Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 336

Chapter 336

In the corridor outside the manor, Kenneth scanned the surroundings to ensure nobody else was around before instructing solemnly, “Go on!”

“Apart from that, I've obtained some clues about the other person you instructed me to investigate previously. Reichen and his men are obviously their arch-enemies. Both parties have been at odds with each other for many years, and they are always clashing over goods. Coincidentally, Reichen's men are here in Glenport City now too. As for why they are here, I'm clueless about it. Anyway, he's not with them now,” Fabian elucidated respectfully.

Hearing that, Kenneth narrowed his eyes slightly. There were flickers of inexplicit emotions in his obsidian eyes. Could it be a mere coincidence?

He could scarcely believe there was such coincidence in this world.

“Mr. Hamilton, what are we supposed to do next? How about I bring along some of our people to intercept their goods tomorrow?” Fabian asked.

“Don't do that!” Kenneth stopped him at once.

“Then?” Fabian was puzzled.

“Tip Reichen's men off about it!” Kenneth stated authoritatively.

Perplexed, Fabian asked quizzically, “Mr. Hamilton, why are you doing that? I heard this batch of goods is worth a lot of money, and they'll be on our turf. We can even make a killing after reselling the intercepted goods. At the same time, we can make them pay the price for what they had done previously. But why do you let others benefit from it instead?”

Kenneth sounded sterner as he explained, “Since they are arch-enemies with Vermillion Base, there's a possibility they'll take our side. Who knows, they might be helpful to us sometime later. Just treat it as doing them a favor this round then.”

“However, I don't think people who are used to risking their lives to earn a living like them will appreciate it!” Fabian pointed out warily.

“Even if that's the case, will we sustain any loss?” Kenneth questioned him.

“But isn't that money?” Fabian refuted. Good gracious! It's a large sum of money!

“Am I short of money?” Kenneth asked in return.

Fabian was utterly speechless. I shouldn't have acted smart! Mr. Hamilton definitely has a point.

No doubt, Kenneth's net worth was beyond assumption. Money was one of the things that he would never short. It was as though he was born to be a business elite. Others racked their brains on making money in the industry, but it was easy as snapping a finger for him. Hence, Fabian could not resist in awe of him.

As the thought occurred to Fabian, he could not refrain from commenting, “Mr. Hamilton, I'm afraid the others might be jealous of you because of your sheer confidence. I feel those men should target you instead of eyeing the goods!”

Narrowing his eyes, Kenneth snapped, “So what? You are even scheming on that now?”

Hearing that, Fabian could not help despising his slip of the tongue and almost slapped his mouth.

“Mr. Hamilton, I'm just kidding. You know that, don't you?” Fabian's flattering voice sounded from the other end of the line.

“Fabian, it's time to polish your sense of humor. Otherwise, you might end up as a security guard of Hamilton Corporation any day,” Kenneth hinted to him.

Fabian responded sheepishly, “Ah! Mr. Hamilton, you are becoming more humorous now too!”

Even so, Kenneth did not utter any words.

At that very moment, a quick-witted Fabian switched the topic. “Anyway, Mr. Hamilton, are you doing so for the sake of the former Mrs. Hamilton?”

“It should be Mrs. Hamilton!” Kenneth emphasized.

Huh? Did I make another slip of the tongue? Fabian could barely restrain himself from beating his brains out. What the heck is going on? Could it be my IQ level had a drastic drop recently?

“Mr. Hamilton, I sense Reichen's men seem to be on the move again. I've to get going now. Call me at any moment if there's anything!” Fabian stated tactfully after much contemplation. He hung up on Kenneth before the latter was in time to say anything.

Still holding the phone, Fabian had his heart in his mouth for quite a while. My goodness! I even have the audacity to hang up on Mr. Hamilton now! Have I gone nuts? Argh! Whatever! If worse comes to worst, I can still earn a living alongside Ms. Watson! Once the idea popped into his mind, he was suddenly buoyed up again.

Meanwhile, Kenneth's lips curved into a smile as he looked at his phone.

After putting his phone away and preparing to leave, he turned and caught a glimpse of a figure not far away from him. Tilting his brows, he called out, “Anthony?”

Staring at him, Anthony flashed him a smile. Kenneth could not resist falling into a trance momentarily as he gazed at the former's face that bore a strong resemblance to his.

Soon, he regained his usual composure and queried, “When did you reach?”

“A while ago. Thalia has reached the main entrance. I'm here to wait for her,” Anthony explained.

Hearing that, Kenneth nodded without thinking much before walking toward Anthony. “Anthony.”

The boy gazed at him all the while.

“You have forgiven me, right?” Kenneth looked intently at him and cut the crap after pondering for a while. Instead of speaking solemnly like a stern father, he interacted casually like a friend with Anthony.

Stunned, Anthony asked, “Why do you ask me this?”

“What do you think?” Kenneth asked him in return.

A sharp-witted Anthony could wrap his head around Kenneth's stance at once. Instead of feigning ignorance, he decided to cut to the chase. After all, he was never one who played dumb.

“Are you referring to how I suddenly called you Daddy that day?” he asked right away; his lips curled into a smile.

Kenneth nodded in response.

After meditating for a while, Anthony did not deny it. “Frankly speaking, I'm not mad at you anymore.”

“Why?” Kenneth asked again. Initially, he wondered how he could win Anthony over. It never came to him that the latter would suddenly change the way he greeted him.

“It's because...” When Anthony was about to explain, Dan led Thalia toward him.

“Anthony!”

He momentarily froze upon hearing her voice. Throwing Kenneth a glance, he decided not to answer the question at the moment.

He looked in Thalia's direction and greeted her jubilantly, “You're early!”

“Yes!” Thalia nodded and scanned the surroundings before complimenting pleasantly, “Nice environment!”

“If you like it, how about staying here for a certain period?” Anthony asked.

“Staying here?” Dumbfounded, Thalia turned to flash Kenneth a glance instinctively.

Looking proud, Kenneth stood with his hands behind his back. “Don't look at me. The decision does not lie in my hands. The decision maker is right in front of you now.”

Thalia narrowed her eyes as she drew close to Anthony mysteriously. Lowering her voice, she teased, “So are you going to inherit a fortune of hundreds of millions in no time?”

“Do I look like someone living off their parents?” Anthony snapped back before responding softly, “Don't you know I'm an idealistic person?”

Giving him a grimace, Thalia snorted. “Hmph! Easier said than done. Who will be the one inheriting your father's fortune if you're not the one?”

“It belongs to my younger sister,” Anthony stated matter-of-factly.

Thalia could not resist admiring Anthony's and Benjamin's impressive generosity. Hundreds of millions! What a sum! No doubt, we're able to make quite a lot of money in this line. Nevertheless, it's incomparable to inherit a fortune without taking any risk! Even so, the two brothers obviously don't give a d*mn about that. Undeniably, we are a stark contrast to the bigwig of different statuses like him.

Thalia gasped inwardly. Anthony is definitely one with an eye to the future.

At the thought of that, she stated excitedly, “Since Denise will be the wealthiest one, I'd better butter her up!”

On the heels of that, she headed straight into the manor. Seeing that, Anthony followed behind her too.

Standing in the corridor, Kenneth fastened his gaze on their figures with a hint of indecipherable ambiguousness in his eyes.
