"You guys want to leave Luton? Why?" Nigel had just found his daughter, hoping she would stay by his side a little longer. "I don't want to get in the way of your family. Anthony is engaged, and he still pesters my daughter. Poor thing!" Sarah spoke sharply. She did not give a damn about his feelings. Nigel looked at Anne, and Anne's expression matched her words. "Are you sure you don't want to stay? Next time Anthony pesters you again, just call me, and I will be there," Nigel said. Anne pursed her lower lip. That would be a great idea. No matter what, Anthony would never dare to be disloyal to Bianca in front of his father-in-law. However, she preferred to leave. At the same time, she understood that if Anthony did not let go, Nigel could not solve the problem either. Sarah was doing some quick thinking. She felt guilty hiding a secret from the two of them, but she did not want any contact between the two of them. So after hearing this, she suddenly became suspici
The lady said, "It's not in the database.""Are you implying that my daughter has an illegal ID? How dare you! There must be something wrong with your database!""I've swiped it thoroughly several times." The lady was getting impatient. After all, there were still people queuing up behind."Try it again..." Sarah wanted to hand the ID to the lady again, but Anne stopped her."Let's go."As soon as the two of them left, the lady made a call to her superiors to notify them of her situation."What's this all about? What is happening?"Anne was not surprised at all. "You know what's going on. I just didn't expect that Anthony would do such a thing..." He had her identity deleted from the database.She lowered her eyes and felt that life was hopeless..."Let's go back home!" Sarah said.Anne did not say anything.She followed Sarah here, and now she was going back with her.It was like she did not have any opinions of her own.Anne returned to her community. She thought Sarah w
Two hours later, it was already twilight. Anthony went downstairs, got into the car, and left the community feeling refreshed. When Bianca, who was hiding in the dark, saw that scene, her teeth rattled. If anyone passed by, they would be frightened by her twisted expression, thinking they had seen a ghost! Bianca received a call from Sarah, who told her that Anthony was there. She did not want to believe her, but she still came over. Anthony, who was already engaged to her, was still meeting Anne in private. He was with Anne for a long time. The phone rang, Bianca answered, and Sarah's arrogant voice came through. "I hope my information did not disappoint you." "Anne is as cheap a whore as you are!" "Don't blame me! You don't even know the whereabouts of your man! You only have yourself to blame for this," Sarah said lightly without being provoked by her words. She was used to being scolded like this. "It's Anne who seduced Anthony! She knew that Anthony was alrea
Bianca said angrily, "Anne was the one who seduced Anthony first. Just look at her body. There are traces of him all over her! Shameless whore!" "Well, that just means Anne is more attractive than you are! You can't even take a firm hold on Anthony, and you blame Anne for that? You didn't dare confront Anthony on this matter, so now you are taking out your anger on Anne?" Sarah let go of Dorothy's hair. Dorothy was about to faint. The hair on her head was a mess. "Mom!" Bianca hurriedly supported Dorothy. Sarah glared at them, looking very angry. "I've never been afraid of fighting! Back when Anne was studying in school, I would beat up whoever bullied her!" Anne knew this. At that time, she thought Sarah was just her aunt. No classmate dared to bully her after that. "You think you're the only mother here? You protect your daughter, and so do I!" Dorothy rolled up her sleeves as she spoke and stepped forward to fight her. They were stopped by a sudden shout— "What a
"What happened?" Anne asked. "Bianca was driving by herself. The car hit the guardrail, and she had a cut on her forehead. She had a slight concussion. It's okay." Nigel stood on the phone in the corridor outside the ward. Bianca was half-leaning on the bed in the ward, gauze wrapped around her forehead, in a very bad mood. Dorothy stayed by her bedside. "How do you feel? Does it still hurt?" Bianca did not say anything. "I'll call Anthony and tell him to come and accompany you." Dorothy went to get the phone. "Don't," Bianca responded. "Why not?" Dorothy did not understand. Although having her parents there would be good, if her fiance came to accompany her, her mood would be better. "Let him know what happened today, how Anne and Sarah treated you." "As his wife, if I trouble him with something, he might feel that his wife is incompetent." Bianca's eyes were ruthless and calculating. "I want to deal with Anne myself." "Why do you think so much? Anyway, Anthony cares
Anne knew that she wanted to find Anthony to deal with her and Bianca's affairs. Anne knew she was in trouble. Those paparazzi and fans would be like beasts picking up the scent of blood once they got hold of this video. "Do you want me to pick you up? Otherwise, you won't be able to leave," Tommy said. Anne looked back at the innocent three little kids in the living room, feeling nervous. After hanging up the phone, she said to the three kids, "Mama has something to do, so you sleep well at night and don't worry about me, okay?" "Why are you going out so late? Where is Mama going?" Chloe asked. "It's something to do with work." Anne handed the children over to her aunt and left quickly. As soon as she got to the first floor, she bumped into the paparazzi and fans of Bianca."Anne, were you caught in bed with Bianca's fiance, as they say on the Internet?" "I heard that you are a whore who likes destroying other people's families, is that true?" "Is there anything y
Anne thought about it and thought about the past. She thought Nigel made this call because he wanted to know the situation. Or he wanted to care about... Even if that was not the case, he did go to Anthony for her... "Hey?" "How are you? Are you safe?" "Yes, with my friends," Anne said. She knew the video had gone viral by now. She doubted she could prove her innocence. "That's good." Nigel was relieved, then asked after a while, "Have you ever thought about leaving Anthony completely?" "...I don't understand." "I heard that Anthony asked you to leave Luton before, but you didn't want to?" "Since my mother…my aunt, was killed, I haven't found the murderer, so I will stay," Anne explained. "Bianca said you threatened her with the baby in your stomach before?" Nigel asked. Anne's heart sank. "I don't mean anything else. I just hope that neither of you will be hurt." "Thank you for your concern. It's normal for you to worry about your daughter. I'm going to h
She was busy drying herself and putting on her bathrobe. She went out with wet hair and looked at Tommy in the room with his arms crossed and his expression calm. "I thought you were going to shower all night." Anne's face was not as pale as before because of the bath, and she looked as delicate as a flower. She walked aside, sat down on the sofa, and wiped her hair with a towel. "That video on the Internet won't be going away for a while," Tommy said. "Whatever. Anyway, this is what Anthony's wanted, so let him gloat all he likes," Anne said. "Anthony has issues," Tommy said. Anne thought to herself, 'You are no better yourself.' They were brothers, after all. "Currently, it is difficult to find a solution. You can only hope some other viral videos replace it. However, Bianca must have thought of dealing with this," Tommy said. Anne took out her mobile phone and saw the video of someone throwing eggs at her and Tommy, who appeared behind her inside the video. T
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
