Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth)
Chapter 981 On the Verge Of Losing It

This was the first time Spencer had spoken so much to her.

In Thalia's heart, there was satisfaction, but also a slight sense of unreality.

Hence, she looked at Spencer, and asked uncertainly, "Are you really serious?"

Seeing her like this, Spencer asked her in return, "Was I not clear enough? No, I will never leave you again!"

"Well, you're the one who said this!"

"I swear to the heavens..."

Just as he was about to say something, Thalia reached out and covered his mouth. "No need. I don't need you to say any cursed words to prove your love for me... Just show me in the future."

Spencer was looking at her, just about to lean in for a kiss, when Thalia abruptly pulled back.

Upon seeing the situation, a slight frown formed on Spencer's face.

However, Thalia was looking at a figure not far away. "There's a child over there."

Spencer glanced back in Anthony's direction, then pulled her into his arms. "He's on the phone, so he won't be looking this way."

Seeing him about to approach again, Thalia retreated a bit with a smile. "That won't do either."

Spencer looked on, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. "I don't even have the right to kiss my girlfriend?"

Thalia pondered for a moment, then swiftly leaned in to give Spencer a kiss. "Here's a reward for now," she said, "the rest will come later."

Seeing her acting all clever and mischievous, Spencer finally chuckled. "I'll let you off this time."

Thalia looked at him, then reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing herself against his chest. She listened to the powerful beating of his heart, and felt an indescribable calmness deep within her.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Anthony held his phone, silently listening to the torrent of abuse coming from Kyle on the other end of the line.

Only when Kyle had vented enough, he asked, "Why aren't you speaking?"

Finally, Anthony spoke up, "Are you done scolding?"

Kyle was taken aback for a moment, then he said, "Can you give me an explanation now?"

"First off, I want to know if I am I not qualified to operate the unmanned aircraft device?" Anthony asked.

Kyle originally thought he would explain, but unexpectedly, he started with such a counter-question, which left him at a loss. "It's not that..."

"When we first entered Darknetz, you said that we were equals. If that's the case, why can't I operate it?" Anthony asked. "Well... I'm not saying you can't, but shouldn't you at least give me a heads up? We should at least discuss it, right?"

"It's urgent, so I don't have extra time to negotiate."

"You-"

"I admit that I took it upon myself to make that decision. So, I will accept whatever you want to do now, and the punishment," Anthony said directly, without any hint of resistance or attempt to argue. Kyle was left speechless.

He was truly in a hurry, and his worry was indeed genuine.

But I really never thought about punishment.

Originally, he came to confront him. Somehow, he was made to look like the one causing a scene for no reason with just a few words from Anthony.

His brows furrowed. "At the very least, shouldn't you give me an explanation? What did you use it for?"

"Save a life."

"Whose life?"

Anthony pursed his lips, "That's about all I can say. As for the rest, it's really not convenient for me to speak."

Upon hearing the sound, Kyle couldn't help but hiss, then said, "Anthony Watson, just because I wasn't there doesn't mean I'm a fool. Today, news of Vermillion Base being destroyed is everywhere, and the unmanned aircrafts headed exactly there. Don't you really have nothing to say?"

Anthony wasn't surprised that he knew. On the contrary, it would be strange if he didn't know about it.

However, if he knew, then what he knew certainly wouldn't be just that.

With these thoughts in mind, he pursed his lips and remained silent.

"Well, don't you have anything to say?"

"No!"

Kyle was absolutely livid. "Yesterday, DX Group besieged Vermillion Base, and coincidentally, the unmanned aircraft also appeared there. Don't you think all of this is too much of a coincidence? Anthony Watson, don't you play dumb with me. I want an explanation."

"Why are you asking me if you already knew?" Anthony asked.

"What the hell do I know? All I know is that you were seen near Vermillion Base with the people from DX Group, and you teamed up with them to wipe that organization out. As for the rest, what could I possibly know? If you don't tell me, how am I supposed to know?" Kyle asked, clearly frustrated.

This Anthony is simply unyielding, impervious to persuasion. He is determined to keep his mouth shut no matter what I say or ask.

Kyle was completely out of options, so frustrated that he felt like cursing.

Anthony could also feel Kyle's helplessness and anger. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I've mentioned it before that I will definitely destroy Vermillion Base."

"Anthony, is this the key point?"

"How is this not the main point?" Anthony retorted.

Kyle was on the verge of being driven mad by him. Then, he took a deep breath. "Alright, let me ask this way, what's going on between you and DX Group? Why were you both there at the same time?" "Would you believe me if I said, it's a coincidence?"

"Do you think I would believe that?" Kyle retorted.

Anthony thought for a moment. "If you don't believe me, then there's nothing more for me to say!"

"Anthony Watson!"

One could hear the tension building on the other end of the line, then Anthony spoke up, "Kyle, I know you must have a lot of questions right now. I admit that it was my fault for activating the unmanned aircraft system without permission. I can't give you a reasonable explanation at the moment, but one day, I will tell you in person. Also, whatever decisions or punishments you have for me, I will respect them without any complaints."

At this point in the conversation, what else could Kyle say? He paused for a moment before asking, "Do you still think that I'm doing this to punish you?"

"Of course not. Otherwise you would have definitely come to kill me by now."

"Since you already know..."

"Kyle, just give me a little more time, and I promise I'll give you a reasonable explanation," Anthony murmured, holding his phone.

The conversation had reached this point, and Kyle knew that he couldn't ask anything out of Anthony.

But when Anthony spoke up to this point, he understood that there must be some difficulties he was dealing with.

With that thought, he said, "Alright, I won't ask too much, but I do have one question for you."

"What?"

"You're not from DX Group, are you?" Kyle asked.

Speaking of which, Anthony paused for a moment, then said, "No."

Upon hearing this, Kyle breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, I understand. I can give you time, but I hope you won't keep me waiting for too long."

"Okay."

"That's all."

And so, the call ended.

Anthony held his phone and looked at the disconnected call, then let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Finally, a major problem had been resolved.

Just then, Thalia came up from behind, "So, do you need me to speak for you?"

Anthony turned around, looked at Thalia, and handed her the phone directly. "No need, it's been taken care of."

Thalia's eyebrows furrowed. "Is it resolved?"

"We've temporarily resolved it," said Anthony.
