Chapter 677
Keh swiftly replied: Don''t watch dramas like these anymore.
Denise was still daydreaming. When she read Keh''s reply, she was stunned. She asked: Why?
Keh: Those are trash content and not suitable for you.
Denise: Daddy, how could you take away my right to enjoy them?
Keh: Just don''t watch them anymore.
Denise: Daddy, I will not stick my nose in your and Nat''s affair anymore.
Anthony and Benjamin refused toment on anything.
The group fell silent. Keh turned to look at Natasha once again. Her eyes were closed, and she
seemed to be taking a much-needed rest. Keh couldn''t help but notice her delicate features. Her
upturned nose and longshes entuated her beauty, while her fair skin and naturally pink lips gave
her an effortless charm that needed no makeup to enhance.
When his eyesnded on his clenched-up jaw, Keh''s thin lips pursed into a hard line. He knew well
that Natasha was easygoing with most matters, but she loathed people lying to her.
Keh knew he had to find a way to exin things to her.
It took them almost an hour''s drive before they finally reached their destination.
Natasha woke up when Keh stopped the car.
Just when he was about to say something, his phone suddenly rang. Keh had no choice but to pick
up the call.
“Hello. We''re here too. All right. Come over here.” After hanging up the call, Keh turned to look at
Natasha. “That was Spencer. He has arrived and is on his way here.”
Natasha nodded.
Keh couldn''t figure out whether she was mad from her nonchnt response.
He tried his luck and asked, “Nat, did you sleep well just now?”
“Quite well.”
“Then—”
Natasha turned to look at Anthony, who was sitting behind, and asked, “How are the arrangements?”
Keh could only eye Natasha, as he was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.
“Let me go first,” Anthony said.
“You alone?” Natasha asked.
Anthony nodded.
Natasha thought for a moment and said, “That works too.”
Just when Anthony was about to leave the car, Keh called out to him, “Anthony, wait.”
Anthony turned around to regard him.
Keh took something out and stuffed it into Anthony''s ears.

“What''s this?”
“Don''t worry. We''re not going to eavesdrop on your conversations. You can get in contact with us if
anythinges up. Just tap it once to turn it on or off. I''ll only be able to listen to you when it''s turned
on,” Keh exined.
Anthony nodded in response.
“Come on. Test it out.”
Anthony tapped on the device. “Hello, Daddy.”
It was crisp and clear on Keh''s end. He gave Anthony a thumbs up and said, “It''s all good.”
Anthony tapped on the device again, but Keh heard nothing this time.
“Great. It works,” Keh said.
Anthony nodded. “I''m going in, then.”
Spencer showed up when he was about to get out of the car.
Anthony was shocked when he noticed Spencer''s red eyes. Thetter looked as if he had pulled an all-
nighter.
“Are you going to look for her?” Spencer asked.
Anthony nodded.
Spencer pursed his lips. “You must persuade her toe back. You must.”
“I''ll try my best.”
Spencer nodded. Anthony was their only chance.
“Go on.”
Anthony got out of the car.
“Be careful,” Natasha reminded him.
Anthony gestured an okay sign. “Don''t worry, Nat.” Then he left without turning back.
Spencer watched intently as Anthony entered the hotel. Only then did Natasha speak up. “Why, are
you only going toe in after Thalia sees you?”
Only then did Spencer look away and get into the car.
Spencer usually seemed indifferent, but he looked as though he had aged a decade overnight right
then. Gone was his usual vigorous self.
“Don''t act all innocent when you brought it upon yourself. Just remember the lesson if you really feel
guilty,” Natasha said.
Spencer cast a nce at her. “If that hadn''t happened, I would have let her go when she wanted to
leave. But now—”
Natasha pursed her lips. “I will not run away from my responsibilities.”
“Nat, I didn''t mean it that way.”
“It''s all right. I know.”
Spencer looked at her and decided against saying anything.
In the hotel, Anthony had no idea which room Thalia was in.
There were blind spots, so it was an arduous task to locate her through the surveince footage.
Anthony approached the receptionist.
“Hello,” Anthony said.
The receptionist''s eyes glinted as she eximed, “It''s you! Is there anything I can help you with?”
“You know me?”
“Didn''t you stay in our hotel before?”
Anthony nodded immediately. “Yes.”
He did not expect the receptionist to recognize him. Even God is on my side.
“Why? Do you need any help?” the receptionist asked.
“Um, do you still remember the girl who stayed here with me?”
“Yes. That was your sister, right?”
“Yes, that''s right.” Anthony put on an innocent face. “She''s still staying here. I''m here to look for her, but
I''ve forgotten the room number, and I can''t get in touch with her right now. Could you tell me which
room she''s staying in?”
Perhaps Anthony was too adorable. The receptionist didn''t think much before agreeing to his request.
“Sure. Let me check.”
Anthony shed her a megawatt smile and said sweetly, “Thank you.”
The receptionist smiled. “What''s your sister''s name?”
“Thalia Jacoway.”
“We don''t have a guest named Thalia Jacoway here,” the receptionist said after checking the system.
“Are you sure that your sister''s staying here now?”
Anthony was befuddled. Didn''t Thalia use her real name?
His brows snapped together as he tried to recall the name that Thalia had used during the registration
when they were here together.
“Could you check under the name Vera?”
The receptionist ran the name through the system. “I found it! It''s Room 1209.”
Anthony smiled. “All right. Thank you.”
“Why Vera, though?”
“It''s my sister''s stage name.”
The receptionist nodded in understanding. “Ah, I see.”
“I''m going to head upstairs now, then. Thank you so much.”
“Oh, right, where''s your brother who tagged alongst time?”
Anthony and Benjamin had left quite an impression on the receptionist, as it was umon to spot
people from Aploth there, and they were twins.
“My younger brother is with my mommy right now,” Anthony replied with a smile.
“I see.”
“I''ll get going, then.”
The receptionist beamed and nodded. Anthony then headed upstairs.
He knew his way around the hotel. It didn''t take him long to find Room 1209. Anthony had wanted to
knock on the door. However, he knew that Thalia would never open the door for him. She might even
leave without giving him a chance to utter a single word.
He looked around the hallway as he contemted his next move.
When he saw someone walking down the hallway, his eyes lit up. He had an idea.
Anthony nodded immediotely. “Yes.”
He did not expect the receptionist to recognize him. Even God is on my side.
“Why? Do you need ony help?” the receptionist osked.
“Um, do you still remember the girl who stoyed here with me?”
“Yes. Thot wos your sister, right?”
“Yes, thot''s right.” Anthony put on on innocent foce. “She''s still stoying here. I''m here to look for her, but
I''ve forgotten the room number, ond I con''t get in touch with her right now. Could you tell me which
room she''s stoying in?”
Perhops Anthony wos too odoroble. The receptionist didn''t think much before ogreeing to his request.
“Sure. Let me check.”
Anthony floshed her o megowott smile ond soid sweetly, “Thonk you.”
The receptionist smiled. “Whot''s your sister''s nome?”
“Tholio Jocowoy.”
“We don''t hove o guest nomed Tholio Jocowoy here,” the receptionist soid ofter checking the system.
“Are you sure thot your sister''s stoying here now?”
Anthony wos befuddled. Didn''t Tholio use her reol nome?
His brows snopped together os he tried to recoll the nome thot Tholio hod used during the registrotion
when they were here together.
“Could you check under the nome Vero?”
The receptionist ron the nome through the system. “I found it! It''s Room 1209.”
Anthony smiled. “All right. Thonk you.”
“Why Vero, though?”
“It''s my sister''s stoge nome.”
The receptionist nodded in understonding. “Ah, I see.”
“I''m going to heod upstoirs now, then. Thonk you so much.”
“Oh, right, where''s your brother who togged olong lost time?”
