Anne was so frightened that her brain was buzzing. Anthony was unfathomable. Although she had been in contact with him since he was a child, she still could not understand what he was thinking. He would not know the identity of the children. Otherwise, he would not be so nice to her.Why did Anthony go looking for the children? Anne never knew that it was her kids who went to Anthony themselves. Who would have thought they had his number? However, the three little kids kept that a secret. It was as if the phone call was never made. "I didn't tell you beforehand because I was afraid you would be worried," Lucas said. "I know that you are doing it for my good. When you went to pick up the children, Anthony didn't embarrass you, did he?" "No. It was his fault for this matter." "That's great." The two of them talked about the children and ended the call without saying anything else. When the call ended, she felt an awkward silence. It was as if they had feelings
Sarah sighed. "Silly child, people change. I ended up with nothing when I was nice to other people. After thinking about it, I think it's better to be selfish. At least I can protect myself." Anne said, "Is that the case? I'm your daughter, and you can tell me anything. No matter what happens, I'm on your side." Even though Anthony was too difficult to deal with, they should never give up. Sarah looked at her and said, "I know what you want to know. When I was with Ron, Ron and his wife hadn't divorced. Ron told me that his wife was fierce and didn't know how to be gentle, and sooner or later, she would divorce him. To be honest, I thought of Nigel at the time, which made me feel contemptuous about him." "Then why did you stay with him later?" Anne was puzzled. Sarah said, "Because it just so happened that his wife died and Ron is a rich man, why should I give up such a good opportunity?" "Has Anthony's mother talked to you?" Anne asked. "She did. But I told her that it w
Sarah took a breath and asked, "Do you think Anthony's mother was killed by Ron?"Anne was stunned. "Why do you ask that? Did you think of something?" She started thinking furiously. If this really was the case, the person Anthony should hate was Ron! Was it possible? "There was a time when Ron slept at night and had nightmares, saying that he wasn't a murderer. He was talking about Anthony's mother, right? It was not long after her death," Sarah said. Anne could not imagine such a thing happening between husband and wife. "Maybe he missed her?" "Leave this matter to me. No matter what, I must go and find out the truth so that Anthony doesn't look at us as if he were looking at garbage!" Sarah was very dissatisfied. Then she took out her mobile phone. "By the way, there is still something for me to do..." Anne looked at Sarah's phone. "Your daughter lives on the fifth floor. Do you expect her to climb the stairs every day? Do you know how tiring it is? Either buy her a
After two days, Nigel took Annie to see the house. It was truly an apartment with great privacy. The garden scenery inside was great, and she did not need to climb five flights of stairs. Although Anne did not ask about it, she knew where this place was. It was not a new building. This house was built over ten years ago but was well maintained. It was not outrageously expensive, but only locals would get a chance to buy it. This was to ensure the safety of the residents. Anne did not feel uncomfortable about this arrangement. However, she did not love it either. She did not like the fact that she had just known Nigel for a short time, and he had already bought her something this expensive. Her mother was really... The design and decorations inside were great. The large area made Anne's beautiful face wrinkle slightly. "Why is it so big? It's too big." "There are only four rooms." 'Only four rooms?' Anne sighed inwardly. "One for you, one for your mother, a
Perhaps Nigel saw through her, or perhaps Nigel also wanted to hug this daughter who had never been hugged before. When Bianca was young, he often hugged her. He gently hugged Anne into his arms. Anne blushed, and her heart beat a little faster. The affection of her family made her eyes watery. Seeing that scene in the dark, Anthony turned and left with a cold expression. After seeing the house, Nigel sent her back. Anne went upstairs and stepped on the steps happily. Up to the fifth floor, then to the sixth floor. Just as she stepped onto the sixth floor, her body froze. She felt the familiar aura of dominance in the air. Anne stopped, turned around, and saw nothing. However, the fear that came from the heart was still there. When she came up, she did not see a Rolls Loyce. She took out her mobile phone to check the location of Anthony. He was indeed near her. Why was he here? What was he going to do to her? Her body had been violated many times by hi
Anthony approached with a wicked smile, lifting her chin. "I can choose not to say it." Anne had hope in her eyes, but she did not dare to expect too much. "Pleasure me and satisfy me." This was what Anthony wanted in return. Anne's heart sank. She knew that she would not get it for free. Seeing the resistance in her eyes, Anthony's black eyes suddenly became dark and cold. "Ah!" Anne could not resist his powerful hands, staggered, and slammed into the wall. When she turned around, Anthony was nowhere to be seen. She did not follow him out. Was she supposed to go after him and serve his desires outside? She could not do it. It was scary when she made out with Anthony. It was stressful. Besides, Anthony did not seem to want to touch her again. If she took the initiative, she would be digging her own grave. Anne sat feebly on the soft stool next to the shoe cabinet, lost in thought. Would Anthony tell Dorothy and Bianca about it? He would not, would he? Th
The headlights only illuminated the lower body, and the upper body was invisible in the dark. Ron waved. "Shoo her away!" The driver honked the horn, but the woman did not move. Ron was annoyed by the driver's stupidity. He had always wanted to fire the driver but always gave him another chance. Could he not accomplish something as easy as telling someone in the middle of the road to move out of the way? Ron got out of the car, pretending to be drunk, walked over, and yelled, "What are you doing standing here? Do you want money? Believe it or not, I'll report it... ah!" Before he could finish speaking, Ron sat on the ground in fright when he saw the face of the woman. The driver got out of the car at this time. "Mr. Marwood, you...Ah, ghost!" Before he could finish speaking, he was shocked when he saw the woman in front of him with a pale face smeared with blood. Ron heard a thud behind him. Looking back, the driver had passed out on the ground. This deepened Ron'
"No, no! It was Dad. It has nothing to do with me!""No! He pushed you because I wanted to marry Sarah so badly and wanted a divorce, so I went to find you. I did not expect to see you on the top floor of the hospital. It was because you said something so nasty that my dad couldn't help but push you.""No, no, I… I was watching from the side, don't you blame me for it. If you had completed the divorce, then nothing would have happened… I'm sorry, Julie, after all these years, I had always been in remorse, so regretful… Why did I not help you, I am sorry…"Sarah turned the recording off, looked at Ron, whose face was pale, and asked, "What about now? Can you remember it now?"Ron lifted his terrified but enraged eyes. "That woman was you!""Who else? Did you really think Julie Watson appeared? Ron, I really did not expect you would kill your own wife!""I said it. I did not kill her!""Isn't standing by the side and watching, assisting the murder?" Sarah asked condescendingly.
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
