You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 1018 Something Is Not Right

Anthony had always been a deep thinker.

Kyle knew that if Anthony didn't want to speak, no amount of questioning would make him. Hence, Kyle wanted to trick Anthony into revealing it willingly.

When Anthony didn't speak, he didn't ask either. He just ate his food leisurely, appearing as if he was casually chatting.

Anthony stared at Kyle for a moment before asking, “Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?”

Kyle flashed a smile. “What's the use of listening to your lies?”

“But I'm worried that even if I tell the truth, you won't believe me,” Anthony said.

Kyle raised an eyebrow. “Let's hear it then.”

“I suspect that my daddy didn't kill Holden's girlfriend,” Anthony said.

When he brought up that topic, Kyle paused in the middle of eating.

Benjamin, who had been silent on the side, also lifted his gaze to look at Anthony.

Benjamin stared at Anthony intently for a good ten seconds. Once he was certain that Anthony wasn't spouting nonsense, he frowned and asked, “Tony, why do you say that?”

Kyle also looked at Anthony, his eyebrows furrowed.

“Do you believe it?” Anthony asked Kyle, looking at him.

“Do you think I should believe it?” Kyle retorted.

“I know you don't believe me, and I indeed don't have any evidence right now. That's why I want to understand what happened back then,” Anthony said to him, emphasizing each word.

“Anthony, I know you want to resolve this issue, but it's a fact that's as certain as a nail hammered into a board. I advise you not to waste your energy,” Kyle said.

“I know you don't believe me, so I didn't plan on telling you. I'll investigate this matter myself until I can present the evidence,” Anthony responded.

Kyle's eyebrows furrowed again when he heard that. Anthony is a tenacious person who stubbornly insists on his ideals. If not stopped, he might really keep going until the end.

With that in mind, Kyle looked at Anthony and said, “If you have such doubts, there must be a basis for them. What's your basis?”

“If I tell you, you'll only believe me less,” Anthony said.

“Go ahead and tell me. Whether I believe it or not is my business,” Kyle casually said. He was indeed curious about what exactly had led Anthony to such thoughts and considerations.

Anthony pursed his lips, looked at Kyle, and said, “There's something I need to confirm with you.”

“Go on.”

“How were you so certain back then that it was my daddy who killed the person?” Anthony asked.

“Well, I saw it with my own eyes,” Kyle replied.

Anthony knitted his brows. “With your own eyes? Really?”

“What? Do you not believe me? Do you think I'm saying this just to frame your daddy?” Kyle asked.

“No. I believe you wouldn't lie to me,” Anthony said, looking at him with complete trust.

Upon hearing that, Kyle uttered, “To be honest, after all these years of battling DX Group, neither of us has gained any advantage. If this incident hadn't occurred, I would have been more inclined to turn them into clients, or even allies... But such is the cruel irony of reality.”

Upon hearing that, Anthony naturally understood that Kyle would not lie about the matter. Well, he's not lying. Mr. Dave also wouldn't lie. Even when there should be a problem, but I just can't find it, then there must definitely be something wrong with this matter.

Seeing that Anthony was keeping mum, Kyle said, “Isn't it time for you to clear up my confusion?”

Anthony lifted his gaze, his dark eyes looking at Kyle, and then he slowly said, “After leaving here that day, I went back and had a chat with Mr. Dave. I asked him about the past. Mr. Dave didn't deny killing Holden's girlfriend, but his only evidence was the bullet in Holden's girlfriend's body, which was specially made by my daddy.”

Kyle nodded. “That's right. The bullet is indeed one of the pieces of evidence.”

“But the issue is that Mr. Dave only mentioned that it could be a case of accidental killing.”

“Accidental? Bullsh*t!” Kyle retorted. “When we arrived, we saw with our own eyes that Kenneth was holding a gun that killed Holden's girlfriend.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“And what happened after you saw it?”

“At that moment, I was completely taken aback. Holden held his girlfriend in his arms, unable to snap back to reality for quite some time. I was the one who chased after him, but when I did, Kenneth ran off without even looking back,” Kyle answered.

What Kyle said was almost identical to Thalia's account.

However, after having heard all the testimonies, not only did Anthony not believe them, but he felt more and more that things were not as simple as they seemed.

Looking up, he gazed at Kyle, who was flustered and exasperated. In a low voice, he said, “Let's get something straight first. Based on your understanding of my daddy, do you think he's the type to kill someone and then run away?”

“Why not? Didn't that time clearly prove it?” Kyle retorted.

Anthony looked at him, momentarily at a loss for words. Indeed, after harboring hatred for so many years, they must certainly hold some sort of prejudice against Daddy. It's impossible for them to view this matter from a fair perspective.

After a moment of contemplation, Anthony looked at Kyle and said, “I know that no matter what I say, you've already believed in the facts you've established. But based on my understanding of my daddy, even if he was seen by you, he wouldn't flee in a panic. Even if he couldn't beat you and ran away, if you all saw him with your own eyes, then what is there to deny?”

Kyle listened, his expression stern, a hint of anger swirling in the depths of his dark eyes.

“If he knew you would pin the death on him no matter what, what's the point of denying it?” Anthony asked.

“He denies it for reasons unknown to me, but what I've seen is just as it is.” Kyle's gaze turned cold.

“On the following day, I confirmed the matter again with Mr. Dave. He assured me with absolute certainty that they didn't know Holden's girlfriend at all. If there was any involvement, it was purely accidental, nothing more,” Anthony said.

“So, do you believe him?” Kyle asked, looking at Anthony.

“Yes, I believe so.” Anthony slowly lifted his eyes, his piercing gaze fixed on him, his tone resolute.

Kyle looked at him, his eyes deep and mysterious.

“This matter concerns my daddy. Mr. Dave has no reason to lie to me, and moreover, he has no motive to deceive me,” Anthony said, looking at him with a resolute gaze. “I trust Mr. Dave.”

Kyle wasn't pleased when he asked, “So, are you saying you don't trust us anymore?”

“I trust Mr. Dave just as I trust you all,” Anthony said. “As you've mentioned, no one wants to make an enemy, especially one on the same level as themselves. What good does it do to struggle against each other?”

“Since you understand this principle, you know I wouldn't frame Kenneth. The issue here isn't about you believing him and us at the same time. The two sides inherently conflict and contradict each other. We cannot coexist,” Kyle said very calmly.

“Yes. There are conflicts and contradictions in this matter... But isn't it precisely because of this that there are more issues?” Anthony asked.

Kyle wanted to say something else, but upon seeing the look in Anthony's eyes, he suddenly stopped. His expression is resolute, and his gaze is just as determined.

Kyle's brows furrowed slightly as he stared at Anthony. After a moment, it seemed as though he gradually noticed something was amiss.
