You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 808

Thalia did not deny it, though there was a slightly conflicted expression on her exquisite face.

“So, it's really Kyle?” Denise asked, looking at her telling expression.

Thalia sighed in resignation and finally replied, “What could I do? He was adamant about meeting you, but you were hell-bent on doing what you wanted, so this was the best solution I could think of.”

Her answer elicited a frown on Anthony's furious face.

Thalia's decision was unacceptable to him, although he was aware that it was a carefully-deliberated one.

Feeling betrayed and infuriated, he questioned, “Did you even think about the consequences, Thalia?”

“If you're referring to Kenneth and your relationship, then I have to say that it was unexpected, but we all know this outcome was inevitable, and I merely sped it up. But if you're referring to something else, then it's even more straightforward. Kyle will be as surprised as I was to see you.”

Anthony glared at her silently, but the latter was unperturbed as she looked back at him right in the eyes.

Seeing the two in a standoff, Denise and Benjamin, who were beside them, exchanged glances before Denise chimed in, “Tony, I'm sure Thalia did this with the best intention. I know you're angry, but this is not necessarily bad.”

“She's right,” Benjamin agreed.

Still looking at Anthony, Thalia suddenly felt the hostile expression on his face reminded her of Kenneth.

“Do you guys know doing this without Darknetz's knowledge is considered betrayal?” she asked.

Denise whipped her head and stared at Thalia, shocked.

Her reaction was enough to tell Thalia that they were caught unawares.

“I bet none of you read the regulations,” Thalia guessed.

“Who reads that? It's wordy and boring,” Denise muttered guiltily.

Thalia then looked at Benjamin, who also said he had not gone through the regulations because he had no time for it.

I see. None of them knew anything about it. I guess that makes more sense.

Gazing at the angry Anthony, Thalia explained, “Look, Anthony, I know you're extremely upset because you feel like I betrayed you, but if you were in my shoes, you would understand that this was the best I could do given the situation. You have to believe me when I say I swear loyalty to Darknetz and you.”

Despite her words, Anthony still stood without moving an inch, staring at her with his doubtful eyes.

Since he was not persuaded, Thalia nodded and snapped, “Fine. Decide for yourself if you want to see him or not. I'll go stall him if that's what you want.”

With that said, she turned and walked toward the lawn, above which the helicopter hovered in preparation for landing.

After watching her leave, Denise turned to her eldest brother. “Tony, I think what she said makes sense. After what we've been through together, I can safely say Thalia is trustworthy. We can't just think of ourselves. We should consider her too,” Denise uttered.

“I just don't want anything to interfere with what I'm doing,” Anthony replied, turning toward Denise.

“Will you stop if Kyle says no?” Benjamin suddenly weighed in. “If you'll still carry on regardless of his opinion, then what's the big deal about meeting him?”

“Well...” Anthony mumbled, frowning.

“The worst case scenario is you offend Kyle by insisting your way even if he disapproves, but that's a good thing, isn't it? Both of you can go your separate ways after that, which means you have fewer things to worry about,” Benjamin reasoned.
