"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
"I'm here today and have something to announce." Elder Marwood looked around at his son and grandson before saying, "The ten percent of the shares in my hands will be passed on to Anthony." Damian and Tommy account for the largest portion of the shares in the Marwood family business, and they have exactly the same amount. No matter who Elder Marwood's shares are given to, the person would be securing the leadership of the Marwood family. If Elder Marwood's shares were given to Anthony, although there were not as many as they had, they would lose the chance to become the leader of the company! There was no expression on Anthony's face, letting off a regal aura. Ron and his wife were surprised. Tommy narrowed his eyes slightly, unable to see through his thoughts. "Dad, are you serious?" Damian could not hold back himself and asked. "Do you think I'm joking?" Elder Marwood was serious. "Tommy has shared as well, you are all my grandchildren, and no one should be left out."
"Say that again." Anthony's expression was terrifying. Anne's face was pale, and her heart was pounding. "Why did you push me? You're a lunatic!" She was humiliated in the living room just now, and now he was pushing her? She was almost scared to death! Seeing Anthony approaching her, Anne panicked. "What are you doing? I'm correct, aren't I?" There was no way to retreat. The next second, Anthony grabbed her shoulders and pulled her toward him. As she tilted his head, Anthony's face loomed in front of her. His breath gushed onto her face. "You have some guts, don't you?." His breath was hot, but Anne felt chilled to the bone. "That's not my intention. I don't want to marry you at all. If I knew something like this would happen today, I would never have come here." Anthony looked at her magnanimous face. His black eyes suddenly became cold, and he pushed her back and let go of her hand. Anne sorted out her emotions and asked, "Are you unhappy?" Anthony glanced at
