Anthony's relationship with her was not that simple. She doubted if she was even qualified to be his lover. Now she has neither money nor anyone close to her. "I was also greedy. The person in charge of the bar told me that there would be a lot of tips in Mr. Marwood's box, so I went. If I didn't go, I wouldn't have caused you so much trouble," Lucia said. "No." Anne wanted to change the subject. "Do you still go to the bar at night?" "Yes, my mother has taken all my salary. I can't even pay for my living expenses. If I go to a bar, I get cash. At least I will be able to eat." Lucia was rather attractive, and she was well-spoken, but Anne was still a little worried about her. "The bar is a mess. Have you thought about changing to another job?" "I've thought about it, but I'll take it slow! Life will never be too bad if I try my hardest," Lucia said optimistically. Anne nodded. "Indeed." Working hard toward a goal...very inspirational indeed. Sarah came to her area wit
Where were the children? She told the children that the key was under the flowerpot, and if Mama were not home, they could open the door by themselves. Sarah came out with the dishes. "Why are you standing there in a daze? Go wash your hands. Dinner is ready." Anne was in no mood to eat. If the children had not returned, what should she do when they came back later? They would have to meet with Sarah head-on. "Aunt, how did you get in?" Anne asked. "Of course, I came in with the key under the flowerpot!" Sarah said. Sarah thought about making a phone call to the school. At this time, she wanted to prevent the children from meeting her aunt... However, before she could, the screen changed. It was Lucas's call. She went to the balcony to answer. "Hello?" "Are you at home?" "Yes, what's the matter?" Anne asked. "The children are at my house," Lucas said. "Why are they at your house?" Anne lowered her voice. "Is there someone in your family?" "Yes, my aunt is
"By the way, three children knocked on your door just now," Sarah said. Anne's hand holding the utensils trembled, and her expression tensed. Did they? Did she see their faces? "It's the three children your mother was babysitting. Strange, why are they here?" Sarah asked. "They went to the wrong floor, probably!" "Yes, the children said that they went to the wrong door. I don't understand why the kids' parents have the money to hire your mom as a babysitter but live in such a broken-down apartment! Perhaps it's because your mother doesn't charge them much," Sarah spoke bluntly. Anne was silent, thinking about her children. They sure did some quick thinking. However, how would they get in touch with Lucas? Did they know Lucas's number? Anyway, with such smart children, she could rest assured knowing they would be able to fend for themselves. "By the way, you have to find some time to go on a date with Lucas!" Sarah was very excited. "No, I don't think I'm worthy of
"By the way, how did the three of them contact you?" Anne asked. "They borrowed someone else's phone," Lucas said. Anne smiled helplessly, not knowing what to say in response. The three little ones not only remembered Lucas's phone number but also borrowed a phone from a stranger to make the call. She never taught them any of that. The only thing she taught them was to call 911 if they were in any kind of danger. "They are very smart, and if you train them well, they will achieve great heights in the future," Lucas praised the children. Anne felt relieved and happy. "I will, I definitely will." After hanging up the phone, Anne lay on the bed in a daze. After thinking about it, she took out her mobile phone to check the location of Anthony. Anthony was still in the Archduke Group. She did not care where he was as long as he was not near her. Anthony's appearance last time was very unexpected. She constantly reminded herself to check Anthony's location, but he s
"Then..." "It's up to you." Anne was stunned, and Anthony hung up the phone. Did that mean she could go? Since when did she have so much freedom? Anthony threw the phone aside, his face was indifferent and his black eyes like a falcon's. "Is there any news from the police station?" "No," Oliver said. Every time he made a phone call, the entire police station panicked, and the investigators were under enormous pressure to find the murderer. However, there were still no useful clues. Anthony's black eyes were as dark as ink. "Assassination at the manor, Cheyenne's death, if I'm not mistaken, they were done by the same person." Oliver was shocked. "How are they related? Do you want to put the blame on Mr. Marwood and worsen the relationship between you and Miss Vallois? Are you sure you want to do that?" Anthony sneered. "They're coming for me." Oliver's expression changed. "The Marwood family…?" "I'm going to the banquet," Anthony instructed. Oliver nodded. "O
Tommy was wearing a straight suit, looking casual and indifferent, while looking at her with a queer expression on his face.Anne turned her gaze elsewhere. That was no longer the gentle Tommy she knew. She would probably leave after giving Elder Marwood her presents. Of course, Sarah had prepared the gift for her. Anne really could not come up with a valuable gift that could fit the Marwood family. She was not raised in a wealthy family, so she did not know which presents were appropriate and which were not. The guests laughed and chatted over tea and coffee. Sarah was happily chatting with the other guests about things only the rich knew about. Anne was recommended by Sarah to the other guests. Anne could only smile politely. "We haven't seen Anne for many years. She's getting more and more beautiful!" "You look just like your aunt!" "You look so beautiful. There must be many suitors pursuing you, right?" "Do you have a boyfriend?" Sarah hurriedly said, "
This familiar feeling made Anne's expression change. When Tommy raised his eyes and looked at her, Anne anxiously reached out and pushed Tommy away. "Go away!" Tommy was pushed back several steps, frowning at Anne, who was full of anger. "I won't leave Luton. This is my home. Why do you want me to leave? Please stay away from me!" Anne said angrily, then turned around. Her footsteps stopped suddenly, panicking as if she had just discovered something. Anthony stood tall and straight, like a beast that suddenly appeared in the dark forest, locking on his prey. He gave her quite a startle. Tommy recovered his composure, stepped forward, and passed by Anne's side. "Bro, I thought you wouldn't come! I'm so surprised!" Anthony looked indifferent and did not speak. Tommy got his cue and left. Anne stepped forward. "When did you arrive?" "Does that bother you?" Anne frowned slightly, her beautiful face pure in the sunlight. "No. Thank you for coming. Otherwise, I don't kn
She looked at Anthony and then the others. Why was he doing this? It was her aunt's duty to decide this for her, not his. Anne's mind flashed through a couple of scenarios. Elder Marwood looked at Anthony with cloudy but shrewd eyes and asked Ron, "What's going on?" "I think Anthony likes Anne very much. Otherwise, they won't be together. Besides, Anthony is not young, and it's time for him to start a family." Ron looked at Anthony with a look of fear on his face but still said in front of everyone, "Today is Grandpa's birthday. Let's make this happen!" "What makes you think you can decide that for me?" Anthony asked with a calm and indifferent expression. "Since you are here, it means that you belong to the Marwood family. Don't deny it. The blood of the Marwood family is flowing in your body!" Ron tried to convince Anthony. Anthony's dark eyes flashed with mockery. "What if I don't marry?" He did not deny his relationship with Anne. Anne's face burned with panic and
