You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 835

At that moment, Magus stared at the woman, his brows furrowing abruptly. “Lina, what are you doing? Please, get up quickly!” he urged, leaning down to assist her.

However, the woman completely disregarded him, pushing him aside, her gaze fixed on Thalia as she continued to plead desperately, “I beg you, please don't harm him. If there's anything you want, come after me instead. I'm begging you...”

Thalia wasn't one to shy away from confrontation, but she detested such manipulative tactics.

If the person in question were irredeemable, that would be a different story. However, for an ordinary woman like her, already living on borrowed time, to plead for a man... How could anyone bear such a burden in their heart?

Thalia bent down and reached out to help the woman. “Get up!”

Yet, the woman showed no intention of rising, her eyes filled with sincere pleading. “I'm begging you, please. He did all of this for me. If there's anything you desire, direct it towards me. Moreover, my time is running out...”

Thalia felt a sense of helplessness as she gazed earnestly at the woman. “I have no intention of hurting him. Get up first, then we can talk!”

Upon hearing that, the woman's pale face momentarily froze. “You... Are you serious?”

“I'm serious!” Thalia nodded.

At that moment, the woman couldn't believe her ears. She turned her gaze toward Magus and asked, “Mag, is she telling the truth?”

Magus's gaze penetrated deep as he looked at her and nodded. “It's true!”

Only then did the woman release a sigh of relief. She glanced at Thalia, ensuring there was no hostility on her face, and smiled. “That's a relief!” With that, she attempted to get up.

Magus moved to support her, but suddenly, the woman's body stiffened, and within the next second, she seemed to struggle for breath.

Witnessing her condition, Magus extended a hand from behind to support her, concern etched across his expression. “Lina, what's wrong?”

The woman remained silent, standing rigidly, her face pale, as if something was choking her.

Thalia watched in alarm and quickly inquired, “What's happening? Why is this occurring?”

However, Magus didn't respond to her. Instead, he swiftly cradled the woman in his arms and started walking.

“Lina, hang in there, I'll take you to the doctor!” With those words, he carried the woman and rushed inside.

Anthony and Thalia exchanged a hesitant glance, unsure of how to respond.

Just then, a voice from behind them interjected, “See? With his woman in such a state, he won't leave with you. You might as well give up on that idea!”

Upon hearing his words, Anthony turned his gaze toward the speaker and retorted, “I can't say for certain if he'll leave with me, but one thing is clear, he won't cooperate with you anymore. Do you know why?”

The man, clearly skeptical, let a cold smile creep onto his lips. “Why is that?”

“Because I'm going to eliminate you. Once you're out of the picture, there's no chance of you ever cooperating again!” Anthony's words, delivered in the most innocent manner, carried a ruthlessness that sent a chill down the man's spine.

The man froze at the sound of his words. Instinctively, he turned his gaze towards Thalia, his demeanor somewhat tempered by thoughts of her recent actions.

“I have some urgent matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave!” he declared.

Thalia wouldn't grant him the opportunity to escape. Once again, she stood in his path, resolute.

Witnessing that, the man inquired, “What do you plan to do now?”

“What? After swindling such a substantial sum of money, you now expect to walk away freely?” Thalia responded.

The man stumbled over his words, clutching his wallet tightly. “I-I didn't act alone!”

“But all I know is that you took the money from me,” she countered.
