Chapter 675
Natasha paused briefly, slightly taken aback. Without turning to look at him, she asked in a calm
voice, “Isn''t Thalia your friend?”
“So you''re doing all of this because of us, Nat?” Anthony answered with another question.
“That''s not the sole reason,” Natasha replied.

“Then what else is it for?”
“She saved me in the past too,” stated Natasha.
“Are you referring to the time when you were in the hospital?” Anthony pressed.
Natasha nodded in response. “You can say that.”
Blinking at her, Anthonymented, “You sure repay every good deed that you''ve received, Nat.”
Natasha did not respond.
At that very moment, there were new motions on theputer screen.
A few video clips popped up.
“Is it ready?” Natasha asked.
Everyone''s attention was turned to theputer screen.
Anthony clicked on the videos and watched them carefully.
“It''s Thalia,” Anthony announced. “She''s still wearing the same clothes that she wore when she left.”
Upon hearing that, Natasha immediately followed up with a question. “Can you find out where she is
now?”
“Let me try searching for the time of herst appearance.”
Anthony pulled aside the videos one by one until there was only one video left in the center of the
screen. The video was taken most recently. The person in the video had changed her outfit, but
from her gait and posture, one could easily deduce that the person in the video was Thalia.
“Found it!” Anthony suddenly eximed. “Here.”
Natasha leaned closer to the screen. When she confirmed Thalia''s familiar silhouette in the video,
she knitted her brows. “What is this ce?”
The three children were instantly intrigued. They shoved their faces closer to the screen, and
Benjamin squinted. “This ce looks a little familiar...”
“I think so too. It does look familiar,” Anthony affirmed.
Natasha turned to look at them curiously.
Benjamin quickly whipped out his phone and started scrolling through it. After a brief moment of
searching, he showed the others his phone screen. “Look at this.”
Benjamin had pulled out a photo from his gallery. The background of the photo was exactly the
same location where Thalia was spotted in the video.
Anthony looked at his brother. “Where is this?”
“It''s the hotel that we stayed in when we first got here,” answered Benjamin.
Realization dawned on Anthony. “No wonder the ce looks so familiar.”
“So, has Thalia gone back to the hotel to stay there?” Benjamin asked.
“I think so. I remembered when we first arrived, Thalia told us she would stay in that hotel every
time she came here.”
Benjamin bobbed his head. “That rings a bell, for sure.”
All the while, Keh had been listening in on their conversation. When he heard the boys''
conclusion, he took out his phone. “I''ll give Spencer a call right away.”
“Daddy, wait,” Anthony called out to him and stopped him.
Puzzled, Keh looked down at the boy.
Staring up at him, Anthony exined, “Thalia probably left because of some problems between her
and Spencer. I know what she''s like. Since she has decided to leave, that means she has probably
decided to never cross paths with him. If Spencer suddenly shows up at her location, Thalia will
hide somewhere else, and that''ll make her impossible to find!”
A crease appeared between Keh''s brows as he listened to Anthony''s analysis.
Natasha nodded. “Anthony''s right.”
“Then what do you guys propose we do?” Keh asked.
“Perhaps I can go meet Thalia in person first to have a chat,” Anthony suggested.
“Thalia cut off the signal on her phone to forbid the three of us from contacting her. Will it really
make a difference for you to see her in person?” Benjamin asked.
“It''s worth a shot. We cane up with something else if it doesn''t work.” Anthony shrugged
nonchntly.
“I''ll go with you,” Natasha offered.
Anthony turned to look at her and nodded. “What about Spencer?”
“We''ll go to her first. Keh, you can inform Spencer, but make sure that he doesn''t exacerbate
the situation with any rash actions,” said Natasha.
With a curt nod, Keh left to make the phone call.
“Let''s go.” Natasha stood up and looked at Anthony and Keh. Her firm tone left them no room to
hesitate.
“Nat, let us tag along.” All of a sudden, Denise spoke up. “I''ll just sit in the car and not disturb you.”
Natasha looked at Denise and Benjamin. Denise''s request reminded her that she had not brought
them out ever since they arrived. She had neglected them, as she was upied with other things.
Her gaze softened. “Come on. Let''s go.”
With that, the four of them headed outside.
Meanwhile, Keh had just gotten off the phone with Spencer. As he was heading downstairs, he
suddenly remembered something and immediately hurried to the garage.
However, when he arrived, Natasha and the rest were already waiting for him inside the car.
Guilt flickered across Keh''s heart as he saw the car that was parked at the side. He quickly
walked over and got into the car.
Natasha and the three children were already seated inside the car.
With a hired driver at the wheel and extra room in the spacious car, Keh got into the backseat
as well.
When he got into the car, Keh immediately focused his gaze on Natasha. Natasha''s head was
lowered as she scrolled through her phone. It was impossible for Keh to gauge her thoughts
and emotions.
Turning his gaze to Anthony, Keh signaled the boy wordlessly with his eyes.
Frowning slightly, Keh announced, “I''ve given Spencer a call. He''ll be heading there now too,
but he''ll wait for us downstairs.”
“Okay,” Natasha responded with a nod.
Keh still could not figure out Natasha''s feelings. He was unsure about whether she was angry.
As he walked over, Anthony immediately walked to the seats at the back, making room for Keh
beside Natasha.
Keh plopped down next to Natasha and looked at her. “Nat—”
“I''m gonna take a short nap,” Natasha cut him off. “Wake me up when we''ve arrived.”
With a single sentence, Natasha managed to shove all the words Keh wanted to say back into
his throat.
Having nothing else to say, Keh merely nodded. “You can rest your head on my shoulder.”
“There''s no need for that. Dave''s cares with a sleep function.” As she spoke, Natasha pressed
a button, causing her seat to incline backward. She then closed her eyes to sleep.
Keh turned his head around to look at the three kids sitting behind them.
The children stared back at him with simr expressions.
Keh frowned.
Wanting to ask them a question, Keh opened his mouth before closing it again. It was not a
question meant for Natasha to hear. Unfortunately, she was right next to him, and there was no way
to know if she had actually fallen asleep.
Keh took out his phone and created an impromptu group chat with just the four of them. He
asked: What is going on?
All three of the kids'' phones rang at the same time.
Keh instinctively turned to look at Natasha, worried that she would notice something was amiss.
With mild panic written on their faces, the children quickly turned off the notifications of the group
chat before continuing the conversation in the chat.
Anthony was the first to reply: How do I put this? There''s no easy way to say it.
Benjamin''s reply followed: Yeah. It''s hard to tell.
Denise wrote: I want to rify that I have no idea what''s going on.
Words eluded Keh.
It was obvious that they were feigning ignorance.
Keh asked: Cut it out. What on earth is going on?
Anthony replied: Daddy, you betrayed us this morning, but now you want to obtain information from
us? This isn''t a very friendly way to ask for a favor.
Keh retorted: Didn''t you guys betray me too?
Benjamin interjected: But it was you who started it, Daddy!
Anthony agreed: That''s right!
Keh was once again at a loss for words.
There was no counterargument that he could give.
After a brief pause, Keh changed his approach. He asked: Okay. What do you two want?
Anthony began: Two conditions.
Keh bargained: At most one each.
Benjamin epted happily: Deal!
Anthony agreed: Fine. I''ll allow it.
Keh asked: So, what''s the request?
Denise interrupted: Hold on. Do I get a share too?
Keh put an end to Denise''s idea immediately. He replied: This is none of your business.
Denise pouted.
Keh repeated the question to Anthony and Benjamin: So, what''s the request?
