You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 249

Kingsley's expression became stony at Kenneth's blatant disrespect.

“I'm your elder, Kenneth. How could you speak to me like this?” Kingsley demanded as he panted with rage at being spoken to in such a manner before the two women.

A sneer appeared on Kenneth's lips as he gazed at the other man disdainfully. “Elder? You flatter yourself, Mr. Watson. You are only a shareholder of Hamilton Corporation. You're not fit to be anybody's elder.”

“How dare you?” Kingsley glared at him. “I'm the same age as your father, Kenneth, and also a veteran of the company. Being an elder is the least you should acknowledge me as. Are you that arrogant to people?”

“Arrogant?” Kenneth repeated coolly. “That implies that you are a human being deserving of my respect.”

“Kenneth!” Kingsley shouted with a fierce glare, though he could not do anything against the younger man.

Kenneth would at least pretend to be courteous when he ran into Kingsley in the past. However, after the attempted impeachment previously, Kenneth had robbed him of practically everything. Though he had a bit of shares left, he did not have any authority in the company anymore.

I can't believe he isn't even giving me the dignity of acting respectfully.

Kingsley spoke once more after staring at the younger man for a long time. “As your elder, Kenneth, I advise you to keep your ego in check, lest it comes back to bite you in the ass.”

Kenneth merely smiled. “You should watch yourself instead, Mr. Watson. After all, you wade in dangerous waters.”

Though he spoke lightly, there was a hint of overwhelming threat in his voice.

Kingsley glared at him as he clenched his fists.

“Hmph, just you wait!” he grunted coldly before leaving with a dramatic turn of his heels.

Kenneth smiled faintly at his departure.

Thea remained where she was. Her gaze fell upon Kenneth after Kingsley left.

This man is arrogant but has the right to be. It's so attractive watching him tell people off.

Her heart beat faster as she said, “Thank you for getting me out of that, Kenneth.”

It was only then that Kenneth's gaze fell upon her, though the luster had disappeared from his eyes. It was like he was looking at a stranger. “You overthink. I wasn't getting you out of anything. I merely addressed a problem between him and me.”

Thea was surprised and hurt at how cleanly Kenneth cut her off.

She gazed instinctively at Natasha. Though the latter stood next to him with an inscrutable expression on her face, Thea knew that Kenneth's blunt refrain was for Natasha's benefit.

Her face flushing with embarrassment, she was about to say more when Kenneth turned to look at Natasha.

“Let's go,” he murmured in a voice as warm as his gaze. “We should head • )) in.

Natasha swept a glance over at Thea before nodding her assent. “Mmm.”

In a well-practiced motion, Kenneth took her hand and headed inside without another word.

He looks at me as if I was a mere acquaintance.

Thea's eyes grew red as the memories of happier times they shared surfaced in her mind's eye. Slowly, jealousy clouded her vision as her fists clenched.

The jealousy seared especially painfully when she saw them holding hands.

His love belongs to me. I should be the one standing next to him. The appearance of this woman has changed everything!

Thea's resolve strengthened at that thought.
