At Spencer's reaction, Anthony said, “No, wait, what do you mean? You think I hid her away somewhere?”
“You know where she has gone to, don't you?”
Anthony took a deep breath before uttering, “Spencer, if I know where she has gone to, do you think I'd have come to you? Also, do you think I have the time to mess around with you all like this? I'm genuinely worried about her, and that's why I came to you!”
Spencer narrowed his eyes.
Right then, Benjamin came in and said to Anthony, “I've talked to Kyle, and he said he hasn't assigned any missions to Thalia. He also said he doesn't know Thalia's with Mr. Dave right now.”
Upon hearing Benjamin, Spencer finally realized it was not a prank from the boys.
Anthony turned back to Spencer. “Do you hear him? I'm worried about her too! I'm looking for her too!”
Spencer pursed his lips. “I'm sorry.”
With that, he went out of the room.
Looking at his retreating figure, Benjamin asked, “Where are you going?”
“Out to find her, obviously.”
“But do you know where to look for her?” Anthony asked.
Spencer furrowed his brows. “I'll find her even if it means searching every corner of the earth.”
“If she has left of her own volition, she's not going to let you find her that easily. Besides, it's not as if you can find her just because you want to.”
Spencer turned around. “Do you know how to find her, then?”
Anthony arched a brow. “I don't have a way to find her, but I might be able to track her down via other means.” He slowly took off his watch. “This is a watch Thalia gave to us to ensure our safety. It has internet and location sharing function.”
“Are you saying you can find out where she is?” Spencer asked.
“Of course.” Anthony inclined his head.
“Then hurry up and track her down!” Spencer hurried back to Anthony.
Anthony glanced at him and said, “Then you must tell me if something happened between the two of you first.”
Spencer's frown deepened.
“Spencer, I don't mean to pry into your private matters, and I won't ask you the details. I only have one question: do you care about Thalia?”
Spencer just kept looking at him.
“If you don't care about her, then I'll tell you to let her go. It'll be a moment of pain for her, but it's better than wasting her time,” Anthony added.
Spencer pursed his lips. “If anything, I'll use my life to exchange for hers.”
His answer was a clear indicator of how important Thalia was to him.
Truth be told, Anthony knew that too. He knew that ever since he saw how Spencer had nearly gone mad when Thalia came down from the helicopter.
However, he could not understand what went on in Spencer's mind.
“If Thalia's that important to you, why can't you be nice to each other? Look at my daddy and Nat. If they can let go of their past, why can't you?” Anthony asked.
A complicated look crossed Spencer's face. “We have a blood feud between us. We won't be able to let go just like that.”
“Blood feud? What do you mean?”
At that moment, Spencer realized he had said a little more than he wanted to. “Nothing. You won't understand it even if I tell you about it. So, are you going to check your watch or not? If you're not, I'm going to look for her myself.”
At the sight of Spencer's impatience, Anthony gave him a look and remarked, “How impatient.”
