You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 487

Silence hung in the air for some time.

Natasha's lips curled into a slight smile when he went silent. “You knew who it was from the beginning, but you didn't want to tell me, all so you could lure me here. You've been waiting for today, haven't you?”

Boss might appear to have been forced into the situation that day. However, one only needed to pay a little more attention to notice his role in the matter.

Right then, Natasha realized that the man did not appear as ordinary and harmless as he had presented himself to be. On the contrary, he was a cunning and manipulative man.

Boss looked at her, his eyes dark. He was still reluctant to admit it. “I don't know what you're talking about.”

Natasha's lips quirked into a mocking smile. “It doesn't matter whether you understand what I'm trying to say. Even though I don't know what you're getting at, I just want to make it clear that we are even now. If you dare to use me as a pawn again, don't blame me for being ruthless.”

Boss scanned the surroundings and said, “You're in such a dire situation yourself. How are you a threat to me?”

“Just wait and see.”

Boss was puzzled as to what made her so confident about the matter. However, he was certain that there were a few more tricks up her sleeves that he did not know about. Hence, before he found out about her plans, he would not divulge the truth to her.

“I admit I wanted to use you in the beginning. However, it was never my intention to harm you,” Boss said.

Natasha found his words amusing.

“It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, but that is the truth,” Boss added. “General Will wants you to stay here for the time being. I'm going to find a way to get you out of here.”

“Are you saving me, or are you trying to use me as a means to accomplish your ends again?”

“I know it doesn't matter what I say now, but I still would like to advise you that you're here in Vermillion Base, a place where you will pay the price of your life when you say the wrong thing. So, please treasure your own life.”

“Treasure my own life? Maybe staying alive means a lot to some people. But for me, if I can't find out the truth, it is a fate worse than death!”

“A fate worse than death... I think you have no idea what it's like to suffer a fate worse than death. Natasha, do you know what I loathe the most? People who have never truly known any suffering, and yet they speak of it as though they have gone through it all...” Boss' temper sparked as he shot a spiteful look at Natasha. “Wait until you've had a taste of true suffering before you say such things!”

Before Natasha could say anything, Boss turned around to leave.

Natasha stood there and narrowed her eyes as she watched him leave.

She was unfazed by his words.

Nobody truly knew what any other person had gone through. Similarly, nobody knew the nightmare that haunted Natasha's dreams every night. She had been reliving the moments when her parents met their demise, tormented by the despair of losing them every single night. In the seemingly unending fire, she had to confront the heartbreaking moments again and again and learned to accept the fate that befell her. Despite it all, she knew it was only a nightmare. She also knew that the torment would not cease until the day she found out about the truth.

So, who had the right to judge anyone else, really?

A determined look filled Natasha's eyes as she looked in Boss' direction. She had not changed her perspective on the matter.

She retracted her gaze after everyone left and recomposed herself.

She knew that Boss would never say things on a whim.

Even though she had no idea what he was getting at, it was not his first time saying that he wanted to punish Kenneth. Hence, she was certain that he would do something.

Natasha wanted to send them a message at the thought. She lifted her head and looked at her surroundings and noticed a surveillance camera above her head.

After giving it a moment of thought, Natasha headed toward the door and said, “I want to go to the restroom.”

The men guarding the room turned around to look at her and said, “Just relieve yourself in the room. We won't look at you!” The two men gave a chortle.
