Anne turned to look at the things around her house. She even went into the bedroom. She felt that something was not right but could not tell what.Could she have forgotten to organize the pillows on the couch?Anne felt strange. She walked out of the house and found her spare key hidden under the plant.The key was still there, but she did not keep it there anymore.If Sarah could find the spare key laying in here, she was certain that other people would be able to find it too! However, would Ron enter the house?Why would he enter? Her hypothesis could not really make sense, so she stopped speculating. Anne rested a few days and returned to the Marwood Group the next morning. She already knew that she had become famous. The search term 'Anne Vallois' had been trending on the internet for a few days. However, the people who made it into working in a big corporation were all very slick with their interpersonal skills. They all pretended that nothing had happened. Xa
When Anthony's sharp and terrifying gaze swept past, Anne immediately held her head low alongside Xander. "Mr. Marwood.""Hmm," Anthony responded and continued walking straight. Xander and Oliver followed him. At the back of the parade was Anne. Anthony's attitude was as though nothing had happened, cold and indifferent. Anne still had her guard up. She wished to be able to turn invisible. Everyone else was already in the meeting room. No, in fact, Tommy was absent, but this was nothing strange. He was always absent. Anne sat behind Xander, facing the laptop on her lap. Once the meeting commenced, she was busy typing down the minutes. When it was Xander's turn to present, she projected the data onto the screen. Whenever they talked about the flaws in the numerical data for the Finance Department, Damian's face would twitch as though feeling guilty about it. Anne kept her focus on the laptop as though she only had eyes for the laptop. She did not dare to look arou
He nudged her. "Ms. Vallois?"Anne regained her consciousness and stood up. She followed Xander to the meeting room door. Her gaze was, however, fixated on Ron. "Director, I will return to the office later." Anne stood still at the door and did not proceed. Xander did not say anything but even helped her to bring her laptop back. Anne returned to the meeting room and slammed the door shut. She walked up to Ron and interrogated, "What do you mean? Why did you accuse my mother? What do you want? You said you wanted to compensate. If you really wanted to, why not ask your son to let me go?"She was breathing heavily, and her chest was pumping up and down. She could not remain calm. Ron snickered. His tone was devilish. "Getting to know both your mother and you is the biggest misfortune of my life!" He stood up, looked at Anne, and said, "Your mom gave you the backup audio, didn't she? Why are you acting like a good samaritan here?""What backup audio?" Anne did not unders
"I will tell him now. He doesn't have to wait!""No, I have not received the money!""Money, money, money, you only care about the money!" Anne was infuriated. "Take this opportunity to get rid of the Marwood family, isn't that the best? Mom, I don't want to have any physical relationship with Anthony! Give him the recording. The best case scenario is that he would thank us, even if he does not thank us, we will no longer have to live under his threat!""It is because we had too much distress from the Marwood family. That's why you wanted to make a fool out of them," Sarah said. Anne realized that Sarah did not listen to her and reached out to snatch the phone. Sarah immediately escaped. She ran around the couch, unwilling to give the phone to Anne. Anne panted. She could not calm down. She could not get the phone, so she turned and was about to leave the mansion. "Anne, where are you going? Come have dinner with me!" Sarah shouted from the back. Anne pretended she did n
Anne stayed silent. She quietly glanced at Anthony in front of her. His buff body was posing a deathly threat to her. The coldness on his face still lingered. After all, what she said directly affected Anthony's mood. No one could stop him. "I have something to do now. We shall talk later." Anthony walked straight into the lift and did not even take one look at Bianca. Anne could do nothing but follow him. Bianca went to tug at Anne's arm, but she got flung away. She watched as Anne and Anthony entered the lift, and the door closed in her face. Bianca almost could not believe what she just saw. Anger and panic. What did that mean? Anne came to see Anthony, but Anthony ignored her.This was the last thing that she wished to see! She would never allow Anne to seduce Anthony! The Rolls Loyce arrived at the entrance of the mansion. The security guard at the gate immediately stopped them.Anne was a little wary of the situation, she hoped Anthony would not lay a fing
Her hands and legs were tied up, and she was sitting in a chair. It was an empty house, and there was a window for ventilation. The sky outside was so bright that it was glaring. The floor was covered with plastic as if someone was ready to hurt her and wanted to make sure there was no stain on the ground. Right at this moment, Ron walked in from outside, looking hostile. Sarah struggled and shrieked, "You kidnapped me?"Ron was holding Sarah's phone in his hand. "Other than this, where else did you have the recording? Did you keep it at Anne's?""No!""I trusted you and gave you the shares, but the recordings are still around! I will let you go if you confess, considering we were once husband and wife!" Ron warned her. Sarah looked at him questionably, "How do you know there is a recording in my phone?""I installed a bug at your place, and I had heard everything that you told Anne. She seemed to be unaware of the recording, but that does not mean she does not have it!"
The car sped away, and once stabilized, Anne moved to sit at the side. Awkwardness and tension filled the atmosphere within the small, confined space in the car.Anne sneakily took a look to the side. Anthony's gaze fell outside the window as if he were indifferent about her clumsiness. She could feel the tension around him and even the bloodlust. Therefore, it was not that Anthony wanted to ignore Bianca, but he did not have the mood to entertain her. His own mother was murdered by his grandfather. Should she sympathize with Anthony? She reckoned she should be sympathizing with herself.She did not know what to say. After all, once the truth was found out, Anthony would not have any reason to force her anymore!She could attain real freedom, couldn't she?Ron stood by the door and watched as Anne walked toward him alone. She was wearing a shoulder bag, and her face was full of anger. "Where is my mother?"Ron asked, "Are you alone?"Anne looked behind her. "Did you see
Anne was not here alone. Not only did she tell someone about it, but this was the person he did not want to face the most: Anthony Marwood!"The recording is in… Anne's phone," Sarah said it with guilt.Ron was stunned. He guessed it right! Anne could not believe what she heard. "When… When did you do it?""That time when we had lunch together, I did it when you went to the toilet," Sarah said. Anne took out her phone and saw the recording in her phone. If it were not because Sarah claimed so, she would not have opened it. Ron wanted to snatch her phone away but was restrained by Anthony's bodyguards. "Anthony, don't listen to her. It is all fake!" Ron desperately explained. "Fake or real, I will make my own judgment." Anthony's tone was cold. He looked so intimidating in the wide space. Anne immediately played the recording, and Sarah and Ron's conversation could clearly be heard in the quiet space. Anthony stood still where he was, like an ice statue.Ron's face
