Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 507

Chapter 507

Undeniably, Kenneth had a sharp tongue.

His words were so ruthless that he could trample someone else's dignity beneath his feet with merely a few words.

it was clear as day that Boss was at a disadvantage in that aspect.

Shooting daggers at him, Boss was so livid that veins popped up on his neck. A glimmer of murder flashed across his yellow eyes.

To him, Kenneth's existence was a constant reminder of his humiliation that night.

I'm definitely going to settle this score with him, and with his life to boot!

A moment later, a sneer bloomed on his face. “All things aside, J, your tongue is truly impressive. But I wonder whether the same can be said of your capabilities.”

Still, Kenneth appeared unfazed. “You'll know after trying them out, no?”

Seeing that he was still acting high and mighty, Boss was utterly infuriated. He hissed through gritted teeth, “Are you still ignorant about your situation and predicament? If you submit to me or say something nice right now, I might spare you!”

At that, Kenneth gave a sudden bark of laughter. The look in his eyes as he gazed at the man brimmed with mockery. “Really? How are you going to spare me? Leave me an intact body?”

“That can be arranged!”

“Since you've already said as much, do you think I should still give you the money?” While saying that, Kenneth lifted his eyes and looked straight at him. Similarly, his eyes glinted with hostility.

Boss eyed him. “Do you think you've still got a choice?”

“Am I truly without a choice when I'm already on the verge of death?” Kenneth chuckled, his eyes teeming with scorn.

“Why, do you not want your woman anymore?” Boss asked all of a sudden.

“Yes, of course, I want her. But I can only want her on the condition that I'm alive. Say, how can I still do that if I'm dead?” Kenneth countered.

At once, Boss was stumped. He narrowed his eyes at the man.

He isn't going by the book at all.

At his silence, Kenneth regarded him derisively. “What's the matter? Don't tell me you thought that those heroes in TV shows saying they'd rather sacrifice themselves for the heroines are also true in real life?” he scoffed.

Nonetheless, Boss remained silent.

Once again, Kenneth sneered, “I didn't expect you to be such a sentimental person and believe all that. Indeed, I can't rule out the possibility that someone like that exists. But do you think I'm such a person? I don't mind forking out money since I've got loads of it. But if you want me to compensate you with my life...” As he spoke, he shook his head. “You think too much!”

“Really?” Boss pressed.

“What do you think?”

Finally, Boss snickered. “It looks like you're just as cruel to the mother of your children!”

When that came up, the smile hovering over Kenneth's lips abruptly froze.

Needless to say, Boss noticed that. He started guffawing. “Why, are you surprised that I know that? J, I really wish to know whether you're truly as heartless as you claim!”

Putting his smile away, Kenneth jerked his eyes up at him. “Say, you watched so many TV shows. How could you be ignorant to the practice of wealthy families keeping the child while giving the mother up?”

As though narrating a story, he continued, “Since you've already investigated me, why didn't you look into our divorce back then? At that time, I had no qualms about allowing her to leave even when she was pregnant. Do you think I'd really care? Let me put it this way—she claimed to have given birth to my children today, but someone else might appear and claim the same tomorrow. Am I supposed to give my life for them all?”

His words were unquestionably shameless.

However, it also corresponded with human nature.

Indeed, Boss doubted it for a brief second.

True enough, Natasha mentioned their divorce to me, but I still don't believe that he's really as apathetic as she said. How could he possibly have no feelings toward someone he didn't mind paying a ransom with a fortune?

“So, you don't have any feelings for her?” he questioned.

“That isn't exactly true. She's very beautiful and feisty, unique from the women I've seen in the past. As such, I like her quite a bit. And for that reason, I don't mind spending a fortune in exchange for her,” Kenneth drawled.

At that moment, he portrayed a scumbag perfectly.

Boss scrutinized him, finding it rather difficult to distinguish whether he was speaking the truth then.

He glanced over his shoulder at the woman a near distance away. “Are you serious?”

Kenneth arched an eyebrow, appearing to be a total rich jerk.

“Bear in mind that she's listening,” Boss reminded. Tossing a look behind him, he signaled for his men to bring Natasha over.

When Kenneth saw Natasha, his expression changed imperceptibly. Subsequently, he glared at the man and roared, “You're simply despicable!”

Boss swept a gaze over him. “How so? Isn't it nice to have her listen in?”

Kenneth's eyes narrowed a fraction. As he gazed at Natasha, a glimmer of apprehension flittered across his face.

Boss, on the other hand, turned to Natasha at the side, whose face was devoid of expression. “Did you hear it all?”

In response, Natasha merely sneered, “I've always known that, so I didn't need you to remind me about it!”

Eyeing them, Kenneth stated coldly, “Since my gentlemanly façade had been ripped off, let's go straight to the point. That was the sum of things. So, do you want to make the exchange? Otherwise, I'm leaving!”

Boss glared at him. “Of course!”

“Let's make the exchange simultaneously!”

“Okay!” Boss inclined his head in agreement.

He motioned at the man standing at the side. The man tapped something on the laptop in hand and headed right toward Kenneth.

He placed the laptop in front of the latter. Kenneth stared at it for a while before he entered a series of numbers. When only the last digit was left, he looked at Boss. “Let her go.”

Seeing that, Boss untied Natasha's bound hands. Throughout it all, she remained expressionless and didn't bother sparing him a single glance.

After untying her, Boss let her go.

Only then did Natasha walk toward Kenneth.

At her approach, Kenneth entered the last digit into the laptop.

When he tapped confirm, the interface on the laptop indicated that the transaction was in progress.

By the time Natasha reached him, a notification indicating that the transaction was successful popped up on the interface. Everything was just right.

Thus, the person holding the laptop closed it before turning and nodding at Boss.

Boss pinned his eyes on Kenneth. “Do you still remember what I said back then, J?”

All of Kenneth's focus was on Natasha. When he noticed the injuries on her, especially, his eyes went red-rimmed. Upon hearing Boss' remark, he lifted his eyes and swung his gaze over. At that very moment, Boss whipped out a pistol from somewhere or other, loaded it, and aimed it right at Natasha's back.

“I said I'd definitely make you regret it!”

While saying that, he fired a shot at Natasha's back without the slightest hesitation.
