"It's good that you know how to deal with it. If you're overwhelmed, you must tell me, okay? I can also help you.""Alright." There was a knock on the door, and the door opened. Soon after, Tommy walked in with a stern look, holding a fruit basket. Sarah was surprised and glanced at Anne."Why are you here?" Anne asked."I thought you were finally willing to get rid of Anthony and relax abroad. I didn't expect you to come back." Then, Tommy put the fruit basket on the table, looked at Nigel, and asked, "What did the doctor say?""They're still trying to find a cure," Anne said.Tommy did not say anything but just stared at Anne. Later, he asked, "Grab a bite with me?"Anne hesitated and looked at Sarah, saying, "I'm going out for a while."Sarah did not like Tommy very much, but she reluctantly agreed since her daughter said so.Anne was willing to grab a bite with Tommy because she had something to ask him. "Can you help me check something?""So, you're not here to eat wi
"It's true that I just can't let this go. Why should those two sl*ts be given anything? They're getting quite a lot! If we don't have Anthony, what do we have left?"Nigel was the 'rich man' whom Dorothy did not expect. However, she tried her best to remarry him as she saw that his financial resources were improving, which could fully satisfy her ambition of being a wealthy madam. Yet, Sarah and Anne took everything in the end, so how could she be willing to let it go?"No ifs!" Bianca's reaction was so violent that the coffee cup in her hand shook on the coffee table, suddenly lost its stability, and fell to the ground with a thud.Dorothy was taken aback."What 'ifs'? If Anthony wants to get married, the wife must be me! No one can take my place!" Bianca's gaze was fierce. "I'm far better than Anne in terms of appearance and talent. Anthony will only marry me! It's expected that Anthony will be angry because of this incident. In a few days, he'll treat me like before again! "
"If I knew this would happen…I wouldn't have gone abroad. Why did I leave…" Anne was filled with regret, and warm tears welled up in her eyes. "Who would've known such a thing would happen? It's not your fault." Sarah felt sorry for Anne and also for Nigel.Sometimes, Sarah did not know who she should feel sorry for among the three. In truth, her own life was not easy.As she thought about it, she realized her life was simply too harsh. "After your dad broke up with me, I was so angry that I cursed him every day. Why did I want to suffer so much to give birth to his child while he enjoyed his life? Especially the day I gave birth to you, I was in pain the entire time, and I wanted to slap Nigel so badly… I always thought that he'd lived a very comfortable life with his daughter after he remarried. But I didn't expect that it hadn't been easy for him..." Sarah's eyes were red, and the more she spoke, the sadder she became. Then, she added, "I shouldn't have hidden my pregnancy. I
"Nothing. Tell me about this Mr. Kennedy," Anne said, "I want to know more." "Okay." Ken began to talk to Anne about Lionel Kennedy's various hobbies.After Ken left, Anne took out her phone and called Anthony. No matter what, it was better to contact him first. The phone rang a few times before Anthony answered, and Anne asked, "Master, are you busy?""Calling me 'Master'? You must have something to ask me." Anthony's deep voice sounded.Anne tried her best to be as demure as possible. "Yes. Can you let the children visit Grandpa in the ward? I think he might wake up when he hears their voices. This request…isn't too much, right?"Anthony did not answer, making Anne somewhat anxious. He would allow it, right? Or did Anthony disagree because Sarah was there?At this point, was Anthony still holding grudges for Sarah's mistakes?"Pick them up in the afternoon?"Did it mean he agreed to it? Anne quickly sat straight but soon recalled that she had something scheduled in th
Anne used to play golf as a major sport at Cambrick. Hence, she knew how to golf, but certainly not as well as Lionel, who often played the sport. Nonetheless, Anne still bit the bullet and played along with Lionel for the company's sake. Without a doubt, Anne was badly defeated. After a few rounds, Anne was completely humiliated."Hahaha. Even though you lost, you played well. You're a smart girl," said Lionel, "although Mr. Faye doesn't have a son, you're a great daughter!""Mr. Kennedy, you and my dad are the same age, so I think it's only appropriate to call you Uncle Kennedy. Anyway, do you think we can continue the cooperation between our companies, Uncle Kennedy?" Anne seized the opportunity to ask.Lionel raised his finger to stop her. "As I said, I'm not here today to discuss business, and I have no intention of cooperating with your company.""My Dad's company had already cooperated with yours when he was still abroad, and you're both long familiar with each other. Y
When Lionel realized who it was, he rushed forward to greet him, "Hello, Mr. Marwood. My name is Lionel Kennedy. I didn't expect to bump into you here, and I've long been looking forward to meeting you. We just finished here, and I hope you'll have a good time."Anthony glanced at Anne and said, "Since we're here, let's play together!" Lionel was surprised. Although his business was not small, it was not worth mentioning compared to the powerful young man before him. Let alone being able to play together.However, Lionel still humbly said, "I'm golfing with a newbie, so I'm afraid we're not worthy of playing with you, Mr. Marwood.""A newbie…" Anthony's obsidian eyes fixed on Anne, and he raised his hand to call her over. Anne bit her lip and walked over reluctantly, secretly muttering, "What the hell is Anthony doing here? Is he really here for golf?"Of all the times, why did he come when she was here? Was it just a coincidence? Also, he should overlook it directly since
"I didn't lie to you. On the other hand, what are you doing? Why are you here and disturbing the situation?" Anne asked."Do you have a problem with that?""...I won't dare to.""I know you won't." Anthony grabbed Anne's hand and pulled her over. Then, with her back up against his, he guided her step by step. "Pay attention."Anne bit her lip, appearing extremely uncomfortable.Why was he teaching her how to golf this way under everyone's watchful eyes? Anthony was too ignorant of the existence of others!In fact, there was no need to play a game and decide on the winner. Furthermore, with Anthony's sudden appearance, there was no need for her to show up in person to discuss business in Luton in the future!However, Anne did not want this to happen. She wanted to know more about her father, and she wished to use her own efforts and intelligence to run her father's company. Moreover, what good was it to owe Anthony? Nothing! It would only make Anthony treat her more presumptu
Anne turned her face away.Anthony's thin lips pressed against her ears, making her tremble uncontrollably.Anne could tell what Anthony meant by her so-called 'skill'. She did not want such a skill! Anthony's thin lips seductively lingered on her ears. He did not appear unhappy because Anne turned her face away. After all, she was in his control, and he could get what he wanted with just a flick of a finger. Moreover, she seemed interested. "How long has it been since I wanted you? Hmm?" Anthony smelled her sweet body fragrance, and he recalled how heavenly she tasted, arousing him. Anne noticed Anthony's change in mood, and she resisted slightly. "Aren't we picking up the children later?" She did not want to do this kind of thing with Anthony at all. Each time it happened, it just made her understand clearer what she was to Anthony—just like a cheap mistress."Stay at Royal Mansion for the night." Anthony's breath was hot.Feeling his hot breath on her delicate ski
