Chapter 784 Knew About Everything

It felt as if Anthony was the most dominating person in the room at that moment.

No one at the table dared to make any sound in protest-no one dared to cross him.

Just then, Thalia cleared her throat. "Actually, this is-"

"And you." Anthony whipped his head around to stare at her as he solemnly spoke "Are you not aware of your own condition? I can't believe you're going along with Nat!"

Words eluded Thalia.

Why am I scolded, too?

She wanted to retaliate, but she could not replace the right words.

He was only concerned about her, after all.

However, she still felt inexplicably weird being chided by the young boy. Blinking, she turned to look at Natasha before looking at Benjamin and Denise, who were all expressionless. Finally, Thalia's gaze landed on Anthony. "I-"

"What?" Anthony questioned overbearingly.

"I'm sorry, okay?" Thalia uttered, raising her voice indignantly.

Anthony was rendered speechless.

He had prepared himself to give her an earful, but she abruptly apologized. Her reaction caught him by surprise, and he felt quite frustrated because he couldn't replace a way to vent his pent-up anger. Surprisingly, Anthony was at a loss for words.

Right then, someone snorted.

Laughter then echoed in the room. Natasha was laughing, and so were Benjamin and Denise.

Despite that, Anthony still wore a tense, serious expression on his face.

Being the shrewd girl she was, Denise hastily walked over to her brother and grabbed his arm. "All right, Tony, I'm sorry for not paying enough attention, but from now on, I'm going to keep a close eye on Nat and Thalia. I won't let them get a chance to do anything reckless again! So... don't be mad anymore, okay?"

Anthony continued to stay silent with his lips pursed into a thin line.

At that, Benjamin chimed in, "We weren't careful enough. Tony's right. We're sorry."

What else could Anthony say after everyone apologized?

Right then, the housekeeper brought breakfast over, but everyone's focus was still on Anthony, waiting for him to spare them.

A moment later, Anthony relented and said, "Let's eat."

Once he said that, everyone knew that he was finally letting the matter go.

Denise immediately let go of him and took a seat by the table.

"Let's eat," Natasha said before lifting the coffee cup in front of her out of habit. However, Denise promptly stopped her and put her glass of milk in front of Natasha before continuing, "Drink this instead. You need more calcium."

Natasha glanced at her coffee. A pause later, she said, "I've gotten used to drinking coffee." With that, she put the cup back on the table and picked up the glass of milk to drink instead.

Anthony took note of how obedient she was, and a satisfied look finally flashed past his eyes.

Benjamin then did the same with his glass of milk. "Thalia, drink this."

Thalia sighed. "At this rate, I'm going to be full just by drinking. What a scrumptious meal."

Right then, Anthony said, "Your breakfast will be plain in the future."

Thalia wanted to retort but decided against it when everyone was quiet.

Flashing a smile at Anthony, she uttered, "Oh wow, thank you."

"You're welcome," Anthony responded.

Thalia inhaled slowly to suppress her annoyance. After pressing her lips tightly together, she lowered her head and continued digging in.

Right then, Natasha turned to Anthony and asked, "Have you packed your things?"

Now that they were back on the main topic and since Natasha was the one talking to him, Anthony dropped the stern tone and nodded. "Yes. We're not bringing many things along with us since we'll be back in around two to three days."

Natasha nodded slowly. Another thought occurred to her, and she said, "By the way, I talked to your daddy about this. He's fine with it, but he says he hopes that, besides Thalia, someone else will travel with you to ensure your safety."

Before Anthony could respond to that, Thalia furrowed her brows and asked, "Who?"

"I don't know, but I'm guessing that he'll assign someone from DX Group," Natasha speculated.

"So he doesn't have faith in me," Thalia muttered under her breath, disgruntled.

Thalia appeared agitated at the mention of Kenneth, so Natasha softly corrected, "It's for your safety too, Thalia."

"My safety? Do I even need their protection? I'll be thanking my stars if the other person doesn't turn out to be a burden," Thalia grumbled.

However, Anthony mulled over it and inclined his head. "I think that's a good idea, too. Also, I have someone suitable in mind..."

"Who is it?"

"Miguel," Anthony said.

Natasha narrowed her eyes. "The guy who became your student?"

Anthony nodded. "That's right. Although he's young, he's proficient in combat. Everything should be fine if he comes along with us."

Natasha ruminated about it before mumbling, "If that's the case, then I'm fine with it, but Dave..."

"Mr. Dave is fine with it," Anthony cut her off.

At the sight of Anthony's confidence, Natasha frowned and wondered out loud, "Why is he saying yes to everything?"

Thalia chimed in gloomily, "Obviously he's going to say yes. If he sends someone to come along with us, he might be able to glean bits and pieces of information." Natasha turned to Anthony at that.

"That's what Mr. Dave said, but I think he actually intends for Miguel to gain some experience by tagging along on this trip," Anthony said.

"In that case, I'm totally fine with it."

"What about Daddy?" Anthony queried.

"I'll talk to him about this," Natasha promised.

Anthony nodded as a wistful look surfaced in his eyes. He was reluctant to part with his mother. "That's settled, then. Nat, we'll be leaving tonight." Natasha bobbed her head. "Okay."

"Please keep yourself safe when I'm not around," Anthony worriedly reminded.

However, Natasha gave him a nonchalant smile. "I have your daddy and Dave here. Do I even need to do anything to keep myself safe?"

Anthony nodded in agreement. "You're right, but I still hope that you'll take care of yourself. I'll be back soon."

For some reason, the look in Anthony's eyes made Natasha wonder if he knew about everything.

She frowned, but since Anthony did not say anything out loud, Natasha was not going to expose anything either.

Instead, she said, "Anthony, I doubt you're going to replace a girlfriend in the future if you keep nagging people like this."

Anthony seemed unfazed by that, nevertheless. "It doesn't matter. I'll stay by your side forever if I never get a girlfriend. Isn't that better?"
