'What is this?' Bianca thought. 'Nigel didn't even mention us at all! Forget his wife, but he didn't even mention me? Is it because he raised me, so he feels sorry for Anne? Is that why he just gave me whatever cash he has in the bank and called it a day?'"Dad is going to wake up at some point, so I don't see the point in signing this," Anne said."The company needs someone to make the calls and for you to do so, you need to sign this," Robert said."Just sign it first. Once your dad wakes up, you can always just give it back to him," Sarah said, deciding that it was still better than to leave the company to Bianca.Anne nodded, before signing her name on the paper, and handing the pen to Sarah.Bianca and Dorothy stared at them with anger boiling in their eyes, Dorothy felt all strength draining from her and fell back to the chair.All the hard work she had placed in her family had gone to waste.After signing, Anne turned to Robert and asked, "You see the state Dad is in righ
"I agree," Anne said."That's right. We aren't afraid of you," Sarah said.Bianca turned to look at Anthony. "Let's do the test here, in case 'someone' tampers with the results."Both Anne and Sarah were enraged by her sarcastic tone."Sure," Anthony said.Kathryn came to draw blood from Nigel and Anne, before taking the samples for a paternity test.Bianca glanced at Anthony darkly and said, "Anthony, I don't feel so well, so I'm going home now. We need to wait for the results to come out, anyway. My mom and I are heading back.""Okay."Bianca and Dorothy left the room and both shot Sarah and Anne a nasty look as they walked past them.Anthony gave Anne a look, before exiting the room as well."Mom, I need to go outside for a moment." Anne followed him out and asked, "What do you want to say? You can't actually think that me and my mom plotted for the will to be written that way, right? We literally just found out.""Mr. Faye went to see the kids before the accident," he sa
All the pain was worth it in the end and she was determined to never disappear again. She would be with her children whenever they wished to see them.As soon as she arrived and got out of the taxi, she spotted the Rolls Loyce outside of the garage, which meant that Anthony was home.She had expected Anthony to hurry over to console Bianca.She walked into the living room and instead of the children, she saw Hayden approaching her. "Ms. Vallois...""Where are the kids?" She blurted out.Hayden smiled. "At the back. Mr. Marwood is with them."Anne immediately ran outside and since the Royal Mansion was enormous, it took her some time to reach the backyard. She wondered why Anthony needed a mansion this size the entire way as every second felt too long to her. By the time she arrived, she was panting and gasping for air.However, when she saw the triplets playing on the field, she could not be bothered to look at Anthony, who was standing on the side."Chloe! Charlie! Chris!" She
"Mama, you need to stop his ball!" Chloe shouted."It doesn't feel good if you don't try to stop it!" Chris said."Huh? I need to stop it?" Anne said dazedly, "Let's start over, then?"She went to take the ball and kicked it toward the triplets, who ran after it right away.Chloe did not know how to play football, so she could only run after it.Anne stood in front of the net as the goalkeeper."Mama, here I come!" Charlie shouted.Anne leaped into action and kicked at the ball flying toward her and sent it away from the net.She stared at the ball and her heart sank when she noticed that it was flying toward Anthony.Anthony stepped on the ball and stopped it."Papa, give it back!"The triplets ran toward it and just when they were about to reach him, he kicked the ball away."Ah! My football!"Anne pursed her lips and wondered if Anthony took her children for puppies that he could toy with; nonetheless, the way her children ran after the football was still extremely ador
Anthony narrowed his eyes dangerously and glanced at Anne.Anne did not mind when Anthony answered his phone but stiffened when she sensed his eyes on her. She started guessing who had called and whether it involved her.'Did Dad wake up?' She thought. 'No, it doesn't look like it judging from the look on Anthony's face.'"Are you certain?" Anthony questioned hoarsely."Yes. No one else has touched the samples," Kathryn said confidently.Without another word, Anthony hung up and proceeded with eating his lunch.Anne wanted to ask him about it, but held back because the children were still around."Mama, will you stay with us in the evening?" Chloe asked."You don't have work anymore, right?" Chris asked."Papa works and Mama works as well. So annoying!" Charlie complained while waving the spoon in his hand."I do have something to do this afternoon, but I can come back when I'm done," Anne said gently.She did not plan on staying the night. Though she did not care much about
"...Are you doing all these to me because of Bianca?" Anne could n't help but ask. "This is my dad's decision. I didn't even see that coming. You better not be venting your frustration on me.""Who said anything about venting my anger on you?" He scowled impatiently.She bit her lips and thought to herself, "Tell that to the look on your face!'"I'm going to buy food for my mom. Can you...just drop me off on the side of the road?" She just remembered that she was going to buy food for Sarah and was worried that Sarah might be starving by now.She always forgot about everything else whenever she was with her children."Why didn't you say anything in the mansion?" He asked darkly."Are you willing to let them prepare food for my mom?" She retorted.Anthony's expression darkened as he commanded with a cold tone, "Stop the car."The Rolls Loyce stopped by the road and Anne got out to find a restaurant right in front of her.She went inside and turned around to find Anthony's car s
"Swear all you want, but it means nothing," Bianca said as she stared at Anne with contempt. "You pretended to be my dad's daughter to gain his trust. I'm sure you've gotten quite a lot out of him already, right? Whatever he gave you in the past or promised you through his will, none of them are valid anymore!""Dream on!" Sarah refused to allow it."The paternity test results are right here. You can't deny them!" Dorothy said.Anne turned around and stared at Nigel, who remained unconscious on the bed.Could it truly be a misunderstanding?She resembled her mother and did not look much like Nigel, so one could not say with certainty that they were related by looks alone, unlike the way with Chris, Charlie and Anthony. However, her heart still ached.She cared and loved Nigel with all her heart; could such emotion blossom simply because they were once proved to be related by a piece of paper.She refused to believe that and knew that they must have instinctively known that they
Sarah was anxious as she did not want Anne to sign the contract. After all, once she signed it, they would have nothing left. Moreover, signing it would be tantamount to admitting that Anne and Nigel were not related. Would they actually be unrelated?That would be impossible…Anne walked to the desk and took the document. Sarah was about to stop Anne from signing anything when she saw Anne tearing up the document."Anne!" Bianca's face became twisted. "Do you think anything will change just because you tear it?""I won't acknowledge your DNA paternity test." Anne glanced at the mother-daughter duo coldly."Even if you don't trust us, do you not trust Kathryn?" Dorothy asked, "Sarah herself doesn't even know whether you're Nigel's daughter!"Sarah's mind was buzzing. The DNA paternity test and the memories of her past were jumbled up together and could not be distinguished.She had only been with Nigel and Ron. Who else could it be? Moreover, that d*mn gambler did not touch
