"Why are you hesitating? If you slit your throat open, Anne will be able to see the kids. Aren't you concerned about Anne? Let her see your love for herself!" Bianca challenged her. She desperately wished to see Sarah's blood spurting out. She loved to see the mistress being ended! Sarah's hand holding the knife was trembling, still enraged. "Bianca, you will be punished!" "A mistress telling a legitimate wife that she will be punished? You really are thick-skinned. Not sure who is being punished now. I am waiting to see how you die," Bianca said sarcastically."So you wish to see me dead? Fine! Ask Anthony to come out now! If he allows Anne to see the kids, I will die right away," Sarah said. "It's funny how you are trying to play the psychology card with a smart person. What about this? I promise, as long as you are dead, I will plead with Anthony to allow Anne to see the kids?" Bianca despised her.Sarah laughed and replied, "Do you really wish to see me dead? Then I will
"Anthony listens to me all the time. I just need to say the word, and Anthony will give in." Bianca was even excitedly anticipating the barking from Sarah. That must be music to her ears! Sarah took a deep breath and was about to sacrifice herself."I think there will be a big problem!" Sarah turned around and was shocked to see Anne. A hint of shame flashed through her face, as she did not want her own daughter to see this scene. "Why are you here? Go back!"Bianca's eyes were menacing. How dare she kill her fun!"What else can she do here other than bark with you… Ah!" Bianca was pushed away by Anne before she could finish her sentence. Her body fell backward, and she lost her balance in her high heels shoes, making her look extremely bad."Get up." Anne pulled Sarah from the ground. She checked the injury on the back of her palm. Her skin was scratched. Even her face was red and swollen because of the slap. Anne's heart was cold, and her blood was boiling, so much so it
He did not expect things to turn out this way!He thought Anne would be here to bring Sarah away, and that was it. He could feel that this was the end of the world for Anne. He looked at Mr. Marwood subconsciously. Under the overcast sky, he exerted such intimidating pressure. "Anne, you are saying that…" Bianca wanted to stand up for Anthony but was interjected harshly by Anne. "Shut up!"Bianca was shocked. Her eyes were glaring with fire, her fists clenched by the sides of her body, and she did not even realize that her fingernails were digging into her flesh.Anne did not even take one look at Bianca. "Is your woman more important than your children? Why have I not noticed that you are such a lovesick boy? Do you really not know how evil Bianca is? Really, you think that the kids' allergy reaction was an accident? Had I given birth to the triplets for you to ruin them?"Bianca denied, "This was an accident! Anthony's children are my children too, I see them as my own!"
The car drove out of The Curve. Anne sat in the passenger seat, holding the knife in her hand, fingers caressing the blade's back. Sarah felt anxious looking at her gesture. "Put… that knife away. Why are you holding it?""Now you are scared of the knife. Why did you bring the knife to the Royal Mansion if you are scared? Don't you know how dangerous it is?" Anne's voice was shaking. Was it because of her rage or her fear? Sarah was feeling guilty. "I… I was only trying to scare them.""What if you got injured yourself?" Anne asked. She could not ever forget what she saw. As soon as she got out of the car, Bianca stepped on her mother, her face insanely satisfied. She should have slapped her more than once across her face! "What you did was definitely more dangerous than me holding a knife. You even did it in front of Anthony. He did not kill you. It makes me wonder if we did something really great in our past lives." Sarah could even feel the shivers down her spine as
"Oh Lord!" Sarah just came over from the other side of the car as she witnessed the scene.Anne stared blankly into the knife in her hand. The scene of the knife going through Bianca's belly flashed before her. Her mind went blank as if it could not comprehend how all this happened."Anne!"Anne came back to her senses after hearing her mother. While trembling, her hand let loose the knife. "Ah!" Bianca fell on her back to the ground.The knife was still in her belly and covered entirely in a pool of blood. "No… It was not me. She slammed into me herself…" Anne's voice was trembling. Her brain was trying hard to recall, but it was a mess, and she could not think straight.Her hands were covered in blood. Sarah went forward to hug her. "This has nothing to do with us. She asked for it herself."Anne suddenly regained herself and pushed Sarah away. She picked up her phone in the car, still stunned. Should she call Anthony or 911?It would definitely take time for the amb
Sarah did not know what to say. She was worried and flustered.If Anne were convicted of murder, this would be serious! Anne was about to get off the car when they arrived at the hospital, but Sarah stopped her. "Are you really going in?""Mom, wait here. I will go in and see.""How can I let you go alone? I will go with you."Anne and Sarah went into the hospital and headed to the operations theater. They saw Anthony, who was standing outside of the operations theater. Anthony turned around, his hawk eyes locked onto Anne. Anne told herself that she could not back out. She did not need to be scared because she did not do it. She went forward and said, "It was not me…"Before she could finish her sentence, Anthony's slap landed on her face."Ah!" Anne lost her balance and fell to the ground. "Anne!" Sarah went forward and hugged Anne. "This is the punishment for you acting without thinking twice!" Anthony was emitting hostility.Sarah looked up furiously. "Anthony, p
Perhaps the truth was complicated?He went out of the ward and pursued, "Anthony, who hurt Bianca?""It was an accident." Anthony's expression was grim but deep."Could it be… related to Anne?" Nigel took a guess. "The two of them were fighting over a knife and Susan accidentally got injured." Anthony's expression was cold. He gave an answer without investigating it and knowing the truth.Nigel was shocked, and it was indeed related to Anne. "Then where is Anne?" He asked. "She went back. She is fine."Nigel frowned. They had so many issues, one after another. "Then what exactly was the reason?"Anne was back at the mansion. She sat on the couch, her expression moody. The first thing Sarah did upon reaching home was to get ice cubes from the fridge, wrap them inside a towel, and apply them to Anne's face. Otherwise, she would probably not be able to see other people for some time. The cold ice lowered the temperature on Anne's cheeks, and she knew how hard that one
"Anthony said it was an accident," Nigel said.Bianca was stunned. Anthony said… it was an accident?"What accident?" Dorothy could no longer hold her temper. "The two of them were fighting over a knife, and the knife accidentally hurt Bianca," Nigel said. Dorothy was enraged. "Do you even believe it? If it was an accident, why didn't the knife hurt that sl*t, Anne? Why did it only hurt Bianca? I am going to kill her right now!"Nigel stopped her. "You can't go!""Why can't I? Nigel Faye, are you okay? You watched Bianca growing up. Is she less important than Anne? Your daughter was almost killed by that sl*t!" Dorothy yelled. Nigel frowned."Fine, I will not kill her. You go and seek justice for Bianca!" Dorothy said angrily. In fact, Nigel called Anne, and Anne explained everything to him. Bianca was injured and looked as though she was wronged. "I will get her to apologize to you," he said. "Apologize? That's all? Bianca deserved to be stabbed? I want to lodge a
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
