Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 1039

As they were walking back, Anthony sent a message to Dave.

He sent him the account that Magus gave him and before long, he received a call.

Upon noticing the caller was Dave, Anthony turned to Benjamin and Denise. “You guys go in first. I need to take this call.”

After exchanging glances for a moment, they walked away without saying much.

At that moment, Anthony, holding his cell phone, walked to a spot and answered directly, “Hello.”

“What's wrong? Why did you ask that?” Dave inquired directly on the other end of the phone.

Anthony lowered his gaze. “While I was investigating my father's affairs, that person took the initiative and came up to me to ask what was going on. So, I need to know if he's one of you,” Anthony said.

Dave responded right away, “Nope.”

“All right. Got it.” Anthony nodded.

“Are you still investigating that matter?” Dave asked.

Anthony came clean. “Yes.”

“Anthony, I know it's unrealistic to tell you not to interfere in this matter, but this really isn't something you can resolve,” Dave uttered in a low voice.

At that moment, Anthony suddenly remembered that he had not yet shared the information he had found.

“Mr. Dave, I haven't had the chance to tell you that I've found evidence proving Dad's innocence,” Anthony said.

Taken aback, Dave asked, “What did you say?”

“At the time of the incident, they did witness their father committing the murder with their own eyes. However, they were in shock and couldn't accept it, standing frozen on the spot. It was Kyle who chased after him, shooting and injuring the man,” he explained.

Hearing that, Dave continued asking, “And?”

Anthony continued, “I came back to examine my father's injuries, and, contrary to what Kyle said, there was no wound in that location on his body.”

“So...”

“So, it wasn't our father who did this,” Anthony emphasized.

At that moment, Dave was stunned, as he had never expected such a revelation.

“Why would they think it's your father if it's not him?” Dave asked.

“This leads us to another issue,” Anthony answered. “Mr. Dave, are you familiar with the art of disguise?”

“I've heard a bit about it,” Dave said, then suddenly remembered something. “The person you brought back earlier—is he related to this?”

“Yes,” Anthony responded immediately. “I didn't believe it before, but after seeing Magus' skills, I realized it's indeed possible to pass off a fake as genuine. So, I believe that someone must have impersonated Dad to kill Holden's girlfriend,” Anthony deduced.

Silence fell on the other end of the phone.

“Mr. Dave, remember the account I asked you about earlier? The person I sent Magus to investigate came forward to approach me. So, he's either a friend or a foe. If it's not you, then we can basically figure out what's going on.”

Hearing his words, Dave gradually collected his thoughts. “Have you ever considered why that person would do such a thing? What his purpose might be?”

“Yes, I did,” Anthony replied solemnly, “Like what Benjamin had said earlier, if my speculation is correct, there should be a bigger conspiracy behind this. But we'll have to wait until we investigate to get to the bottom of this matter.”

Dave also seemed to have grown wary. “I'll get someone to look into the account matter right now.”

“I'll do it myself,” Anthony said.

After some thought, Dave spoke up. “All right then. Feel free to tell me if there's anything you need help with.”

“I will.”

“By the way, does Kyle know about this?” Dave asked directly.

Anthony responded, “Yes, I told him about it. But I haven't said anything to Holden. I'll tell him the truth once we've gathered all the evidence.”

“What did Kyle say?” Dave asked.

Anthony replied, “He didn't say much, but I could feel it. No one wants to make enemies for themselves. If it weren't for this matter, perhaps you wouldn't have ended up where you are now.”
