Tony laughed as he listened to Thalia’s words. “I don’t have any evil plans. I’m so innocent and adorable!”
Thalia was speechless.
Innocent and adorable? What nonsense! These words do not fit him at all!
Mimicking his tone of voice, Thalia replied, “Don’t you think you are mistaken about your own character?”
Tony cast a glance at her. “Am I mistaken? Aren’t I innocent and adorable?” “Do you remember those cruel things you did to the netizens?” Thalia asked.
“I…”
“Do you remember the hospital incident where you picked up a knife with the intention of attacking the man who hurt your mommy?”
“Um…”
“Have you forgotten the ambitious wishes you made?” Thalia asked. Once more, Tony was rendered speechless.
He blinked as he pondered over it for some time.
At this moment, Thalia looked at him. “Do you still think you’re so innocent and adorable?” Tony took a deep breath. “I’ve gone overboard!”
“Well, it’s not too late to recognize yourself for who you are!”
“Um… I only made one comment. Do you need to take revenge on me?”
Thalia smiled. “As you know, we, the users of the Darknetz, are vengeful people!”
At this moment, Tony understood the truth of the statement-hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Ben and Donna could not help giggling as they watched the two of them bickering. Thalia looked at them. “What’s so funny?”
“Tony has been bullying us all these years. Finally, he has met his match!” Donna replied. Ben nodded. “Thalia, you’re his nemesis!”
At this, Thalia raised her eyebrows. “Is that so?”
“At the very least, I’ve never come across anyone who can out-talk him,” Donna said. “Thalia, you’re the first.”
Hearing that, Thalia was immediately pleased, and she glanced at Tony . “Is that true?”
“Do you believe her words?” “Yes, certainly!”
Tony smiled. “Apparently, women tend to pay heed to what they like to hear and ignore the truth.” “We call this selective perception,” Thalia emphasized.
“Apparently, you know well about what kind of person you are. That’s great.” Tony nodded. It was Thalia’s turn to be speechless.
Indeed, Tony was a sore loser!
In the end, he still made some harsh remarks as a way of retort.
They said I had won the argument… Was it not just a fluke shot?
With this thought on her mind, Thalia heaved a helpless sigh. “Apparently, I will not be needed to carry out tomorrow’s mission. Therefore, I shall go back to rest. Goodnight.” As she spoke, she put on a tired look and turned around to leave.
Seeing this, Tony stopped her. “Please don’t mind me!” “What now? Is there anything else?”
Tony looked at her, took a deep breath, and smiled as he spoke. “You are a beautiful and smart woman, so I guess you won’t hold this against me and come at me with despicable means, right?”
The first part of his words was full of “praise,” but he ended the sentence with a “threat.”
Thalia looked at Tony , whose words carried an implied meaning. She was unsure if she should feel angry or otherwise.
“If you want to coax me, you should do it properly, no?” Thalia said.
Tony thought for a moment. “I will double the benefits that you want!”
Thalia was startled. “Do you think that I’m going to give in just because of the benefits-” “Five times, then!”
Thalia nearly choked. “I…”
“Forget about it if you are unwilling. If worse comes to worst, I’ll forsake this batch of goods. Anyway, it’s not a great loss to me!” Tony said.
“Don’t! I’ll go. I’ll go!” Thalia quickly replied.
Five times! It’s a fivefold increase in the benefits!This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
It was no wonder that she would give in to Tony . If she did not agree to it right away, it might be too late.
Only a fool would forsake a good opportunity out of anger.
At the same moment, Donna and Ben were observing them with frowns on their faces. They had never expected Thalia to concede to defeat so quickly.
They found out that they had overestimated her.
After staring at Tony for a moment, they lowered their heads as they realized that they were wrong about Tony again.
Then, Thalia looked at Tony . “We should not involve personal feelings when dealing with important matters, right? Besides, profits matter most! Don’t you think so?”
“Have you decided to go?” “Certainly!”
“What about Sam ?”
“We’ll deal with Sam after this is over!” Thalia said.
Tony ‘s lips curled upward victoriously. “Great! When Sam wants an explanation, I’m not the only one responsible. We made the decision together!”
There was nothing that Thalia could say.
With just a few words, Tony had shared responsibility with her instead of shouldering it alone. Thalia was upset, but she could not do anything about it.
Thalia nodded. “Right, we made the decision together!”
Only then did Tony smile in satisfaction. Then, his gaze fell upon Ben and Donna . “For tomorrow’s mission, only Thalia and I will go. Donna , you’re returning to the film crew, aren’t you? Go back if you must. Ben , the injury on your hand hasn’t recovered fully, so you should stay at home and rest!”
“No!” Ben exclaimed. Tony frowned.
Ben said, “This is the first serious mission that we are going on. If I don’t go, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.”
“But your hand-“
