Chapter 51 Be A Good Girl
Kendrick did not worship God or believe in destiny.
However, he was willing to go to Saint Hill Temple to pray for Natalie's safety.
Natalie stared at the small protective talisman in her hand and then looked at him with wide eyes. "Did
you ask for it for me?"
"Yes!" Kendrick said, "May you be safe!"
The tone in which he said it was as soft as a note that danced on her heart.
Natalie immediately grasped the protective talisman tightly, smiled, and said solemnly to him, "I will
wear it all the time."
Suddenly, she thought of something.
Her eyes rolled, and she said, "Should I..."
Kendrick guessed what she was going to say and warned her with a straight face, "Don't try to test
whether it works!"
Natalie thrust out her tongue.
Kendrick leaned forward and said in a low voice, "What happened yesterday is over!"
He was going to deal with the follow-up himself.
He sat up straight and then said in a soft tone, "Be a good girl!"
Natalie nodded. "I have always been a very good girl."
Hearing this, Kendrick couldn't help but think, "Always good?
I am afraid she is only good at sweet talks!
She is really a girl with quite a personality.
In her, I can feel the ultimate purity.
She never gives a good face to people she hates.
However, she's extremely gentle and tolerant towards those whom she likes.
She has a clear demarcation between whom or what to hate or love."
Kendrick had been holding aloof as an outsider. He had never interfered in other people's lives.
A person's growing environment and personality made a big difference in his life situation.
As a cold and aloof man, Kendrick had always felt that it was already not easy for him to lead a good
life.
However, he was now worried about Natalie and even wanted to take care of her.
Kendrick could feel that some things had strayed from their original tracks when he didn't know.
Natalie carefully put on the protective talisman.
It was Kendrick's first gift to her.
Actually, it was not.
The first gift should be his divorce agreement when she first came into this world and opened her
eyes.
"Anything else?" she leaned over and asked.
"The rose pancake and the chestnut pie are on the table, and the roasted duck is in the refrigerator."
Kendrick tapped her forehead gently with the second joint of his index finger.
Natalie pursed her lips and smiled.
She was thinking about her snacks.
...
Reuben contacted someone he knew overnight and asked him to delete the live recordings from the
secret network. He stamped his feet at home angrily, looking like he wouldn't be satisfied unless he
could send Natalie to prison.
However, he didn't dare to offend Kendrick easily.
He longed to know how Natalie had bewitched Kendrick so that he would care so much for her.
Reuben couldn't let it go.
Soon, however, Kendrick asked to meet him in person.
When Reuben arrived at the top office of Ramsey Group, Kendrick, who was wearing a white shirt and
black suit trousers, was sitting on the sofa in a casual manner.
Although he was sitting, he exuded an overbearing aura.
As a result, it could be imagined how domineering he would be if he could stand up.
Reuben gnashed his teeth before he came, but after he saw Kendrick, he cringed.
Kendrick greeted him, "Sit down!"
Hearing this, Reuben sat down obediently.
Kendrick didn't talk nonsense or beat around the bush. He directly asked Brock to play the recording
for Reuben. Facing Reuben's shocked expression, Kendrick put the contract in his hand in front of him
and said, "Look at this."
Reuben held it up suspiciously.
After reading the contract for a while, he looked up at Kendrick in disbelief.
To his surprise, Kendrick was about to transfer part of the development right of the West Goldburg
project to him.
Reuben naturally did not believe in free lunches. After all, he was not stupid. Therefore, he asked,
"What are the conditions?"
Kendrick smiled at him lightly and motioned him to continue his reading.
At the end of the contract was a treatment consent from the psychiatric department of Harmony
Hospital.
The subject of the treatment was Nora Glover.
Reuben finally understood Kendrick's meaning.
He wanted him to send Nora to a mental hospital himself.
Kendrick said with regret, "It's really a pity to hear that Mrs. Quinn has a mental problem. It must be a
great blow and a heavy burden to you, Mr. Quinn. How about signing this agreement and letting a
professional psychiatrist take care of her?"
He handed Reuben a black autograph pen. "In this way, you will be able to focus on the development
project in West Goldburg. Am I right, Mr. Quinn?"
Reuben hesitated.
He thought, "Kendrick is now threatening and inducing me to send Nora to a mental hospital for
treatment.
Obviously, he's using me to help Natalie get rid of Nora."
Reuben took the pen and said while trembling, "Nora just got into a dead end for a moment. She's
much better now."
Kendrick stared straight at him and said word by word, "In my opinion, she is crazy. A normal mother
would never drug and live-stream her daughter, even if they are not related by blood."
Reuben turned pale and dared not even contradict.
"You have two choices. Send her to prison or hospital." Kendrick reached out and tapped on the table.
"Take my respect and make a choice, my dear father-in-law."
He was hinting at Reuben to make a wise decision.
Reuben was struggling with himself.
Nora and he had been married for 20 years, and the two of them had long shared the same interest.
Therefore, it was really hard for him to make the choice to send her to a mental hospital.
Brock, who was standing aside, said, "Mr. Quinn, you have three daughters!"
Indeed, if this matter was exposed, the reputation of the Quinn family would be completely destroyed.
In that case, neither of his two daughters would be able to marry a better person, and this would even
affect Sophia's marriage.
Reuben looked up and reconfirmed, "As long as I sign this consent, I'll get the development right of the
West Goldburg project, right?"
There was a flicker of cold contempt in Kendrick's eyes. He asked Brock to take out a statement and
told Reuben to sign it.
That was the statement made by Natalie's lawyer to break off her relationship with the Quinn family.
However, the statement subject had been changed.
Now it was Reuben who took the initiative to break off with his daughter.
Although the results were the same, the nature was different.
Hamgradish people emphasized filial piety, and it was never right for a daughter to break off the
relationship with her father, no matter for what reason.
Therefore, Kendrick had to take everything into consideration for Natalie.
"You can choose not to sign any of them, which means you are determined to stand against me, and I'll
take your challenge," said Kendrick in a calm tone.
It was a threat.
"After you sign them, even if you choose to break off with Natalie, you'll still be my father-in-law, and
we'll always be in the same boat."
It was an inducement.
With no doubt, Kendrick was a natural superior, for he was very good at manipulating people's minds.
Brock also said in a bewitching tone, "Mr. Quinn, if I were you, I would definitely take the development
right of the West Goldburg project. After all, there will be $2 billion in profits once the project gets
underway. No smart guys will refuse it. You can always change your wife, not to mention that Nora is
not a virtuous wife. She will only weigh you down. Mr. Quinn, I often imagine how successful you'll be if
you're burden-free! In my opinion, you'll shock the whole business world!"
Thinking about the 2 billion dollars that he was about to receive, Reuben gritted his teeth and signed
three documents in succession with trembling hands.
As he had made a great decision, he was extremely excited at the moment, and the muscles on his
face kept twitching, from which his uncontrollable excitement could be seen.
What he did not know, however, was that there would never be a free lunch, but a set-up.
Neither did he know that he had fallen into a trap laid by his seemingly gentle son-in-law.
Reuben left with delight.
