"You don’t know? Did she really lie to me?" Gregory was angered, "Are you really not going to give me the money?""Answer my question, who did you kidnap?!" Anne was impatient to answer his question. She just wanted to know who Gregory got involved with."Bianca, the one who can play the piano. I've tied her up and taught her a lesson. It's time to send me the money now, right?"Once she heard Bianca's name, Anne's face turned ghostly white. Her legs were weak, and she almost fell to the ground. She finally found her voice again, "Where are you? I'll send you the money.""Alright, alright!" The ignorant Gregory nodded in agreement happily.In his eyes, only money was the most important.He cared about nothing else.After he was able to sell his own daughter and walk away without looking back, Anne already saw through her biological father clearly.Even after she was being sold, there were ways to survive.However, if Bianca was kidnapped…Anne no longer dared to imagine the c
Anthony hugged her. "It's alright. Those who hurt you can't get away."When Anne heard this, her whole body went cold.Seeing Anthony holding Bianca up, his falcon-like black eyes swept toward Anne.At that moment, Anne felt her heartbeat stop.Anthony took out his gun and pointed it straight at Gregory.The latter did not have time to react. With a bang, and another bang, the bullets went into Gregory.Gregory slumped to the ground after letting out a shriek, and then he moved no more."Ah!" Anne was so frightened that she backed away. Her pupils shrank from the sight of blood flowing on the ground. Her breathing went frantic but she still felt suffocated.She looked at Anthony, and when her eyes met with his cold black ones, tears rolled down uncontrollably.She could not believe that Anthony would really shoot and kill.It was her biological father that he killed…At that moment, her heart seemed to sink into the icy river. She could not tell if the trembling body was out
"What?" Sarah turned pale and panicked. "Th-This is just a little lesson that I had Gregory teach Bianca to stop her from bullying you. I never had him kidnap her!"Anne was mentally and physically drained and had lost her cool of how her parents were the death of her.Bianca was having a hard time finding fault with her.Her parents had given her a good reason now, and surely Bianca was more than pleased by it.This way, Anthony would drive her away in a fit of anger, just right up Bianca's alley!"What's going on now? Is Gregory really dead? Are you sure?" Sarah asked.When Anne looked up, she could see how happy her mother was."It's great that he's dead! Just when we were worried about how to get rid of him! Anne, he can no longer threaten us anymore!" Sarah rejoiced.Sarah could not believe how she could say such a thing. She staggered backward as though she had recalled something and asked, "Did you get someone else to do your dirty work?""I admit I really wanted to use
"No." Tommy did not give her an option to leave.Anne gnashed her teeth. "What do I need to do to leave?""That's not something for me to tell you," Tommy responded and hung up the phone.His response had Anne pacing back and forth in a fit of rage.She dared not leave without his permission, so she had to stay in Luton.What would happen if Anthony discovered she had left?So long as she kept an eye on Anthony's tracker and avoided him, she should be safe.No way! As long as she continued to stay in Luton, she would definitely be discovered!Not to mention that she was working at Marwood Group!She held her head and tried to calm herself down.Anthony's statement implied that the timeline would always be valid!Thus, all she had to do now was settle the issue with Tommy, and she could leave.H-However, how should she settle it?Anne simply went straight to Tommy's condo.He was woken up and could not go back to sleep. Shortly after taking a shower, he received a call fro
It was important for Anne to look for a private investigator in addition to spending time with her kids during her two days offShe went to the private investigator personally after getting in touch with them.Anne made it clear to them the kind of person the target of the investigation was and not to let the target find out about it.The private investigator accepted the job without saying a word.Money was spent, but to determine the cause of Cheyenne's death, she had to went all out.It was also why she stayed by Anthony's side for the time being.On Monday, she went to Marwood Group to work as usual.She felt nervous.As Anthony would discover, not only did she not leave Luton, but she had also remained in Marwood Group. Anthony arrived at the office in the morning and stood by the edge of his desk, his tall figure slightly hunched over to stare at the computer screen next to him.The screen was black.He tapped on the keyboard with his slender fingers and saw Anne's fi
However, Tommy was oblivious and seemed genuinely earnest.Damian could not butt in even if he wanted to because the atmosphere was tense."Moreover, haven't you given up on her?" Tommy asked.Anthony's face was cold, and his eyes were dark and solemn. The atmosphere in the room was at a freezing point.After a while, he stood up and left the room.Only then did Damian breathe a sigh of relief, as he had almost suffocated from the atmosphere just now.Ron’s complexion was pale, and he left the room after calming himself down.Only then did Damian have the opportunity to scold his son, "What's wrong with you? Are you going against Anthony for a woman like Anne Vallois?""Weren't you the one who had me go against him?" Tommy said nonchalantly.This enraged Damian. "I had you to compete with him in terms of career and not for a loose woman that he had dumped!""Though I really do...have a thing for her." Tommy's eyes had an inexplicable smile."What..." Damian was infuriated. "
Anthony's cold inky-black eyes hardened, making it impossible to guess what was going through his mind."I promise! I will stay in Luton obediently and go about my business without showing my face before you and Bianca while I investigate Cheyenne's death," short of nearly raising her hands to swear on it. She lowered her gaze after she finished. "My dad had already ended up in this situation, so no one will pull anything stupid anymore..."She was anxious that Anthony would disagree with it.However, for what reason did he have to agree with it?His Bianca might get hurt if she was permitted to continue staying in Luton.How to forcibly drove her out of Luton…"Get out," said Anthony in a deep and intimidating voice.Anne's heart skipped a beat, looking up at Anthony with bewildered eyes. "Did you finally agree to let me stay?""Get lost before I change my mind." Anthony's eyes were dark and solemn.Anne jolted and hurriedly got out of the car.She watched the Rolls Loyce of
She looked up in confusion.Charmaine said collectedly, "work overtime tonight and enter the data for the second half of the year into the system.""Am I doing this alone?" Anne asked."Is there a problem with it?" Charmaine asked solemnly, "Anne, although you haven't been in the finance department for long, I can see that you are very serious about your work and have never made any mistakes. I believe you have a bright future ahead of you. Who knows, you might be promoted to be my right-hand man in another month?"Anne could only keep it in her heart, even though she knew Charmaine was making things hard for her and making things up.Anne worked overtime in the office alone to sort out the data.It was 9 p.m., and Anne still had not left office.The first day was so, and the subsequent days were as well. She had to work overtime every day.It was done in the name of career development.This prompted her colleague to view her in a different light.They were gossiping behind h
