You're Out Daddy

Chapter 398

Chapter 398

Benjamin knew very well that he would have to make things up in order to not reveal Natasha's identity. However, Thalia hated it when people lied to her. Although she had mentioned countless times that she wouldn't blame them, Benjamin still refused to get involved in such a troublesome matter.

Thus, Benjamin shifted his gaze from Anthony to Thalia. “Tony, I think Thalia is like family to us. She has gone through a lot with us, and you still don't trust her? Don't try to hide it from her anymore. Just tell her!”

As soon as Benjamin finished his sentence, Anthony looked at him in shock.

Thalia also lifted her head and stared at Anthony.

Benjamin was clearly implying that Anthony had used Thalia and still didn't trust her.

“You...” Anthony looked at Benjamin and was momentarily at a loss for words.

“What's wrong? Isn't that the truth?” Benjamin asked. His expression was innocent, but the look in his eyes was full of complacency and provocation.

Anthony had sabotaged Benjamin a lot of times over the years. It was also Benjamin's fault that he trusted his brother too much. However, things were different now. Benjamin wouldn't necessarily jump into the trap that his big brother set up for him.

Thalia looked at Anthony and narrowed her eyes. “So that's how it is, huh?”

Anthony turned and stared at Thalia with horror. “No, that's not true!”

“Then, what does Benjamin mean?” she asked.

“He misunderstood. I definitely don't mean it that way!”

“Misunderstanding?” she sneered.

“I'm telling the truth, I swear! I have unconditional trust in you!” he said.

“Do you think that I believe you?” she asked.

“Erm... You are so smart, beautiful, and wise, so you will definitely believe me!” replied Anthony.

“Do you think that I'll believe you after you flattered me?” asked Thalia.

Anthony put on a smile. “Of course not. How can a wise person like you believe me just because I said something nice? You have a brain and you will definitely be able to tell what's true!”

He is certainly good at smooth talking his way out of trouble!

In fact, Thalia knew that Benjamin said that on purpose to do his brother dirty. She was just taking the opportunity to frighten Anthony, and now that she had succeeded in doing so, there was nothing more she could say.

“Stop flattering me! If you really do trust me, tell me the truth!” said Thalia.

Anthony instantly put on an ingratiating smile when he saw that Thalia wasn't angry. “Of course, I will tell you even if you didn't ask me to!”

Thalia merely glanced at him wordlessly, and he heaved a sigh of relief. Subsequently, he stared daggers at Benjamin, who arched an eyebrow nonchalantly.

Anthony knew that his top priority was to appease Thalia, and he must not lie when he was telling her. Otherwise, Thalia would get mad when she found out in the future.

He began, “I haven't mentioned this before because it has something to do with Nat's privacy and past trauma!”

Thalia furrowed her brows while looking at him.

“Nat is here for the sake of my granddad.”

“Your granddad?”

“Which is Nat's father.”

“Of course, I know that he's Nat's father. It's just that you've never mentioned that you have a maternal grandfather!”

“That's because he has passed away!” Anthony said.

Thalia was momentarily stunned. “Passed away?”

Anthony sighed. “Yeah!”

“If he has passed away, what is your mother doing here then?”

“Because my granddad didn't die of natural causes,” said Anthony.

Thalia went speechless. She had experienced a lot throughout all these years, and her sharp instincts told her that it was a complicated matter.

“Did your grandfather stay here?” Thalia asked.

“Maybe. I'm not too sure. I only heard a little bit about my granddad from my Great-grandpa. Nat didn't tell me much about my granddad, and neither did she say anything when she came here this time. I only found out by accident. Otherwise, I wouldn't have secretly followed her here,” said Anthony.

Thalia nodded as she listened. “I see. Did Nat come here to find out the truth about your grandfather's death?”

“I suppose so!”

“Did she receive some intel?”

Anthony thought for a while and asked, “Do you remember the time when we had a birthday party?”

As that topic was brought up, Thalia remembered how she met Spencer last time. She subconsciously lowered her head and said, “Yes I do. Why?”

“You already left back then, so you might not be aware. Nat ran into a group of people at the entrance of the hotel, and they had tattoos that were similar to Granddad's. So, Nat went over to them.”

“What a coincidence!” said Thalia.
