Chapter 477

Author: Pink Dolphin
Lucas was waiting for her in his office.

When they finally saw one another, it felt like a lifetime had passed.

"I'm sorry for worrying you, but I'm fine now," Anne said.

Lucas approached her to give her a hug.

Anne panicked and took a few steps back. "Let's not contact one another ever again. Nothing is ever going to happen between us."

He halted in shock. "Why?"

"We are not right for each other."

"It's too odd a reason to turn me down." Lucas refused to accept.

"I just don't think I should get married after giving it some thought. I'm sorry, but that's all..." Anne turned to leave, and Lucas went to stand in her way.

"Why, exactly? Make yourself clear!"

"I realized that Anthony was the first one I thought of when I was in danger. I realized that I felt something different for him. I can't be with you while I have feelings for him." Anne was horrified by the idea that Lucas would mention the children because everything would be over if he did. "I'm sorry, Mr. Newman. I've wr

    Anthony stopped and turned around as he stared her down intimidatingly. "Lucas Newman is standing ten meters away from us. Have you figured out what you are going to do? Hm?"Anne stood frozen, trying to catch her breath as she stared into the distance.She knew that Anthony was telling the truth, and she had not forgotten about what he had said on the phone before.Lucas would not give up based on the words she said inside the school, and he would come looking for an explanation.Anthony had anticipated that.Anne took a deep breath and walked closer before stopping right in front of Anthony. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips against his, all the while moving as gently as though she was truly kissing the man she loved.Anthony wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to deepen the kiss.In the distance, Lucas stared at the two as he clenched his fists. His chest felt heavy and as the look in his eyes slowly turned from shock to indifference

    "I'll wait for you in the Royal Mansion, then.""Sure. Don't wait up."Bianca left the office wondering if what she said would raise any suspicion within Anthony.If Anne was not with Anthony, it was very likely that she was with another man, and once Anthony saw Anne for who she really was, he would no longer be interested in her.Anthony did not seem to care at all when Anne was abducted.Bianca had mentioned long ago that Anne was merely Anthony's plaything, and she meant nothing to him.As soon as Bianca left, Anthony made a phone call to command his men. "Go to the area she lived in to see if she's there!"He hung up and narrowed his eyes dangerously as he thought to himself, 'Anne Vallois, you better stay in line!'Anthony's bodyguard snuck into the residential building and went to the fifth floor to knock on Anne's door. There was no response, and when he tried to knock harder, there was still nothing but silence.The bodyguard took out a pocket knife to pick the lock.

    Tommy lifted an eyebrow without a word."Alright. It's late. I'm going to sleep now.""I've been worried about you for the whole week and this is how you treat me?" He scowled gloomily.She looked at him in surprise. "How exactly am I treating you? I'm just stating a fact.""Let's catch up next time." He turned and left.Anne went to lock her door and lay down in her own room, not daring to go back to the sixth floor as she feared that Anthony might pay her a sudden visit.Deciding that she would head back upstairs the next morning, she touched the scar on her back and realized it was no longer painful to lay on her back.She had shown Tommy her arm and neck, knowing that if he initiated it, he would see the scar on her back and realize that her disappearance had something to do with Anthony, as kidnappers could not possibly cause such scars.As for the 'kidnappers', Anthony would handle everything, and no one would doubt anything she said.Tommy went back into his car thought

    He was acting suspicious.In the morning, Nigel said, "I need to head out for a business trip this afternoon.""Again?""I've just moved my operation there, so I have to head over from time to time.""Where to? For how long?""To Louxville, for three to four days."Dorothy did not question him any further and said gently, "I will help organize your belongings later, then.""Just let the servants do it.""I'm your wife. It's my job," she said.In the afternoon, Nigel returned home and his assistant helped to carry his luggage into the car, before the two left together.Dorothy immediately called Bianca. "Check to see if your dad is really going on a business trip in Louxville.""It's not his first business trip. Stop second-guessing him.""Bianca, I won't know what's happening if he's not around. He does go on business trips all the time, but do you know that he hung up on his phone last night in the study room as soon as I walked in? Why? He must be doing something behind m

    "A bit.""How's the weather in Louxville? Be careful not to catch a cold.""I won't. I'm going to go now." Nigel hung up.Furious, Dorothy shouted, "Heard that? He didn't mention that he wasn't in Louxville! Why would he lie? Why?"Bianca was just as angry as Dorothy was.The fact that Nigel had gone to see Sarah was not only a betrayal toward Dorothy, but also a betrayal toward Bianca."I knew that something was wrong with your dad ever since we came to Luton. Well? That's why!" Dorothy gritted her teeth. "And this is just what we know so far from looking into it. God knows what's there that we don't know!"Bianca evaluated the situation, knowing that she could not allow Nigel to be with Sarah, otherwise, he might abandon Dorothy and her. She could not accept seeing her family destroyed and taken apart."Mom, there's something that I haven't told you out of fear that you would get hurt, but I don't want to keep you in the dark anymore," Bianca blurted out. "Back when Sarah was

    She knew that Nigel had not forgotten as well.At night, Nigel sent Sarah back to her hotel and stopped outside the door for her own safety."Aren't you coming in for a drink?" Sarah asked. "Anne is not around, so can you just keep me company in her place?"Nigel hesitated, and Sarah pulled him into her room, closing the door behind them.She took out two glasses and poured wine into them at the bar table, and Nigel went to set his briefcase to sit down.He felt uncomfortable that Sarah had sat down next to him, he wanted to move away, but did not want to appear like he was avoiding her as Sarah seemed like she really just wanted to talk and drink.They clicked glasses and the crisp sound echoed throughout the room. He drank his wine and felt the burning sensation down his throat.Sarah observed Nigel and felt more and more drawn to him. She turned around sorrowfully and said, "I wonder when I can see Anne and share a meal with her. I would be happy to just see her...""I was g

    Sarah woke up and turned around. "Are you leaving?""What do you want to eat?"Sarah opened her eyes to look at him, before wrapping her arms around his waist from behind. "I thought you were running away."Indeed, Nigel did not quite know how to face her, but there was not a point to run from something that he did."I won't mention this to anyone. This will be our secret." Sarah rubbed her face against his back. "Just come here to keep me company from time to time. I want us to be like what we used to be.""Sarah...""I know what you want to say." Sarah interrupted her. "Why don't you think about what Dorothy did to you back then? Does she think she's on the moral high ground here? Your marriage exists for the sake of Bianca only. What kind of a marriage is that? You wouldn't spend the night with me if you have feelings for her. I know you."Exposed, Nigel's expression darkened as he remained quiet.Sarah got out of bed to stand in front of him, before helping to adjust his co

    Dorothy gaped and stood up abruptly, bumping into the chair. "What...What did you say? You are divorcing me? For Sarah's sake?""You know exactly why we divorced before. I've never explained to Bianca because I didn't want her to lose her respect for you, but I don't want to wrong Sarah again. Bianca is all grown up now. She will understand.""No! I won't divorce you!" Dorothy approached him to grab him by his hand. "How can you divorce me? We've been alright after all these years, and now you are abandoning me because of Sarah? No way! I won't ever agree to this!""Dorothy, is this really the kind of marriage you want?"It was not. Dorothy wanted her husband to love and care for her, but all Nigel had for his family was a sense of responsibility, not love, even so, she did not want a divorce.Dorothy sobbed and pleaded, "Nigel, don't leave me. You know how I've been like since we re-married. I can change if there's something wrong that I did. I will change. Just don't talk about

    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
