"Hmm!" Anne could not help but frown."Don't be scared. I will not tell Anthony about this," Tommy looked at her. "To be frank, I am surprised, and I did not expect you to hook up this early. The point is, Anthony is not aware of this?"Anne knew that she could not hide this any longer. No matter how scared she was, she would need to figure a way out of this. At least the person who knew about it was not Anthony. She could still salvage the situation. Her breath was slightly short, but her eyes were calm. "What are you going to do? Blackmail me with this?""We will tackle Anthony together. What do you think?" Tommy looked like he was half smiling. "What?" Anne was surprised. "Aren't you… Brothers?""Cousins." Tommy corrected her. In other words, they were not that close. Anne's immediate response was to reject him. Defying Anthony would seem like a suicidal move. However, she knew that this was not something that Tommy wanted to hear. "How… How do you plan to tackle
Anthony finished his meal and walked out of the restaurant. Next to him was the gorgeous Bianca. The dark pair of eyes swept past as though it was covered with a layer of ice, making people feel uneasy about it. Anne was scared and pulled her gaze back. She sat up. Her spine was almost as straight as a ruler. "He left. Don't mind him. As I said, he only has eyes for Bianca now. There's no place for you." Tommy looked at the pair that left, unbothered. Anne looked at him coldly and said in a soft voice, "You did this on purpose!"Tommy did not attempt to hide his intention at all. "Don't you want to see? What is Anthony's reaction? What kind of reaction do you wish for from him?"Anne looked down and pondered. That was true.If Anthony ignored her no matter what she did, then how far was she from herself then?It would probably not take long, not even half a year. More accurately, perhaps staying in Luton would be safe. Of course, she had a secret to hide. No matter ho
The cool breeze brushed their faces, spreading the cold all over their body. The strong light shone through, chasing away the darkness.Anne instinctively blocked her eyes, turned, and ran away. Instead of heading to the residential area, she headed to the opposite side of the road. Her way was blocked by the bodyguard. She turned around, and the human figure walked toward her with his back facing the light. His face was dark, and she could not see him clearly. However, she knew who that was. Anne swallowed her saliva. The closer he got, the more terrified she felt. She felt as though she was going to piss herself wet any time soon. "What are you doing?" Anthony got close and said in his intimidating voice. "We are not doing anything… at all!" Before Anne could finish, her face was ferociously pinched by Anthony. "Are you sure?" Anthony asked. Anne bit her lips. She felt as though her chin was shattering under his grip already.Not that she was not sure, but she j
Anthony suddenly approached her, so she turned and ran away."Ah!" Her neck was grabbed from behind, it hurt, and Anne cried out in pain. The next moment, she was thrown onto the couch. "Ah!"Anne wanted to run away again, but her ankle was locked by his big palm, and she was dragged backward. "Ah! No…" Anne waved her two hands, intending to get hold of the pillows that would not help. The pillows rolled to the floor as if they were giving up on her too. When she realized what Anthony wanted to do to her, she desperately asked, "Do you not feel sorry to do this to Bianca?"Anthony's hand paused. Anne was panting, and her heart almost heaped out of her chest. Did it work?That should be it! Why would he do this to another woman if he had a person he liked?This was not normal! Obviously, Anthony was not a normal person. He was insane! Anthony lifted his gaze, and his hawk eyes were dark and sharp. He did not flinch. His lips snickered, "You are comparing yourself to h
"Are you scared now?" Tommy looked at her, using reverse psychology. "The more he wished for you not to appear, the more that you should be appearing before him. Who knows, one day he would be annoyed enough to kick you out of Luton?"Anne was not triggered but looked straight at him. "If Anthony really wanted me to get out of Luton, can I really leave then?"In other words, Tommy was still holding her secret in his hands. It was still subject to him.Otherwise, once she left and Tommy informed Anthony about the kids, Anthony would catch her no matter where on the planet she was on. Then she could really go to heaven earlier."You don't understand me. If he ever lets you leave, I will let go of you too," Tommy said.Anne looked at him doubtfully. Based on her previous experiences, this looked more like a trap."I know you don't believe me, but I am telling the truth." Tommy's eyes looked extra sincere."What do you want?" Anne was not naively buying it. Tommy came with intention
Without another word, she followed Michelle out.Outside the corridor, Michelle took her sunglasses off and questioned, "Do you know Bianca Faye?"Anne nodded. "What does that have to do with me?""Of course, it's related to you! I thought you liked Anthony?" Michelle mocked, "I used to think that he liked you, so I didn't think you would be replaced so soon!""I will tell you this again: he doesn't like me, he just... wants to torture me because of my aunt," Anne argued because she knew for a fact that Anthony did not 'like' her."Is that so?" Michelle crossed her arms smugly and said, "I already told Bianca that you have slept with him for god knows how many times!"Anne's expression darkened. "What did you just say?""I finished filming the movie and went home to Anthony to find that woman talking to him about pianos! Oh, that's right. I heard that she's some famous pianist overseas or something. To me, whoever tries to take Anthony from me is my enemy!" She scanned Anne up a
A burning sensation instantly spread across her cheek. As soon as she managed to balance herself, she shot Michelle an icy glare."How... How can you just hit people like that?" Lucia questioned sharply."Who are you to interfere?" Michelle mocked.Humiliated, Lucia bit her lip in silence.Michelle walked closer to Anne in rage. "I hit you, but so what? I wish I could just kill you! I wouldn't be swarmed by all these negative comments about me if you hadn't posted those photos of me! Anne Vallois, good for you!""I have nothing to do with it." Anne's hand dropped, and the palm print on her cheek came into sight."Nothing to do with you? Who else knows about me getting surgery? You should at least own up to what you did! I knew sl*ts like you have no sense of decency or virtues whatsoever!" Michelle pointed her finger at Anne's nose, and just before her finger was about to come into contact with Anne's face, she shoved Michelle away forcefully.Not expecting the sudden movement,
"You can go to the human resource department to get your salary for this month. They will calculate the commission for your sales in the past month as well.""Thank you." Without protesting at all, she left the manager's office before heading to the human resources department.She knew well enough that protesting would not mean a thing. Without Anthony's protection, she could receive three hundred complaints and still remain in the clinic. He had told her not to appear before him again, so he did not see a point in providing her a job any longer.Without another word, Anne received every penny of her salary and left after informing her team leader and Lucia. Both of them were shocked, but neither could help her.Anne did not have much to pack from work, so she left and got onto the subway that took her home. She glanced at the subway route and got off in the city center.She had just received sixty thousand dollars from her company, so she intended to buy her children something be
