Chapter 211 I Hope You Can Protect Me
Dermot really did listen to her words.
Natalie's cries became even more pronounced as she ran towards Oliver, exclaiming, "Oliver... I'm in pain..."
Oliver looked at her flushed face, feeling heart-broken and angry. He glared at Evelyn and said, "Evelyn, do you really think you can act without consequences? The Stanley family is not powerless!"
"Natalie’s words are incorrect. She was the one who accused me of slapping her. How can I admit to something I didn't do? But now, fine, I indeed slapped her," Evelyn shrugged, as if she had been forced into this admission.
"Evelyn!" Oliver angrily shouted, but his hands were tied because Dermot was present. He couldn't take any action against Evelyn.
Evelyn shrugged, seeming unfazed. "Oliver, I understand your affection for Natalie, but you need to be more discerning. Don't let yourself be used without even realizing it."
"What do you mean?" Oliver frowned.
Evelyn chose not to elaborate and turned to Dermot beside her. "Let's go. It seems we won't be able to enjoy this meal."
"Okay," Dermot nodded, and the two of them walked out of the restaurant.
It was only when they were at a distance that Natalie's cries grew louder. "Oliver, they've gone too far! I can't tolerate it!"
"But Natalie, Evelyn has Dermot protecting her. We... can't do anything against her," Oliver admitted, realizing that Evelyn had gone too far, but he wasn't confident in facing off against the Doyle family.
Natalie seemed to have anticipated his response. She continued, "So what if it's the Doyle family? You're still the eldest Mr. Stanley of the Stanley family. You're no less capable than Dermot."
Oliver felt a glimmer of joy at Natalie's words, but he still had to face reality. "My father won't agree."
Oliver was aware that it would be difficult to confront the Doyle family. He understood his father's character well.
"Oliver, my parents have never liked me. I know they won't stand up for me. But... I hope you can protect me," Evelyn looked at him with a mix of hope and sadness.
"But I..." Oliver sighed, realizing that the Stanley family wasn't under Evelyn's control.
Taking advantage of the situation, Natalie struck while the iron was hot. "You are the eldest son of the Stanley family. You should have taken over the company a long time ago. Your parents will grow old eventually. You can't always rely on them, can you?"
"You are not inferior to them, why haven't you tried to take over?"
"If you are worried, I can help you. You know my capabilities with the Barns family before. With me here, I guarantee the Stanley family can quickly develop. Even Dermot won't be your match."
Perhaps in Evelyn's eyes, she thought Natalie was trying to frame her today. But Natalie herself knew that her goal today was to make Oliver make up his mind to take over the Stanley family. Otherwise, it would always be the two old ones controlling the Stanley family and she wouldn't be able to do anything at all.
To deal with Evelyn, she had to first control the Stanley family.
"Can I really do it?" Oliver was unsure.
"With me here, you definitely can," Natalie nodded at him, knowing that he was starting to be persuaded. She continued, "You can't just stand by and watch me being bullied forever, can you? Oliver, you promised to protect me when we got married."
