Anne remained silent. She was indeed swayed, but she did not expect that Lilian would be someone who would not give in even under torture. Tommy's phone rang, and he picked up after glancing at the caller. "Hello?""I-I'm at the hospital now." Lilian's voice was strained. "Anthony released you?""Well, he didn't have proof, so he could only guess," Lilian replied. "Rest well. I'll visit you tonight." Tommy hung up, tossed the phone onto the table, and looked at Anne. "Anthony had let Lilian go, but this is such an annoying blunder.""If there's nothing else, I'll get back to work." Anne turned around. Tommy's voice sounded from behind, "Even though I want to use Cheyenne's death to stir your relationship with Anthony, it truly has nothing to do with me."Anne stopped in her tracks but did not say anything more and left. She really did not know whether she should believe him. There was no evidence, but it was the truth. That gave her a massive headache.Most importantly
Who the hell was the one being a pain in the neck? Everything between her and Anthony was forced! It was unavoidable!If Anne could, she would love to take the children and disappear! Anne walked out of the cafe angrily. However, a car rushed out from the side and slammed into her just as she was about to cross the road."Ah!" Anne could not dodge in time and fell. The car window rolled down, showing Bianca's spiteful expression. "Look where you're going! Otherwise, you might be hit!" Anne watched as the car drove away, and it took a while for colors to return to her pale face. However, she had scraped her elbow on the ground, and it was hurting. Anne lifted her sleeve and saw a huge abrasion on her hand, oozing blood. Thankfully, there was no other issue. Anne knew that Bianca was just warning her. Otherwise, she would have been dead from the hit. Nonetheless, Bianca was just trying to frighten Anne. After all, scandals about a piano master being a killer was also bad fo
It felt as if the time to deal with the wound was really long, and even the air was strange. To ease the awkwardness, Anne said, "Anthony agreed to let me leave Luton."The hand holding the cotton swab froze, but it swiftly continued to wipe the wound. "You want to leave?""Yes. It's not wise for the children to stay here. He'll find out…" Anne looked down and replied.In truth, Anne would not stay in Luton even if she did not have the triplets. At most, she would not go abroad as the chances of bumping into each other were lower if she were in different cities. "Are you going abroad?" Lucas asked."...Yes." Anne answered.Lucas did not say more, stopping abruptly as if he were reserving his own opinion. Then, he opened an adhesive bandage, plastered it on Anne's wound, and reminded her, "Make sure it doesn't get wet for these two days.""Okay." Anne rolled down her sleeve. "Thank you…""When do you plan to leave?" Lucas asked as he sent her away.Anne was caught off guard.
Anne, who no longer yearned for a mother's love, was not moved by the act and quietly drew back her hand.Sarah did not seem to mind her indifference. Instead, she happily shared, "I'm divorced!"Anne looked at Sarah, puzzled. Was a divorce something worth celebrating?She must have… gotten quite a large sum of money. "I got this much…" Sarah showed two fingers. "And also a mansion."Just as Anne expected."Anne, don't stay here anymore. Move to the mansion with me and find another nanny! Your life will be so much more comfortable!" Sarah said, "No matter how Ron begs me, I'll never return! Did he think I was not aware of his plans? He wants to make a clean break with me as soon as possible to be on good terms with Anthony. Especially when he finds out that Anthony is ignoring you and has Bianca, Ron insists on divorcing me even if it'll cost him a fortune!" Indeed.With Anne's current situation, smart people would only quickly dissociate themselves from her. Otherwise, they
Anne could not help but feel a little awkward. "Good morning.""Morning."After Anne entered, the triplets jumped onto her and adorably called out to their Mama. Since they had not had breakfast yet, the five of them ate together. Sitting at the dining table, Chris asked, "Mama, are you worried about something?""Huh?" Anne was taken aback by the question and looked at Lucas.Lucas acted as if it had nothing to do with him, and there was a hint of a bystander's excitement in his gaze. "Mama, you don't seem like you've had a good sleep," Chloe said. "Did someone bully you, Mama?" Charlie's adorable face showed dominance."No. I slept really well last night." Anne touched her face.She could not help thinking if it was that obvious. Even though Anne said that, the triplets still stared at her with their eyes wide open. Perhaps they were suspicious about their Mama's words, or maybe they doubted their eyes. "Let's eat." Anne worried they would ask more, so she hurriedly
What kind of man would pick a girl like her?"Besides, it'll cause you trouble..." Her concerns were not unfounded, and Anthony's actions had already proven that."I want to protect you." The answer stunned Anne, and the wall in her heart was impacted and crumbled. When they were some distance away from the company, Anne got out of the car.After watching Lucas's car pull into the traffic, Anne walked toward the company. She obviously wanted to reject him, but she could not say anything to refuse him when she faced him.'I want to protect you.'The words had entranced her. Anne did not believe she was strong, but she had no choice because of her parents. Did…Lucas see through her frailty? Anne also hoped for someone to become her backbone, but the thought of Anthony made her tremble.Not long after Anne entered the Finance Department, her phone rang. Then, Anne opened the text message and saw the picture from Lucas.It was a picture of the three children having fun in
Anne thought, "No wonder I found Charmaine talking about how her husband was not at home outside the toilet the other day. So this was the reason." Charmaine did not show up the entire afternoon, and she only returned to the Finance Department when it was almost time to get off work. She stared at Anne with hatred and said, "Anne, come to my office."Anne went."You did this, right?" Charmaine asked."What?" Anne appeared innocent."Why are you still acting innocent? The matter on the company internal forum—Besides you, there's no one else!" Charmaine shouted. "Ms. Turner, you should first reflect on why you did illegal things instead of investigating the person who leaked the matter," Anne replied calmly. Then, she left the office, ignoring Charmaine's rage. The situation was serious, and the shareholders' meeting was held the next morning.Anne became tense when she heard from her colleagues that the head of Archduke Group was coming. Anthony was here…It would not
Looking past Tommy's shoulders and met those cold, obsidian eyes. Anne's face changed dramatically, and she pushed Tommy away.Tommy pretended just to notice Anthony, and he laughed. "Anthony, it's you. Don't mind us. We can't help ourselves." "Tommy, you're also a person of status. This type of woman will only embarrass you and bring misfortune to the Marwood family. Your dad is the best example," Anthony said coldly. On the surface, it seemed as if he was lecturing Tommy, but every word was actually belittling and humiliating Anne. "Yes, I got it." Tommy smiled, always acting like the obedient younger brother.However, Anne knew he was a vile person. "If I catch you acting like this again, none of you can stay in Marwood Group anymore." Anthony left after warning them. The cold gaze swept over, and Anne shuddered as she suddenly felt chilly. The pressure in the air finally turned to normal when Anthony disappeared into the elevator. Anne did not want to talk to Tomm
