Anne's face moved slightly as she heard the television, her heart sinking. "How do you know?" she asked. "I just heard as Mr. Marwood went to the study," Mia replied. Anne said nothing, continuing to face the direction of the television, her expression unreadable. "Ma'am, I think it was probably just a phone call. Mr. Marwood cares most about you," Mia said. "I don't care. Leave," Anne said, her response surprising Mia. However, she supposed that her indifference was just a facade and that she must be feeling hurt inside. No woman could accept her husband having a mistress, especially when that mistress was Mr. Marwood's former fiance. Anne, standing at the doorway to the bedroom, heard the faint footsteps and turned her face away from the television, looking toward the balcony. The daylight outside seemed so bright, but it had nothing to do with her... Was her life destined to be shrouded in darkness? Anne did not want to admit that it bothered her, and she was unabl
Mia placed the white cane in Anne's hand. Anne used her mind to remember the bathroom location and leaned forward with her white cane. She smoothly made her way into the bathroom. Mia stood next to the beauty collagen drink, thinking that if she had known this, there would have been no hurry to administer the poison when she went upstairs. Now there was only her and Anne. Even if she gave her the drug in front of her, she would not be able to see it. She would take note of that next time. "Ma'am, how are you feeling? The beauty collagen drink is getting cold," Mia said. Anne opened the bathroom door, her cane leading the way, and walked out. She also held a bath towel in her hand. Mia said, "Ma'am, you're holding a bath towel. Do you need a normal towel?" "No, I know it's a bath towel," Anne replied. Mia did not know what Anne wanted the bath towel for, so she did not take it seriously. After Anne sat down, Mia picked up the beauty collagen drink and asked, "Ma'
"Did you drink the beauty collagen drink?" "I did," Anne lied smoothly. "Did you answer the phone yourself?" Anthony queried. "Yes. I'm fine, you go do your stuff." Anne concurred. If Anthony was free, he would just appear before her instantly instead of calling her. "Don't disconnect the phone." Anthony was commanding. "...Is there anything else you want?" Anne inquired. "No." "Just to let you know, I've already eaten." Anne hung up the phone promptly. Anthony was in the lavatory adjacent to the conference room at the moment. There was a one-way mirror in the center, and only the people in the lounge could view the scene in the conference room. The mirror did not work the other way around, and the soundproofing was effective with the door shut. When the senior executives observed Mr. Marwood, who had returned to his seat, his expression was not very pleasing, which caused them a lot of pressure. Anne had just placed her phone down when the triplets arrived. "
The triplets lead Mama for a walk outside the Royal Mansion. Chris saw a small stone in front of him, hurried forward to pick it up, and threw it into the grass beside him. "Hey! What is this? Why are there small stones on the road? What if Mama trips over it? I don't want to take any risks, no matter how small it is!" Charlie pointed at the servants fiercely. "I'm sorry, Master Charlie. We will pay attention to it in the future." The servant was so frightened that he bent down, not daring to raise his head. Anne gently touched Charlie's little head. "It's okay. Keep going." The three little ones continued walking with Mama, carefully guarding the road in front of her. There was a gentle smile on Anne's face. Although they were only two years old, she felt safe with them. It was like she had three guard dogs, who were fierce yet cute. Hayden came over in a hurry. "Ma'am, the road ahead is cleared. It was our negligence. Sorry about that." "It's okay. The path isn't al
Anthony rubbed her little head and put her down. "Go and play!" "Well, with Papa taking care of Mama, we can go play!" After the triplets finished speaking, they ran to play football. They were running around chasing the football happily. Anne listened to the children's voices in the distance, but she felt awkward with Anthony around. No one spoke, and she could feel his sharp gaze falling on her face. "Haven't you got anything to say to me?" "What?" Anne looked cold. "Tell me why you hung up on me." Anthony put his hand on the edge of the table, tapping his fingers against the table. It was very slight, but Anne could hear it. "I asked you if there was anything you wanted to tell me, and you said no, so I figured I could save some money by hanging up," Anne said. "This is how you save money? Huh?" Anthony stuffed some food into his mouth, his expression turning cold. "Why is the food the same as yesterday? Doesn't the chef want his job anymore?" The maid not far
Anne lost her mobile phone, but she had the same number. That was why Ken knew it was her. "It's me, Ken. What's going on at the factory?" Anne asked. "The machines are already being tested. Some of our technicians and Mr. Lloyd's technicians are working on it together. It's going well so far," Ken said. "Xander is Anthony's man. You had better do everything by yourself," Anne said. Ken heard that Anne's tone was different from before, "Ms. Vallois?" "I recovered my memory." Anne did not hide it from him. "That's great! But, will Mr. Marwood do anything to hurt the company?" "No. I'm just upset," Anne said. "Okay." When Mia heard Anne mention her memory was back, she was about to step forward, but she stopped herself. She could not see, but her memory was restored. Did she do anything that made Anne suspicious? Probably not. Otherwise, why would Anne think highly of her and let her be responsible for serving the beauty collagen drink to her? She chided herse
Not long after, the proud sound of someone in high heels came to her ears. Anne could picture Bianca walking arrogantly toward her. Bianca always had real class, especially when she was playing the piano. No wonder Anthony was attracted to her. No one could resist her! The sound of high heels came to a stop in front of her, but she did not hear Bianca speak. "Are you here to laugh at me? Why don't you speak?" Anne asked. "No, I have nothing but sympathy for you," Bianca said. "Sympathy? For my blindness? Yes, you totally should. I live in a mansion as big as a castle, with hundreds of rooms to choose from, food and clothing at my fingertips, and three lively and lovely triplets. You should definitely take pity on me!" Anne said sarcastically. Bianca's expression turned dark. She quickly adjusted her emotions. After all, Anne was the one who called the shots here. "Actually, I came here to ask you something. Who do you think murdered dad? At that time, you lost your
Mia said, "Yes, Ma'am told me to allow Ms. Bianca to enter." "Anthony, I'm sorry. I disobeyed you and ran over here without permission. I knew you were not here, so I came here deliberately to avoid you..." Bianca figured her actions were justifiable. Anne heard it and fully understood Bianca's intentions. She was avoiding Anthony because she was having an affair with him so as not to make people suspicious! "Go back!" Anthony said coldly. As soon as Anne heard him say this, she stopped immediately. "No! She can't leave! She has to explain herself. Bianca killed my father, and she needs to pay!" As she said that, she was about to go forward to take hold of Bianca. She must not let her go! However, she could not see anything and lost her footing, her left foot tripping over her right foot. "Ah..." She was about to fall! "Ma'am!" Mia exclaimed. In the next second, a black shadow flashed past, supporting Anne, who was about to fall to the ground. Anne grabbed Anthony's
At first, Corentin was stunned. Then, he said, "Who have I killed? Ash, you've misunderstood. I've changed now. It's true. Hurry up and come down. The ravioli is getting cold.""Don't come over! I'll jump if you get any closer!" Ashlynn shouted hysterically."Alright, alright. I won't go over!" Corentin did not dare to take another step further. "Ash, I'm telling the truth. I didn't kill anybody. Come down, and I'll explain to you. It's all a misunderstanding.""Actually, I've felt it was strange since the beginning. It's just that Anne's reassurance dispelled my suspicion about you." Tears filled Ashlynn's eyes, but they did not stream down her face. She looked at Corentin and said, "But I know everything now. I don't have evidence, but you are Salvatore Yeager. At first, I thought you would change for the sake of the child. In the end… In the end, you didn't even spare the child's grandparents. Salvatore, are you even human? Why would a monster like you exist?""Ash, come down, a
After Ashlynn was discharged from the hospital, she called Anne when she was alone in the room."Anne, are you alright? I heard you were taken by Tommy and were later saved by Anthony.""Mmhmm. I'm fine. I've gotten home safely.""That's wonderful," said Ashlynn.Anne could tell that Ashlynn was not feeling alright, so she asked, "What's the matter? Are you not in a good mood?""I've found out about my parent's passing," said Ashlynn.Anne was stunned. She found out? "I'm sorry, Ashlynn. I've kept it hidden from you.""It's fine. I know you're being considerate to me and the child." Ashlynn took a pause before asking again, "Was Tommy killed by you guys?""No. He fled the cruise ship back then. When we found him, he was already killed by somebody. His body was pulled up from the sea.""Corentin was there as well, wasn't he?""That's right. Did he tell you that?"Ashlynn's eyes looked emotionless. "Have you guys ever suspected Corentin?"Anne immediately got so nervous tha
Corentin hugged Ashlynn. "I heard that Tommy's dead, so your parents' murders have been avenged. Now, they can only rest in peace. Calm down."Ashlynn collapsed in his arms as she cried. Then, she started to feel waves of throbbing pain in her belly, and her face turned pale.Corentin noticed something was not right with her, so he hurriedly roared at the driver, "Go to the hospital now!""Hurry up!" Jeremy urged. He held Ashlynn's hand and realized that it was freezing. "Ashlynn, you have to be alright. You still have me! Hang in there, Ashlynn!"Ashlynn looked at him with tears in her eyes. She was extremely saddened. She could not understand why things would end up like that. Did she not deserve to have parents?When Ashlynn woke up, she was already at the hospital.She subconsciously touched her belly, but Corentin grabbed her hand. "You're showing signs of miscarriage, so you need to recuperate."Ashlynn scanned around the room and asked, "Where's Jeremy?""He's outside. H
"I know…" Jeremy looked up and saw Ashlynn standing at the entrance. He was so shocked, and he immediately stood up. "Why…are you here?"Ashlynn stood there dazed. She looked at Jeremy, then the person who spoke earlier. "What do you guys mean when you talk about my parents' soul resting in peace?""Nothing. We were talking about someone else."Ashlynn could tell from their faces that they were clearly panicking. She was not deaf. She heard what they said clearly.Her face turned pale, and she immediately searched for her phone. She did not have it on her, so she rushed to the car."Ashlynn!" Jeremy ran after her and stopped her. "What are you doing?""I'm going to call Mom and Dad.""They are traveling. Don't disturb them."Ashlynn looked at him. "Jeremy, tell me honestly, why aren't Mom and Dad coming home? Don't lie! I have always felt it was strange. Why haven't they come home when I'm already so far along? Something is wrong, isn't it? Did something…really happen to them?"
Corentin came forward and asked, "Anne, are you alright?"Anne nodded."You don't look too well. What happened?""Tommy's dead," said Anthony."Have you found the cure?" asked Corentin.Anne shook her head."Unfortunately, the infected people would have to endure it a little longer."Anne suddenly thought of something, and she immediately pushed Anthony away. "Don't touch me."Only then, Corentin noticed a small patch of ulcer below Anne's cheek. "Anne, did Tommy drug you?"Anthony frowned. "I don't mind.""I do. Both of us would not be able to have contact with the children, and they will worry." Anne rejected his touch.Anthony had been touching her the whole time. It was unclear if he had been infected. Anne was very worried."It wouldn't make a difference now. If anything, I would have already been infected just now," said Anthony.Anne still refused to listen. "That's not necessary. Just don't touch me. We still don't know where the cure is, and Tommy died so suddenly
Just as Tommy finished his sentence, he heard a commotion behind him.Ivan was fighting with the assassin, and every strike he delivered was fatal. If Ivan were not skilled in combat, the professional assassin could have killed him in just a few moves.Tommy realized something was up, so he immediately wanted to grab Anne.While Anne retreated, she was pulled into a person's arms."Let me go!" She thought it was a man she did not know, so she hated to be touched like that."Anne."Anne was stunned. She looked up and felt happy to see a familiar face. "Anthony?""It's me."Tommy was infuriated as he watched the two of them looking lovingly at each other, Tommy became infuriated."As expected, Anne, you did leave a trace for Anthony." Tommy's expression darkened."You're the one who took me too lightly," said Anne.It was because she had always wanted to run away from Anthony in the past that he had the wrong impression, was it not? "So what? You want to kill me? With just t
Anne was drugged at that moment, and there were surveillance cameras all over the cruise ship. She saw a surveillance camera over her head when she was returning to the room. Therefore, it was impossible for her to sneak around in the middle of the night if she wanted to.Tommy had long been guarding against her.However, Anne still left Anthony some clues before she left him. She believed Anthony would find her very soon, but she never expected that he would do it so quickly.At daybreak, she seemed to have heard the rumbling of a helicopter above her. Then, the door swung open. Before Anne could make sense of the situation, she was picked up. "How did you get the message out?" Tommy said. He even searched Anne's body after that."Ah! Are you crazy? I don't have a phone!""Don't think Anthony can take you away just because he's here. If I'm going to hell, I'm dragging you along with me! Let's go!""You…" Anne had no strength, so she was dragged out of the room by him.He thre
Anne ignored him.If she were not afraid that Tommy would pull some tricks behind her back, she would have slept with her back facing him."Do you remember running to my home and sleeping on my bed when Anthony bullied you as a child?"I don't.""I know you do. I truly wanted to help you back then," said Tommy.Anne knew he was speaking the truth, so she did not refute him. She stared at the ceiling and said, "I think the past Tommy died a long time ago."Tommy's expression was mixed, and he asked, "Are we not able to go back anymore?""Instead of asking me this now, you should've gone to hell after you killed the people I cared about. No matter how unhappy your childhood was, you can't hurt others for your own pleasure." At that moment, Anne did not pity Tommy at all."Look at you on your high horse. Has Anthony not killed anybody before? Has Corentin not killed anybody before? Why did you forgive them for killing people but not me? Just because the victims were your friends?
Seeing that she did not move at all, Tommy said, "It won't be good for you if you don't eat."Anne thought that he made sense. If she did not eat, she would go hungry and would have no strength later. How could she fight with Tommy then? It was because she refused to eat and only drank water while hiding in her room that Tommy drugged her.After a while, she seemed to have figured it out.She picked up the fork and started eating the fish.Tommy saw her eating and asked, "How was it?""Could it be that you're the one who made it?" Anne looked up and shot a glance at him lazily."That's correct. I am the one who made it."Anne thought, 'Is this something worthy to be praised?'"It must be tough for you to do such a thing on top of everything else.""If you're worried that it's tough for me, why don't you make it with me?""I don't know how to cook.""How great. You just have to enjoy being served." Tommy clicked his tongue, but he was looking at Anne with a doting gaze.Anne
