"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
As long as Anthony protected Bianca, he would predict and control everything in advance, preventing unnecessary accidents. Hence, Anne had not been visiting her kids these days, only communicating with them through video calls just in case Anthony noticed something odd. In the Archduke Group, Oliver entered the office of the highest authority and handed over the information from the private investigator.Anthony flipped to the first page, and his eyes darkened when he saw Lilian's photo."Mr. Marwood, Ms. Vallois is investigating her, and she has a good relationship with Tommy." Oliver thought that things were a little complicated.Why was Anne investigating this person?Oliver was puzzled and asked, "Why did Lilian kill Cheyenne? Could there be something wrong with Ms. Vallois's investigation?" Anthony turned the pages and quickly ran his eyes over the details.His gaze was terrifyingly cold."Get her over." "Yes, Mr. Marwood." Lilian was blocked as soon as she got home.
However, the harder one tried to conceal something, the more it would attract attention. Hence, Tommy simply went directly to the Archduke Group to save Lilian. "Anthony, even if you suspect her, you still need evidence for it, right? Do you think I'll actually kill you? You're my brother!" Anthony sat behind the large desk, exuding a domineering aura, as he stared at Tommy with his eagle eyes. Soon, invisible pressure spread in every corner.A moment later, Anthony finally said, "What are you talking about? Keeping such a dangerous person by your side will only bring problems, just like now. It's easy to implicate you.""Lilian won't kill me. I'm her savior," Tommy argued. "No," Anthony rejected coldly. "Anthony…" Tommy still wanted to say more, but he saw Anthony standing up and approaching him. The powerful oppressive force was getting more intense, making people unable to breathe.Anthony stood in front of him with a wicked expression. "Anyone who wants to kill me wil
"Then do you and Anthony admit what you've all done?" Anne asked, "Since you don't, your words won't convince me.""Suit yourself." Lilian looked away.Anne stood and looked at Lilian, who had fallen into an impasse. In fact, Lilian was just an obedient subordinate, and everything that she had done was instructed. Nevertheless, Lilian's words disrupted Anne's thoughts, sending her into a mess with no clue. So, she found the wrong person?If even Anthony could not get any information from Lilian, would there be other ways?Oliver walked over and said, "Ms. Vallois, Mr. Marwood wants to meet you."Anne followed Oliver to Anthony's office. Even though she had mentally prepared herself, Anne was still tense, and her breathing was unsteady as she was about to meet that powerful man. Especially when the man stared at her directly, it felt as if his gaze could pierce through her, causing her to feel weak and fall. "How did you figure out that you need to investigate that woman?"
