You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 283

Hans was stunned to hear his name.

“You-you know me?” Hans asked Thalia. He looked shocked.

Thalia squatted down, looked him in the eye, and smirked. “Use your brain! Do you really think I'm a robber?

Take a look at yourself. Would I target you if I'm a robber?”

Her mocking left Hans speechless.

Thalia gave him an evil eye and warned, “If you know what's good for you, you'd better confess. Otherwise, you can forget about leaving this place alive.”

No one knew if it was due to fear or the soaking in water, but Hans' face was pale as a ghost.

“The money... A-a woman gave me the money!” Hans fearfully said.

“A woman? Who is she?” Benjamin immediately asked.

“I don't know her...” Hans confessed.

“You don't know her? So a stranger just handed you such a big sum of money?” Benjamin wouldn't buy his story.

“She asked me to do something for her... I did as she told, so she paid me for my effort,” Hans explained.

Anthony narrowed his eyes and asked, “What did she ask you to do?”

Hans fell silent, unsure if he should tell them the truth.

“Do you really think no one knew what you did, Hans? Hmmm... Maybe I can make you disappear from the surface of the earth, and no one would know as well...” Thalia threatened.

Hans got the hint and knew what she meant.

“So, what's your decision? Are you going to keep mum?” Thalia asked.

“You... you...” Hans stared at them for a while, then shook his head and mumbled, “No, that's impossible...”

“What's impossible?” Anthony grilled.

Hans continued to stare at Anthony. Soon, he noticed the resemblance between him and Denise. His eyes popped wide open, and he blurted out, “You-you and that little girl...”

“What about me and that little girl? So do you remember her now?” Anthony sneered.

“You are...” “She's my sister!” Anthony hissed.

Seeing Hans' fearful expression, Anthony added, “Count yourself lucky I'm the one who tracked you down. If it were my mom or my dad, you probably won't even get a chance to even say anything!

Hans had no idea how they found out about him and what he did, but since they came after him, he reckoned they knew about his involvement in the incident already.

He could clearly tell that Thalia and the boys were not someone he would want to mess around with, so he quickly said, “I-I didn't do anything to her... I only did what that woman instructed me to do, which is to get the girl to the mountains. I really didn't do anything to her!”

“So you expect me to empathize with you and accept that it's okay for you to harm someone else's daughter in order to save your own?” Anthony

challenged.

"I know I have no right to beg for forgiveness and understanding. You can do what you want to me, but please leave my girls alone...” Even though he was already a middle-aged man, Hans couldn't help but wail like a baby in front of Thalia and the two boys.

Staring intently at Hans, Anthony questioned, “Who is the woman who ordered you to do that?”

“I-I don't know her!”

“You don't know her?”

Hans' mind flashed back to that fateful day, and he recalled, “I really don't know her... That day, I was filming on the set. Suddenly, I got a call from my wife. She told me our daughter was hospitalized, so I rushed to the hospital without even stopping to change out of my costume. When I reached the hospital, the doctor told us the bad news, and I almost broke down. My daughter was diagnosed with heart disease and needed surgery. The expected medical bill for her treatment was beyond the means of an ordinary family like us. I called everyone I knew to ask for loans, but what I manage to raise was insignificant. I stepped out of the hospital to take a breather, and out of nowhere, that woman appeared and came up to me. She said she could gift me a sum of money in exchange for a favor...”

Anthony and Benjamin pursed their lips and asked, “What happened next?”

“The woman gave me the photo of that girl and told me she's one of our cast. She said the girl is spoilt and wilful, and being her aunt, she wanted to teach her a lesson. The woman told me all I have to do is to leave her in the mountains, that's all. I didn't think much about it at that time and agreed to the deal. It was only after completing the task that I realized something wasn't right. Firstly, half a million for such a simple task is too good to be true. Also, no aunt will punish her niece in such a manner... I swear I had no intention of harming that girl!” Hans said.

“Not having the intention to harm doesn't mean you didn't harm her!” Benjamin reminded him harshly.

On the other hand, Anthony analyzed Hans' confession and suspected the woman was someone they were familiar with, as she seemed to know Denise well.

Anthony tried his best to calm down and then turned to Hans with a question. “How does the woman look like?”
