Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 154

“Yes.” Kenneth's reply was curt.

Thea narrowed her eyes. “Why? Kenneth, I've worked alongside you for years. I should be acknowledged for my efforts. Are you asking me to leave because I'm of no use to you anymore? I've resigned from my post. Why are you doing this to me?”

“You know well why I'm doing this. Thea, this is my last mercy for you after all you did for the company. If you agree to leave Glenport City, I'll pretend nothing ever happened,” Kenneth responded.

Thea laughed icily. “I don't understand what you're talking about. No way I'll leave the city!”

Kenneth's gaze grew solemn. “Do you seriously think no one knows what you did?”

Thea stiffened and stared at him incredulously. After a long silence, she insisted, “I really don't know what you're talking about.”

Kenneth let out a cold snort as he pinned her with a withering gaze. “You don't know? You ordered Gary to target her and even helped him by sending the doctors away. Do you really think your scheme went unnoticed?” he asked in a low voice.

Flustered, Thea gazed at him wordlessly.

“Fortunately, Natasha managed to escape unscathed this time. If something happens to her, I will never spare your life!” Kenneth warned her menacingly.

Each and every word he uttered trampled on her heart viciously.

Her heart was broken into a million pieces.

Thea's fists balled up as she stared at him. Placing her reputation at stake, she asked, “Really? Do you have evidence to tie me to the incident?”

As she refused to admit to her mistake, Kenneth suddenly realized he had never known her real self all over the years.

“If you have evidence, then call the cops and tell them to arrest me,” Thea said slowly.

A cold chuckle escaped Kenneth's lips. He was about to say something when a familiar figure walked past the lobby.

He narrowed his eyes at once.

“Kenneth, I've loved you and kept you company over the years. However, you ignored my feelings. I can't believe you accused me of that just to make me leave! Do whatever you want, but I refuse to leave Glenport City!” Thea stated firmly. She wasn't about to give up on her innocent act.

There was no evidence, so she refused to admit to her mistake.

As long as she feigned ignorance, there would still be a chance for her.

Kenneth wasn't about to waste his time listening to Thea trying to weasel her way out of the matter. He turned and shot her a look. “I've said what I came for. Whether you choose to leave or not is up to you. From today onward, I won't spare your life if you dare to scheme against Natasha again!” With that said, he got to his feet and stalked away.

Thea parted her lips, but he walked away swiftly and didn't give her any chance to speak her mind.

Deep down, she vowed silently, Kenneth, I will never leave! No one can make me leave. I'll stay here and watch as you lose everything! By then, you'll find out who loves you the most.

Clad in her knee-length black coat, Natasha was striding ahead purposefully. Her bare calves were exposed, and she looked like a celebrity with her long, wavy hair.

Everyone in the hotel couldn't help but turn to look at her.

At the door, she was stopped by a hand that grabbed her arm.

Halting in her tracks, Natasha was about to struggle when Kenneth pulled her to him.

“It's me, Natasha.”

Natasha looked up and frowned at the sight of him.

“Why are you here?” Kenneth had visibly brightened up.

Natasha gave him the once-over. “I should

be the one asking the question.”

Kenneth noticed people were staring at them, especially since Natasha was breathtakingly beautiful. He promptly dragged her to a secluded corner and pinned her to the wall. “I came here for a negotiation. What about you?”

“I came here to...” Natasha trailed off when she realized she was about to fall for his trap.
