Anthony had always been a deep thinker.
Kyle knew that if Anthony didn't want to speak, no amount of questioning would make him. Hence, Kyle wanted to trick Anthony into revealing it willingly.
When Anthony didn't speak, he didn't ask either. He just ate his food leisurely, appearing as if he was casually chatting.
Anthony stared at Kyle for a moment before asking, “Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?”
Kyle flashed a smile. “What's the use of listening to your lies?”
“But I'm worried that even if I tell the truth, you won't believe me,” Anthony said.
Kyle raised an eyebrow. “Let's hear it then.”
“I suspect that my daddy didn't kill Holden's girlfriend,” Anthony said.
When he brought up that topic, Kyle paused in the middle of eating.
Benjamin, who had been silent on the side, also lifted his gaze to look at Anthony.
Benjamin stared at Anthony intently for a good ten seconds. Once he was certain that Anthony wasn't spouting nonsense, he frowned and asked, “Tony, why do you say that?”
Kyle also looked at Anthony, his eyebrows furrowed.
“Do you believe it?” Anthony asked Kyle, looking at him.
“Do you think I should believe it?” Kyle retorted.
“I know you don't believe me, and I indeed don't have any evidence right now. That's why I want to understand what happened back then,” Anthony said to him, emphasizing each word.
“Anthony, I know you want to resolve this issue, but it's a fact that's as certain as a nail hammered into a board. I advise you not to waste your energy,” Kyle said.
“I know you don't believe me, so I didn't plan on telling you. I'll investigate this matter myself until I can present the evidence,” Anthony responded.
Kyle's eyebrows furrowed again when he heard that. Anthony is a tenacious person who stubbornly insists on his ideals. If not stopped, he might really keep going until the end.
With that in mind, Kyle looked at Anthony and said, “If you have such doubts, there must be a basis for them. What's your basis?”
“If I tell you, you'll only believe me less,” Anthony said.
“Go ahead and tell me. Whether I believe it or not is my business,” Kyle casually said. He was indeed curious about what exactly had led Anthony to such thoughts and considerations.
Anthony pursed his lips, looked at Kyle, and said, “There's something I need to confirm with you.”
“Go on.”
“How were you so certain back then that it was my daddy who killed the person?” Anthony asked.
“Well, I saw it with my own eyes,” Kyle replied.
Anthony knitted his brows. “With your own eyes? Really?”
“What? Do you not believe me? Do you think I'm saying this just to frame your daddy?” Kyle asked.
“No. I believe you wouldn't lie to me,” Anthony said, looking at him with complete trust.
