Chapter 857 Let's Go, Honey
Oliver said at the time, “let Helen go once, considering it as a return to Helen, and a new birth to Natalie.”
"I'm not as moral as Natalie, I often lie," Oliver added. “So, I might send you to jail to accompany your precious daughter Susan whenever I'm not happy!”
Although Helen felt sorry for Susan, she had seen Susan in prison with no skincare products, dirty and smelly. No, she absolutely didn't want to go to such a place!
Helen stared at emotionless Oliver and Helen was afraid to take a step back, not daring to speak again.
"Mr. Hastings Senior," Natalie decided to make it clear once, "I have no relationship with the Hastings family. You have always used Emma to persuade me, but now that Emma is gone, you have no trump card to negotiate with me. I'm curious, what gives you the confidence to think I will listen to you? Is it the lack of Emma's reminders and urgings?"
Caleb shuddered all over, sitting dumbfounded in his chair.
"What are you remembering?"
"I haven't remembered anything."
Natalie just had this assumption.
Since she often followed Emma when she was young, Marjorie, a woman spoken highly of by her, must be able to restrain conceited Caleb.
"I’ll never see you again." Natalie turned to Samuel, who had been silent and smiled, "Let's go, thank you!"
She wanted to thank him for standing against the Hastings family for her, making her not feel so isolated.
She also wanted to thank him for keeping silent, supporting me in this way. Even though she didn't acknowledge him as a brother, he still stood by me.
Thank you for understanding me, keeping the secret of my origin, knowing that I don't want too much involvement with the Hastings family.
Thank you for letting me find a little warmth here.
It's a pity I can't say these words to you in person, Samuel.
"Let's go, my husband." Natalie took the initiative to take Oliver's arm, feeling very tired.
Oliver looked at Natalie in astonishment.
Natalie smiled, said nothing, and walked out silently.
By the time Caleb reacted, Natalie and Oliver had already left the courtyard without looking back.
From Natalie's attitude, she had no intention of staying with the Hastings family at this old mansion.
Caleb had a premonition that Natalie would never come back.
"Samuel, think of something!" Caleb said urgently, "I can see that you have a good relationship with Natalie. Persuade Natalie, even if she doesn't want to come back, we can't let go of Susan, we can't lose both daughters. Hurry up and go after her and talk!"
"Talk? Talk about what?"
Only now did Samuel realize how foolish it was to spend so much time sending so many photos to Natalie's email, trying to get Natalie to agree to come here.
"Caleb, you didn't consult with me when you and James discussed how to handle the relationship between Natalie and Susan."
"We are elders of the family, this is not a big deal, no need to consult with you," Helen grumbled unhappily, "and who doesn't know you are biased towards Natalie!"
"I am biased towards Natalie, just like all of you are biased towards Susan, this is a fair thing. There must be someone in the Hastings family who is biased towards Natalie, right? Otherwise, do you want me to join you to bully Natalie?"
"Samuel!" Caleb was very angry, "Are you acting like an elder now! Listen to what you are saying!"
"Mr. Hastings Senior, I know I'm acting like an elder now, but you don't know that you have become foolish because of old age." Samuel sneered, "Listen to what you are saying today, you are clearly fighting for the best interests of Susan!
Susan going to jail is not Natalie's fault. Natalie is your granddaughter. For so many years, the Hastings family has not fulfilled its responsibility to raise Natalie, letting Natalie suffer so much. Now that she's back, you still want Natalie to forgive Susan, who once wanted to kill Natalie?"
You're joking.
"Dad!"
"Quick! Get the pills!"
Caleb was so angry that he had a heart attack, but fortunately, the servant was quick to have the pills ready and hurriedly made Caleb take them, while another servant supported Caleb.
"Caleb, over a month ago, when I showed you the paternity test, you had the same reaction. You seemed to want to bring Natalie to your side immediately to make up for her, but look at you now? You only have Susan in your heart."
Samuel was very disappointed, first with this decaying Hastings family, and now with the members of the Hastings family.
Samuel looked around, the Hastings family mansion was indeed luxurious, quaint and profound. But now he was just very grateful that his little sister Natalie had escaped from her and away from the members of the Hastings family.
"Caleb, I have something to do in my office, I'm leaving."
Really, I can't stay here for another moment!
"Samuel!" At the moment Samuel turned around, Caleb finally couldn't help it, "Samuel, are you really unwilling to try? Natalie was Emma's favorite child."
Samuel maintained his posture with his back to Caleb and others, "Caleb, pushing away Natalie, who was Emma's favorite, also has your share of credit."
Caleb sat dejectedly in his chair, looking like he had aged several years in an instant.
"Dad, are you okay?" James worried about Caleb's health. What James had just said was like a stab to Caleb's heart.
"I'm fine." Caleb waved his hand numbly.
He suddenly realized that when Natalie asked at the beginning, "Have you figured out how to handle the relationship and affairs between me and Susan?" she was giving them a chance to make a choice. But they all chose Susan.
Caleb knew that Susan, who had been raised by Emma for many years, was inherently kind. Because he had also heard from the outside world that Natalie was easily swayed, so compared to Natalie, he preferred Susan.
Natalie and Susan, one was his blood relative, the other he had watched growing up, he wanted to hold them both.
"A person really can't be greedy!" Caleb sighed self-reproachfully, "James, arrange for the others to leave, let's end it here."
Caleb's peripheral vision caught Helen, who was still stunned and immersed in the despair of not being able to save Susan with a look of disgust flashed in his old eyes, "Take Helen away."
-
The Hastings family saw Natalie and Oliver leaving under the escort of bodyguards ahead of time, and then Samuel also left the old mansion, already guessing that Natalie and the Hastings family would definitely separate away.
Therefore, when James politely suggested that everyone should go home, they all left very quickly, even worried that staying here for too long would incur Oliver's resentment.
The conflict with Natalie was with the Hastings family, not with these affiliated families. Oliver shouldn't vent his anger on them!
