He eagerly picked up the phone, thinking it was Anne. It was Sarah. Sarah still did not know about Anne's disappearance. Sarah usually only texted him, so calling him probably meant she wanted to know about Anne. "Sarah." "What's the matter with Anne? She didn't answer or return my call to her. What is she doing?" Sarah asked anxiously as soon as the call was connected. "She might be busy with work." "No matter how busy she is, she should always have time to call back, right?" Sarah was suspicious. "Is something wrong?" "It's approaching the end of the month. Her department is busy. It's normal," Nigel told a white lie. "Okay..." Sarah had no doubts. Besides, how could anything go wrong? Nigel was there to look after her. Then she said, "I didn't mean to call you at this time. I was really worried about Anne." "I know, it doesn't matter. You can call me anytime." "Even in the middle of the night?" "My phone is turned on even at night." "If you say that, I ha
The room door was opened. No matter how many times she saw Anthony, her pupils would always shrink in fear, as if the fear of being violated was deeply ingrained into her mind. Anthony carried the breakfast in his hand and put it on the bedside table. Anne glanced at her and said, "Is it inappropriate for you to serve me three meals a day?" Anthony's dark eyes looked dangerous. "It's okay, I will get my payment." Anne trembled. Anthony threw a phone on the bed. "Call me if you need anything." Seeing that Anthony was leaving again, Anne hurriedly got off the bed. She pulled at Anthony's clothes with her hand. "Don't go! Let me go, I want to go home, please... I'm not your pet, I am human. You can't treat me like this..." Anthony's black eyes narrowed coldly, and his big palm grabbed her little hand, but he just pulled it off coldly, turned around, and left. "Anthony! Anthony!!" Anne could not even get to the door of the bedroom, so she could only shout at him. Eve
Anne's fierce voice came through, "I'm hungry!" More than a dozen high-level executives, including Oliver, immediately held their breaths. Who was it? Who dared to speak so arrogantly to the person in charge of the Archduke Group? More was yet to come. "Hurry up and give me something to eat! You don't think I only need to eat three meals a day, do you? Don't you feel hungry in the afternoon? Don't you want some fruit snacks? I like sweets, buy me some cakes and milk tea. I want a cheesecake and milk tea with light sugar, do you hear that? Why don't you speak?" The atmosphere in the conference room was chilling. Would Anthony burst into a rage? They were too frightened to move. Nobody knew who this person was, but Oliver knew it as soon as he heard the voice. What a time to make a call… "I am in a meeting." Oliver had been with Anthony for a long time, and he looked over in astonishment and incomprehension. 'At this time, shouldn't he just hang up?' Why was he an
"Nigel, are you hiding something from me? Are your wife and daughter bullying Anne, but you're not telling me about that?" Sarah doubted. "Anne is also my daughter. I love her very much. It's not what you think. The child works late at night and has to go to work during the day. She said that she always feels tired. She is afraid that you will be worried and will call you after work is done." "Okay, there are two days left. If she still doesn't call me, I'll go crazy." Nigel knew she was in a hurry, but now he could only comfort her. He was very anxious. He did not know where Anne was now, and he did not even know if she was safe. He was a failure as her father. "Hey, did you see the picture of the night scene I took for you?" Sarah asked. "I did, it's beautiful." "I'm so bored here, no one to chat with me, no one to play poker with..." Sarah sighed. "I... have friends over there. I can ask their family members to contact you," Nigel said. "Actually, you can come
"You cannot completely leave this aside either!" Dorothy said in a hushed voice, "We have not found Anne yet. Your dad suspected this is related to Anthony…""Why do you even say so too?" Bianca felt her head heavy just hearing this."I am only asking you to stay vigilant." Dorothy said and tried to remind her about her situation, "Think about it, how many women want to climb into Anthony's bed? Which family in business does not wish to marry their daughter to Anthony? Don't you take it lightly just because you are his fiance. Even after marriage, you should still keep a lookout. You don't have kids now, and your only bargaining power is yourself.""I'm not an id*ot. Of course, I know. I purposely went to the Archduke Group when I came back from the studio. Anthony was still busy then!""That's great." However, Dorothy found it weird. "Then what did you mean by Anne is still missing?""As long as it is not related to Anthony, I don't care where she went. Who knows when we finally
"Ah!" Anne squirmed into the corner of the bed. "Anthony, you treat me this way. Do you have strings attached already?"Anthony went into the bed and was only a few centimeters away from Anne. He was stunned and paused. His face grew eerier and eerier. "What did you say?""Are you… In love with me?" Anne reached forward and stroked him, feeling extremely nervous. "Are you seeking death?" Anthony's eyes were menacing and pinched her face. "Otherwise, why would you treat me this way…" Anne said it with immense difficulty. She could feel that her face almost shattered under his pinch."Stop humiliating yourself. It was only because your body is still up to par to keep me satisfied." Anthony coldly released her, turned and walked away. Anne desperately held his arm. "Are you mad? I didn't mean it, don't you be this way…"Anthony turned around and looked at her with a cold face, and ordered, "Let go.""Anthony, don't be mad, really. It was my fault for saying that… Ah!" Before An
It was impossible for him not to feel the pain unless all his attention was put on Anne. What exactly was Anne to Anthony?No matter his brutal side, or his caring side, all of them were ironically only shown to one person, Anne. Kathryn was Anthony's personal physician that did not mean she could ask about his personal life. After giving her advice, Kathryn left. When passing by the corridor, Kathryn saw Julie's humongous portrait in the hallway.She was so young and elegant. This was something that Kathryn could not understand. The people around him understood well enough why Anthony could control Anne. However, he brought her to this condo that no one could enter in the end. Even more so, because of Anne, he even allowed Kathryn to enter this condo. What exactly was Anthony thinking?If he were starting to care about Anne, then he would not have engaged with Bianca, would he?It seemed that Anthony was so mysterious that no ordinary person could understand him.
She almost bumped into Nigel when she arrived at the office. "Why are you looking upset? What happened?" Dorothy asked. "The car that brought Anne away was found. I will go have a look." Nigel turned away. Dorothy was shocked. It was found?She regained herself and immediately followed. "I will go with you!"When they arrived at the lake, Tommy and Lucas were still there and explained the situation to Nigel. "The car was retrieved. It was verified as the one that brought Anne away. The car doors were open when it came up, but there was no one inside," Lucas's face was sunken, and his voice was hoarse. "Plus, the rescue team said, this was not the place where the incident first happened. It happened upstream. We have seen it just now, would you want to check it out?"Nigel looked into the distance nervously. The rescue team was still in action. The lake's current was strong. Why would Anne be in the lake?Nigel followed Lucas upstream.Dorothy stayed behind. She heard t
