Natasha turned around and saw an elegantly dressed Erin furiously dashing toward them.

Her eyes were filled with hatred as she glared at Natasha.

"I didn't expect to see you here!" Erin said.

"Wow, you are really persistent. Did you sneak in here to look for my son?"

Natasha stared at her with a calm but stern gaze.

She did not expect to see Erin here.

Then, she seemed to understand something.

At the same time, Zachary quickly came to stand in front of Natasha to shield her from Erin. "Mom, be nice to Nat!"

"Nice?" Erin chuckled coldly. "She doesn't deserve my kindness. Don't you remember what she did to me? She hit me!" "If you hadn't gone to her company and caused a scene, that wouldn't have happened," Zachary said.

"You..." Erin was bursting with fury.

Suddenly, Natasha's phone beeped. She looked at the message and walked away.

Erin intended to go after her, but Zachary blocked her way. "Mom!"

"Zachary!" Erin suddenly screamed. She glared at him viciously. "Don't you know that the Lenoir family is here? How are you going to explain if Winnifred sees you with her?"

"Why should I have to explain? I don't want to marry Winnifred!" Zachary argued.

"Why won't you marry her? Do you want to be with that woman?" Erin pointed furiously at Natasha, who had her back facing them.

"If possible, I would rather give up everything and be with her!" Zachary answered.

Slap!

Erin slapped him hard on the face. She shouted, "Over my dead body! Don't even think about it!"

Zachary's gaze shifted as he looked at his mother. He clenched his fists and said, "Mom, you might just win if this is your last resort. However, it doesn't matter. In the end, I might die before you do!" With that said, Zachary gave a cruel smirk and left.

Stunned, Erin stood rooted to the spot.

His words kept ringing in her ears. Long after Zachary left, she finally came to her senses and shouted at his retreating figure, "Zachary, where are you going? Come back here!"

Zachary did not look back.

Erin's expression darkened as she stood there.

Zachary is becoming rebellious. He is getting increasingly disobedient these days. In the past, all I have to do is threaten him with my death and he'll do as I say... Now, he won't listen to me at all... because of that woman.

Erin clenched her fists at the thought and turned around to search for Natasha.

It is all that woman's fault! I must get rid of her! I must destroy her reputation!

Natasha was speaking on the phone at the side.

Suddenly, Erin charged at Natasha without her noticing and poured her champagne onto the woman.

Natasha felt something cold raining down on her. She turned around to replace Erin glaring at her viciously.

"You d*mn woman! How dare you seduce my son!" Erin shouted furiously.

Natasha looked at her clothes drenched with champagne and furrowed her brow. She put her phone away, took a step toward Erin, and said coldly, "Apologize to me."

"You're asking me to apologize?" Erin sneered, "What makes you think you deserve an apology?"

Erin raised her hand to flip her hair, but Natasha grabbed it immediately. She gripped Erin's fingers and proceeded to bend them.

Startled, Erin screamed in pain.

"B*tch, are you insane? This is Hamilton Corporation's annual banquet. How dare you stir trouble here?" Erin glared at her.

Natasha disregarded Erin's words and glared at her furiously. "I have decided to show you mercy for Zachary's sake. It is you who keep asking for trouble!"

"Let me go... Argh!" Before Erin could finish speaking, Natasha twisted harder, making her scream even more.

The guests who were chatting and strolling in the main hall heard the sudden scream and came over to have a look.

They pointed toward Natasha and Erin and whispered amongst themselves. None of them knew what had happened. All they could see was Natasha gripping Erin's hand vengefully. Desmond was negotiating a deal with someone in the main hall. He frowned when he saw what was happening. Then, he put down his wine glass and rushed toward Erin.

"What is going on here?" Desmond asked. He looked from Erin to Natasha. "What are you doing? Let her go this instance!"

Natasha pretended not to hear him. She continued to glare at Erin hatefully.

"Desmond, save me! This woman is insane!" Erin bent over in pain. Her face had turned pale.

Desmond's heart ached to see Erin suffer. He turned to Natasha and ordered, "Let her go right now!"

"What if I don't want to?" Natasha asked. Although she did not raise her voice, she still sounded intimidating.

Desmond would not allow himself to be humiliated in front of the spectating crowd. Thus, he glared at her. "I prefer not to hit a woman. So, I'm warning you to let her go now. Otherwise, don't blame me for what I'm about to do!"

Natasha smirked. "Is that so? I'm curious to see what you will do!"

"You" Desmond was bursting with fury.

"Desmond, save me! Argh, it hurts!" Erin screamed and cried. Everyone could not help but pity her.

More guests came to check out what was happening. Desmond glanced at the growing crowd and thought he would be humiliated if they saw him do nothing when someone had bullied his beloved.

He glared at Natasha again and said, "You have forced my hands!" Then, he raised a hand to slap Natasha.

"Don't you dare touch her!" an intimidating voice sounded from among the crowd.

The crowd immediately parted to form a path for Kenneth. He walked out steadily with the dignity of a king. Seeing Kenneth, Desmond immediately greeted, "Mr. Hamilton."

"Kenneth is here..."

"This is going to be interesting."

The crowd whispered excitedly.

Kenneth walked toward Natasha and the others. He smirked when he saw her gripping Erin's hand.

Desmond quickly explained, "Mr.

Hamilton, I didn't mean to cause a scene, but this woman keeps grabbing my beloved's hand and won't let go no matter what I said. She has crossed the line." "Oh, is that so?" Kenneth asked.

"Yes, everyone here saw it. I wonder who allowed this barbaric woman to come in and cause trouble here!" Desmond replied indignantly, placing every blame on Natasha.

A barbaric woman?

Kenneth arched an eyebrow upon hearing that. His expression remained calm and unbothered, but there was a hint of a smirk on his face.

He came closer and swept a cold glance at them before his gaze landed on Natasha.

He noticed the wet chiffon fabric on her chest. He narrowed his eyes.

"What happened?" he asked.

Natasha did not answer. She looked directly at Erin.

Erin's face turned white as a sheet. She looked at Kenneth pleadingly. "Mr.

Hamilton, please save me. This woman is insane!"
