Chapter 57
While Natasha went upstairs to shower, she was spammed by people in the company in the chat group.
Hundreds of messages popped up on her device, and when she went through the news, it was all about Hamilton Corporation's confession and the Rolls-Royce Phantom they gifted.
Many of the photos were sharp and clear, especially the one that showed the sportscar with the eye-catching red.
Fortunately, none of the pictures caught Natasha's front.
Someone online commented: This reporter is terrible! Did he deliberately avoid taking pictures of her face?
Are you sure they're not filming? The woman looks like a movie star, no?
Come on. Do you see cameras or any other equipment around? It's impossible that they're filming. She does look really good, though.
Maybe they only took photos of her back because it looks better than her front?
I really want to know what she looks like. Does anybody know? Pretty please?
Does anybody know where she got the skirt? It looks amazing!
All the comments were about Natasha, and none focused on the sportscar. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Even so, Natasha still furrowed her eyebrows in displeasure. Looking at the timestamp, it seemed the news had surfaced for a while.
Natasha inquired: Who took these?
Somebody online joked in response: We don't know, but it's obvious that they were taken from a distance, Ms. Watson. If this goes on, your real identity as Ms. Wealthy's going to be exposed.
Another responded: I really want to add your face onto the photos so that the haters would shut up. Is that okay, Ms. Watson?
Natasha simply responded: Why don't you give it a try.
Immediately, the netizen did as suggested and uploaded an edited photo.
Natasha wiped her hair dry and threw the towel aside before turning on her computer. After some click-clacking on the keyboard, she effortlessly wiped the content off the internet.
When one of the netizens realized that as well, he asked: What did any of you do? Why is the news article gone?
The other netizens then tried refreshing the web page but failed to find the articles.
Hence, somebody mentioned Natasha in their comment: It's you, isn't it, Ms. Wealthy? Just because you're a programmer doesn't mean you can abuse your rights and stop our gossiping.
Natasha left one last reply before shutting down her computer: It's best to stay away from false information. Otherwise, you'll be misled!”
So it really is you!
The netizens immediately went into a frenzy.
Eventually, they all came to a conclusion: It's not a good idea to gossip about a programmer!
Even though the news articles were removed, they still managed to reach a large number of people online, including Anthony, Benjamin, and Denise.
“The car was gifted by Kenneth?” inquired Benjamin as he and his siblings gathered around a phone.
Anthony raised an eyebrow in puzzlement. “But Nat said she bought it.”
“Then how do you explain this news article?” questioned Benjamin. “They look exactly the same! It was also reported on the same day. I don't think it's possible to fake something like this, do you?”
Anthony then fell silent, so Denise voiced, “Do you think Nat's only saying that because she doesn't want us to know the truth?”
“Nat wouldn't lie.” “Does that mean Nat bought it from Kenneth?” Benjamin took a guess.
The three then fell into deep thought for a moment before Denise made her guess. “Mr. Handsome probably confessed his love to Mommy but got turned down, so he decided to gift her his car. In the end, Mommy proudly offered to buy it from him instead.”
Impressed by Denise's imagination, her siblings gave her a big thumbs-up.
“But doesn't Kenneth have a girlfriend?” inquired Benjamin.
The three fell silent again for a while before Anthony blurted, “Scumbag!”
Denise did not agree with that. “I don't think that's the case because I've seen the woman. Mr. Handsome didn't seem close with her, so that's probably not true. Besides, Nat's much prettier than that woman.
“Are you sure?”
“Appearance-wise, I'm a hundred percent sure.
In response, Benjamin and Anthony looked at their sister in silence.
When the three checked the news again, the articles were gone.
“Somebody must've taken down the articles about Nat,” stated Benjamin after putting his phone away.
“From the looks of it, it's very likely that Mr. Handsome is Daddy.”
As soon as he heard that, Benjamin turned to Anthony. “Any updates from Kyle?”
“He's probably busy with his missions recently. I couldn't get a hold of him, but the result should be out already.”
“Does he really have to keep us hanging like this? It's supposed to be a small matter, but now, he's gotten me all wound up,” complained Benjamin with a frown.
When the three were still whispering to each other, Natasha suddenly came out of her room.
Hence, they hurriedly dispersed.
“What are you guys plotting again?” questioned Natasha while narrowing her eyes at them.
As usual, Benjamin and Anthony said not a word but pushed Denise forward instead.
“Mommy, I just saw someone who looks like you on the news,” voiced Denise with a chuckle.
Natasha was shocked when she realized she was not as fast as she thought.
“To be exact, it's you,” uttered Denise. “After all, not everybody can look as pretty as you do.”
In response, Natasha nodded in appreciation. “And?”
“Did you get the car from an admirer of yours?” inquired Denise with a raised eyebrow since that was what she really wanted to know.
Natasha knew exactly what was going through their mind, so she shook her head firmly. “Do you think I wouldn't tell you if that were true?”
“But the car—”
“A friend of Grandpa's wanted to gift it to me. He treats me as if I were his own granddaughter, but I turned him down. I paid him for it instead,” explained Natasha.
A friend of Gramps'? That'd be Kenneth's grandfather. Benjamin rolled his eyes at Natasha for being so crafty with her words.
On the other hand, Denise nodded somewhat seriously in response. “I see. He must be a pretty generous man then, isn't he, Mommy?”
“Yes, quite,” replied Natasha, chuckling.
“Can I meet him?”
“Well...” Natasha was unsure how to answer that question.
That's brutal! Denise sure knows how to play coy. As much as he wanted to burst into laughter, Benjamin tried his best to keep it in.
“Can't I meet him? If he's that good to you, he's probably like Gramps, so I'd like to see him. Maybe he'll be good to me too,” pleaded Denise.
“I'm sure you'll get to meet him one day,” promised Natasha with an awkward smile.
“Really?” “Yes, really,” responded Natasha with a nod, trying to brush off the topic.
“You're the best, Mommy!”
The woman did her best to keep her emotions suppressed as she shifted attention to Benjamin and Anthony. “Anything else, guys?”
“No,” answered the two while shaking their heads.
“Then you should go help your Gramps in the kitchen.”
Anthony immediately did as told, but not Benjamin, who pointed at Denise. “What about her?”
“Just look at how adorable she is. I think I'll keep her by my side,” replied Natasha.
“That's not fair, Mommy!” complained Benjamin.
“You've got a problem with that?”
Even though Benjamin was not happy with his mother's decision, he decided to go along with it anyway. “Nope,” replied the boy before turning around to leave. “The unfairness in this family is almost unbearable!”
“Don't be jealous, Benjamin. Since I'm so lovable, you should appreciate me too,” voiced Denise playfully as she leaned against Natasha.
