You're Out Daddy

Chapter 172 Anthony Protects His Siblings

Erin frowned as her instincts told her that Liam was no pushover.

The next thing she knew, two men had appeared in front of her and motioned at her to leave.

Refusing to put up with the humiliation, Erin turned toward the manager and yelled desperately, “What

the heck is wrong with you guys? They’re the ones ganging up on me! How am I the troublemaker

here?”

Unfortunately for her, the manager wasn’t having any of it. “Madam, please cooperate with us or we will

have to use force.”

Of course, Erin wasn’t going to just leave without putting up a fight. “I’m not going anywhere! Do you

guys have any idea who I am?”

Not wanting to waste any more time with her, the manager ordered, “Get her out of here!”

The two men then grabbed Erin by the arms and started dragging her out of there.

Zachary happened to come in through the door at the time. He immediately ran forward when he saw

his mother being dragged away. “What’s happening, Mom? Please stop this, you guys!”

As if she had found a glimmer of hope in a sea of darkness, Erin pleaded with him, “They’re ganging up

on me, son!”

Zachary frowned when he looked up and saw Terence and Liam. “Old Mr. Hamilton, Old Mr. Watson,

what’s going on here?”

Terence was just as shocked to see him show up. “Zachary? She’s your mother?”

Zachary nodded reluctantly. “Yes, she is. Can you tell me what happened?”

The look on Terence’s face turned gloomy instantly, and he looked away without saying a word.

“Zachary, you know these people?” Erin asked.

Zachary simply frowned and kept quiet.

Oh? What a coincidence! This guy has already gotten off to a bad start before he even does anything!

Looks like we have the upper hand here!

Liam arched a brow at the thought of that.

Despite feeling a little relieved, he maintained a calm expression and cleared his throat as he said,

“She bumped into Denise and refused to apologize. On top of that, she even threatened to teach them

a lesson on our behalf. I was just returning the favor.”

Zachary shifted his gaze toward Erin upon hearing that.

Erin shook her head profusely. “No, that’s not true! These two kids wouldn’t get out of my way, so I was

just trying to scare them a little!”

Zachary frowned as he knew his mother’s personality all too well.

He then ignored her and shifted his gaze toward Denise as he asked, “Are you okay, Denise? Did she

hurt you anywhere?”

Denise rubbed a reddened spot on her head and said, “Right here, but I’m all good now.”

“I’m sorry you got hurt like this, Denise. I’ll apologize to you on her behalf, okay?”

“Zachary!” Erin protested angrily.

Denise nodded. “Okay! I’ll stop being mad since you’ve apologized, Mr. Zach!”

Zachary gave her a pat on the head before turning to look at Anthony. “Anthony, I—”

“No need to apologize to me. I’m fine with it as long as my sister is. Just keep in mind that I will not sit

by and do nothing if someone bullies my sister.” Anthony cut him off.

Zachary flashed him a smile as he continued, “I understand, but I still need to apologize to you

regardless.”

Anthony could only let out a helpless sigh in response.

I really like Zachary for being such a gentle and chivalrous man. Oh, well… It really is a shame…

Having obtained their forgiveness, Zachary stood up to face Terence and Liam. “Old Mr. Hamilton, Old

Mr. Watson, my mother is indeed at fault here today. Will you two please let this slide for my sake?”

Terence was too angry to speak at the time, so he looked away and kept quiet instead.

“All right. We’ll let it slide since Denise has chosen to forgive her,” Liam said while motioning at the

manager.

The manager nodded and had the two security guards stand down.

Liam then walked up to Terence and said, “Come on, Terence. Let’s carry on with our meal. Don’t let

this ruin our mood!”

Terence simply kept quiet and shot Zachary another glance before returning to the private room.

“I will have two men stand guard outside your private room to prevent anyone from disturbing you any

further, Old Mr. Hamilton. I will also be on standby here, so just let me know if you need anything,” the

manager added with a bow.

Liam nodded at him and entered the private room with the kids.

“Who the heck are those people? How dare they gang up on me like this?” Erin grumbled in frustration

as she watched them walk away.

“The Hamilton family is the economic lifeline for Glenport City. Dad has always been wanting to

collaborate with them,” Zachary whispered.

Erin froze and stared at Zachary in disbelief after hearing that.

“A-Are you serious?” she asked after a brief pause.

Zachary nodded in response, much to Erin’s dismay.

After racking her brain for a bit, she instructed Zachary, “Don’t let your dad find out about this. He’ll get

mad if he does!”

Zachary shot her a glance and said nothing further.

Desmond will never forgive me if I get on Hamilton Corporation’s bad side! I mustn’t let him find out

about this!

Erin shuddered just thinking about the trouble she had gotten herself into.

With the dramatic incident over, Spencer said with a faint smile, “Those kids sure are something else!

Despite acting like victims on the outside, they’re actually ingenious little schemers on the inside!”

Natasha didn’t say anything, but the look of anger in her eyes was as clear as day.

“What’s the matter? Are you angry?” Spencer asked upon noticing it.

“No.” Natasha returned to her seat and carried on eating.

Spencer jabbed at her. “Are you sure? You look like you’re about to kill someone!”

Natasha ignored him as her lips curled into a cold sneer.

Having recalled something, Spencer asked, “Also, didn’t you say you were going to introduce me to

someone? Who is it?”

“You’ll find out when the time comes.”

“What, you can’t bring that person over right now?”

“Now isn’t a convenient time.”

Spencer stared at her with a devilish look in his eyes. “Fine. This only makes me a lot more curious as

to who the person is.”

“Oh, by the way, Thalia is currently in Glenport City. You’d better be careful when you’re out and about,”

Natasha reminded him.

Spencer dropped his fork and looked up at her when he heard that. “Wait, what did you just say?”
