"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
"Fine, you are ungrateful about me telling the news." "Go and tell everyone that your daughter died, please!" Before getting a response from Dorothy, Sarah hung up. Sarah could not believe that. She was panicking, her hands did not know what to do, and she could not think.Has something really happened to Anne?However, Nigel said that Anne was busy with the month-end financial closing! She could not contact Anne, could it be because…Sarah called Nigel. Nigel was checking out the geographical situation upstream when his phone buzzed.He took out the phone and saw that it was Sarah. His hand shook. Subconsciously, he did not want to answer the call, but he could not. He walked to the side and answered, "Woke up?" His tone was not abnormal. "Tell me frankly, did something happen to Anne?" Sarah asked desperately. "Who told you this nonsense?""Why is her phone not connected? She is so busy that she has no time to give me a phone call? Plus, your wife deliberately
Anne was afraid of his unpredictable temperament and was worried that he would see through her plans, so she said, "If it were not for you, I would not have fallen down from the bed. It is fine if you did not like what I said, but you threw me out. That was violent."Anthony's face looked displeased. Anne then said, "Can you give me some painkillers? It's unbearable…""Bear it.""Is this something to be borne? My back is burning." Anne could not breathe evenly. She saw Anthony's cold face keeping quiet and pondered what she should do. "Are you really not going to send me away? There's no one that can enter this place. Who would take care of me? You?""I am on leave these two days."Anne was taken aback. Did he really plan to take care of me?Could she reject it?Anthony coldly locked his gaze onto Anne's face. "Why? Any objection?""No." Anne did not dare to admit it. Anthony placed his laptop down, stood up, and walked out.Anne noticed that Anthony was limping slightly.
Anne was stunned.So, Anthony was not limping because he was numb, but it was because he was injured?Was it because of her?Anne tried to recall the scene. She fell onto the floor. Anthony came down from the bed to carry her up, and he was indeed standing next to her. The floor was covered with glass pieces. It was likely for him to step on them…However, would Anthony really care for her?"If you cannot fight him, might as well follow suit." Kathryn hinted. Anne bit her lips. How would she not have known about this?However, it was difficult to do it. She was already feeling bad enough to be the 'mistress'.Plus, Anthony's unpredictable temperament made it hard for her to serve him.After Kathryn left, Anne lay on the bed listening to the noises outside. It sounded like Anthony was talking to someone. Was he talking to Kathryn?She could not make out what they said…Was it Bianca?She guessed it right. It was Bianca. "They only found the car and did not find the
It hurt so much that beads of sweat started to form on Anne's forehead. Soon, she felt cold from her back. After the cold, the pain on her back was relieved. Then, it was a second wound. Anne woke up from her sleep, and Anthony was no longer sleeping next to her. The wounds on her back were gently touched by something that felt like a cotton bud. She could faintly smell the medicine in the air.She did not need to turn around to know who the person was helping her with the medicine. She did not expect Anthony to be waking up in the middle of his sleep to apply the anesthesia for her. "Did I wake you up? I did not want to move around. It was too uncomfortable." Anne's face pressed into the pillow, making it deformed. Her lips pouted. Anthony's face was still expressionless. "Good that you are aware of it."After that, he tossed the cotton bud into the trash can and went to the bathroom to wash his hands. Anne listened as the water splashed in the tap and wondered, coul
