Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth)
Chapter 971 Personal Grudge Between

Inside the camp's room, Thalia was listening to the buzzing sound outside, contemplating whether to look out, when suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Boss walked in from outside. Upon seeing him, Thalia squinted her eyes.

At that moment, the people who had entered with him said, "Boss, we can't delay any longer. We must leave this place now!"

However, Boss turned a deaf ear as if he hadn't heard anything at all.

Looking at Thalia, his eyes were filled with pity. This face... it's just like my sister's. If she were grown up now, she would probably look like this, right?

Boss approached and looked at her. He was about to reach out and touch her face, but Thalia preemptively swatted his hand away.

"What are you doing?" Thalia retorted, her face flushed with urgency.

"Do you... know a girl named Bella?" Boss asked.

For the first time in such a long while, he spoke with such a gentle voice and tone.

How he wished that the person before him was his sister. Even if all those years of resentment turned into a joke, at least he still had a family member.

However, Thalia spoke up directly. "I don't know her, nor have I even heard of her."

She knew that what he was looking at was not her, but the mask on her face.

She wasn't particularly curious about what their relationship was. What intrigued her more was how Anthony found out about that.

Boss looked at her. "Let me tell you a story..."

"Can I refuse to listen?" Thalia retorted.

"No!" Boss said outright.

What else could Thalia say?

She rolled her eyes and didn't speak again.

And so, Boss began to tell the story.

"Once upon a time, there was a brother and sister who were so poor that they could barely afford to eat..."

To be honest, Thalia was initially indifferent and didn't pay much attention. However, as she listened further, she found herself somewhat moved.

"And so, she was used as bait to lure the enemy. After that, everyone told me she was dead, but I never believed it. I searched the world over, but there was never any news of her..." As he spoke, he turned around to look at Thalia, "Until I saw you!"

Thalia was stunned.

Looking at Boss' gaze toward her, it was as if he had decided that she was his sister.

Even though she was moved by the story, Thalia merely lamented the death of that young girl. As someone who had experienced being treated as less than human, she considered herself fortunate to have met Spencer. As for that girl, Thalia didn't know if she was as lucky.

Seeing her silent, with an expression that seemed unclear and indistinct, Boss looked at her. "Do you have something to say?"

Thalia narrowed her eyes. Even though she was moved, she remained a clear-headed and rational person.

Looking at him, she said, "Your story is compelling and touching, but unfortunately, I am not your sister. I have memories from when I was one year old and onwards. I know very well who my parents are and how I grew up. So, I am not your sister, and you should not pin your hopes on me!"

Boss looked at her, seemingly a bit unwilling to let go. "Perhaps you've forgotten?"

"I haven't forgotten. I know better than anyone else who I am and where I come from!" Thalia emphasized each word.

However, Boss was unwilling to believe.

After all those years of long search, now that he had finally found someone so similar to Bella, how could he possibly give up so easily?

As he was deep in thought, someone beside him spoke up. "Boss, the situation outside is bad. We must evacuate now!"

Boss narrowed his eyes, then stepped forward and seized her hand. "Bella, come with me!"

Thalia squinted her eyes. "I'm not your sister!"

"Come with me. I will make you remember everything!" Boss seemed to have made up his mind from the bottom of his heart. Just as he was about to drag her away forcibly, Thalia was about to resist when suddenly, voices could be heard from outside. "Let her go!"

Upon hearing the sound, Boss turned around. At that moment, Kenneth and Spencer walked in together.

Seeing the situation, Boss narrowed his eyes. Then, he turned to the person behind him and said, "Bella, don't worry, I will take you away from here!"

"I told you I'm not your sister!" Thalia struggled.

However, Boss was completely deaf to it.

At that moment, Spencer spoke up. "Boss, didn't you hear what she said? Or do you have some kind of special fetish for targeting other people's girlfriends?" Hearing that, Boss narrowed his eyes. "She is my sister!"

"Your sister?" Spencer scoffed. "When I met her, she was just a teenager. I know where she's from, where she grew up better than anyone else. How did she suddenly become your sister?"

Hearing that, Boss turned to look at Thalia, then, as if in disbelief, he turned his gaze back to Spencer. "My sister was only a few years old when she disappeared. Even if you knew her when she was in her teens, so what? People change over the years. No matter where you met her, it wouldn't be surprising!"

No matter what others said at that moment, Boss had made up his mind.

Listening to their chatter, Thalia was growing impatient. All this talk, just because of this face. Now that its purpose has been served, there's no need for me to wear this mask anymore.

'Would you still consider me your sister if I were like this?' she asked, slowly peeling off the mask from her face.

After she tore it off, Boss looked at her, completely stunned.

Thalia looked at him, her gaze cold and clear. "Can we make it clear now? I am not your sister!"

She could kill, but she never played with emotions.

For her, it was disgraceful.

"No!" Boss shook his head. "No, it can't be, it's not like that..." he muttered, "You must be lying to me!"

"I did deceive you. That's true. But before this, I genuinely didn't know what this face meant to you. For that, I sincerely owe you an apology!" However, Boss simply wouldn't listen. He glared at her and suddenly shouted, "You're lying to me! Put your mask back on, put it back on!" Seeing him about to lose his cool, at that moment, Spencer stepped forward and grabbed him.

"Don't touch her!" Spencer emphasized each word.

However, there was a certain twisted and perverse look in Boss' eyes. He was laughing uproariously as if he had gone mad.

At that moment, Kenneth looked at them. "Spencer, take Thalia and leave. This is a personal grudge between him and me!" "You could use some help-"

"No need!" Kenneth interrupted directly, his gaze fixed on Boss. Now, he just wanted to deal with the latter in person. Spencer's gaze swept over him and then he nodded. "All right!"

With that, no more words were exchanged. Supporting Thalia, they began to walk toward the outside. "Let's go."

Thalia nodded, then followed Spencer out.

At that moment, Kenneth's gaze shifted to the person who had entered with Boss. "Do you plan to stay here and die, or would you rather leave?"

The man looked at Kenneth with fear, hesitated for a while, and finally, without another word, he walked toward the outside.

"Close the door!" Kenneth said in a low voice.

The door was shut from the outside.
