"Twisted mind," Anthony commented.Anne glanced at Anthony in surprise, thinking, 'He's actually saying someone else mentally twisted…'Anne knew all too well what type of terrifying person Anthony was before. Not to say he was normal now, but he could restrain himself,Just as she was thinking that, Anthony grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto his strong thighs, hugging her sideways. "What are you thinking about?" Anthony's hoarse voice was magnetic and carried a scorching temperature as if it could burn others."N-Nothing. I was just wondering how to deal with Tommy. Now that he has been exposed, will he break off his relationship with us?" Anne frowned. "Why did he kill Yuri? It's too much..."If Tommy had not killed Yuri, Anne could still forgive him, but it was impossible now. Initially, Anne thought she would not allow Tommy and Anthony to kill each other as they were related by blood. However, she no longer knew what to do after witnessing Tommy's cruelty… "You de
Anne glanced at Anthony, but she could not tell what he was thinking as he appeared indifferent, and his eyes were sharp and terrifying."'I'm glad that you're fine. I'm sorry. I didn't expect my enemy to target you," Anne apologized.It was two entirely different matters, and Lucia did nothing wrong. Lucia smiled widely. "This just shows how good our relationship is. Otherwise, they wouldn't have kidnapped me. But, it was terrifying, and I thought I wouldn't come back."As she spoke, she glanced at Anthony a few times, seemingly unintentional, yet she was actually probing."Let's go for a walk outside?" Anne said to Lucia. Then, she looked at Anthony, hoping he was okay with it."...Sure." Lucia was reluctant because she wanted to be with Anthony, even if it was just a look. Nonetheless, she could not reject Anne since Anthony did not object.After going out, the two walked for a while without talking. The incompatible atmosphere did not make them seem like good friends, no
Anne looked at the hand holding her, full of eagerness and pleading. This put her in a difficult situation.Then again…was it really difficult for her to decide? With matters like feelings, how could she help?Moreover, that person was Anthony. Anne was completely unwilling. Let alone that Lucia was her friend, even if she was Anne's own sister, this was completely unreasonable. Lucia thought Anne would surely agree as there was no reason to disagree. They had known each other for so long and had a good relationship, so this little help should be doable. Unexpectedly, Anne gradually withdrew her hand from her grip.Then, she heard Anne saying, "I'm sorry, but I can't help you with this. If Anthony likes you, it doesn't matter how much I try to stop him, and vice versa." "How do you know he doesn't like me?" Lucia was sure that Anthony had feelings for her. Otherwise, he would not have kept her around for the past two years.Anne had to burst her fantasy and said, "You should
When Anthony let Anne go, she could not think straight and just stared at him with watery eyes.Her heart was beating so fast that she felt like it could jump out of her chest.Anthony's fingers gently stroked her flushed delicate face, and his black eyes were filled with emotion.He did not say anything but just stared into Anne's eyes as if he could do so forever. However, Anne could not bear Anthony's oppressive stare, so she lowered her gaze slightly.Could she refuse Anthony's term of endearment?Then again…she was his wife, and it was just natural and justifiable for him to call her that. Anne thought of countless ways to refuse, yet she could not say a word. "What are you thinking about? Hmm?" Anthony's face moved closer, cupping her face. He did not like it when she avoided him. Anthony's sharp and deep gaze seemed to penetrate directly into her body and soul, making Anne's body tremble slightly."You can tell me anything." Anthony noticed that Anne was still
"You're finally awake?" The hoarse and sexy voice sounded.After Anne regained consciousness, her mind gradually became clearer. However, she was still blushing and feeling embarrassed. She wanted to get out of Anthony's arms, but Anthony held her tighter.Anne's face turned even redder. She did not know how many times she died last night."Are you hungry?" Anthony asked.Anne thought about it. After the strenuous exercise last night, she was surprised that she did not feel hungry.Just as she was in a daze, Anthony had already gotten out of bed.The main point was he was naked. When Anne saw the sexy and perfect body, she quickly imagined the cruel look on Anthony's face when his muscles were tensed. This made her heart beat faster, and she turned her burning face to the side. Anthony seemed to sense it and looked back at Anne's reaction. Soon, he smiled lightly and chose not to wear clothes. Then, he walked out of the bedroom and came in just like that.Anne heard the move
The safest place in the world was beside Anthony.Tommy could never defeat Anthony in the first place, so he would definitely be caught.Anne was calm. She wanted to solve all problems and be Anthony's wife, not his sister. She was the mother of the triplets, and she was not the weakling who wanted to escape.After the meal, the servants had just put away the tableware when a woman walked in.Anne was stunned when she found it was Kathryn.Kathryn was like an old friend, and Anne naturally remembered her. Anne and Kathryn looked at each other and smiled.However, Anne was confused. "Who is sick?"Kathryn was a doctor and was definitely not here to see her. At least not at the Royal Mansion.Anthony held Anne's wrist tightly and said, "Take a blood test to check your body."Anne was even more puzzled. Why did she have to check her body?She said, "I'm feeling fine."Even though Anne was drugged by Tommy before, the effect was relieved by Anthony's horrifying physical st
Just as Anne was looking eagerly at the children on the campus, Anthony grabbed her waist and carried her into the car.The car door closed with a bang."W-What are you doing?" Anne sat on Anthony's lap uncomfortably, slightly blushing."There are still a few minutes. No rush." Anthony put his arms around her waist, acting really flirty. There were times when Anne and Anthony were like this before, but the mood was completely different.Sitting on Anthony's muscular thighs and feeling the burning heat of great power could make her heart beat unsteadily.This man surely did not waste time…"I'm going down…" Anne wanted to get up but could not as the hands around her waist were overpowering."Anthony…mmf!" Anne's little mouth was possessed and swallowed.Their scorching breath entangled together.Anne was trapped in Anthony's broad chest, imprisoned and kissed."Don't…do this…" Anthony did not care about Anne's reminder at all. He only had Anne in his eyes.If it were
"Where does it hurt?" Anne thought that Lucia had psychological trauma from being abducted by Tommy. "Why don't you go see a psychiatrist? I'll reimburse the money. After all, I caused this.""I don't need a psychiatrist. It's a skin ulcer, and I think you might have to take a look for yourself."Lucia sounded helpless.Anne did not say anything, being slightly alert."Don't you believe me?" Lucia asked. "We're good friends, and I won't lie to you…it's really uncomfortable…or should I take a photo for you?"After hanging up the phone, Anne received a photo from Lucia. The skin on her hand and part of her face festered. When Anne zoomed in, she found pus. It was simply disgusting.Anne had been in the Tianya Group for several months and had already understood some of the methods inside thoroughly. Hence, she could tell at a glance that this was Tianya's self-made poison. Anyone could consume it unknowingly, and this kind of skin ulcer symptoms would appear. Moreover, it was also
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
