You're Out Daddy

You're Out, Daddy Chapter 223

Chapter 223 Revenge Zachary stroked along Thea's arm, causing shivers to run through her body. "What?

Weren't you raging just a secondago? Your body...

seems to imply otherwise!" Zachary's teasing voice rang out beside her ear. Thea's expression was a

mixtureof anger and resignation. She shot him a sidelong glance and questioned, "How do you think Natasha

will feel if she sees you like this, Zachary?" Zachary immediately stiffened at the mention of Natasha. His

playful gaze earlier morphed into one of fury. Alas, Natasha was his Achilles heel. A second later, Zachary

grabbed Thea's hair and threatened, "I told you before never to bring up her name again!" Undeterred by his

show of violence, Thea raised her head and sneered, "Why not? Because you'll lose control once her name

comes up? Haven't you wondered what she's doing right now? She might well be celebrating with Kenneth this

very instant." Zachary shoved her away and yelled, "Get out! Right now!" Thea stumbled from his sudden

movement. No one had mistreated her like this before, and her disbelief and rage were palpable in her gaze.

She turned around to glare at him before mocking, "I thought you were a vengeful person, Zachary, but it

seems your temper far exceeds your actual talents!" Zachary listened on wordlessly. It seemed as though

Thea's words had done little to spur him into action. He grabbed a glass of liquor from the table and knocked it

back in one shot. Thea continued her mockery, "Kenneth was clearly behind this whole fiasco. I won't blame

you if you think you can't beat him and want to give up. After all, you were never his match in the first place.

When it comes to women, career, or family, he easily trumps you in every aspect. Natasha was smart not to

choose you." Crash! The sound of breaking glass filled the air. Before Thea could react, Zachary pounced on

her and clamped his hand around her neck, pinning her against the wall. He warned, "Don't test my patience,

Thea!" Thea's face reddened as she gasped for air. Still, she replied, "Why not? I'm just telling the truth. Look

at yourself. Your family is in tatters while Kenneth's enjoying a happy reunion. He could be fooling around with

Natasha right this minute—" "I said, stop talking!" Zachary clamped his hand tighter around her neck, his eyes

bloodshot with rage. He looked as though he could end her life at any moment. Despite how suffocated she

felt, a red-faced Thea continued to give Zachary a mocking and pitiful stare. Just as she thought she was

about to faint from the lack of oxygen, Zachary suddenly loosened his hand. Thea collapsed to the ground and

desperately gasped for air. Her body heaved with waves of hacking coughs. Meanwhile, Zachary knelt and

looked at her coldly. 'Til show you how Kenneth kneels before me and begs for mercy. Let's see if you can still

accept your idol when he's meekly begging for his life." She returned his cold gaze. This man is far too

temperamental. He's psychotic, but isn't his madness and vengefulness exactly what I want? Satisfied with his

newfound motivation, Thea said, "Well then, when does your plan start?" "It has already started!" Zachary said

with a smile. She narrowed her eyes suspiciously and asked, "Already? Why didn't you tell me?" "Well, now

you know, right?" "Does that mean you wouldn't have told me anything if I hadn't come to see you?" Zachary

retorted with a smirk, "Why wouldn't I? You're the key to my plan. Of course, I would tell you about it." Thea

continued to stare at him in suspicion. Though Zachary often came across as a temperamental brat, he was

basically an enigma. However, she knew her only shot at ruining Natasha and Kenneth's relationship was to

work together with Zachary. After some thought, Thea piped up, "Fine. I'll wait for your further instructions,

then!" Noticing that she was about to leave, Zachary suddenly said, "Do you know Kingsley Watson?" The

name caused Thea to stiffen in surprise. She whirled around and replied, "Kingsley Watson? He's a

shareholder of Hamilton Corporation. Of course, I know him!" "He's on bad terms with Hamilton Corporation

now and is effectively Kenneth's sworn enemy!" Zachary added mysteriously while looking at his palm. "So

what?" "Win him over to our side," Zachary said. Thea narrowed her eyes and asked, "You want me to win him

over?" "Both of you work in the same company and have some history between you. I need the shares in his

hands!" "What happened to following my plan?" Thea challenged. That earned her a scoff from Zachary, who

argued, "You think you know Kenneth so well because of your relationship, but don't you think he knows you

equally well? I need to strike him down with a lethal blow so that he can't make a comeback ever again. All my

efforts will be wasted if he has even the slightest chance of revival!" Thea spat, "So you just don't trust me!"

"On the contrary, you have my utmost faith. I can sense your hatred for him, which is why I need you more

than ever," Zachary said pacifyingly. Thea returned his stare and commented, "But Kingsley is a long-time

shareholder of Hamilton Corporation. Even if he's on bad terms with Kenneth, there's no guaranteeing that he'll

help you." "That's where you come in!" "Even if I'm involved, he may not agree to your plan." "No one in this

world can resist the temptation of more money. Kingsley no longer has a place in Hamilton Corporation. All he

has is a measly bit of shares. If you try to buy it from him now, he'll only think you're doing that to be closer to

Kenneth. He probably won't overthink things." Zachary's explanation had Thea falling into a period of

thoughtful silence. His plan is admittedly more well-thought-out than mine. Something niggled at her mind, and

she asked, "How do you know he's on bad terms with Hamilton Corporation?" "I have my means!" "You've

planted men in Hamilton Corporation?" asked Thea. Zachary leisurely grabbed more liquor from the table

instead of responding as an ambiguous smirk curved his lips. Despite his claims of trusting her, he continued

to keep her at arm's length regarding his plans. Thea had no choice but to push on with their plan. She nodded

and said, "Okay. I'll deal with Kingsley, but..." Mid-sentence, she trailed off, prompting Zachary to ask, "But

what?" She was still uncomfortable with the arrangement, especially when she recalled how Kingsley stared at

her in the company. If not for Kenneth, Kingsley would have made a pass at her long ago. Sadly, she believed

voicing these concerns would only make her seem like a useless, whiny woman before Zachary. "But nothing.

I'll think of a way to get his shares." A satisfied and meaningful smile appeared on Zachary's face after hearing

her words.
