Bianca's menacing eyes glanced at her. "A good person? Who are you to judge me? Even if I am a bad person, Anthony will still want me! You are only a play toy to Anthony, and you are not even on par with the masseur girls at the roadside shops. At least they get paid for it. What did you get? You are not worth a single penny! Also, I will be staying overnight in the Royal Mansion more often. It's better for you not to interrupt Anthony and me."Then, she left.Of course, Anne knew what she was to Anthony, but she would not let Anthony touch her ever again. Since Bianca was going to spend her nights at the Royal Mansion, she could bring the kids out! That afternoon, she went to the Royal Mansion and brought the kids to Sarah's mansion. She did this for two reasons. Firstly, she did not want the kids to be in contact with Bianca, and secondly, the kids could distract Sarah so that she would not keep thinking about Nigel. She watched the triplets having fun with their grandmothe
The next morning, Anne entered the office. She was stunned when she saw the man sitting on the couch but immediately regained herself and strode across indifferently to her table, then sat down in her chair. She asked, "Coffee or tea?"Anthony's dark eyes locked onto hers. He thought, what an insincere question. There was only this one single woman in this world that dared challenge him!"Where are the kids?""They are at my mother's. We shall see how long they would like to stay. I guess there is no need to send them back so soon?" Anne thought, 'Didn't you already know about it? Why would you even need to ask? I bet you already knew about it all along.'"Don't cross the line."Anne pursed her lips, and she still did not dare to provoke him too far. She said innocently, "They went out on the ocean and were keen to share their experience with their grandma. I think they will be visiting their grandfather in the afternoon then. How am I crossing a line? Why are you here this
After the dangerous feeling intensified, Anthony let go of her and then stood up. He said with an undefiable ordering tone, "Send the kids back to the Royal Mansion before you depart to Athetin."Then, the door slammed shut. Anthony left without even drinking a cup of coffee. She looked at the closed door and could feel her every nerve relax. She thought she should take it slow with the kids' matters. She did not expect that Anthony would be filing divorce with Bianca because of this. She was not indispensable, and he could literally get any girl he wanted to! Plus, Anthony was a lonely and manipulative man. He liked to have everything under his control, not the other way around. He would not listen to her threats. If she mentioned this again and again to him, perhaps he would even feel annoyed and ignore her in the future. After all, all she cared about were the kids. As long as the kids were familiar with both sides, she thought it would be okay to co-parent the ki
"Your assistant is an interesting person. We had lunch before, but she is still so timid." Corentin was wearing a light smile on his face. Anne was surprised. "Only the two of you?" Ashlynn had never mentioned this before. Obviously that meant it was her personal matter. "My car hit hers. I was making compensation," Corentin said briefly.Anne understood. She just did not expect her uncle, the person who was in control of the entire Lloyd Group and even the Athetin city's economy, to have such a big heart. She then thought about Anthony, who shared the similarity of holding immense power and influence. Why were the two so different? They arrived at Corentin's mansion. It was surrounded by hills and the waters, the land was spacious, and it was a priceless property. There were three stories, and each floor had its own balcony. It was very elegant. It was not something that an ordinary person could ever attain. Anne was arranged to stay at Corentin's mansion while the re
"There really is no need for it. Thank you for offering, Mr. Lloyd. I will go back to the room first," Ashlynn said, and then took a bow before turning around and walking away.Corentin went to the sink. He looked at himself in the mirror, adjusted his glasses, and was only satisfied after he looked put together. It was in the afternoon, so everyone was only mildly tipsy, just like Anne was. When Ashlynn returned to the main room, she did not drink anymore. Corentin helped her to block most invitations and half-jokingly said, "Don't you scare away my Anne's personal assistant."The other colleagues did not insist on making her drink either. When Ashlynn woke up, she felt something was off in her room. It was not a regular hotel room. It was spacious, and the interior was luxurious. It was more like a room at a private residence. Ashlynn remembered that she had come out of the hotel and then entered the car together with Anne but had no recollection of what had happened af
When Cory Lloyd saw the girl, his expression changed slightly.Of course, he knew who this girl was. Corentin had already told him about it, and he had mentally prepared for it.Nevertheless, when he finally met her, it felt overwhelmingly heavy. "Dad, this is Anne, Nigel's daughter. Anne, this is Grandpa," Corentin said.Anne knew that she should be calling him Grandpa, but she could not bring herself to do it. Cory pointed to the side and said, "Take a seat!"After sitting down, Cory looked at Anne and said, "You don't look much like your father."Seeing his own granddaughter, not only did he not express any enthusiasm, but he said something like that. Anne did not mind. She questioned, "Do you even remember what my father looks like?"He did not ask a single thing about Nigel all these years, and he probably would not even need to remember his face anymore! "He is my son, I will never forget no matter how many years it has passed. I know you are blaming me and feeling
Oliver was taken slightly aback, he then followed, "Mr. Marwood, what happened?""Someone drugged me. Get someone to investigate!" Anthony's tone was ruthless, and he would not let the person who did this walk on this earth be alive ever again!"What?" Oliver was shocked and immediately requested the bodyguards to investigate it in the room and then called the driver to get the car over. As soon as he hung up, he met Bianca with her friends.Bianca smiled as soon as she saw Anthony. "Anthony, you are here!""Yes." Anthony was suppressing the uncomfortable feeling in him and was not in the mood to chat with her. Bianca only had eyes for Anthony. "Are you going back? Actually, it does not matter if I had dinner already or not. I can go back with you.""Don't need to. I am going back to the office to do something."Oliver could not understand. If he guessed it right, the drug should make all men beasts.Bianca was a perfect bait in front of him, and he could have just brought B
Bianca's car drove to the Royal Mansion. As soon as she saw Hayden, she asked, "Where is Anthony?"Hayden was stunned. "Mr. Marwood is yet to return.""Yet to return?" Bianca could not believe it. Could Anthony really be at the office? Without further ado, she turned back to her car, slammed on the accelerator, and sped away.No matter where Anthony was, she was determined to find him. At that moment, only she could be with him. Other women should not have a chance at all! However, when she arrived at the Archduke Group, she was also informed that Anthony was not around either. Why? He was not at the Royal Mansion, and he was not at the office, then where could he be?Could he be at the hospital?Bianca then went to the hospital. She did not even knock on the door and entered Kathryn's office. Kathryn, who was treating a patient, looked up, "Ms. Faye, what's up?""Has Anthony come here to see you?""Mr. Marwood did not see me. Why? Is he unwell?"Bianca could not let an
