Chapter 1066 A Qualified Heir


    Looking at her, Thalia suddenly asked, “What about you?”


    “What?”


    “You always strive to prevent others from feeling upset, but have you ever asked yourself if you''re


    truly okay?” Thalia asked.


    Natasha was slightly taken aback. She asked, “Is that important?”


    “Why isn''t it important?” Thalia retorted, “Nat, although I greatly admire your way of handling things,


    your ability to cover all bases, as a friend, I still hope you can be yourself. You have emotions, and


    you can let them out. At times, you don''t have to worry about others!”


    Natasha looked at her and responded, “Not everyone cries when they''re falling apart, and not


    everyone sobs when they''re sad. I''m better at self-regtion. Moreover, I''m not repressed. On the


    contrary, I''ve received too many favors in the first half of my life. Everyone has helped me. Now, it''s


    time for me to give back.”


    Thalia nodded. “All right, then. It''s your life, after all. I don''t fully understand your past, but as long


    as you know what you''re doing, that''s what matters. Remember, you should always put yourself


    first, no matter what.”


    Natasha looked at her and smiled slightly. “I know.”


    Thalia nodded at her.


    Suddenly, Natasha looked at her and asked, “What about you? What''s your n?”


    Upon hearing the question, Thalia shook her head. “Me? What ns could I possibly have?”


    “What I mean is, how long do you n to stay here?” Natasha asked.


    Thalia paused for a moment before answering, “It all depends on Anthony. Whenever he leaves,


    that''s when I''ll leave.”


    Natasha gave a slight nod in response.


    Seeing that, Thalia sized her up and asked, “What''s the matter? Can''t bear to part?”


    “Isn''t it quite normal to feel that way?” Natasha retorted.


    Upon hearing this, Thalia nodded and said, “Indeed, it''s normal. But if you show even the slightest


    hint of reluctance, I bet Anthony and Benjamin won''t be able to leave!”


    “They are all children with clear minds who, despite their reluctance, will make their own choices.”


    “I actually asked him about this,” Thalia said. “He made it clear to me that if you''re not willing, he


    would stay here, start a business, make some money, just to be with you all the time.”


    Natasha asked, “Do you think I would allow him to do that?”


    Thalia looked at her and smiled slightly. “Of course not.”


    “He wouldn''t do that, either,” Natasha said with absolute certainty.


    Thalia broke into a smile. “Natasha, do you know how charming you are?”


    Natasha was taken aback by her question.


    “Out of all the women I''ve ever met, you are the most captivating,” Thalia praised.


    “Could it be that you just don''t know enough people?” Natasha retorted.


    “Thalia, do I not know enough people? Nat, are youcking confidence in yourself?”


    “I clearlyck confidence in you...”


    “It''s so taxing to chat with you!” Thalia grumbled.


    Natashaughed.


    Seeing herugh, Thalia also felt a sense of relief in her heart.


    On the way back, seeing Natasha''s constant look of worry, she was very concerned. At that


    moment, however, seeing her like that, she could finally put her mind at ease.


    “Did Old Mr. Hamilton give you any trouble?” Thalia suddenly asked.


    Natasha shook her head. “No.”


    “Indeed, he''s an enlightened old man, able to remain rational under such circumstances. Truly


    remarkable,” said Thalia.


    Natasha nodded indisputably. “Indeed.”


    “No matter what, the oue is always better than what you imagine, so rest assured,” Thalia said


    as she looked at Natasha.


    All of a sudden, Natasha called out, “Thalia.”


    “Hmm?”


    “When will you be taking Anthony with you?” Natasha asked.


    “Um, it''s not decided yet. It depends on Anthony, but there should be no rush...”


    “What I mean is, leave earlier!” Natasha said.


    Thalia looked at her as if she had misheard. “W-What do you mean?”


    “There''s no point lingering. Leave as soon as you can.”


    “No. I''m not even in a hurry yet. Why are you?” Thalia asked.


    After some thought, Natasha looked at her and said, “I''m afraid if he doesn''t leave, he won''t be able


    to.”


    “Can''t leave? Why? What does that mean?” Thalia asked.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Natasha didn''t say much. Instead, she merely uttered, “In any case, you should n for this matter


    as soon as possible. It''s better to leave early thante.”


    “Aren''t you afraid of what Holden might do to Anthony?” Thalia asked. Before she came back, such


    things had already happened. Does she really not worry?


    In response, Natasha answered calmly, “If he had wanted to do something to Anthony, we wouldn''t


    be here talking so peacefully now.”


    Back then, Holden certainly had the opportunity, but he chose to endure the painful blows rather


    than do anything to Anthony.


    So, deep down, she still believed in the feelings they shared.


    Thalia murmured, “Do you also know something about Holden?”


    “Not really. It''s just that I could tell from his eyes that day he had no intention of harming Anthony.”


    Thalia looked at her in surprise. “Although I share your view, I''ve spent a lot of time with Holden and


    understand him. But you, something''s off about you. You''re willing to trust so much just based on a


    look?”


    “Of course not,” Natasha denied. “I''m not some omnipotent being, nor would I risk their lives. I just


    trust the judgments you and Kyle make. If Holden really were the type to lose his cool and act


    irrationally, he wouldn''t have made it this far.”


    Hearing that, Thalia couldn''t help but feelpelled to admit her point. With just a few simple


    sentences, she managed to convince me. Despite appearing to be someone who is indifferent to


    everything, at this moment, whatever he says seems as if it has been nned for a long time.


    “You''re right. Holden has always been a sensible and reliable man, but when ites to revenge,


    he''s truly relentless!” Thalia said.


    “But his persistence doesn''t mean he''s lost his sanity. I believe it''s just his way of venting. He won''t


    harm Anthony!” Natasha was very certain.


    “To be honest, I''m not even that sure myself!” said Thalia.


    Instead ofmenting more, Natasha merely said, “In any case, when the right opportunityes,


    take them and leave.”


    “May I ask why?”


    “Because if he doesn''t leave, he might have to face what he dislikes the most. So, I don''t want to


    waste his talent,” said Natasha.


    Thalia was still utterly confused. “What on earth does that mean?”


    Seeing her bewildered expression, Natasha sighed helplessly, “What I mean is, if they don''t leave


    soon, they might have to face returning to thepany and learning how to be a qualified


    heir.”


    Thalia was at a loss for words.
