Chapter 345
Noticing his movements, Natasha grabbed onto the door handle. She opened the car door and got out
of the car.
She smirked slightly at him. “I'm not that thirsty, but if you are, you should return to the office. After all,
there are a lot of people who are willing to help you quench your thirst, Mr. Hamilton.” With that, she
made a move to close the door.
However, Kenneth acted faster and held the door with his hand. “But the only person I want is you.”
Natasha's lips curved upward. “I'm sorry. I have no interest in satisfying your desire right now.” With
that, she closed the door firmly.
The window slowly rolled down. “You don't want to do that now. Does that mean that you'll be
interested in doing that later?” Kenneth was sensitive enough to catch onto her words.
Natasha looked at him in silence, her eyes scrutinizing him.
“Okay. I'll come to find you once I'm done with work,” the astute Kenneth immediately said.
Natasha nodded. “Okay. I'll wait for you.”
Kenneth narrowed his eyes as he stared at her. “Remember what you've said, Natasha.”
He knew that Natasha always put up a stubborn front. However, judging from Natasha's words,
Kenneth was well aware that she had not rejected him.
At least he still stood a chance.
When Kenneth thought of that, his eyes were filled with desire.
On the other hand, Natasha only smiled at him. Not wanting to waste more time on him, she turned
around to leave.
Kenneth called out as he watched her walking away. “I won't be able to come at night, but I'll find you
first thing tomorrow.”
Without even looking back, Natasha waved her hand dismissively and walked into the building.
It was only after she entered the building that Kenneth looked away.
If it hadn't been for the fact that he had something to attend to at night, he would have followed her
inside.
Kenneth's eyes turned cold at once when he thought of the matter. He took out his phone to make a
call.
“How are things going?”
After the person on the other end of the line responded, Kenneth instructed, “Good. Make sure to keep
your eyes on them.”
With that, he looked in the direction of where Natasha had left. His eyes narrowed slightly while his lips
curled into a smile.
Wait for me.
He then started the engine and drove off.
Meanwhile, Natasha was standing on the balcony as she looked down. Her eyes narrowed when
Kenneth's car left.
This time, she was not sure when she would return. To be more specific, she was not even sure if she
would ever come back.
I'm sorry, Kenneth. Please take good care of Grandpa and the kids.

Upon thot thought, Notosho recomposed herself ond stored into the distonce.
It wos well into the night. There wos o weok light shining onto the jetty.
A car was parked at a spot that was well hidden from view.
With a pair of binoculars, Anthony stared at the jetty from inside the car.
“Is there anything?” Thalia asked.
Anthony shook his head.
“Are you sure it's tonight?” Thalia asked as she crossed her legs.
“Of course. I'm a hundred percent sure.”
Thalia then sat up straight and took the binoculars from Anthony. She wanted to have a look.
“Where did you get the information from?”
“Um...”
“Is the source supposed to be a secret?” Thalia asked.
“It's not that... You'll figure it out in a while,” Anthony said.
Thalia glanced over at him. “Must you really keep me in suspense?”
Anthony remained silent.
“But if the source is reliable, where are they?” Thalia queried.
“I don't know either. Could it be that something unforeseen transpired?”
“Who knows? The rendezvous may have been canceled,” Thalia said as she put down the binoculars.
Anthony furrowed his brows.
“Let's just wait for a while more. This sort of activity is usually carried out at late night, right?” Benjamin,
who was sitting in the backseat, piped up.
Thalia glanced over at him with a small smile. “You seem to know a lot about this.”
Before Benjamin could reply, Denise spoke up instead. “That's how things usually play out in the
movies, right?”
Thalia didn't know how to respond to that.
“That's right,” Benjamin agreed.
Thalia was speechless. They've probably overestimated themselves...
Denise then reached for the binoculars. “Let me have a look.”
Thalia instantly passed the binoculars over to her.
Denise held onto the binoculars and started looking around.
However, just as she was watching, she suddenly piped up, “How many people are supposed to come,
Tony?”
“Seven to eight, I guess...” Anthony trailed off before adding, “But there are more than seven to eight of
them that we're going to face tonight.”
“What do you mean?” Thalia pressed.
“I—”
“I saw them! There are quite a few foreigners!” Denise exclaimed.
Anthony instantly got excited when he heard her. “Let me take a look!”
Denise threw the binoculars over to him, and Anthony quickly took them.
“What's going on?” Thalia got excited as well.
Anthony looked toward the jetty and saw that there were indeed five to six people at the jetty. All of
them were tall and burly. They were looking around as they stood on the jetty.

“What about the goods?” Thalia asked.
“Since the people are here, the goods should be arriving anytime soon,” Anthony analyzed.
Thalia took a deep breath as excitement filled her eyes. “I've always been tasked with dangerous
missions in the past. It's the first time I'm doing something secretive and illegal! Oh my goodness. I'm
getting excited!”
Benjamin raised his eyebrows at that. “Well... I don't think your previous missions have brought you a
great fortune like this one.”
Denise burst out laughing at that.
“What do you think about this mission then?” Thalia muttered.
“Hmmm... A heroic act of helping the poor?” Benjamin said after pondering for a moment.
“How? Who are the poor people that you're referring to?” Thalia asked in confusion.
Oh, please... They are loaded, and they're nothing like the poor.
“The poor people living in the slums, of course. Once we get our hands on the goods, we'll donate what
we've seized to the poor!” Benjamin said.
Thalia chuckled at that. “You two are definitely related by blood. It's amazing how you are able to find
such good excuses for your shameless actions.”
“I'll take it as a compliment,” Benjamin replied with a smile.
“It is.”
Just as they were bickering with each other, Anthony was focused on the jetty. He looked at the
surroundings, and his eyebrows furrowed in worry.
Where are those people?
Thalia noticed the look on his face and asked, “What's up? When are we making a move?”
“Let's wait a while more.”
“What are we waiting for?”
“Waiting for another group of people to appear.”
Thalia was reminded of something after hearing his reply. She glanced at him and asked, “What did
you mean earlier when you said that we're not only going up against one group of people?”
Anthony placed his binoculars down. “It's exactly what you just said.”
“Do you mean that there will be another group of people coming to snatch the goods?”
Anthony nodded after a brief moment of hesitation.
Thalia frowned. “Who? Wait. How did you know there would be another group of people?”
Anthony merely smiled at her.
“We've come this far. Why can't you just tell us?” Thalia took a deep breath, seemingly trying to
suppress her anger.
“It's not that I can't...” Anthony trailed off in doubt. He actually did not know how to put it into words.
“What—”
“Tony, something is up!” Benjamin interrupted them. “There's something moving on the surface of the
water. I think they're getting ready.”
Anthony's eyebrows furrowed when he heard that. He would be lying if he said he was not nervous.
After all, it was his first time doing something like this. At that moment, he was filled with excitement
and nervousness.
Denise looked at Anthony. “What should we do next, Tony?”
“We'll wait for the other group of people to appear,” Anthony said.
Everyone in the car looked at him in confusion. They had no idea what Anthony was up to.
