Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209 Destroying A Man Through A Woman Tranquility was one of the largest bars in Glenport City. Decked out in haute couture, Thea looked chic from head to toe. She, while following the address on her phone, had arrived at a corridor. Just when she was about to go forward, she was stopped by two men in sharp black suits who were standing guard. “You’re not allowed to enter.” Thea knitted her brows.

“I was invited by Zachary,” she proclaimed. Both men, having heard her words, stepped aside at once. “Are you Ms. Jarman?” Thea nodded. “Please follow me,” one of them instructed before leading the way. Narrowing her eyes, Thea hesitated briefly before deciding to follow him. After walking more than ten meters, they arrived at the door of a private room that the guard knocked on.

“Boss, she’s here.” “Come in.” No sooner had the guard heard the voice inside did he open the door and looked at Thea. “Ms. Jarman, please.” With a vigilant look in her eye, Thea sauntered into the room. Inside the private room, she could still see everything clearly despite its dim lighting. The table and floor were strewn with empty liquor bottles, while Zachary, wearing a complex expression, was sitting languidly on the sofa. Once Thea had entered the room, the guard quickly left and closed the door behind him.

After being briefly stunned, Thea, with a surprised look on her face, asked Zachary, “Do you own this bar?” Zachary, after casually grabbing a bottle of wine and pouring himself a glass, looked up at her. “Is there a problem?” Thea put down her bag and walked over to take a seat. “No, I’m just surprised, that’s all.” Breaking out a smirk, Zachary downed the wine he poured in one gulp. Thea threw him a glance as this wasn’t her first time at the bar. During her previous visits, she had heard rumors about how ruthless the mysterious owner of the bar was. It was just that she had never imagined Zachary to be him. From her perspective, Zachary was a kind young man whose character contradicted such a reputation. When she first proposed that they work together, she envisioned leveraging Zachary’s enmity as a means to achieve her goals. Given the current situation, she quickly realized that it was she who had underestimated him.

As a result, it was time to reevaluate what their proposed partnership would entail. After scrutinizing him with a quick look, Thea suggested with a smile, “Do you mind if I get a drink?” Zachary, without saying a word, poured a glass for her. “Thank you,” Thea replied. Instead of responding to her, Zachary downed another glass of wine. “Does Natasha know that you own this bar?” Thea asked all of a sudden.

Zachary, who was in the midst of pouring another glass, froze for a fleeting moment before putting the bottle down as if nothing had happened. When he looked up at Thea, his expression couldn’t be more telling. She let out a gentle laugh. “It’s clear that she doesn’t know.” “This is none of your business,” Zachary asserted. Wearing a knowing smile, Thea finished her drink in one go before looking at him. “It’s true that it has nothing to do with me, but I was just curious as to what Natasha meant to you. But now, it’s clear that she doesn’t seem to mean much.” Crack! With a jarring sound ringing in the background after Zachary kicked something, he threw her a threatening gaze. “You’re not even worthy of bringing up her name!” The smile on Thea’s face instantly froze. “Don’t try to impose your own assumptions on me,” Zachary warned, seething through his words. Upon regaining her senses, Thea sneered, “Why are you being so defensive? I was just asking a casual question.
