"No way!" Charlie had not had enough. "Tie him up!"Chloe went to find ropes hurriedly.Seeing how the children were having fun, Anne did not try to help Tommy.She checked on Anthony's location before going to the kitchen to help the nanny with cooking.When dinner was almost ready, Anne walked out and said to the triplets, who were still surrounding Tommy. "Go wash your hands!""Okay!""Coming!""Yay!"The three threw the toys away and ignored Tommy, before running into the bathroom.Tommy slowly removed the rope on him.Anne looked at him and asked, "Are you not going back?""Why should I?" Tommy seemed confused.Anne scowled at him."We were supposed to meet. Where were you?""I think you know," Anne said.Tommy dismissed it.After the triplets had washed their hands, dinner was ready and Tommy went to sit down without hesitation.Anne had never seen anyone more shameless, but since he had helped her before, she saw no harm in letting him stay for dinner.After di
"Two days ago. It's fine. I will go back tomorrow or the day after. The nurse there keeps in touch with me," she said."I'm sorry, Anne, but I'm occupied right now so I can't go there.""I know. It's okay. Focus on what you need to do. I can handle this." Anne paused, before asking, "Dad, are you okay?""Yeah. Don't worry." Nigel could not tell his daughter the truth that there was another woman forcing him to get involved.Anne did not ask because he knew that he was in a difficult position, and for as long as he remained married to Dorothy, they were still a family.Two days later, Anne called Anthony and asked, "You want to come over for dinner?""Busy," Anthony refused."No? I prepared a candle-lit dinner. I cooked," she said, "besides, don't you want to spend the night here?"Anthony quieted down.Anne felt a little nervous. She would have to go to Anthony if he refused to come and she did not want to risk running into Bianca."Wash up."Anne's face flushed as her heart
"Something you want to say?" Anthony lowered his gaze and glided the knife through the steak."Huh? Um…does it taste good?" She swallowed her original words."It's alright."Anne was surprised at the comment and relaxed that he was satisfied with it."I can make it again if you like it."Anthony looked up and Anne smiled awkwardly."Are...you staying the night here?""Depends on how you behave."Anne panicked as she knew what he meant by that, since it was not hard to guess what he wanted. There was only sex between them, after all."If I behave well, can I ask for anything?""What do you want?""I haven't decided yet."Anthony did not expose her little trick as he was in a good mood and saw no need in destroying the mood.She observed his expression carefully and set the fork down, before walking to stand behind Anthony and wrapping her arms around his neck from behind. "I won't make you angry ever again." She stared at the skin underneath his collar and planted a kiss th
The police officer informed her, "The driver confessed that some guy paid him to do it. The guy who paid him did not come from Santa Nila.""Is he from Luton?" She asked."You guessed it. If you have someone you suspect, we can narrow down the search."Anne thought about it and took out her phone to search for Dorothy's photo. "This one."She knew that Bianca would not get her hands dirty and even if they did plotted to murder Sarah, Dorothy would try to protect her daughter from being punished."I'm just guessing. Can't be sure.""We won't act until we have solid proof. You have a grudge or something? Can you brief me through it?""Dorothy's husband is my father. She divorced my dad and then he met my mom. After that, Dorothy regret divorcing my dad and used their daughter to get him back. They used to live overseas and only returned a few months ago. Dorothy has always hated my mom and even tried threatening me with my mom's life. That's why I think she did it. I can't think o
"Sometimes, we can't just arrest anyone you suspect to be the culprit," the police officer explained with resignation. "Sigh. Sometimes, you have to know when to call it quits."The officer left and Anne remained frozen in place.If she was only having doubts before, what the police said had confirmed that someone powerful in Luton had interfered with the investigation.She could not be sure if it was Anthony, as Bianca was already empowered to do a lot of things as his fiance.Anthony's helicopter did not turn back, so she went back to Luton on it again.The helicopter stopped on the top floor of the Archduke Group and she went into the elevator to get to Anthony's office.She almost bumped into Oliver along the way and though Oliver knew that Anne was traveling on Anthony's helicopter, he immediately went to stop her when he noticed that she was heading for Anthony's office. "Hang on, Ms. Vallois..."Without stopping to knock, Anne had barged inside and Oliver's heart sank as
One could not change their position that had been decided for over a decade.Bianca got up and walked toward Anne, before apologizing, "Anne, I apologize for what my mom did, but your mom isn't exactly innocent either, is she? Regardless, she was the one who started this. You know that your brother-in-law hates homewreckers the most, but your mom simply won't stop being one. Do you know how heartbroken I was when I found out that Dad has visited Santa Nila multiple times? You can't understand."Anne glared at her, knowing that Bianca was hinting that she could not understand because she was a homewrecker as well."After that, Dad was so allured that he wanted to divorce my mom. My mom lost her mind," Bianca continued, "your mom is still alive now, so let's just set this aside.""After all you've said, I suppose it would be rude of me to refuse, right?" Anne said angrily. "My mom deserved it, after all. Right?""Anne, you need to keep your temper in check. In the end, this is a fam
Yet he had lectured her for Sarah's sake.Sarah was no one but a homewrecker and he could not possibly think that what Sarah did was right.Bianca also knew that Anne was not traveling on Anthony's helicopter for the first time, or she would not be able to return so soon.'Damn you, Anne. You said you won't get involved with Anthony and you've lied to me to get fifty thousand out of me! Why isn't Sarah dead? She should have been dead!' Bianca thought.She went home and Dorothy came down the stairs to welcome her. "Your dad is taking a nap, when did you come here at this time? Did someone cross you?""That Anne Vallois! Do you know how she got back to Santa Nila? She was traveling back and forth with Anthony's helicopter! Was she trying to show off how special their relationship was to me? Ahhh!!!" Bianca screamed hysterically and threw her purse onto the ground."Don't shout. Your dad is sleeping. Don't wake him up.""He should come and see what kind of a person Anne is! She kno
"He won't do it! I'm here!" Bianca said.Nigel got dressed, went downstairs, passed through the living room, and was about to leave."Where are you going?" Dorothy asked anxiously.Nigel did not answer her, nor did he stop walking. Soon, they heard the sound of the car engine."Is he going to find Sarah? Is he..." Dorothy was about to run outside, but Bianca stopped her."Don't go!""Why can't I? He's going to leave us…" Dorothy burst into tears in desperation."Dad is furious. Do you think you can stop him? All he thinks about right now is Sarah, the victim!" Bianca's gaze was ruthless. "No matter what, I won't let Dad divorce you!"Dorothy was consoled when she heard that. "Bianca, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, your dad won't want me anymore." "How can I let Sarah and Anne have it easy? No one can take away what's mine!" Bianca gritted her teeth, wishing that she could tear them into pieces! Anne arrived at the hospital and asked the nurse to rest. Then, she sat bes
