Chapter 154


    Chapter 154 His Mood Lifted


    “Yes.” Keh’s reply was curt.


    Thea narrowed her eyes. “Why? Keh, 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 myst mercy for you after all you did for thepany.


    If you agree to leave Glenport City, I’ll pretend nothing ever happened,” Keh responded.


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


    Keh’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.”


    Keh 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!” Keh 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. cing 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, Keh 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 Keh’s lips. He was about to say something when a familiar figure walked


    past the lobby.


    He narrowed his eyes at once.


    “Keh, I’ve loved you and kept youpany over the years. However, you ignored my feelings. I


    can’t believe you used 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.


    Keh 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, Keh, 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.


    d in her knee-length ck 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 Keh pulled her to him. “It’s me,


    Natasha.”


    Natasha looked up and frowned at the sight of him.


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


    Natasha gave him the once-over. “I should be the one asking the question.”


    Keh 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.


    Why do I need to tell him the reason I came here?


    She gazed at him and responded, “What do you think?”


    Instead of flying into a rage, Keh shed a grin. “Did you follow me here?”


    Natasha looked down and chuckled lightly. “Your narcissism caused your imagination to go wild, huh?”


    Keh knew that wasn’t why she was here, but his mood lifted when he saw her here.


    Noticing her expression, he frowned. “You look pale. What happened? Do you feel unwell?”


    Natasha turned away. “I’m fine.”


    Suddenly, Keh held her chin and forced her to meet his gaze.


    “What exactly happened?” Keh remained insistent.


    It was obvious he wouldn’t give up if she refused to reveal anything.


    Natasha’s brows knitted together as she made up an excuse on the spot. “Nothing. I was in pain after


    pulling my wound.”


    Keh gazed at her thoughtfully. He didn’t remember touching her wound. A worried look appeared in


    his eyes as he questioned, “Why did you leave the hospital if you haven’t recovered? I’ll bring you back


    to the hospital.”


    “No.” Natasha struggled out of his hands.


    Keh looked back at her as his gaze darkened.


    “I’ll just get some rest at home,” Natasha told him.


    “Did you leave the hospital because you didn’t want to see me?” Keh asked abruptly.


    Natasha frowned and wanted to avoid his stare. Strangely, she found his stare abnormally scorching


    today.


    “My decision has nothing to do with you,” she responded coolly.


    “Then why did you leave the hospital without saying anything? You didn’t even answer my calls,”


    Keh pressed on.


    “I didn’t hear my phone ringing.”


    “Stop making excuses!” Keh snapped.


    You know I’m making excuses, but you exposed me anyway. Why bother?


    Natasha did not know what to say.


    Right then, Keh inched nearer. “I heard that it was Zachary who gave you a ride from the hospital?”


    Natasha bobbed her head. “He visited me and gave me a ride home.”


    “I also heard that he’s going to visit you every day at home to change your dressing?”


    Natasha gazed at him. “Why do you know everything? Did Denise tell you about it?”


    “That isn’t important,” Keh said hastily.


    Natasha’s face might be pretty, but there was a frosty air about her that made her unapproachable to


    others.


    “Do you love him?” Keh blurted out.


    He was pretty confident that Natasha wouldn’t end up with Zachary because of thetter’s background.


    However, he wasn’t sure of himself right now. He was afraid that Natasha would fall in love with


    Zachary.


    If that were to happen, he would go crazy.
