You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 1046 No One Can Stop Me

Holden stared at Kyle. He knew if it weren't for something exceedingly urgent, the man wouldn't have asked him to leave at such a time.

However, even if he were asked to leave then, he couldn't budge a single step.

His gaze shifted to Dave, who was a distance away. It felt as though he would miss this opportunity once he left.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

“Holden!” Kyle called out to him.

“Kyle,” Holden suddenly interrupted before retracting his gaze and turning it to the man. His expression was solemn, and he showed no signs of backing down. “Just say what you have to say.”

Kyle looked at him with a frown.

“Otherwise, you can wait until after I've dealt with them.” As Holden said that, his eyes glinted with determination.

Just as he was about to step forward, Kyle grabbed him. “It'll be too late by then.”

Eyeing Kyle, Holden promptly frowned. “What exactly do you want, Kyle? You know how much this matters to me. You don't have to help me, but you can't stop me!”

“I must stop you today!” Kyle declared, holding his gaze.

Holden was slightly taken aback. He gaped at the man with a bewildered look, seemingly incredulous. “What did you just say?”

Kyle looked at him. Despite knowing full well that his words might anger Holden, he still said, “I'm afraid there's isn't anything you can do today.”

“What does that mean?”

“It's a long story. Leave with me, and I'll tell you all about it!”

Holden abruptly burst into laughter, “Leave? Kyle, no one knows better than you how long I've been waiting for this day or understands my thoughts better. Now that I'm here, just one step away, you're asking me to leave?”

As Kyle listened to the man's voice, an indescribable feeling rose within him. Yet, there was nothing he could do.

With his eyes fixed on him, Kyle replied, “It's because I understand you that I must stop you. Otherwise, you'll only end up with more regrets!”

Anyone could tell that there was an implicit meaning behind his words.

“What does that mean? What are you trying to say exactly?” Holden demanded, looking at him.

At the side, Thalia grew anxious as she watched them, fretting that they still hadn't managed to get to the bottom of things after such a long while.

She walked right up to them and stared at Kyle. “Just spit it out already, Boss!”

Kyle looked at her, his gaze dark and indecipherable.

Thalia took a deep breath. “If this continues, you and Holden will soon come to blows because of this. If you can't say it, I'll do it instead.”

As soon as her words fell, Holden narrowed his eyes a fraction. He looked at Kyle with his lips pursed. Still, he remained silent.

He didn't know what exactly they wanted to say. But to him, nothing was more important than that.

“Let me deal with them first. Then, we can talk.” While saying that, Holden made to step forward.

“It wasn't Kenneth who killed Janet,” Kyle suddenly blurted.

Upon hearing that, Holden abruptly froze in mid-stride. He turned to look at Kyle, asking in disbelief, “W-What did you just say?”

Kyle looked at him and let out a long sigh. “This is something I should have told you earlier, but Anthony thought it would be more convincing after we've found evidence.”

“What does this have to do with Anthony?” Holden asked.

Kyle met his gaze. “That isn't important. What's crucial is that according to the information Anthony gathered these past few days, it's been verified that Kenneth was indeed not the culprit!”

“Who else could it be if not him? I saw it with my own eyes. You were there too, Kyle. You witnessed it as well. Besides him, who else could it be? Don't tell me Kenneth has a twin brother who looks exactly like him?” Holden asked angrily, enunciating each word, looking incredibly upset.

“I indeed witnessed it with my own eyes, so I've never doubted it. But Anthony has been investigating it for a long time, including them. They only admitted to accidental murder, flatly denying ever having had the chance to come face to face with us.”

Holden's mind was a jumbled mess. He couldn't register whatever Kyle was saying, nor did he want to.

Right then, all he wanted was to barge in and find Kenneth before killing the man.

“I have no idea what you're talking about, Kyle. All I know is that he's in there right now, and if I kill him, this matter will be over. If I don't do it myself, I'll never be able to move on!”

“But I've told you that the person who killed Janet wasn't Kenneth but someone else. Killing him won't do any good when the real murderer will still be at large!” Kyle asserted, staring him in the eye.

Just then, Holden suddenly became anxious and angry, roaring, “It was him! I saw it with my own eyes! Who else could it be?” As he spoke, he turned his gaze in Dave's direction. He shouted hysterically, “Come out, Kenneth! Why are you so cowardly to hide in there? If you have the guts, let's have a duel! Get out! Come out here!” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Holden shouted at the top of his lungs, appearing to be on the brink of pain and collapse.

As the rest of them watched on the sidelines, their brows inexorably furrowed.

Thalia stared at him. She knew he wouldn't believe it easily, but she never expected his reaction to be so intense.

Stepping forward, she tried to explain as well. “Holden, what Boss said is true. We've been investigating this matter all this time. I've seen the marks on Kenneth's body with my own eyes. Boss shot at the culprit back then, and I went to check on his body. There was no such wound on him at all.”

Holden stared ahead in the direction of Dave, his eyes brimming with fury and despair.

However, after Thalia had finished speaking, it seemed like he had taken in her words. He turned and trained his gaze on her.

“You've met Kenneth?” he asked.

Speaking of that, Thalia paused slightly.

“You've met him?” Holden demanded again, his voice laced with suspicion and mockery.

Thalia stared at him, momentarily at a loss for words.

“When? And why didn't you tell me? You know I've been looking for him,” Holden asked, his gaze fixed on her.

At that, Thalia's brows furrowed. “Holden...”

Under his accusing gaze, she felt as though she had done something to betray him.

Seeing Holden's condition and reaction, Spencer immediately went over. With a stretch of his arm, he shielded Thalia behind him. Then, he pinned his eyes on Holden and said, “I know you may find it hard to accept this piece of information for the time being, but it's the truth. You can choose not to believe it, but don't simply doubt those around you who truly have your best interests at heart.”

Holden looked at him, knowing who he was without needing an introduction.

However, there was a hint of something complex in his eyes.

Following that turn of events, Thalia was seemingly afraid they would start arguing and quickly said, “I'm fine, Spencer.”

Unexpectedly, Spencer defended her staunchly. “Hatred is a personal issue. I will never allow anyone to blame you for it.”

Words eluded Thalia.

Hearing that, Holden suddenly sneered.

“Yes, you're right. This is my personal business.” As he spoke, he swept his gaze over them before finally stilling on the man standing a stone's throw away. He enunciated, “Therefore, no one can stop me today.”
