Benjamin also turned to Denise, and upon seeing her exaggerated expression, he immediately affirmed Anthony's statement.
He responded with a nod. “I see.”
Denise turned to Benjamin and gradually came to her senses. “Anthony, how did you find out about it?”
“What do you think?”
Denise immediately began to pat herself down.
Seeing that, Benjamin asked, “What are you doing?”
“I wonder if Anthony has planted a bug on me,” Denise replied.
Benjamin rolled his eyes at her. “You might as well say that he planted a bug in your watch.”
Thinking that what he said made sense, Denise lifted her eyes to glance at Anthony, her gaze filled with a plea for confirmation.
Yet, at this moment, Anthony gave them a disdainful stare. “You actually believe what Benjamin said?”
“How else did you find out about it then?” Denise asked.
Anthony remained silent, continuing to walk forward.
Denise immediately walked up and grabbed his shirt, “Anthony, please tell me. I won't be able to sleep tonight if you don't.”
“What does that have to do with me?” Anthony asked.
His response rendered Denise so angry and speechless. She immediately turned to Benjamin. “Ben, you see what Anthony did to me?”
Seeing the situation, Benjamin walked over and said calmly, “You might as well tell her. Otherwise, she'll keep pestering you all day.”
Upon hearing that, Denise immediately nodded her head repeatedly.
Glancing helplessly at them, Anthony lowered his eyes to glare at Denise, who was still tugging at his shirt. “Let go.”
Denise immediately did as he instructed.
Now that she had become more behaved, Anthony finally spoke. “It's not that difficult to figure things out. I overheard Spencer's conversation with Magus last time, and at that time, Spencer said it was necessary to address her psychological problems in order to completely cure Lina's illness. The problem that was plaguing her would vanish once she had a child,” he continued, looking at Denise. “Furthermore, Spencer also suggested that you should visit Lina from time to time and show how contented you are. That's how I deduced it based on all these details.”
Benjamin slowly nodded after hearing that. “I see.”
Denise shifted her gaze to him. “Anthony, you're a quite mysterious man, you know that?”
Anthony glanced at her. “What do you mean?”
“You always seem so indifferent to everything as if don't pay attention to anything, yet, you seem to know everything. I might be your sister, but I sometimes find you a little terrifying,” Denise replied.
Anthony's expression remained deadpan as he turned his attention to her while casually raising an eyebrow. “Terrifying?”
“Just a little bit...”
“Okay, fine. I'm relieved that you think I'm terrifying.” Anthony gave a nod and stepped forward. “Otherwise, with how much Dad and Mom have spoiled you, you'd be uncontrollable.”
Denise instantly retorted, “I'm not spoiled.”
“We both know the truth. I'm not going to dwell on this further,” Anthony retaliated.
“Anthony, can't you be a bit more like Ben? You should show me your affection. After all, I'm your sister—your only biological sister,” Denise said.
“Only biological sister?” Anthony let out a smirk. “That might not be the case.”
Denise immediately turned his head and asked him. “What do you mean?”
“Who knows if Dad and Mom will have another baby in the future? And considering how Dad has always preferred having daughters, what if they decide to have another one?”
His remark rendered Denise speechless.
Denise suddenly stopped in her tracks when she thought of Kenneth.
