Anne closed her eyes subconsciously, and then she felt the cool antiseptic being sprayed on her forehead.A strange feeling rose from within her heart.Anthony was really applying medicine on her.But why? In the video, it really did appear that she pushed Bianca.Logically, Anthony should be torturing her now!This man was really extraordinarily elusive.Although she was wronged, Anthony might not believe her. However, she still tried to clear up her name in this calm atmosphere, "What I said is true. I didn't push Bianca. She wanted to see me. The box in the video had my passport and ID card in it, and they had been cut into pieces. You can go back and see if those things are still there to know if I lied."The shadow before her eyes moved away.Anne saw that Anthony picked his phone up and made a call, "Go and see if Anne's passport and ID card are in the study drawer." After hanging up the phone, his sharp and black eyes looked at Anne. "You're lying or not, we're about to
Anthony looked at her without saying a word, as if he was waiting for her to speak first.Anne found herself ridiculous. What was there to care about anyway, the one half naked here was not herself.Even though she thought so, Anthony's overly sturdy and muscular physique still made her look away."I never thought about fighting Bianca." Anne stabilized her emotions and said, "You said before that I should get out of Luton, right? I'll leave tomorrow. But before I leave, can you remove the things online? I don't want to get that look everywhere I go.""Are you negotiating with me?" Anthony's face was cold."It's not that I want to negotiate, but if I don't leave, it will only be more troublesome in the future. I believe that you don't want your Bianca to be hurt, right?" Anne could only bring up the person he cared to make him agree."Are you threatening me?" Anthony's voice suddenly fell.The oppressive air flow made her difficult to breathe.The suffocating silence was interr
What was in his mind?She was inconvenient now, so why did Anthony want her to sleep together?He would not want to do so forcibly, would he?Besides, Anthony did not say anything about helping her to remove the internet posts.She would have never come to beg him if it was not for the sake of her children.Anne thought perhaps it was better to speak softly?"How long are you going to stand? Go take a shower." Anthony walked out of the cloakroom, already in his pajamas, exuding strong aura.Anne recovered and walked to the bathroom.There was a rustling of water in the bathroom.Anthony found that the door was not closed.Anne stood under the shower, drenched and alluring.She turned to glance at the slit of the unclosed bathroom door.Anne did not expect Anthony to come in.Maybe in Anthony's eyes, she was more like a clown.However, as long as a clown like her still had her worth, she could always give it a try…After Anne took a bath, she only wrapped a bath towel aro
Bianca was so angry that she smashed her phone against the steering wheel and she dropped it on the footpads.Why must she seduce her man? Was it her purpose all along?Bianca's eyes were brimming with hatred!Anne did not sleep well at night because of something in her mind. She was woken up by the sound of water.When she opened her eyes, Anthony was nowhere to be seen, but she heard the sound of water splashing in the bathroom.Anthony was taking a shower?Looking at the clock in the bedroom, it read seven o'clock.Why did he get up so early to shower? Did he not just wash himself last night?Anne thought of something, and her face immediately had an uneasy expression.Anthony was not satisfied with what happened last night…Anne immediately put her clothes on and left the bedroom.Going downstairs, she heard her cell phone, which was on the sofa, ringing.She walked over to pick it up and saw the caller ID was Sarah.As soon as she answered, Sarah's eager voice sounded
Seeing that the criticism against Bianca was getting more and more heated, the video was uploaded again for analysis.Expert was even sought after to make professional analysis on it. From the perspective and angle, it was not logical for Anne to deliver such a push on Bianca.If Anne pushed her, why did her body not have any inertia to tilt?Logically, it was impossible for someone to push another party and remain still.With such an analysis, conspiracy theories were immediately formed and discussed widely on the internet.Anne became the person that netizens sympathized with, who claimed that Bianca's scheming was deep and vicious.In just one night, the whole situation was reversed and took everyone by surprise.Anne could imagine how angry and agitated Bianca was now.After all, the internet has always been a double-edged sword. Before exposing others, one must have a clean and clear history.However, she did not expect that Bianca's parents would be dragged into it. It s
"Hello, are you the resident on the sixth floor? Do you know Anne Vallois who lived on the fifth floor?" The woman pointed the wireless microphone at the nanny.There were some others next to her holding mobile phones and cameras."I know…" The nanny kept the three children by her side to avoid harming them.With such an answer, the paparazzi were even more excited as if they had won a lottery ticket. "Recently, there was a conflict between Anne and the well-known pianist. What kind of person do you think Anne is?""She…she is a very good and enthusiastic person. She will greet me with a smile every time she sees me. Once I lost my key, and she helped me find it," the nanny made up a story."May I ask who Anne usually associates with? For example, does she have a boyfriend or something? After all, the biggest conflict between two women may be caused by relationship issues," the paparazzi asked again."Uhh…I don't know. Usually she is alone," the nanny said."And her family?""T
[Anyone know how I can skip the process of marriage and straight away own such cuties?][Look at their big eyes flickering. They're so beautiful!][So what do they look like without the masks? Will their cuteness make my nose bleed?]In less than 24 hours, the topic of discussion changed the second time.Anne never expected such a change.Sitting in the car, she was heading to Sarah's place at first.Such a change gave her a fright!She would rather the spotlight was on herself!At this time, even if Anne did not want to trouble Lucas, she had no other choice. Thus, she called him, "Mr. Newman!""I know. I saw it. I'm working on those videos." Lucas' words always reassured her.Anne was ashamed of her impatience. "Sorry for the troubles. I really didn't expect them to turn their attention to the children…""That's how the media is. They would put anything on the internet to attract attention, no matter the cost." Lucas Newman, as the principal of the school, would often face
Anne believed Anthony was all Bianca needed."Have you seen the kids?" Sarah asked.Anne's eyes flickered slightly and played dumb. "What kids? I don't know...""These..." Sarah pulled out her phone and looked through the photo. "Huh, why can't I find it? There's not even one photo. What's going on?"Anne played dumb and did not say a thing."You must be aware of what I'm referring to. I'm referring to the triplets that Cheyenne used to look after." Sarah often had a long face when she spoke about Cheyenne. When she noticed Anne was not responding, she glossed it over. "You don't say. The children are actually rather adorable, and they even wore masks as grownups do. How amusing of them. If you have children in the future, they must be like them!"Anne said to herself, those triplets are my kids.She was not boasting, but her kids are indeed good-looking.There were many kids in the hospital when she gave birth, but hers stood out the most.She was not surprised since she was
At first, Corentin was stunned. Then, he said, "Who have I killed? Ash, you've misunderstood. I've changed now. It's true. Hurry up and come down. The ravioli is getting cold.""Don't come over! I'll jump if you get any closer!" Ashlynn shouted hysterically."Alright, alright. I won't go over!" Corentin did not dare to take another step further. "Ash, I'm telling the truth. I didn't kill anybody. Come down, and I'll explain to you. It's all a misunderstanding.""Actually, I've felt it was strange since the beginning. It's just that Anne's reassurance dispelled my suspicion about you." Tears filled Ashlynn's eyes, but they did not stream down her face. She looked at Corentin and said, "But I know everything now. I don't have evidence, but you are Salvatore Yeager. At first, I thought you would change for the sake of the child. In the end… In the end, you didn't even spare the child's grandparents. Salvatore, are you even human? Why would a monster like you exist?""Ash, come down, a
After Ashlynn was discharged from the hospital, she called Anne when she was alone in the room."Anne, are you alright? I heard you were taken by Tommy and were later saved by Anthony.""Mmhmm. I'm fine. I've gotten home safely.""That's wonderful," said Ashlynn.Anne could tell that Ashlynn was not feeling alright, so she asked, "What's the matter? Are you not in a good mood?""I've found out about my parent's passing," said Ashlynn.Anne was stunned. She found out? "I'm sorry, Ashlynn. I've kept it hidden from you.""It's fine. I know you're being considerate to me and the child." Ashlynn took a pause before asking again, "Was Tommy killed by you guys?""No. He fled the cruise ship back then. When we found him, he was already killed by somebody. His body was pulled up from the sea.""Corentin was there as well, wasn't he?""That's right. Did he tell you that?"Ashlynn's eyes looked emotionless. "Have you guys ever suspected Corentin?"Anne immediately got so nervous tha
Corentin hugged Ashlynn. "I heard that Tommy's dead, so your parents' murders have been avenged. Now, they can only rest in peace. Calm down."Ashlynn collapsed in his arms as she cried. Then, she started to feel waves of throbbing pain in her belly, and her face turned pale.Corentin noticed something was not right with her, so he hurriedly roared at the driver, "Go to the hospital now!""Hurry up!" Jeremy urged. He held Ashlynn's hand and realized that it was freezing. "Ashlynn, you have to be alright. You still have me! Hang in there, Ashlynn!"Ashlynn looked at him with tears in her eyes. She was extremely saddened. She could not understand why things would end up like that. Did she not deserve to have parents?When Ashlynn woke up, she was already at the hospital.She subconsciously touched her belly, but Corentin grabbed her hand. "You're showing signs of miscarriage, so you need to recuperate."Ashlynn scanned around the room and asked, "Where's Jeremy?""He's outside. H
"I know…" Jeremy looked up and saw Ashlynn standing at the entrance. He was so shocked, and he immediately stood up. "Why…are you here?"Ashlynn stood there dazed. She looked at Jeremy, then the person who spoke earlier. "What do you guys mean when you talk about my parents' soul resting in peace?""Nothing. We were talking about someone else."Ashlynn could tell from their faces that they were clearly panicking. She was not deaf. She heard what they said clearly.Her face turned pale, and she immediately searched for her phone. She did not have it on her, so she rushed to the car."Ashlynn!" Jeremy ran after her and stopped her. "What are you doing?""I'm going to call Mom and Dad.""They are traveling. Don't disturb them."Ashlynn looked at him. "Jeremy, tell me honestly, why aren't Mom and Dad coming home? Don't lie! I have always felt it was strange. Why haven't they come home when I'm already so far along? Something is wrong, isn't it? Did something…really happen to them?"
Corentin came forward and asked, "Anne, are you alright?"Anne nodded."You don't look too well. What happened?""Tommy's dead," said Anthony."Have you found the cure?" asked Corentin.Anne shook her head."Unfortunately, the infected people would have to endure it a little longer."Anne suddenly thought of something, and she immediately pushed Anthony away. "Don't touch me."Only then, Corentin noticed a small patch of ulcer below Anne's cheek. "Anne, did Tommy drug you?"Anthony frowned. "I don't mind.""I do. Both of us would not be able to have contact with the children, and they will worry." Anne rejected his touch.Anthony had been touching her the whole time. It was unclear if he had been infected. Anne was very worried."It wouldn't make a difference now. If anything, I would have already been infected just now," said Anthony.Anne still refused to listen. "That's not necessary. Just don't touch me. We still don't know where the cure is, and Tommy died so suddenly
Just as Tommy finished his sentence, he heard a commotion behind him.Ivan was fighting with the assassin, and every strike he delivered was fatal. If Ivan were not skilled in combat, the professional assassin could have killed him in just a few moves.Tommy realized something was up, so he immediately wanted to grab Anne.While Anne retreated, she was pulled into a person's arms."Let me go!" She thought it was a man she did not know, so she hated to be touched like that."Anne."Anne was stunned. She looked up and felt happy to see a familiar face. "Anthony?""It's me."Tommy was infuriated as he watched the two of them looking lovingly at each other, Tommy became infuriated."As expected, Anne, you did leave a trace for Anthony." Tommy's expression darkened."You're the one who took me too lightly," said Anne.It was because she had always wanted to run away from Anthony in the past that he had the wrong impression, was it not? "So what? You want to kill me? With just t
Anne was drugged at that moment, and there were surveillance cameras all over the cruise ship. She saw a surveillance camera over her head when she was returning to the room. Therefore, it was impossible for her to sneak around in the middle of the night if she wanted to.Tommy had long been guarding against her.However, Anne still left Anthony some clues before she left him. She believed Anthony would find her very soon, but she never expected that he would do it so quickly.At daybreak, she seemed to have heard the rumbling of a helicopter above her. Then, the door swung open. Before Anne could make sense of the situation, she was picked up. "How did you get the message out?" Tommy said. He even searched Anne's body after that."Ah! Are you crazy? I don't have a phone!""Don't think Anthony can take you away just because he's here. If I'm going to hell, I'm dragging you along with me! Let's go!""You…" Anne had no strength, so she was dragged out of the room by him.He thre
Anne ignored him.If she were not afraid that Tommy would pull some tricks behind her back, she would have slept with her back facing him."Do you remember running to my home and sleeping on my bed when Anthony bullied you as a child?"I don't.""I know you do. I truly wanted to help you back then," said Tommy.Anne knew he was speaking the truth, so she did not refute him. She stared at the ceiling and said, "I think the past Tommy died a long time ago."Tommy's expression was mixed, and he asked, "Are we not able to go back anymore?""Instead of asking me this now, you should've gone to hell after you killed the people I cared about. No matter how unhappy your childhood was, you can't hurt others for your own pleasure." At that moment, Anne did not pity Tommy at all."Look at you on your high horse. Has Anthony not killed anybody before? Has Corentin not killed anybody before? Why did you forgive them for killing people but not me? Just because the victims were your friends?
Seeing that she did not move at all, Tommy said, "It won't be good for you if you don't eat."Anne thought that he made sense. If she did not eat, she would go hungry and would have no strength later. How could she fight with Tommy then? It was because she refused to eat and only drank water while hiding in her room that Tommy drugged her.After a while, she seemed to have figured it out.She picked up the fork and started eating the fish.Tommy saw her eating and asked, "How was it?""Could it be that you're the one who made it?" Anne looked up and shot a glance at him lazily."That's correct. I am the one who made it."Anne thought, 'Is this something worthy to be praised?'"It must be tough for you to do such a thing on top of everything else.""If you're worried that it's tough for me, why don't you make it with me?""I don't know how to cook.""How great. You just have to enjoy being served." Tommy clicked his tongue, but he was looking at Anne with a doting gaze.Anne
