Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth)

Looking at Kyle, Anthony nodded. "I will definitely find out the truth as soon as possible and not put you in a difficult position for too long!"

Kyle stared at him, having something to say. After a long moment, he murmured, "Don't blame Holden. When hatred has built up for too long, anyone can lose his sanity at times."

However, Anthony countered, "If he had truly lost his sanity, I wouldn't be standing here right now."

No said anything explicitly, but it was clear to everyone that Holden had indeed held back.

Seeing that Anthony didn't harbor any grudge, Kyle finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you wouldn't understand."

Anthony forced a smile. "Tell Holden to give me one month. In a maximum of one month, I will definitely give him an explanation."

Kyle looked at him and nodded. "I'll pass the message to him!"

Anthony stared at the man, his gaze as dark as night. He didn't say anything more, but Kyle seemed to understand all the same.

"Travel safe," Kyle instructed as he looked at the little boy.

In response, Anthony inclined his head.

Kyle retracted his gaze and shifted it to Dave, who was standing a near distance away. He said sharply, "I never thought our reunion after so many years would be under such circumstances. But don't get the wrong idea. I'm not afraid of you. I merely don't want to make things too difficult for Anthony and the others."

Hearing that, Dave took a step forward and looked at him, speaking in a matching tone. "If it weren't for Anthony, you wouldn't have seen his person now, but his dead body."

Kyle held the man's gaze, his look in his eyes dark and unfathomable.

Dave did the same, neither backing down.

After a while, Kyle declared, "You'd better hope that the outcome is as we surmised. Otherwise, I'll certainly bring men over and level this place."

Dave smiled slightly. "You're welcomed anytime."

The two of them looked at each other without uttering a word. Yet, the storm brewing in their eyes was downright frightening.

"They... won't start fighting, will they?" Denise asked at the side, her voice barely above a whisper.

"No." The one who spoke was Benjamin. Watching them, he said softly, "Since Kyle stopped Holden, it's proof that he has a rough analysis of the current situation. He is a person who considers the bigger picture, so he'll never act recklessly at this time."

Anthony remained silent, merely watching their figures with his brows furrowed slightly.

Even though he didn't say anything, he agreed with Benjamin inwardly.

"Really?" Denise turned to look at Anthony, still finding it somewhat hard to believe.

"We'll find out soon enough," Benjamin said.

Denise didn't ask any more questions. She looked in the duo's direction, her eyebrows knitted together.

Sure enough, a moment later, Kyle sneered at Dave, "Then, you'd better brace yourself because if that's the case, I won't show any mercy."

Dave quirked a brow, simply smiling without a word.

Kyle swept his gaze over the man before turning to Anthony, who stood at the side, and said, "I'll be leaving first."

Anthony nodded at him.

Without another word, Kyle whirled around and headed straight for the car. Seeing that, the people around him immediately followed suit.

In an instant, the crowd gathered moments ago had halved in number.

In the car, Kyle climbed in while Spencer and Thalia watched at the side.

Seeing that he had returned, Thalia looked at him. "Boss."

Kyle turned his gaze to them. "How is he?"

"He's fine and should wake up in about half an hour," Thalia replied.

Kyle nodded, then looked at her. "I will take Holden back to the headquarters directly today."

Speaking of that, Thalia paused slightly before asking, "Leaving directly?"

Kyle nodded. "Yes."

"Um..." Thalia looked at him, then glanced at Spencer beside her, appearing a touch hesitant.

Despite her inarticulation, Kyle knew what she wanted to say. He eyed her. "Aren't you going to Glenport City with Anthony? Go ahead!"

At his words, Thalia's eyes lit up instantly. But in the next heartbeat, a hint of worry stained her beautiful features. "But what about you and Holden?"

Kyle took a deep breath. "I can handle it."

"Would it be somewhat devious of me if I just left like this?"

Kyle rolled his eyes at her. "I'm not asking you to go there for fun. Anthony is now completely focused on finding out the truth. If it's really as he suspects, there should be someone else or some other force behind this. He's aggressive in his actions, so you must protect him well."

That's both valid and sufficient, and I absolutely have no reason to refuse.

With that in mind, she immediately nodded. "I understand. Don't worry, Boss. You can count on me to protect him."

Kyle glanced at her, then at Spencer beside her. "Today's incident was unexpected. Let's have a good talk after everything is settled."

Upon hearing that, Thalia quickly nodded.

Beside her, Spencer added, "Anytime."

"All right, it's about time. I should be going now," Kyle said, looking at them.

"Drive carefully, Boss," Thalia urged with her gaze fixed on him.

Kyle gave a dip of his head and said nothing more. At that moment, Thalia and Spencer alighted from the car.

Buckled his seatbelt, Kyle cast his gaze at the duo standing beyond the car window and said, "While you protect them, don't forget to do the same for yourself."

At that, Thalia's face lit up with a smile. "Got it."

"Bye." With that, Kyle started the car and drove off with a roar.

Thalia watched as the car's silhouette receded into the distance, in a daze for a long time.

Right then, Spencer beside her teased, "Why, you can't bear to part with them?"

Hearing that, Thalia turned to look at him. "What do you mean?"

"The car's already out of sight, yet you're still staring. Isn't it because you can't bear to part with them?" Spencer asked.

"Of course not," Thalia denied. "I'm just thinking that there will be problems between Boss and Holden when they get back after all this fuss."

Spencer didn't comment on that.

"I really didn't expect things to get to this point." Thalia was very much worried.

At that moment, Spencer gently rested his hand on her shoulder. "Men have their own ways of handling things. You don't need to worry about it. What's done is done, and no one can change anything now." Following his words, Thalia looked up at him. She hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Okay."

"Also, there's something I must discuss with you seriously," Spencer enunciated, his expression particularly solemn.

Conversely, Thalia had a bewildered look on her face, "What is it?"

"Were you trying to get yourself killed, rushing in front of the gun like that during such a dangerous moment?" Spencer asked.

Speaking of which, Thalia paused slightly. Then, she said, "I was just worried that Holden might really pull the trigger!"

"Yes, but have you ever thought about what would've happened to you if he truly did so? You could be lying in a pool of blood here now," Spencer said, emphasizing each word.

Thalia was taken aback. "No way. Holden would never shoot me!"

"What if the gun had gone off by accident?"

"There aren't so many accidents. Besides, I wasn't thinking so far at the time," Thalia retorted.

Staring at her, Spencer suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about me?" Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
