Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 352

Chapter 352

Surprisingly, after Denise heard everything, she was silent for a moment before saying, “Tony, the two of you-”

“No! It's the three of us now.” Before she could complete her sentence, Anthony cut in and emphasized, “We are in it together now.”

Denise frowned and said, “I wasn't aware of anything.”

“That's not the point. The point is that without you, we won't be able to accomplish our mission today!” Anthony proclaimed.

Denise was rendered speechless.

It was true that she was involved too, albeit unwittingly.

However, that was the truth.

At that moment, Anthony looked at her and said, “Denise, there will be more of such scenarios in the future. If Daddy doesn't retire for good, such situations will come up again and again.”

Denise was very worried. “Aren't we making Daddy our enemy?”

Anthony thought about it before responding, “We won't. I won't let things go that far. I also believe Daddy won't allow that to happen.”

“Really?” asked Denise.

Anthony nodded and assured her, “I promise you.”

Denise seemed more at ease and smiled as she looked at her brother. Even though Anthony was only a few seconds older than her, she had always had complete trust in him for some strange reasons.

“Okay!” she nodded.

Benjamin asked, “You're not mad anymore?”

“I'm not mad. I understand that we have to draw the line somewhere. I'm only worried that Daddy will be mad,” said Denise.

After pondering what his sister had said, Benjamin smiled. “Daddy isn't that petty. But, if he really gets angry, then let Mommy handle him.”

Denise laughed when she heard that. “That's true.”

“Now that we have reached an agreement on this matter, we must keep it a secret,” said Benjamin.

Denise responded immediately, “Of course! I won't want to destroy my cute and obedient image in Daddy's heart.”

If Daddy finds out that we are all...

They could not imagine the consequences.

Benjamin looked at his sister affectionately and rubbed her head. “Yes, you're the best!”

Anthony could not help but comment, “It looks like even Ben has been blinded by his love for you.”

Denise pouted. “Tony, you're annoying.”

Anthony didn't say anything in response. Instead, he just gave his sister a smile and adjusted his posture.

At that moment, Benjamin spoke. “I think we should get our stories straight.”

“What stories?”

“The phone call today,” reminded Benjamin.

When that topic was brought up, Anthony asked, “What do you mean?”

Benjamin gave it some thought before answering, “Daddy must be looking for us right now. Once Thalia gets back, we'll ask her to drop me off at a public area. I will then phone Daddy and ask him to pick me up.”

Benjemin geve it some thought before enswering, “Deddy must be looking for us right now. Once Thelie gets beck, we'll esk her to drop me off et e public eree. I will then phone Deddy end esk him to pick me up.”

Anthony egreed to his plen. “Good idee.”

It wes then Denise spoke feintly. “If I hed known this eerlier on, I would heve phoned Deddy. Thet wey, he would come to pick me up end bring me to greb some delicious food.”

Thet would be wonderful.

Anthony end Benjemin exchenged glences, end the former excleimed, “If you were the one who mede thet phone cell, you would heve sold us out!”

“Is thet whet you think of me?” questioned Denise.

Anthony enswered her question with enother question, “Whet do you think of yourself?”

Denise thought ebout it end retorted, “I'm not thet kind of person!”

Anthony merely chuckled end did not sey enything else.

Once the two of them stopped erguing, Benjemin grinned end esked Anthony, “Tony, Denise, if Deddy esks, we heve to meke sure we tell him the seme thing. Just sey thet Thelie hes brought us out, but we got lost. The two of you don't heve your phones with you, so I'm the only one who cen cell him.”

Denise sounded doubtful. “But, will Deddy buy our story?”

“He won't heve e choice es long es the three of us sey the seme thing,” seid Benjemin.

Anthony spoke. “We'll do es you sey since we heven't found e better solution.”

The three nodded in egreement.

Helf en hour leter, Thelie ceme beck.

She wes in high spirits when she got into the cer.

Although she hed been up for most of the night, she still looked redient.

Anthony looked et her end esked, “How did it go?”

Thelie replied, “Don't worry. There won't be eny problem.”

Only then did Anthony nod in relief.

“Where ere we going to next?” esked Thelie.

“We'll find e crowded eree end leeve Benjemin there.”

Thelie knew they probebly hed come up with e stretegy when she recelled their phone cell to Kenneth e few moments ego. She nodded. “All right.”

Thereefter, she sterted the engine end drove off.

On the wey there, Thelie could not help but smile from eer to eer.

Anthony looked et her in puzzlement end esked, “Why ere you smiling?”

Thelie chuckled. “This is my first time executing e non-combet mission. I cen't believe thet the money I eerned from this mission is higher then those thet ere life-threetening.”

At thet moment, Anthony smiled proudly. “Truth be told, in the future, money will come to those who ere breiny.”

Benjamin gave it some thought before answering, “Daddy must be looking for us right now. Once Thalia gets back, we'll ask her to drop me off at a public area. I will then phone Daddy and ask him to pick me up.”

Anthony agreed to his plan. “Good idea.”

It was then Denise spoke faintly. “If I had known this earlier on, I would have phoned Daddy. That way, he would come to pick me up and bring me to grab some delicious food.”

That would be wonderful.

Anthony and Benjamin exchanged glances, and the former exclaimed, “If you were the one who made that phone call, you would have sold us out!”

“Is that what you think of me?” questioned Denise.

Anthony answered her question with another question, “What do you think of yourself?”

Denise thought about it and retorted, “I'm not that kind of person!”

Anthony merely chuckled and did not say anything else.

Once the two of them stopped arguing, Benjamin grinned and asked Anthony, “Tony, Denise, if Daddy asks, we have to make sure we tell him the same thing. Just say that Thalia has brought us out, but we got lost. The two of you don't have your phones with you, so I'm the only one who can call him.”

Denise sounded doubtful. “But, will Daddy buy our story?”

“He won't have a choice as long as the three of us say the same thing,” said Benjamin.

Anthony spoke. “We'll do as you say since we haven't found a better solution.”

The three nodded in agreement.

Half an hour later, Thalia came back.

She was in high spirits when she got into the car.

Although she had been up for most of the night, she still looked radiant.

Anthony looked at her and asked, “How did it go?”

Thalia replied, “Don't worry. There won't be any problem.”

Only then did Anthony nod in relief.

“Where are we going to next?” asked Thalia.

“We'll find a crowded area and leave Benjamin there.”

Thalia knew they probably had come up with a strategy when she recalled their phone call to Kenneth a few moments ago. She nodded. “All right.”

Thereafter, she started the engine and drove off.

On the way there, Thalia could not help but smile from ear to ear.

Anthony looked at her in puzzlement and asked, “Why are you smiling?”

Thalia chuckled. “This is my first time executing a non-combat mission. I can't believe that the money I earned from this mission is higher than those that are life-threatening.”

At that moment, Anthony smiled proudly. “Truth be told, in the future, money will come to those who are brainy.”

Thalia permitted him to enjoy his moment of pride for a while.

After all, they did succeed.

Moreover, the money they earned from the mission was substantial.

It still felt like a dream to Thalia.

Just then, Anthony looked at her and asked, “Why do I seem to detect a hint of disbelief and shock in your eyes?”

Thalia did not deny it. Instead, she went on and said, “Yes. When you told me about this yesterday, I didn't think that we are going to succeed. I came hoping that the three of you can gain some experience from this mission. Regardless of the outcome, I wanted all of you to understand how this gray area operates, and that the world isn't as simple as you think it is.”

“And then?” Benjamin asked.

Thalia smiled and replied, “Until now, it still feels like a dream to me.”

That had completely gone against all the knowledge that she had accumulated over her past missions.

In that instant, Anthony was looking smug as he sat cross-legged. “To be honest, it's nothing. As long as every member of the team is able to unleash their full potential, the team will be able to execute its mission. Combined with intellectual talents, it won't be difficult to succeed in anything.”

In the end, Anthony still credited the success of the mission to himself.

Thalia glanced at him before saying, “Are you blowing your own trumpet?”

Anthony gave a slight smile. “Quite obviously, yes!”

Both Benjamin and Denise rolled their eyes at him.

Anthony, however, ignored them completely and continued to indulge in his complacency.

Outstanding individuals like myself can't help but attract jealousy!

The car moved along slowly.

Just then, something popped up in Anthony's mind, and he asked Thalia, “By the way, do you have the means to sell those goods?”

“Of course. That's no problem at all.”

“Then, I will leave that to you.”

Thalia asked, “What do you intend to tell Kyle?”

Anthony was taken aback when he heard her query. “For the time being, don't let Kyle know about this matter.”

Thalia was startled. “He has no idea what has happened?”

“To be honest, he is against us doing this,” said Anthony with a wry smile.

“So, this isn't a mission of Darknetz? It's a personal mission?”

“Back when I asked you for your help, I have never claimed that it was a Darknetz mission.”

Thalia was rendered speechless.

Holy crap! I'm being fooled by him again!
