Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) -
Chapter 207
Chapter 207 You Decide Sharon's manager, Jessica, who was watching behind them could hardly bear to look. The powerful Hamilton family doesn't need the money at all, so why would they allow their daughter to join the entertainment industry? Despite how glamorous it looks, there are plenty of dark secrets that aren't revealed. In fact, a distinguished family like them would probably know better than anyone else.
If one doesn't come from an influential background, one would have to rely on sexual favors to progress in one's career. Upon hearing Sharon's words, Kenneth threw Natasha a look with his brows furrowed. Even though Denise was also his daughter, he still felt it necessary to seek Natasha's opinion. "Ask her." Natasha gestured at Denise with her chin. Natasha had an open mind toward every single career choice and would definitely respect her children's decisions. At that moment, Kenneth looked at Denise. "Denise, do you like acting?" Denise turned her attention to Sharon upon hearing the question. "Acting? Just like what you're doing on TV?" Sharon nodded with a smile.
"That's right. I can play all sorts of roles." With her eyes glistening with excitement, Denise nodded. "Sure." Sharon was surprised that Denise actually agreed. "Given how pretty you are, I'm certain that you will be wildly popular as an actress." This child has inherited the best of her parents' features. Despite her young age, her beauty is already undeniable. In fact, I can't wait to see how beautiful she will become when she grows up. Unexpectedly, Denise's beauty wasn't the reason for her choice. She explained, "I just want to experience what it feels like to act as another person." At that moment, Sharon didn't know what to say to such a profound rationale. Just as expected, a kid from a rich family is less motivated by money and fame, but that's precisely why success comes easier to them than others.
Sharon replied with a chuckle, "Mmm-hmm. Acting is all about expressing someone else's life. If you're interested, I can show you around one day, how about that?" "Yeah!" Denise nodded. Smiling faintly at Kenneth, Sharon asked, "In that case, Mr. Hamilton, can you give me your contact number so that I can get in touch once the arrangements are made?" Unexpectedly, Kenneth turned to Natasha instead of Sharon before suggesting softly, "Nat, why don't you give her your contact? After all, you have the final say in our family affairs." Speechless, Sharon eked out an awkward smile. Mr. Hamilton, have you forgotten how you relentlessly insisted on a divorce back then? Since when have you suddenly become the epitome of the perfect husband? Nonetheless, Sharon could only keep her sarcastic comments to herself as she shifted her gaze to Natasha. "Mrs. Hamilton..." Much to her surprise, Natasha corrected her, "I'm not Mrs. Hamilton, as we have divorced a long time ago." In spite of that, she still took out her phone to exchange contacts to which Sharon quickly obliged.
"As I seldom check my phone, you had better add Denise's contact too. After all, she makes most of the decisions when it comes to her own affairs," Natasha added. Shocked, Sharon had difficulty digesting what she heard. Does Denise really have so much autonomy at such a young age? Just when she was still lost in her thoughts, Denise came over with her phone to exchange numbers. "That's right, Ms. Sharon. You can contact me directly, for Mommy is so busy that she doesn't have any time for me." Sharon added her contact right away. "All right, I understand." "Call me Denise," Denise introduced yourself. "Denise... What an interesting name!" Sharon commented with a grin. Denise could only sigh in resignation. What more can I expect from my name? I was too young to decide on it back then. Holding that thought, Denise felt that it was such a shame. At that moment, Jessica's phone rang. After answering it, she informed Sharon, "Everyone's almost there.
If you're late, you might be accused of being a diva!" Sharon nodded in acknowledgment before looking at Denise. "Denise, I still have to wrap up some work today. Anyway, I'll talk to the director before coming back to you, all right?" Denise nodded. "All right." "In that case, Mr. Hamilton, Mrs... Ms. Watson, I'll be taking my leave now," Sharon informed them. While Natasha nodded in response, Kenneth's gaze never left her. After giving both of them a cordial smile, Sharon turned and left. While Sharon and Jessica were leaving, one could still faintly hear their conversation. "Considering that Mr. Hamilton had invested in your first movie, he's definitely acquainted with you, so why does he behave as if he doesn't know you?" Jessica remarked. "Why? Are you still hoping that he remembers me?" "At the very least-" "Forget it, Jessica. We were just acting on our mutual interest back then.
Whoever can't let go of the past will turn out to be a fool,” Sharon asserted with a clear mind. Jessica nodded in agreement. “That's true. Nevertheless, I'm still surprised that they would agree to let their daughter become an actress." "I'm just as surprised as you are. However, given how adorable she is, I'm sure she will be wildly successful as an actress if she does go down that path." "Oh? From your tone, it seems that you adore her." "Didn't you hear how she addressed me as Ms. Sharon? If she really ends up joining the entertainment industry, I'll definitely look out for her!" "You? Look out for her? As a Hamilton, do you think anyone would dare to bully her?" "You have a point," Sharon agreed with a laugh. "All right, let's go now, or we'll be late," Jessica reminded before both of them left in a hurry. Once they were gone Natasha raised her gaze and saw that Kenneth was still staring at her. Locking gazes with him, she teased, "Mr. Hamilton, aren't you being too unsentimental?
Given that you used to be a social butterfly, do you really not know her?" "Do you hope that I remember her?" "Whether you remember her or not is your business. To me, I couldn't care less," Natasha remarked with her attention focused on the glass of red wine in front of her. Kenneth's lips curled while observing her, as he had no intention to further explain himself on the topic. Instead, he asked with a serious expression, "Do you really plan to let Denise join the entertainment industry?" "With her looks, it would be a waste not to let her," Natasha continued, "but what matters most is that she makes the decision herself." At that point, Kenneth lowered his gaze to look at Denise. "Denise, do you really like acting?" She pondered for a moment. "I'm not sure myself, but I sure would like to try." Kenneth nodded in agreement. "All right then, try you shall." Natasha cocked a brow. "I'm surprised at how readily you agreed to it." "With the Hamilton family behind her, no one will dare bully her. In fact, I want her to dominate whatever she does, even if it's the entertainment industry." Natasha was speechless. After giving it some thought, she expressed her opinion. "We'll let her try it out first. Even if she can rely on Hamilton Corporation for the rest of her life, I still hope that she can become independent, as the future is just too unpredictable.
As parents, we can do our best to shield her, but I don't want her to end up being locked up in an ivory tower."
