Chapter 856 Oliver, Let's Go
"Mr. Hastings Senior, I have something to ask you." Natalie looked at James and Helen again, "I also want to ask Mr. Hastings and Mrs. Hastings."
"Go ahead." Caleb's expression softened a bit because Natalie addressed him with respect.
"Since you've known about my identity for so long now, have you figured out how to handle the relationship and matters between me and Susan?" Natalie spoke calmly with a very formal tone as if discussing business, showing no expectations towards the Hastings family.
"I was just about to talk to you about this today!" Helen, who had been silent, suddenly spoke eagerly. "Natalie, you see, now that you've reclaimed your identity, Susan is also your sister or sister-in-law. As I mentioned to you before, what Susan did to you before was not intentional. Why don't you let Susan come out?"
Samuel looked at Helen with a hint of disdain in his eyes. Oliver's eyes flashed with a cold gaze.
Natalie looked at Helen and saw a strong sense of anticipation in her eyes to Susan, full of a mother's love for her children.
Feeling a bit dry in her throat, Natalie suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, remained silent for a moment, and looked at Caleb and James, "Is this what you both think?"
James remained silent. His previous affection for Susan was because he thought Susan was his daughter, but now, Susan was no longer his daughter but Natalie was.
James had no intention of clearing the malicious Susan's name in prison.
From all perspectives, Natalie seemed better—great marriage, good reputation, and eminent capability.
"Natalie, the Hastings family values family ties. Although Susan is not a descendant of the Hastings family, we have raised her for so many years and have developed deep affection. With the Hastings family's resources, raising two daughters is not a problem."
Caleb didn't continue and looked into Natalie's eyes. "Mr. Hastings Senior means that Susan is still a daughter of the Hastings family. In the future, Susan will stay with the Hastings family as your sister. What do you think?"
Samuel lowered his gaze and sat aside, filled with mockery. He played with the lid of the mug from time to time, making a slight "ticking" sound.
"So, do you agree with Mrs. Hastings' statement?" Natalie asked.
Caleb thought Natalie agreed and happily said, "I agree with Mrs. Hastings' statement. Natalie, you see, having a sister is also good for you."
"Susan was sentenced to prison by the court. How can I release her? I'm not a judge."
Caleb keenly sensed that Natalie was not in a good mood and seemed to disagree with James and Helen's statements.
However, Helen was completely immersed in the excitement of Susan's impending release from prison and eagerly said, "It's simple! Natalie, you go to the court and say that you misunderstood Susan due to your confusion. Susan is innocent, then she can be released without guilt! Tomorrow, let's go to court!"
Oliver's face grew dark and heavy, exuding a low pressure.
James kept pulling Helen's clothes beside him, but Helen showed no reaction. James whispered, "Shut up!"
Every time James and Helen spoke, Natalie felt as if her fragile heart was being hammered, the pain spreading from her heart throughout her body.
Natalie didn't have many illusions about the people of the Hastings family, but subconsciously felt close to them. She had a familiar feeling about this vast estate, knowing that the people of the Hastings family were the blood relatives she had always dreamed of finding.
Therefore, even without illusions, hearing these words couldn't leave her completely unaffected.
It was truly ridiculous!
These were her relatives!
Natalie clenched her fist at her side, then released it, stood up with the support of the chair, and said, "Oliver, let's go."
This scene caught Caleb off guard, "Natalie!"
Helen quickly stood up to reach out to Natalie, "Natalie, don't leave! You haven't agreed yet! If you're busy, we can go to court today!"
‘Enough. ‘
Samuel felt that it was enough to delve deep down!
Externally, he showed no reaction, looking coldly at the whole situation.
Indeed, enough. The Hastings family had been shameless towards Natalie!
But Samuel didn't want to stop it.
Since they had come, might as well thoroughly break Natalie's heart to avoid any future entanglements between Natalie and the Hastings family!
Helen was pushed aside by Oliver just a few steps away from Natalie.
There were no servants around, and Helen exclaimed as she bumped into the table corner, stopping in pain, looking very disheveled.
James looked at Oliver in disbelief.
After pushing Helen, Oliver looked at his hand with disgust, as if he had touched something dirty.
"I didn't agree with you," Natalie tacitly approved Oliver's actions, then continued in a tone as cold as Oliver's.
Many people said that couples were very similar, and people who had been together for a long time indeed tended to become very similar.
Just like Natalie now, most of the time she was the cool and gentle Natalie, the Natalie spoken of by other heirs of the Paykston family, but when she got angry, she became more and more like Oliver.
Even without anger, she was very dignified.
"Mr. Hastings Senior, Mrs. Hastings, you're already planning tasks for me before I've agreed to return to the Hastings family? How shameless. But it's okay, I never intended to become Natalie Hastings in the first place."
After living for many years, Caleb had never been so sarcastically called shameless by someone else.
Helen's facial expression changed drastically, not for anything else, but because she sensed that Natalie had no intention of letting her Susan out!
"Natalie, you agreed, why are you changing your mind so casually? Was this how the Watson family taught you in the past?" Helen suddenly became agitated, "You clearly agreed just now!"
“Agreed my foot!” Samuel sneered inwardly.
It was truly unbearable for them!
Just the thought of Natalie and Oliver leaving, and he would have to continue talking to Helen, James, and Caleb, made him feel exhausted!
"Susan tried to kill me, that's an undeniable fact. Susan is in prison with solid evidence! If I go to court and say that, wouldn't it make her and Oliver a joke?" Natalie looked at Helen as if she were looking at a stranger.
"Mrs. Hastings, do you think your child was a fool? Am I supposed to forgive Susan, who repeatedly tried to take my life and destroy my family?"
"Do you even know that I was born from you? As a mother, I command you to release Susan without guilt!" Helen suddenly caught the flaw in her words.
Oliver chuckled mockingly and said to Helen, "Looks like you'd rather go in and keep Susan company."
Going in naturally meant being punished by the court and sent to prison to accompany Susan.
Helen's face turned pale. She suddenly remembered being caught by Oliver for manipulating the elevator before, and just that incident alone was enough to land her in jail.
