Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 870

Chapter 870 Emotional Manipulation

Seeing that Anthony didn't speak, the group of people had no intention of letting him off the hook just like that.

“Why aren't you talking?” Thalia asked.

Denise crossed her arms. Although she didn't know what was going on at the moment, she couldn't shake the feeling that they were the ones who did everything, yet Anthony had taken credit for it.

Leaning back lazily, Denise adopted a questioning stance and said, “Yeah, Tony, why don't you tell us?”

Benjamin was definitely siding with the majority, and he said directly, “You've upset two girls. If you don't explain yourself, I'm afraid you won't get through this!”

At this table, besides Miguel, three people were looking at Anthony with the same expression in their eyes.

Anthony was definitely the type who refused to give up until he was facing irreversible defeat. Looking at the others, he stubbornly refuses to admit anything. “You should ask Magus about this. How would I know?”

“You can just explain it!” Thalia insisted on making Anthony confess.

Anthony replied, “Or maybe Magus has a keen eye and thinks I'm the smartest? So he treats me a little differently?”

The other three people were speechless.

Miguel, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but speak up. “Master, aren't you just invoking resentment from the others by saying this?”

Anthony turned to look at Miguel. “This is the best answer I could think of!”

Thalia sneered, “Anthony, it seems like you're itching to be taught a lesson!”

Anthony responded, “Thalia, a gentleman settles a dispute through communication instead of a fight!”

“What a coincidence! I'm not a gentleman; I'm a lady!” At that, Thalia stood up and walked toward Anthony.

Anthony was most afraid of this. Seeing her making a move, he immediately spoke up, “All right! Fine! I'll tell you! Okay?”

Seeing that Anthony was about to confess, Thalia looked at him and said, “You're always like this! You never confess anything until you're being cornered!”

With that, Thalia sat back down in her seat, her gaze fixed on Anthony. She opened her mouth and said, “Go ahead!”

Anthony thought for a moment. “Let me organize my words!”

“All right, you have ten seconds!”

Anthony was rendered speechless. She originally wanted to retort, but seeing Thalia looking like she could get up at any moment, he simply gave up.

Anthony thought for a moment and gathered his recent experiences. Then, he finally spoke up just before the ten seconds were up. “Actually, it's not a big deal. We offered to help him, and in return, he gave me some food and chatted with me for a bit. Personally, I don't think it's too much. What do you guys think?”

“Don't you think it's strange that we did all the work, but he never treated us like this?” Thalia asked.

“Yeah, it was me and Ben who accompanied Lina and made her happy, and it was Thalia who went to help Magus find Lina. Why didn't he treat us the same way?” Denise asked.

Benjamin agreed and nodded from the side.

When it came to confronting situations, it was better to let the girls handle it. Their somewhat aggressive demeanor was just right to handle someone with Anthony's personality.

“That's because you didn't have the need back then. If you were in the same situation, how would you know if Magus wouldn't do the same?” Anthony retorted.

Even so, it still sounded like Anthony was trying to talk himself out of this situation.

Thalia couldn't out-talk Anthony, but she had the advantage of understanding him well.

Moreover, Denise was quite a talker. She wasn't inferior in any conversation or argument, and she never seemed to be at a disadvantage. However, when it came to facing Anthony, she found it hard to argue her case. Perhaps it was due to the absolute authority of Anthony's identity as her older brother.

At that moment, Thalia and Denise exchanged glances.
