Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 342

Chapter 342

Anthony laughed as he listened to Thalia's words. “I don't have any evil plans. I'm so innocent and adorable!”

Thalia was speechless.

Innocent and adorable? What nonsense! These words do not fit him at all!

Mimicking his tone of voice, Thalia replied, “Don't you think you are mistaken about your own character?”

Anthony cast a glance at her. “Am I mistaken? Aren't I innocent and adorable?”

“Do you remember those cruel things you did to the netizens?” Thalia asked.

“I...”

“Do you remember the hospital incident where you picked up a knife with the intention of attacking the man who hurt your mommy?”

“Um...”

“Have you forgotten the ambitious wishes you made?” Thalia asked.

Once more, Anthony was rendered speechless.

He blinked as he pondered over it for some time.

At this moment, Thalia looked at him. “Do you still think you're so innocent and adorable?”

Anthony took a deep breath. “I've gone overboard!”

“Well, it's not too late to recognize yourself for who you are!”

“Um... I only made one comment. Do you need to take revenge on me?”

Thalia smiled. “As you know, we, the users of the Darknetz, are vengeful people!”

At this moment, Anthony understood the truth of the statement—hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Benjamin and Denise could not help giggling as they watched the two of them bickering.

Thalia looked at them. “What's so funny?”

“Tony has been bullying us all these years. Finally, he has met his match!” Denise replied.

Benjamin nodded. “Thalia, you're his nemesis!”

At this, Thalia raised her eyebrows. “Is that so?”

“At the very least, I've never come across anyone who can out-talk him,” Denise said. “Thalia, you're the first.”

Hearing that, Thalia was immediately pleased, and she glanced at Anthony. “Is that true?”

“Do you believe her words?”

“Yes, certainly!”

Anthony smiled. “Apparently, women tend to pay heed to what they like to hear and ignore the truth.”

“We call this selective perception,” Thalia emphasized.

“Apparently, you know well about what kind of person you are. That's great.” Anthony nodded.

It was Thalia's turn to be speechless.

Indeed, Anthony was a sore loser!

In the end, he still made some harsh remarks as a way of retort.

They said I had won the argument... Was it not just a fluke shot?

With this thought on her mind, Thalia heaved a helpless sigh. “Apparently, I will not be needed to carry out tomorrow's mission. Therefore, I shall go back to rest. Goodnight.” As she spoke, she put on a tired look and turned around to leave.

Seeing this, Anthony stopped her. “Please don't mind me!”

“What now? Is there anything else?”

Anthony looked at her, took a deep breath, and smiled as he spoke. “You are a beautiful and smart woman, so I guess you won't hold this against me and come at me with despicable means, right?”

The first part of his words was full of “praise,” but he ended the sentence with a “threat.”

Thalia looked at Anthony, whose words carried an implied meaning. She was unsure if she should feel angry or otherwise.

“If you want to coax me, you should do it properly, no?” Thalia said.

Anthony thought for a moment. “I will double the benefits that you want!”

Thalia was startled. “Do you think that I'm going to give in just because of the benefits—”

“Five times, then!”

Thalia nearly choked. “I...”

“Forget about it if you are unwilling. If worse comes to worst, I'll forsake this batch of goods. Anyway, it's not a great loss to me!” Anthony said.

“Don't! I'll go. I'll go!” Thalia quickly replied.

Five times! It's a fivefold increase in the benefits!

It was no wonder that she would give in to Anthony. If she did not agree to it right away, it might be too late.

Only a fool would forsake a good opportunity out of anger.

At the same moment, Denise and Benjamin were observing them with frowns on their faces.

They had never expected Thalia to concede to defeat so quickly.

They found out that they had overestimated her.

After staring at Anthony for a moment, they lowered their heads as they realized that they were wrong about Anthony again.

Then, Thalia looked at Anthony. “We should not involve personal feelings when dealing with important matters, right? Besides, profits matter most! Don't you think so?”

“Have you decided to go?”

“Certainly!”

“What about Kyle?”

“We'll deal with Kyle after this is over!” Thalia said.

Anthony's lips curled upward victoriously. “Great! When Kyle wants an explanation, I'm not the only one responsible. We made the decision together!”

There was nothing that Thalia could say.

With just a few words, Anthony had shared responsibility with her instead of shouldering it alone.

Thalia was upset, but she could not do anything about it.

Thalia nodded. “Right, we made the decision together!”

Only then did Anthony smile in satisfaction. Then, his gaze fell upon Benjamin and Denise. “For tomorrow's mission, only Thalia and I will go. Denise, you're returning to the film crew, aren't you? Go back if you must. Benjamin, the injury on your hand hasn't recovered fully, so you should stay at home and rest!”

“No!” Benjamin exclaimed.

Anthony frowned.

Benjamin said, “This is the first serious mission that we are going on. If I don't go, I'll regret it for the rest of my life.”

“But your hand—”

“I'm not sure what I'll be doing tomorrow. However, I'm sure that I'll be able to help in some way. At the very least, I can be the lookout.”

Anthony was still a little worried.

“Tony, if you don't take me with you, I'll go there on my own. It's up to you!” Benjamin said with determination.

Anthony knew that his younger brother was as good as his word.

With that in mind, he nodded. “All right then. We go as a team.”

Upon hearing that, Benjamin curled his lips into a smirk. Not only was he not worried about the mission that they would carry out the next day, but his eyes were filled with inexplicable excitement at the moment.

“That's great. So, it's decided then. Tomorrow night, Thalia will say that she's taking us out to do some sightseeing!”

Thalia nodded. “What's the plan?”

“The plan is to play it by ear.”

Thalia glared at him. “Don't tell me you don't have a plan!”

“No matter how good a plan is, there is a chance that things might get out of hand. So, the best move is to be flexible and go with the flow!” Anthony's countenance was filled with confidence.

Thalia was speechless.

Immediately, she became skeptical of the mission for the next day.

Even though Anthony was amazing on the internet, in real life, he was just a child after all.

Furthermore, he had never been on any live mission before. This was his first.

Most importantly, he was just a feeble kid.

With this thought in her mind, Thalia continued to smile politely, but her expectations for the next day's mission were greatly reduced.

At this point in time, Denise was frowning and thinking hard.

“All right. This is settled. It's quite late now, and we should go back to rest.”

Right then, Denise called out, “Tony!”

Anthony turned around and looked at her. “What's up?”

Denise hesitated for some time before she spoke. “I want to go too!” Anthony frowned and asked her, “Don't you need to go back to the film crew?”

“I can return to them a day later!”

“But...”

“I want to go!” Denise looked at him with a determined gaze.

She wanted to find out if she should undergo special training.

Perhaps the mission was the best chance for her to clear her doubt.

Looking at Denise, Anthony pondered for a while before replying, “All right. We shall go together tomorrow.”

Denise looked back at him, her lips curling upward.

Thalia looked at the three of them. This was the first time she was going on a mission with three children. This feeling is... hard to describe...
