Well, I’m not surprised that Thalia has that thought. He’s been pretty attentive lately. Whenever anything happened to Mommy, he would settle the matters. What else can it be if he isn’t interested in Mommy? After all, who will put in so much effort for just any woman?
But when Anthony thought about how Kenneth had abandoned Natasha in the past, he couldn’t completely let go of his prejudice against Kenneth.
He pursed his lips and said calmly, “There’s no need to bet. My mommy’s so beautiful. It’s not strange if he wants to pursue her.”
Well, that’s true. Even so, do you have to be so proud and confident when you say that?
Thalia turned her head to look at him. “Aren’t you against it?”
“No. As long as Mommy’s happy, I’m okay with anything.”
Thalia pondered about it. Afraid that Anthony didn’t know the seriousness of the matter, she quickly expounded it to him, “If your mommy becomes his woman, then you will be related to him! You have to know that although he looks like a domineering CEO, no one knows what dirty business he has on his hands in private! If that isn’t the case, why do so many people want to kill him? You will be in danger if you become his son when the time comes!”
Anthony frowned. “What about his biological son?”
Thinking of that, Thalia couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh. “In that case, he should really protect his biological son well, or his son will be in grave danger.”
Anthony remained silent.
It seems that my life is in danger. No. To be more precise, Benjamin, Denise, and I are in grave danger!
“Usually, the underground has a rule that the quest for revenge mustn’t involve family members, but some evildoers don’t care about that and will even get rid of everyone in the family to prevent troubles in the future,” Thalia said.
Anthony continued to smile elegantly. He didn’t know what to say.
“You should really talk to your mommy about this, or else things will get tangled up,” Thalia continued seriously.
Anthony continued to hold his tongue.
This entanglement is truly something!
“I’m being serious here!” Thalia exclaimed.
Anthony nodded. “I get it. I’ll think about it… and talk to my mommy.”
Hearing that, Thalia finally nodded in relief. After that, she thought of something and added, “Well, you don’t have to worry. If Kyle knows about this, he’ll definitely protect you well.”
“He has my thanks.”
“He’s been bugging me for your picture for the past few days…”
Anthony turned to look at her. “Don’t you dare give him my picture!”
Thalia pretended to look troubled. “I didn’t, but he has been disturbing me every day. You have no idea how pressured I am.”
Anthony glanced at her. “I’ll increase your reward when we’re done with this.”
Thalia beamed. “Aww, that’s not my real intention. But you can rest assured that I won’t give him your picture before you allow me to send it. After all, I’m looking forward to seeing how surprised he will look.”
Anthony smiled back at her too, but something seemed to be on his mind. “Of course I believe you. Therefore, I have something that I need you to help me with.”
“What is it?”
“When it’s a little later, go find Kenneth and tell him the plan.”
“No way! You’re kidding, right? I confronted him once!” Thalia turned him down without hesitation.
“Don’t worry. He doesn’t know who you are. Besides, you two have the same intentions, so he won’t make things difficult for you.”
“W-What if he doesn’t believe me?”
“All you need to do is to tell him the plan. He’ll think about it,” Anthony replied confidently.
“Are you sure about that?”
Anthony nodded.
Thalia looked at him dubiously. I can’t help feeling that something’s odd here.
Anthony smiled at her. “Don’t worry. Look at how beautiful you are! He doesn’t look like a bad guy, right? He won’t suspect you. Besides, with your skills, if you want to do something to my mommy, isn’t it a piece of cake for you?”
Undeniably, Anthony’s adorable face and sweet-talking skills could easily win over anyone, for Thalia was a little overwhelmed by his compliments. She felt as if she was on cloud nine.
The next moment, she gave him an okay sign and said, “That makes sense. I’ll talk to him personally later.”
“Don’t reveal my identity.”
Thalia nodded. “I understand. Besides, we can’t go up against him. I can’t let him find out that a kid like you is so smart. Also, you’re under our protection, so that’s even more reason why we can’t reveal your identity. Don’t worry! I’ll protect you!”
Anthony put on a flattering smile. “Thanks.”
“Aww! You should smile more. I’m so happy!”
Meanwhile, Caroline was sitting on a couch with a frown on her face. She seemed to be thinking about something.
“Mom? Mom?” Thea looked at her.
Caroline only regained her senses after Thea called out to her twice. “Did you call me?” she asked while looking at Thea.
Thea was a little worried. “What’s wrong, Mom? Did something happen to Dad again?”
Caroline hurriedly shook her head. “No, no, your dad’s fine.”
“What’s the matter with you, then?”
Caroline thought about it for a while before walking toward Thea. “Guess who did I see in the corridor earlier?”
“Who?”
“Natasha Watson.”
The moment Thea heard that name, her heart did a somersault.
Natasha’s name was like the devil in her heart. Whenever she heard it, she would get unhappy and irritated for no reason.
“What is she doing here?”
“She’s hospitalized here too.”
Thea looked at Caroline in confusion. “She’s here too?”
Caroline nodded.
Upon contemplation, Thea wanted to get off the bed. Seeing that, Caroline asked hastily, “Thea, where do you think you’re going?”
“I’m going to see her.”
“Thea, you’re being reckless again!”
“If she’s here, Kenneth’s definitely here too!”
Seeing how impulsive and impatient Thea was, Caroline quickly stopped Thea. “Did you forget about what I said?”
“But—”
“You should wait for me to find out the situation before we do anything else. We must always be prepared before we go to war, or we will lose terribly.”
Despite Thea’s eagerness to see Kenneth, she held it back after listening to Caroline’s words and nodded.
“Mom, have you thought about how to help me yet?”
“Calm down. I still have to understand a few more things. Once I get the answers to my doubts, the solutions will pop up automatically.” At that moment, Caroline still hadn’t figured out who the two children by Liam’s side were.
At the thought of something, Thea asked, “Mom, do you know why Natasha’s hospitalized?”
“I asked one of the nurses on duty earlier. It seems that she had a car accident.”
“An accident?” Thea mumbled. Suddenly, a man appeared in her mind. Could it be him?
