'If that's the case, why would Anthony touch me, in the Royal Mansion no less?' She thought, 'I guess he is just sick in the head like that!'She struggled to move her heavy feet toward the Marwood Group to work, feeling glad that she had taken her clothes off ahead of time, or her clothes would have been all ruined by now.She paid close attention to the news throughout the day and in the afternoon, a new update was released concerning the incident that happened in the Pinnacle Academy, after further investigation, it seemed as though the parents of the student who committed suicide had made false accusation because they missed their daughter too much. The parents were given a lecture and the situation was considered resolved just like that, as though everything was just a play.The burden on Anne's chest was lifted, but at the same time, she was terrified by just how powerful Anthony was in Luton.Anne also paid attention to any news about Michelle, and Michelle's collaboration w
Tommy dodge the trash can that was thrown at him and ran toward the elevator, only to watch the door shut right before his eyes.Anne sighed a breath of relief inside the elevator, thinking, 'that was close. He almost caught up. That guy is definitely a psychopath!'Tommy's face twisted as he panted. After a while, he looked up at the surveillance camera above him as though he was staring at someone on the other end of the camera.Just then, Anthony was behind his office desk and to his left was the screen of his computer with the Marwood Group's surveillance feed.He had witnessed everything that had happened next to the elevator and Tommy took one last glance at the camera, before stepping into the elevator.Anthony looked away from the screen with a mysterious look on his face.Anne had wanted to go to Lucas's apartment to visit her children, but refrained in the end.What happened the night before had taken a toll on her body and after a whole day of work, she was desperate
Anne wanted to stay in her apartment even when Sarah managed to buy a bigger home. It was not the worst to cut ties with the Marwood Family, because she knew that she wouldn't be able to stand idly by if anything happened to Sarah."By the way, how are things between you and Lucas?" Sarah asked, "I thought he really likes you?"Anne knew that Sarah had heard from Lucas's mother. "We aren't right for each other, so we aren't in touch anymore.""Why not? He is the principal and the future director of the Pinnacle Academy. He is confident and gentle, definitely the best candidate for a husband.""He's too busy and I don't like that," Anne said, thinking that this ought to be a convincing excuse."You silly girl." Sarah said with disapproval. "You won't find a career-focused man who's not busy. The busier he is, the more successful he gets and the better your life would be. Do you plan on marrying a man who just stays home and does nothing?"Anne might have considered what Sarah was
Anne simply kept quiet because she had no other choice other than trying to escape."Does Anthony hate us that much?" Sarah had lost her appetite and an idea came up as she looked at Anne. "Anne, the next time he lays his hands on you, ask for something. If you can't have him, you ought to at least get something back."Anne was once again reminded how different she was from Sarah."I know that you are proud and can't do that, but if you don't have any money, you won't get anywhere..."Sarah wanted to keep lecturing her, but Anne stood up and said, "I'm going to work."Sarah stared at the door closing before her with a dark expression, thinking to herself, 'what a stubborn girl she is!'Anne went into the subway, feeling drained both physically and mentally.'How can she even suggest that I ask for something in return?' She thought. 'I'd consider myself lucky that Anthony doesn't kill me on the spot if I do that!'Anthony had always known exactly what to do to take full control
Chloe grinned from ear to ear."Mama, come watch us win Daddy!" Charlie shouted."Mama, come!" Chris' face was flushed from the excitement.The two did not dare to take their eyes off the screen, so Anne could tell how much they were struggling, on the other hand, Lucas sat on the couch with his legs crossed and glanced at Anne. "We will be done soon."Anne chuckled, "Carry on. I will watch."She then took a seat on the couch and watched the intensive boxing contest on the television, while Chloe fed the fruits to her brothers and Lucas.She fed them one by one, before offering another piece to her mother again.In the end, Chris and Charlie won, and Lucas managed to make it look as though he did not intentionally lose.Anne had made some coffee for him and he got up. "Let's go to the balcony. You kids carry on."There were chairs and a table on the balcony, so they sat down and admired the night view of the city."I've never played video games with them before," she said wit
Chris stood next to them and said, "I'm curious.""Me, too," Chloe added."In the Archduke Group," Anne said, thinking that there was no need in hiding where their father worked, since they did not know that Anthony was their father, what she did not know was the the triplets had their own plan.The next day, the children arrived back at the apartment on the school bus. When they noticed that the nanny was not by the entrance, they shot one another a look and instantly darted to the other direction as fast as they could.They blended in with the crowd and peered at their surroundings curiously, all the while being shielded by the adults around them and the masks on their faces.A taxi stopped by the road not far from them. Before the customer who got out had the chance to shut the door, the triplets darted into the car.The customer was shocked, especially because the triplets were not accompanied by any adults, but shut the door anyway.The driver turned around in confusion. "W
Seeing how the other two receptionists were still fawning over the triplets, she lowered her voice and tried to warn them. "Hey..."The others didn't hear her and did not notice that something was wrong until Anthony was close enough. They turned around and stood up abruptly, with their bowed.With the receptionist out of the way, Anthony spotted the triplets.Though the triplets had no intention in acknowledging Anthony as their father, they were still slightly excited and all tensed at the sight of Anthony like three anxious little penguins.Anthony stilled for a moment, before walking over to them.The triplets looked up at their father and greeted him with unison. "Hello!""What are you doing here?" He asked expressionlessly."We are lost!" Charlie said."Can you send us home?" Chris requested."Mama can't find us." Chloe sobbed as she looked at Anthony.Anthony scowled, failing to see how that was any of his concern.Three minutes later, the triplets found themselves in
The Rolls Loyce stopped outside the gate of a residential complex."We've arrived!""This is the place!""Thank you, Uncle!"Anthony turned to look at the building before him, noticing that it was the sort of complex that only wealthy people would manage to get in. "I remember that you don't stay here."The first time he had run into the triplets was at the area where Anne lived, which was at a completely different price range compared to the building before him."That is our nanny's place!" Charlie said."We are going to visit our nanny!" Chloe added."Can we get out now?" Chris asked.The car door opened on its own and just like how they got inside, the bodyguard needed to help them out.Anthony simply watched while leaning back leisurely. He was surprised that he managed to tolerate the children for so long despite his lack of patience. It was something that he did not consider possible.Just before the door closed, Chloe turned around and muttered, "Can we...travel in yo
