Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 1004

Anthony took a long time to digest the information.

A moment later, looking at Dave, Anthony said softly, “Mr. Dave, I understand now. It's getting late. I should go back and rest.”

Fearing that Anthony might overthink, Dave looked at him and advised, “Anthony, even though this matter doesn't directly involve you, you must understand that your relationship with your father means you can't escape unscathed. But no matter what the outcome is, the one who will truly be troubled is you. So, you must be mentally prepared.”

Anthony looked at him and nodded. “Ever since I found out about the grudge between my daddy and Holden, I've been prepared for this. Don't worry, Mr. Dave.”

Dave nodded. “All right. As long as you understand that. It's getting late. You should go back and rest.”

Anthony stood up to leave, and just as he opened the door, something occurred to him. He turned back to look at Dave. “Mr. Dave, if Darknetz is willing to let go of all grudges one day, would you be willing to do the same?”

Dave looked at Anthony calmly and answered, “From the very beginning, we were not the ones who started the trouble. For all these years, they have been the ones making things difficult. We only retaliated. In this whole matter, we are the biggest victims. We have been enduring it all because we don't want to harm a life.”

“So?”

Dave took a deep breath. “But if it's because you're letting go, I have no problem with it.”

Anthony looked at him, his eyes filled with a hint of gratitude. “Thank you, Mr. Dave!”

“There's no need to thank me. You should understand that this matter, in itself, is somewhat unrealistic.”

“I know. I was just asking!” Anthony said.

“If you're willing, I can hand over the entire DX Group to you in the future. By then, won't you be the one calling the shots?” Dave queried.

“Goodnight, Mr. Dave!” Without responding, Anthony simply turned around and walked away.

Dave sat in the chair, watching his retreating figure, a helpless smile lifting his lips.

However, as the door closed, the smile on his face gradually stiffened. His gaze shifted to a picture frame on the table, which held a group photo of three people.

The look in Dave's eyes grew increasingly profound. “You two sure are having a good time, leaving all the mess for me...”

Meanwhile, after returning to his room, Anthony washed up briefly and went straight to bed.

However, he couldn't sleep because his mind was filled with the details of what Dave had just said.

Anthony ended up tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

After much thought, he lifted his gaze and saw a computer not far away. Without further ado, he got up and walked straight toward it.

As Dave had suggested, he first looked into the incident from that year. It was indeed quite sensational, and he was able to find some photos. However, most of them were of the damaged hotel. There were only a few photos from the scene, showing people hiding everywhere. Beyond that, he couldn't find anything else.

There were also some photos that couldn't be opened, and Anthony knew that someone had intentionally blocked them.

Looking at those photos, he furrowed his brows. For some reason, he had a strong feeling that this was too much of a coincidence. How did it happen that we're in the same hotel, and what are the odds of getting shot? Moreover, Holden's girlfriend wasn't an ordinary person. How could it be?

At that thought, Anthony suddenly realized something.

In the next moment, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

A moment later, the phone was answered. “Hello?”

“Thalia, I want to ask you something—”

“Can't this wait until tomorrow? Do you even know what time it is now?” Thalia grumbled.

Anthony glanced up at the time. It was already four in the morning. “Have you gone to sleep?”

“I just fell asleep.”

“But it's really urgent!”

“Fine! Speak!” Thalia sounded helpless.

“Was Holden's girlfriend also involved in Darknetz?” Anthony asked.

“Yes!”

“Was she also very impressive?”

“She was not too shabby. His girlfriend mainly worked in intelligence. She was quite impressive!” Thalia said.
