While searching for the phone after unzipping the bag, Anne paused when she came across a box inside.She was familiar with the box because she used to consume it frequently, urgently, and for an extended period of time.However, why did her mother have this in her bag?Moreover, it was unsealed…"Wait!" Sarah rushed over, snatched the box from Anne, and put it back into her bag. "It's cold medicine, so who called?"Sarah zipped her bag and threw it aside after she pulled out her phone."I'll go take a call." Sarah left hurriedly and came back shortly. "It was my friend, I was invited to play blackjack!""Wasn't the blackjack game today agreed upon? Yet, they even have to call you specifically?" Anne began to doubt where she went today."I forgot about it.""You didn't go to play blackjack today, did you? Who did you have a date with?""Who did I go on a date with? None!" Sarah's eyes were shifty, and she refused to admit it."The box in your bag is emergency contraceptive p
Anne startled, her mother?!!!She recalled Sarah, who was not home for the whole day, and the contraceptive pills in her bag.The person Sarah was seeing was…How did...."Anyway, Bianca doesn't want to be the one who starts trouble. She's really a conniving b*tch." said Michelle. "This is my sincerity, so the rest is up to you to figure it out."Sarah did not forget to fill Anne's bowl with the best meat while eating. "The dishes will get cold if you don't eat them. What was the call about that took you so long...""Is the man you seeing my father?" Anne's voice appeared behind Sarah.Sarah dropped the piece of meat she had picked up with her chopstick onto the dining table. She looked guilty when she turned around and saw Anne's inquisitive stare. "Did someone call you to tell you about it?""What were you thinking? Don't you know that Dad was married? What would others think of you if they found out what you have done?" Anne was mad at Sarah.Sarah was mad as well. "Why are
Anne hesitated before answering the call, and she heard Bianca saying, "Anne, come to the Archduke Group!" She was snuffling slightly, and it was apparent that she had just cried. Anne became anxious. Bianca's call to ask her to go to the Archduke Group could only mean one thing—Bianca was at the Archduke Group, and Anne would have to face the pressure from Anthony. After hanging up the call, Anne's mind became foggy. When Sarah noticed that, she asked, "What's wrong? Who called you? What did the person say?""It was Bianca. I have to go to the Archduke Group."Sarah grabbed her arm. "You're going to the Archduke Group? Isn't that Anthony's company? What are they trying to do to you? You have nothing to do with the incident! Why didn't they find me? I'll go with you.""No. Bianca only asked for my presence. Besides, Anthony will be there, and you'll only add fuel to the fire," Anne said.Sarah flinched when she heard Anthony's name."Don't worry. I'll be fine," Anne comfort
Anne glanced at the imposing Anthony and said, "I'm aware…of this.""You knew?" Bianca was shocked."Yes. My mom told me…" "So, I didn't wrongly accuse your mom!" Bianca was furious, almost unable to restrain herself. She originally wanted to bring out the evidence before acting angry, but there was no need for that anymore. Since Bianca's anger was justified, she did not need to mind her attitude in front of Anne. "Your mom sure is something else. She even told you about this shameless matter! It's obvious that she has no more self-respect. I wouldn't be able to do it if it were me," Bianca said sternly. Then, she turned to Anthony, putting on an upset and aggrieved expression. "Anthony, you heard that. Anne's mom really did such a thing. I'm sure she seduced my dad, and I can't imagine how she usually brings Anne up. I didn't even dare to tell my mom about this for fear that she would be triggered. If I don't punish them, I'm afraid they'll do it again in the future. I don't
After all, it was no longer working hours. With Anthony's permission, the door opened, and Nigel walked in."Dad?" Bianca was extremely surprised.Anne also did not expect that Nigel would be here. How did he know what was happening here? On second thought, maybe Sarah called him… Anthony got up and greeted, "Mr. Faye, I'm sorry to have troubled you." Anne and Bianca were stunned. Anthony asked Nigel to come? Anne thought Sarah was the one who called him over… "Don't worry. Only Mr. Faye knows about this," Anthony comforted Bianca. Bianca nodded stiffly, saying nothing. Initially, she intended to deal with Anne. However, her father's appearance would surely cause impartiality and ruin her plan. "I take full responsibility for this." Nigel looked at Bianca. "You can talk to me about this. Anne doesn't know anything."Bianca's breathing became heavy from her anger. "How are you going to take responsibility for this? As your children, what's wrong with trying to solve
The atmosphere became tense. Nigel looked at Bianca, who was stunned but quickly recovered her senses, and asked, "Did you have lunch at Gordon Restaurant?" "I was. But I didn't know you were there. All I know is that my friend saw you and Sarah going to the hotel. So, you even ate together before that? Did you plan it?" Bianca started to bite back."Don't try to change the topic." Anne drew back the attention."Who's trying to change the subject? Anne, stop spurting nonsense," Bianca argued."Didn't you? You ate at the same restaurant at noon, yet you didn't know Dad was there. Sure, that's not impossible. After that, Mom and Dad went to the hotel. On my way here, I thought it was strange. After all, Dad has always been a steady person. I asked Mom about it too, and she said her mind was blank, and she didn't think about anything else. So, I went to the restaurant to check around and found that the restaurant owner had recently asked Bianca to advertise his restaurant. I can't
Anne saw it all, and her heart sank.Anthony would really do all that for Bianca! He really would! Bianca did not drive, whereas Anne did not have a car and came by taxi. So after they walked out of the Archduke Group, everyone left in Nigel's car as he was the only one who drove over. With his two daughters in the back, Nigel drove away. In the rearview mirror, he saw that both of them were not in a good mood.Nigel said, "Anne, where are you going? Let me send you there.""I'm going back to Mom's.""Okay." Anne texted the nanny and informed her that she would not be going back for the night, asking her to tuck the children in bed for her. Anne looked out of the car window. The night was dark and filled with bright lights everywhere.Sarah would definitely not be able to sleep with what just had happened."Who did you text?" Bianca was suspicious."None of your business," Anne answered nonchalantly. "Were you texting Anthony?""You're overthinking." "If you w
However, Sarah did not go over. Nigel looked away awkwardly when he saw Sarah. After all, with such a thing happening between them in the afternoon, it was not appropriate for them to meet even if they were not exposed. "Dad, goodbye…" Before Anne could finish her sentence, Bianca had already gotten out of the car.Anne got out of the car in confusion, and when she saw Bianca angrily heading for the entrance, she immediately understood what Bianca was going to do."Bianca, what are you trying to do?" Anne ran over. "Stop what you're doing!" Bianca fastened her pace as if she did not hear Anne, looking like she wanted to kill someone.Anne frowned. When she saw that Bianca was about to slap Sarah, she hurriedly ran over and slammed Bianca away—"Ah!" Bianca stumbled to the side. As she was wearing high heels, she even twisted her ankle and almost fell. Even so, this did not stop her. Instead, she became even angrier and continued to fight Anne. Nigel rushed over and grabbed
