Chapter 288
Chapter 288
Without waiting for her to say anything, Natasha picked Thea up and began walking out of the room.
Thea was officially terrified. At that moment, Natasha's gaze was as horrifying as a murderer's. She looked as if she wanted to kill Thea.
Thea squirmed and demanded, “What are you doing? Let me go! Let me go! Natasha, what are you trying to do?”
Alas, no matter what Thea said and how loud she shouted, Natasha ignored her as if she could not hear anything.
Thea looked utterly miserable, like a helpless, sacrificial lamb that was on its way for slaughter.
At that moment, Thea knew Natasha would not let her go, no matter what she did or said.
Just then, Thea spotted Zachary standing by the side. “Zachary, save me...
Zachary regarded them with a conflicted look. Although he did not know what had happened, based on their conversation, he was sure that Thea had done something to Denise, which infuriated Natasha.
Seeing the conflicted look on Zachary's face, Thea continued shouting, “Zachary, are you really going to ignore this? I helped you back then, remember? Are you just going to sit idly by? Do you think you can get away with this if something happens to me once I leave this place?” Zachary was her last hope.
Thea remembered Natasha taking down Gary in the hospital back then. She would basically be dead meat if she were in Gary's shoes.
Thea's words finally put some sense into Zachary's mind.
He went forward and stopped Natasha. “Nat, what's going on? Just tell me. Perhaps there's a better solution for this.”
Raising her head, Natasha stared at him coldly. “Are you helping her?”
Zachary stiffened, and he denied it, “I'm not helping her...” As he said that, he looked around the area. “There are surveillance cameras all over this place. How are you going to explain yourself if something actually happens to her after you take her away like that?” “This is my business!”
“Nat...” Zachary tried to stop her.
Suddenly, Natasha raised her voice and shot him a warning glare.
“Zachary! Don't make me your enemy.”
Zachary knitted his brows. He could sense that Natasha was really furious, and with her character, he knew she was the type who meant what she said.
Just as he was lost in thought, Natasha had already dragged Thea out of the room.
Never in Thea's wildest dreams had she imagined that Natasha's words could change Zachary's mind just like that.
“Zachary... are you really not going to help me? Don't you forget our plan.
Without me, you won't be able to carry it out. Zachary, are you even a
man? I'll be doomed if she takes me
I)) away!
Before leaving the room, Thea could still see the conflicted expression on Zachary's face. No matter what she said, Zachary remained rooted to his spot while looking at Natasha with a frown.
“Zachary...” Finally, Thea's voice faded from the room.
Right after Natasha left, Kenneth arrived.
When he saw the chaotic state outside the bar, he knew something must have happened inside.
Coincidentally, Zachary was exiting the private room, and he bumped into Kenneth on the way out.
The tension in the air was palpable. After all, they were both rivals.
Zachary narrowed his eyes. In the end, he suppressed his rage and walked off, pretending as if he did not see Kenneth.
However, Kenneth walked up to him and blocked his path. “Where's Natasha?”
Zachary said nothing as if he did not notice Kenneth. He wanted to walk away, but Kenneth stood in front of him and had no intentions of letting Zachary pass.
Flames of anger burned in Zachary's heart, and his gaze that was fixed on Kenneth was filled with hatred. “Look around carefully, Kenneth. This is not a place where you can act however you want.”
Upon hearing that, Kenneth scoffed, “What now? Do you want me to destroy your territory again?”
“Give it a go, then!” Zachary growled. The look in his eyes turned as cold as ice.
Suddenly, both of them were staring each other down.
If Kenneth was not in a rush to look for Natasha, he would have taught Zachary a lesson on the spot.
Nonetheless, he knew looking for Natasha was his priority at that moment.
Kenneth took a step forward and said fiercely, “Zachary, I don't know how you got involved with Thea, but she has gone too far this time. She attacked Denise. This is something neither Natasha nor I will forgive her for. Do you know what it means for Natasha to take Thea away before I can take action?”
Upon hearing that, Zachary narrowed
his eyes.
“If you're wise enough, you will tell me where they've gone. Won't you achieve your goals faster if I take action myself?” Kenneth suggested.
Zachary looked at him again.
He was intrigued by Kenneth's words.
If Kenneth really attacks Thea, then he'll be dealt with without me having to do anything. This is the quickest way to take revenge. Besides, once Kenneth disappears, Natasha will be mine.
At that thought, Zachary looked at him calmly and said sarcastically, “Oh, really? If that's the case, I should seize this opportunity, right?”
“This is your only chance to bring me down,” Kenneth said each word sternly.
Zachary's eyes narrowed again.
It was undeniable that Kenneth's arrogance made Zachary feel uncomfortable.
However, he figured Kenneth would disappear faster if he actually did what he said.
With that thought in mind, Zachary kept his anger in check and said, “Sure, I can tell you that, but you'd better not disappoint me.” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“The person who's capable of making others disappointed is you, not me,” Kenneth refuted.
Knowing Kenneth was taunting him, Zachary stared at him frostily and ignored it. He turned around and called out to the person behind him, who understood his intention and returned to the building.
Kenneth and Zachary continued staring at each other. The expression on both their handsome faces showed how much they loathed each other.
It did not take long for the subordinate to return and whisper something into Zachary's ear.
Zachary shifted his gaze back to Kenneth. “Nat did come over just now, and she did take Thea away.”
Kenneth narrowed his eyes, and Natasha's words replayed in his mind.
She 'll never forgive the person who harmed Denise.
He was truly worried that Natasha might do something crazy.
At that thought, Kenneth glanced at Zachary and asked nervously, “Where are they?”
Zachary took the note from his subordinate and opened it slowly. “This is the car they left in. I'm sure you'll be able to find them soon.”
Kenneth's eyes darted from the note to Zachary. He doesn't look like he's lying. He shot Zachary a warning look before leaving.
