Dorothy hurriedly supported Bianca, and she was incensed. "How dare you lay your fingers on her! Do you know who she is? She's Anthony's fiancee!"Tommy glanced at them. "Why didn't I know? Is it self-proclaimed?""The engagement party is this week. If Bianca is hurt, can you afford the consequences?" Dorothy said confidently.However, Tommy still did not budge. Besides being slightly stunned when she heard the word 'fiancee', Anne still decided to ignore it. The handprint on Sarah's face was a piercing and heartbreaking sight for Anna. What did the engagement have to do with her? She demanded an explanation for what had happened today! Otherwise, Bianca would come again and again to provoke her! As Tommy was not letting them leave, there was no point in Dorothy and Bianca being so nervous."Let's take care of your wound." Sarah anxiously grabbed Anne's hand. Anne pulled her hand back and refused, "No need."She would not die from it anyway.Less than half an hour late
The limited space in the living room could not contain his powerful presence, and everyone felt a heavy pressure on their chest and did not dare to make any sound."Anthony," Tommy greeted Anthony with a smile. Anthony appeared aloof. "What are you doing here?" "I brought Anne here." Tommy evaded the main points.The police hurriedly greeted Anthony and explained the reason they were there. Anthony listened without saying a word, and his hawk-like eyes glanced at Anne and her bandaged arm.Anne lowered her gaze, suppressing her anxiousness as she let the extremely oppressive gaze fall on her. The nervous Sarah still had bruises from being beaten and stayed close to her daughter.Everyone was waiting for Anthony's decision. After hearing what the police said, Bianca immediately walked over with tears, looking extremely aggrieved as she cried, "Yes…my mom was too angry and dragged me here. But Sarah was just so rude with her words. She said as long as it was true love, the wo
The paramedic glanced at the cold Anthony in fear and replied, "There's no examination equipment here, so we need to go to the hospital."Anne said, "Since you're not apologizing, let's just let the police handle the matter!" Then, she followed the paramedics. Seeing that, Bianca hurriedly said, "Anthony, she took videos of the scene, and she planned to post them online!"Anthony's gaze turned sharp, and the bodyguard on the other side blocked Anne's way.Anthony walked forward and said, "Hand over your phone."Anne took a step back in horror, not wanting to do that.Sarah immediately protected her daughter. "What are you trying to do? Officers, you saw how they bullied us! Do you think you're all that just because you're powerful?!" The police were in a dilemma and stood there quietly, not doing anything. In fact, they even had the urge to leave. After all, the consequences of offending such an influential figure of Luton were unimaginable! Tommy walked over and stood betwe
Sarah's expression changed. Her eyes became teary, but she forced herself not to cry and faked a smile. "Nothing else matters as long as you trust me, and others can do as they please. I'm not only going to stay here today but also tomorrow, the day after tomorrow…let's decide after staying for a week. When the time comes, we'll send all the hospital bills to Bianca! No, we have to send it separately, once a day! That should annoy her and her mom!" "I'm more interested in knowing what happened to you and Nigel," Anna said."Nothing happened. It was only a brief episode. It's getting late, so get some sleep! I'm going to bed too." Sarah lay down. Anne stood by the bed, feeling depressed. There was a bed beside her, but she did not feel sleepy. Moreover, Sarah was unwilling to talk to her about the past, and it was useless to force her, so Anna simply walked out of the ward.Anna noticed that Tommy was not around, so she called him, "Where are you?""At home. Am I supposed to be w
"It's been two weeks. So, we can do it now. Stop being so unreasonable." Anthony directly used force."Let's just wait…wait…""Listen to me if you want to keep your hand," Anthony warned. "No. Don't…" Anthony cried, clinging to the wall with her hands.How could she resist Anthony with her strength? In the end, Anthony still dragged her away, leaving trails of nail prints on the white wall…Anne realized that whether she offended Anthony or not, she would not have a good ending. It was as if even breathing was a sin. It was already noon when Anne woke up, and the room was a mess, including herself. She hugged the pillow and cried her heart out, sobbing and choking in tears.After crying for a long time, Anne finally calmed down. Indeed…she still needed to get out of bed and care for her children after crying. She could not tell anyone what she suffered, pretending nothing ever happened.Walking out of the room, Anne found her bag thrown in the living room. Then, she took he
"She…didn't say anything?""I wouldn't have asked you if she did." Anne's tone was unkind. After all, she had just fought Dorothy and Bianca and was tortured by Anthony all night. Hence, it was impossible for Anne to put on an amicable front. Besides, if her mother were a homewrecker, this man would surely be a horrible person too! There was a hint of hesitance on Nigel's calm face, and he answered, "We were together but separated after that. Your mom was not a homewrecker. When we got together, I was already divorced." "Was it…the divorce that was posted on the Internet?" Anne asked. Then, she added after a pause, "I didn't mean to expose your past. I just want to know the truth." "There's nothing to hide. It's indeed as what the Internet said," Nigel replied, "so, don't misunderstand your mom. She's a great woman."Anne was dumbfounded. This was the first time she heard someone else saying her mother was a good person. In the past, Sarah was often described as a third pa
That's right. I don't plan to get married." Sarah touched Anne's forehead and asked, "My child, did something traumatize you?"Anne dodged. "I'm good." Then, she added after hesitating, "Mom, why don't you leave Luton with me?""Why?" Sarah was puzzled. "Are you worried about the Faye family? I'm not afraid of anything! But if you want to leave, I'll follow you." Anne looked at her in surprise. "I thought you wouldn't want to.""I'm not afraid of them, but they disgust me," Sarah said, "out of sight, out of mind! There was only one concern left in Anne's mind, her children. First, she would need to find the right time to tell Sarah… Anne waited until Sarah took a nap, and she texted Anthony when she thought of something, [I talked to Nigel when he came to the hospital. He told me he was divorced when he met my mom. So, she was never a homewrecker.]No matter what, Anne did not want to be misunderstood, especially by Anthony. If his fiancee was upset, he should stop coming
The distance was so close that Anne's face instantly dropped. When she returned to her senses, Anne tilted her head back, got up, and left the seat."I'm eating with my mom. Enjoy your dinner." Anne refused."Aren't you quick to turn your back on me?" Tommy got up and said in a strange tone, "Didn't you say you wanted to thank me a few days ago? Is that how you repay me?"Anne could not find the words to argue. After all, she was grateful, and it was indeed unjustified to forget his help in the blink of an eye."Where are we having dinner?"Tommy instantly smiled. "Let's go, and don't worry as there won't be seafood."Anne followed Tommy to the restaurant for dinner as if she was completing a mission. The restaurant offered Luton's specialty cuisine, and they could see the beautiful night view outside from the window on the second floor."Those who dine here are couples and families. What do you think our relationship is?" Tommy asked. His slender fingers held the rim of the w
