You're Out Daddy

Chapter 310

Thea, watching his leaving silhouette, felt a chill down her spine.

“Kenneth, stop!” Thea screamed all of a sudden, her voice filled with indignant rage.

“At the end of the day, what does she have that I don't? Why do you have to treat me this way? I'm the one who loves you the most, while she doesn't even care about you, let alone love you!” Thea bellowed in tears.

Upon hearing her words, Kenneth stopped in his tracks and turned around. “Whether she loves me or not isn't important. What really matters is that I love her! Also, don't you dare compare yourself to her. You're sullying her good name by doing that!”

Before giving her a chance to reply, Kenneth stormed out of the ward.

His leaving figure left her momentarily stunned, and she yelled, “You will regret this! You definitely will!”

Her piercing scream echoed through the room and could be clearly heard along the corridor outside.

Fabian, who was waiting by the door, walked up to Kenneth upon seeing the latter emerge from the ward. “Mr. Hamilton.”

“Let's go,” Kenneth instructed.

Fabian nodded before following closely behind him.

They had barely taken a few steps when they ran into Caroline on her way back.

At the sight of them, Caroline asked, “Mr. Hamilton, are you leaving already?”

As if he didn't see her, Kenneth walked past her without responding, leaving Caroline stunned.

Following his boss' example, Fabian snubbed Caroline by striding past her with his chest puffed and nose in the air.

Caroline, knitting her brows, watched them leave while a sense of dread began to swell within her.

She then returned to the ward with a solemn expression on her face.

Inside, Thea was pressing a dagger to her wrist.

Caroline screamed Thea's name the moment she saw the scene. No sooner had she spoken than she lunged forward and wrested the dagger out of Thea's hands.

“What are you doing?” Caroline shouted as she threw the dagger aside.

Closing her eyes, Thea simply responded with a pained look on her face.

“What did Kenneth say to you?” Caroline asked, but her question was met with silence.

“I assumed that he came to visit you because he misses you... Wait here, I'm going to talk to him right now!” The moment she finished, Caroline turned to leave.

“Don't go!” Thea stopped her.

Caroline turned around to look at her daughter. “But you were already going to—”

Thea's eyes opened gradually. “It has nothing to do with him!”

“How is it possible he's not connected—”

“Mom, can you stop with this?” Thea shrieked all of a sudden, leaving Caroline shaken.

She had never heard her daughter speak to her in such a tone before.

Nonetheless, taking into account Thea's unstable mental condition, Caroline had no choice but to bear with it. “Fine, Fine. I won't comment any further. You should just get some rest.”

Without another word, Thea lay back down in bed and hid underneath her blanket.

As her eyes closed, she felt tears streaming down her cheeks.

Meanwhile, Fabian asked Kenneth outside, “Mr. Hamilton, do you think Ms. Jarman will turn herself in?”

“It's no longer her choice,” Kenneth promptly replied.

“What if... she flees?” Fabian wondered out loud.

Kenneth swept a cold gaze over to him. “If that happens, you'll have to answer for it.”

Fabian froze as he was opening the car door for Kenneth. “Mr. Hamilton, I...”

What has it got anything to do with me?

Paying no heed to Fabian, Kenneth got into the car.

After a brief hesitation, Fabian closed the door and circled over to the driver's seat. Looking at Kenneth with a sheepish smile, he remarked, “Mr. Hamilton, I'm sure you must have already made preparations for the eventuality that Ms. Jarman doesn't turn herself in.”

Kenneth looked at his phone in silence.

“Mr. Hamilton, do you really want to send her to prison?” Fabian reconfirmed in a concerned tone.

“Why? Do you think I've gone overboard?” Kenneth asked with a cocked brow.

Fabian shook his head at once. “No, she deserves to be punished for what she has done. It's just that if the matter goes public, it will spark another controversy. After all, Ms. Jarman has always declared herself to be your fiancée in public. Those who are unaware of the truth will definitely start unfounded rumors which will consequently affect the company's reputation,” Fabian explained.

“So?” Kenneth retorted.

“Erm, I'm just worried—”

“It's good that you're concerned. Therefore, you had better prepare for the fallout to avoid being caught with your pants down then,” Kenneth asserted.

Fabian was rendered speechless.

Evidently, he doesn't seem to be concerned about it. After all, this isn't the first time he has thrown in the kitchen sink in order to save a damsel in distress. Even if he has to lose some money, it's not going to bother him at all.

With that thought in mind, Fabian felt like slapping himself for speaking unnecessarily.

After glancing at Kenneth through the rearview mirror, he started the car engine in resignation.

“Mr. Hamilton, where are we going?”

Kenneth checked the time before replying, “Prosper Technologies.”
