Chapter 69
“I can’t believe that my license was revoked. Now, the reputation and career that I have built for more than thirty years have gone down the drain just like that.” Tyron said.
Sophia sneered and said, “Natalie has really gone too far. She is treating you like you are not her father.”
“Dad, maybe you should have a word with her. I tried asking Jason for help, but his father is not allowing him get anywhere near the company. All our assets have been frozen.”
It had just been a few days since they were put under house arrest, but Tyron looked like he had aged a few years.
As for Sophia, she did not care whether she was under house arrest as long as she ate and dolled herself up.
“Tyron, Vivian is right. You should have a word with that little bitch. How dare she treat you like that? You need to teach her a lesson.”
Tyron thought about it before he said, “I think that is all I can do for now, there is no other way around.” Tyron said.
The reputation he had protected even at the expense of his wife’s death had been ruined. How would he ever face all the people who looked up to him?
Natalie had expected her father’s call, but it came earlier than she had anticipated.
“Hello.”
Although Tyron wanted nothing but to curse this ungrateful daughter of his, he knew that being angry wouldn’t solve anything. He took a deep breath before he said, “Natalie, I want to see you.”
“I will send the driver to pick you up in a few.”
“Okay.”
The moment he hung up, Vivian looked at him and asked, “Dad, what did she say?”
“She said that she would send the driver to pick me up in a few. I guess she was expecting my call.” Tyron said.
“Well, Dad, I should come with you. We don’t know what Natalie is planning, and I will be there to support you in case she tries to act out of line.”
Tyron frowned. The last time Natalie had seen Vivian and her mother, she had almost gone berserk. How would she feel if he went with her?
“Vivian, I don’t think that it is a good idea. No matter what, I am still Natalie’s father, and she wouldn’t intentionally harm me.”
Sophia frowned, “Tyron, what are you even saying? Viv only wants to help, so why are you refusing? Have you forgotten the person who got your license revoked? Unless you are planning to abandon us and go back to your beloved daughter.”
“Sophia, what nonsense are you talking about? I just don’t want to make things awkward between the two of them; that is why I don’t want Vivian to tag along.”
“Dad, you don’t have to worry about me. I will not say anything, I promise. I just want to accompany you, that is all.”
“Okay. Go and get ready, the car will be here any minute.”
“Okay, Dad.”
…
At the Bluemoon Hotel, Natalie and Sean had already arrived, and they were waiting in the private room.
Natalie looked at the menu and spoke, “I never knew that one day, I would fail to recognize the man who gave birth to me. the man who once meant the world to me.”
“That is just the mysteries of life. I never really knew my dad. Every time I asked my mom about it, she would be quiet for days, and she wouldn’t speak to me. So, I stopped looking for answers and just lived life with my mom.”
“I am sorry, honey, I don’t know how it feels to grow up without a dad, but if I had known that one day, my mother would have to pay for it with her life, maybe I should have been better off without him.”
Tyron and Vivian arrived soon after, and the moment Natalie saw them, her expression changed.
She looked at her dad and mocked, “I see that you brought your beloved daughter along. I guess you can’t wait to show her off to the world.”
Tyron’s expression changed. “Natalie, what is wrong with you? Vivian is your sister; can you be a bit nicer to her?”
Natalie laughed coldly, “As far as I remember, my mom gave birth to only one child, and that is me.”
Vivian’s expression changed. She looked at her father and tears gathered in her eyes, “Daddy, you were right, maybe I should not have come to see sis with you. Maybe I will just go and wait in the car.”
Natalie waved her hand, “Excuse me, don’t call me your sis. I have no sister whatsoever. If you came here just to show off your father-daughter affection, then you can leave.”
“Natalie, I am just here to talk to you,” Tyron said.
He wanted Natalie to reinstate his license before he lost everything.
“But you guys have just ruined my mood,” Natalie said. She looked at Sean and continued, “Honey, what should we do now?”
“Maybe we should just leave,” Sean said.
It was only then that Tyron and Vivian pretended to have noticed Sean.
Vivian had already told Tyron all about Sean, and he did not have a good impression of him. Actually, he had never known that her daughter was married until Vivian mentioned it.
Tyron looked at him and asked, “Who are you, and why are you with my daughter?”
Natalie frowned, “Who he is is none of your business. Anyway, why did you want to see me?”
“I want to talk to you, but it is a private conversation; ask him to leave the room.”
“Are you for real?” Natalie asked in a stunned voice.
Sean waved his hand and said, “It is okay, honey, I will just wait for you outside.”
“Babe, you don’t have to leave.”
“No, it is okay. You need some time with your father.”
After Sean left, Tyrona and Vivian were about to sit, but Natalie stopped them.
She pointed at her father and said, “Only you can sit, Dr. Tyron.”
“What?”
“You said you wanted to have a private conversation, and no outsiders are allowed. Ask her to leave, or I will leave.” Natalie said, pointing at Vivian.
“Natalie, she is your sister.”
“I don’t recognize her, so she is just an outsider to me.”
Vivian looked at her father with an understanding gaze, “Father, I will just leave. I know you two must have a lot to talk about.”
