Hello, what’s up?"
Isaac walked to the elevators and pressed the button.
"How long can you stay in Janton? Can you stay until next Monday?"
"Hmm? Is there something going on?"
Natalie clutched her phone, thinking about her decision, she said: "Next Monday is my inauguration ceremony, there will be many people attending."
"Isaac, I want you to be with me."
——
The Bardmoor Hotel.
At the inauguration ceremony of the new chairman of the Beckett Group, all the business elites and upper-class celebrities from Janton gathered.
After the passing of former chairman Sebastian Beckett, rumors circulated that he had passed the Beckett Group to his granddaughter.
There was also talk that the girl was just about 20 years old.
However, most people believed it was just a rumor.
The successor should be Sebastian Beckett’s eldest son, Matthew Beckett.
Even his grandson Julian Beckett was considered more credible than a 20-year-old girl.
The lounge.
Natalie Kendall donned a white suit with her hair up, looking sharp, with a touch of a strong woman’s aura.
Isaac Vaughn smiled slightly, taking out a diamond brooch to pin it on her.
"Nervous?"
Natalie shook her head, looking at him, "You’re here, aren’t you?"
Isaac bent his arm toward her, "Yes, with me by your side, there’s no need to worry or fear. Even if there are wolves or tigers ahead, I’ll pave the way for you."
Natalie linked her arm through his, and as they walked out, she said something that caused Isaac to stop in his tracks suddenly.
