Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 871

Anthony hesitated for a moment and looked at her as he corrected, “I think calling it 'deliberate' isn't quite appropriate-”

Thalia had a sudden outburst and almost slammed the table. “I'm already polite enough by not pointing out how you're taking advantage of us! Anthony, do you really think I will believe your vague explanation?”

Anthony was stunned and looked at the angry Thalia. After a while, he blinked his innocent eyes and said softly, “I was showing you guys some respect. Understandably, Benjamin and Denise were used because they lacked experience or didn't guard against me, their elder brother. But you're Darknetz Ace. Isn't it more embarrassing if somebody finds out that you were manipulated by a child?”

These words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

Thalia glared at Anthony, her eyes blazing with anger. Even at a time like this, he was still playing with words.

As she stared at him, her fists were clenched tightly and made cracking sounds. She sneered, “Yeah, you're right. If people find out that I, Thalia, was manipulated by a kid, I'll be d*mned. In that case, I have no choice but to silence you to protect myself!”

When Thalia reached for him, Anthony immediately shouted, “Miguel, save me!”

Almost instinctively, Miguel reached out and shielded Anthony behind his arm safely.

Thalia looked him in the eye and asked, “What is it? Are you willing to die for him?”

“I...” Looking at her, Miguel did not know what to say, but after a moment of hesitation, he blurted out, “He's my master. I can't just stand by and do nothing!”

Thalia chuckled lightly. “Can you beat me?”

“No,” he replied.

“Are you here to court your own death?”

“I don't want to die either!”

“Then get lost!”

After careful consideration, Miguel put his arm down. “Okay!”

The result had Anthony's eyes widened in disbelief, and he stared at Miguel. “Are you really going to just abandon your master like this?”

“Master, don't worry. In my lifetime, I will avenge you. Even when I'm a hundred years old, I will never let her off the hook!” Miguel swore.

Pfft! Nobody can wait until then!

Before Anthony could even say anything, Thalia's hand reached out directly. Now, it was too late for him to escape.

Just as Anthony was thinking about how to beg for mercy, his phone suddenly rang.

Regardless of who was the caller, Anthony would praise them as his life savior.

When he checked the phone and saw that it was a call from Kenneth, Anthony turned to Thalia and said, “It's Daddy. I need to take this call!” With that, he stood up and walked to the side with his phone.

Thalia was genuinely angry, but she also knew that every phone call now was crucial.

Therefore, the anger she failed to vent out was stuck in her throat. Thalia stared at Anthony's retreating figure and could not help but say, “He's just like Kenneth - always scheming against others!”

On the side, Benjamin and Denise heard it clearly.

If she was talking about Anthony, why bring up Kenneth too?

Just as Denise was about to speak up for her father, Benjamin grabbed her sleeve and shook his head at her.

Denise widened her eyes as she looked at him, and the two communicated through their gazes. She asked: It's about Anthony. What does it have to do with Daddy?

Benjamin continued to shake his head and replied: It's just a couple of words; it won't hurt anyone. Their discord has been going on for quite some time now. If Daddy doesn't mind, why do you have to go out of your way to meddle?

Denise had a realization and said: That makes sense.

Benjamin signaled: So, stay calm!

Denise took a deep breath, gradually calming down and regaining her composure.

Anthony stepped aside and answered the phone. “Hi, Daddy!”

“How's the progress going?” Kenneth asked.

“It's hard to say, but we'll have the results in a day or two!” Anthony answered.

There was a brief pause on the other end of the phone, and Anthony sensed something, so he immediately asked, “Is there something wrong, Daddy?”

Kenneth replied, “It's nothing. I'm just wondering when you guys will be back.”
