Deceiving Her Ears: Ignoring Your Call-Chapter 90: Even More Explosive

"What’s wrong?"

Natalie turned her head to look at Isaac.

Isaac looked at her with a complicated expression.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Natalie: "Mm."

A long pause.

Isaac curled his lips into a smile: "So am I going to rise to power through marriage now?"

Natalie nodded earnestly.

——

The inauguration ceremony was held in the main hall.

People from all sectors had already arrived.

Matthew forced a smile, but where no one could see, his eyes were dark and gloomy.

The fact that his father handed Beckett Group to Natalie was seen by outsiders as a lack of trust in him, thinking him useless, less capable than a young girl, and this was a huge slap to his face.

Even though Natalie is his daughter, so what?

These people treated him with courtesy on the surface, but were definitely mocking him behind his back.

He had become the laughingstock of Janton.

"Dad, the inauguration is about to start."

Julian walked over to call him.

Matthew, with a cold face, gritted his teeth and couldn’t help venting his resentment to his son.

"Do you think your grandpa is senile? How could he hand Beckett Group to Nat? Isn’t this..."

Before he could finish, suddenly, the main hall doors opened and Natalie appeared holding Isaac’s arm.

This caused a sensation.

"Isn’t this handing Beckett Group over to someone else?" Matthew said angrily.

Julian turned to look, his eyes darkening.

"Julian, I think Nat is bewitched by Isaac. At this rate, Beckett Group will probably belong to the Vaughns sooner or later! Where will there be room for us father and son to speak then?"

Julian clenched his fists by his side, his expression sinking.

Natalie walked forward step by step, holding Isaac’s arm.

Isaac, tall and handsome, with piercing black eyes full of confidence.

Natalie, like an ice sculpture beauty, emotionless but so captivating one couldn’t look away.

The two of them were the most striking sight; no one’s attention could be drawn away from them.

"Isn’t Natalie his former aunt-in-law, and they are just openly walking together like this?"

"Oh, what’s this? Things were already chaotic, a little more chaos doesn’t hurt? Besides, Jason is practically half-dead now, how can a dead man compete with the living?"

The discussions of these people, more or less, reached the ears of Natalie and Isaac.

Isaac looked at her.

All the words were unpleasant.

At this moment, he really wanted to take off her hearing aid, so she wouldn’t hear these words.

"Just pretend you didn’t hear it."

He finished, only to be retorted by her: "Why?"

Speaking, she tilted her head towards a direction, "But just now, those two people said we looked quite well-matched. Why pretend not to hear it?"

Isaac laughed softly.

"Nat."

Matthew walked up to the two, glanced at Isaac, his face unhappy: "On such an important day, what are you doing?"

"Today, all the reputable people in Janton are here, you mustn’t mess around! Do not embarrass the Beckett family and Beckett Group! Let go of his arm right now!"

Natalie looked at her father, her voice calm: "But I am not messing around."

After she finished, she gently tugged Isaac’s sleeve, signaling him to move forward.

Isaac glanced at Matthew with a smile: "Uncle Beckett, we’ll be going ahead."

In Matthew’s eyes, this was a provocation!

"You! You all!" His face turned livid with anger.

*

On the main stage.

Julian finished his speech and next was Natalie’s turn to give her inauguration speech.

She stepped up and walked to the front of the stage.

In the audience, everyone’s gaze was on her.

But in her eyes, there was only one person.

Isaac stood at the forefront, his lips slightly curved, his gaze filled with encouragement and trust.

He believed she could do very well.

Natalie exhaled gently and stood before the microphone.

"Hello, everyone. I am Natalie Kendall."

The ten-minute inauguration speech ended, and the applause thundered below the stage.

Whether genuine or insincere, it didn’t matter.

In the following procedure, Natalie should have stepped aside.

But she stood still.

The host thought she had forgotten the process and softly reminded her.

"Miss Kendall? Miss Kendall?"

Natalie looked at Isaac, smiling slightly.

She was often expressionless, indifferent to everything.

This smile, like the melting of ice and snow.

"I know, everyone here is very curious about my relationship with Isaac Vaughn."

Her cold voice rang out.

Hearing this, Matthew and Julian exchanged glances, thinking this was bad.

Matthew immediately wanted to stop Natalie.

But before he could get on stage, Natalie had already announced her relationship with Isaac to all of Janton.

"Yes, we are married."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Matthew froze in place, unable to believe Natalie had just said it out loud.

This nearly severed his subsequent plans.

He could not, must not, force her to abandon her inheritance rights.

Otherwise, Beckett Group would fall into Isaac’s hands.

He staggered, almost unable to stand.

"Dad!"

Julian leapt forward to support his father and at the same time looked at Natalie on stage, his eyes complex.

He had not expected her to go this far.

So absolutely.

Leaving no room for retreat.

How much did she trust Isaac Vaughn?

Among those present today, besides business figures, prominent and noble people, there were also quite a few reporters.

With such explosive news, they immediately swarmed forward.

"Miss Kendall, you said you’re married to Mr. Vaughn? When did you get married?"

"Was it before or after you became the Beckett family heir?"

The intention of this question was to question Isaac, suspecting him of being driven by interests.

Before Natalie could answer, another reporter asked:

"Miss Kendall, as far as I know, you were previously engaged to Mr. Vaughn’s uncle, why did you turn to Mr. Vaughn instead?"

"With what you did, did you ever consider how to explain to The Grant family? I heard your former fiancé had an accident, and might never wake up; is it because of this that you chose the healthy Mr. Vaughn?"

Great, now it came down to veiled satire, accusing her of being unfaithful and abandoning her former fiancé.

Just then, a hoarse male voice sounded from the door—

"You adulterous couple! How can you face me?"

"One is my cherished nephew, the other my beloved fiancée, you both betrayed me, where is your conscience? Do you still have any conscience?"

Natalie looked at the person in shock.

Wasn’t he said to be unable to wake up?

Isaac was also stunned.

"Who is that?"

"Is it Jason Grant? Miss Kendall’s former fiancé? Mr. Vaughn’s uncle?"

"My gosh! He woke up!"

Reporters swarmed over to surround Jason, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

"Mr. Grant, you woke up?"

"Mr. Grant, what do you think of today’s events? Just now, Miss Kendall announced her marriage to Mr. Vaughn."

The reporters thrust their microphones forward.

Jason coldly looked at Natalie on the stage, then made eye contact with Isaac below the stage.

What he said next was even more explosive than Natalie announcing her marriage to Isaac!
