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

Chapter 1049 Not The Only Child

A near distance away, Dave looked on, his brows creased deeply.

He glanced back over his shoulder at Natasha, only to see that she had her gaze fixed intently on Anthony and her fists clenched tightly.

He knew that they were taking a chance.

But in his vocabulary, that word had never existed.

He quietly raised the gun and aimed it at Holden.

If the latter dared to act recklessly, he would certainly not show him any mercy.

Holden looked at Anthony, his gaze dark and indecipherable. The gun he held in hand was unwavering, a picture of absolute resolve.

At that moment, everyone held their breaths.

Just then, two figures sprinted out at breakneck speed.

“Count me in!”

“And me!”

Benjamin and Denise came out, running quickly to stood right beside Anthony.

Upon seeing them, everyone was slightly taken aback.

Meanwhile, Anthony swung his gaze at them. “Who told you both to come out? Get back in there quickly!”

Benjamin looked at him. “You're not Daddy's only child, Tony. Why can't I step out for him?”

“Cut it—”

“Stop arguing. I'm Dad's favorite person, so only I have that privilege!” Denise interjected with a hint of melancholy in her voice.

Taking a deep breath, Anthony bore his eyes into them. “Go back in right now!”

However, the duo ignored him completely. They turned around and looked at Holden. “This was never just your matter. Either we leave together, or we'll bear it together!”

Anthony stared at them, his brows furrowed deeply.

Right then, Holden also had his eyes on them.

Anthony was already enough trouble for him, yet two more children had shown up.

He knew full well that the matter had nothing to do with them. All he wanted was to kill Kenneth, but they simply wouldn't give him the chance to do so.

“Holden, I truly regret what happened to you. But I need to tell you that we've verified that it wasn't my daddy who killed your girlfriend. I hope you can calm down,” Denise said morosely while looking up at him.

“Verified it? How so?” Holden asked.

“Back then, Kyle claimed he shot my daddy. We examined his body, but there was no such wound at all. Therefore, the person who killed your girlfriend wasn't my daddy.”

Hearing that, Holden snorted. “A scar is enough to verify it? Do you know that there is a technology now that can remove scars?” he questioned.

“Daddy has countless scars on him, but not that particular one. If he really wanted to remove them, why didn't he get rid of the others as well?” Denise countered.

“Perhaps he wanted to escape from what's happening today?” Holden argued.

Denise looked at him, suddenly at a loss for words.

No matter what she said, Holden still didn't believe it.

At that moment, Benjamin, who was standing beside her, interjected, “Don't waste your breath, Denise. People are often reluctant to believe something they didn't see with their own eyes.”

Upon hearing that, Holden shifted his gaze to Benjamin. “Who said so? How about this? Bring Kenneth out. I want to see for myself. If he really doesn't bear the scar, perhaps I'll believe it.”

Despite his words, everyone could see the hatred blazing in his eyes. That utterance was nothing more than an excuse to lure them to bring Kenneth out.

Anthony eyed him. “I know you won't believe anything I say right now, Holden. How about this? Give me some time. I will find the evidence for you!”

“I can't wait any longer,” Holden stated. “I've waited and searched for him for so many years. Now that he has finally appeared, I won't let this opportunity slip away!”

At present, he was impervious to any persuasion. No matter what they said, he only believed what he witnessed. Hatred had blinded his eyes completely.

Seeing that he wouldn't listen to reason, Anthony looked at him. “If you insist... I'm sorry, but we can't hand him over.”

“So, you're forcing my hand?” Holden asked.

“If you believe it to be so, there's nothing we can say to persuade you otherwise.” Anthony stared right into his eyes.

“Great! Just great!” Holden nodded, his gaze fixed on them. “One was not enough, but two others of you came out. Do you think that I won't do anything to you by doing this? Since you all are determined to stand in for Kenneth, I will oblige you.”

While saying that, Holden raised his gun without taking his eyes off them.

The three of them remained standing there, none of them backing down an step.

Natasha, who stood nearby, looked as though she would snap any second. Her fists were tightly clenched, her nails digging into her flesh. She was in so much pain that she couldn't feel anything anymore.

Holden cocked the gun and first aimed it at Anthony, his hand unwavering.

A cold smile played on his lips. “Don't blame me for this, Anthony.”

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, Kyle stepped forward and struck him on the back of his neck. He collapsed immediately, and Kyle smoothly caught him as he fell.

At that moment, everyone was stunned.

That went doubly for Thalia. She stared at the scene blankly, at a complete loss.

She had already begun to envision the worst scenarios in her mind, but things had taken a turn then.

As she was lost in thought, Kyle looked at her and said, “Aren't you going to help?”

With that, Thalia snapped back to reality and promptly went over.

She was about to reach out to support Holden, but Spencer was a step ahead of her. “I'll do it instead.”

Thalia glanced at him but said nothing. She turned her gaze to Kyle. “Is this really fine, Boss?”

“It's already a done deal. Were we to wait until he had pulled the trigger, then regret our inaction?” Kyle retorted.

Thalia looked at Holden. “I'm worried about what he might do when he comes to.”

“We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. At the very least, things can't get any worse than they are now,” Kyle said.

Thalia took a deep breath and nodded.

“Carry him to the car and send him back first. I have something to say to them,” Kyle ordered. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Thalia nodded, then helped Spencer carry Holden into the car.

Kyle watched them leave before turning his gaze to the triplets. “You really pushed him to his limits today.”

Upon hearing that, Anthony replied, “I had no choice either. There was nothing I could do about it.”

Kyle pursed his lips, knowing all too well that Anthony, more than anyone else, didn't want the events that transpired that day to happen.

He pinned his gaze on him. “Plans can't keep up with changes, and no one expected this. But don't worry, after today, I will make things clear to him.”

“But he might not listen.”

“We'll see.” Kyle took the matter upon himself before looking at Anthony. “But to truly resolve this, we need to find the real culprit. Otherwise, he won't believe us solely on our words.”

“I understand.” Anthony nodded. “I will find the culprit as soon as possible, gather the evidence, and give him an explanation and resolution.”

Kyle dipped his head, then glanced at the time. “All right, it's about time. You all should be going now.”

“But what about you if we were to leave?” Anthony asked.

He knew that Holden would never let the matter go easily once the man woke up.

Kyle narrowed his eyes. “Don't worry. Since I took that measure, I've considered the consequences. You guys go first. The greater the distance in between, the more time you'll have. It's your window of opportunity to find out the truth. But I'm afraid it won't be too long.” Kyle said to him solemnly.
