Anne narrowed her eyes darkly as Bianca said the same thing as Anthony did.Bianca was important to Anthony, but she was a cheap replacement. She knew it by heart and did not need any further reminders.She desperately wanted to tell Bianca that she was the woman who spent the night with Anthony, wondering how furious Bianca would be. However, she refrained from doing so as her children still needed to live with Bianca."Isn't that a good thing? With another woman in the picture, both of us can lay back and relax," Anne said.Anne's careless tone made Bianca feel as though she was punching at a cushion and that her insults had no effect on Anne.'No. It's definitely working. Anne is just pretending to be fine. She must feel really hurt,' Bianca thought."Anthony went to another woman, which means he's fine without you. But I'm different. I'm still his fiance and no matter how many women he sleeps with outside, nothing will change. Just wait until you feel what it's like to be thr
"It's okay. Dad never mentioned the Lloyds anyway. We will just ignore them. It's just business so let's not overthink this," Anne said.After leaving the hospital, Anne went to the Royal Mansion, and the triplets immediately threw themselves into her arms."Ah... Hang on! Hang on..." Anne gritted her teeth at the soreness at her back.The triplets simply thought that Anne was playing with them and hurriedly crawled up her body."Mama, we heard that you went on a business trip again?""Is it hard to look after Grandpa's company?""I want to help, Mama, so you won't be tired!"Anne stared at their faces and felt all the exhaustion that accumulated within her fading.She cupped their cheeks and planted a kiss on each of their chubby cheeks. "Alright. Mama will retire when you grow up. I'll stay home to laze away while you three go out to earn money.""Yeah! We will work hard!"Anne grinned from ear to ear. It was a good thing to raise them to be responsible. Besides, she did no
"If a boy and a girl go on a date, will they have a baby?" Charlie asked curiously."Are we going to have another sibling?" Chris asked.Anne could sense the dangerous stare from Anthony and immediately covered Charlie's mouth to stop him from continuing.Charlie batted his doe-like eyes innocently while Hayden chuckled from behind them, thinking how wonderful it would be if the five of them were a family."Come on, let's go to eat." Anne dragged her sons away, knowing they would ask more absurd questions if she did not stop them.The triplets were overjoyed to be with their parents, and Charlie insisted on feeding his mother. "Mama, say ah!"Anne smiled and opened her mouth. "It tastes great."Charlie beamed at her.Chloe slipped out of her seat and ran to Anthony. "Where are you two going for your date? To the sea?"Anthony picked her up and set her down on his lap. "No. We will come back tomorrow.""Papa, when can we go to the sea to play again?" Chloe asked."When do you
He got up and went outside the room to find his phone vibrating in the living room. He picked it up and answered the call. "Go on.""We tracked down the waitress, but she quit the next day, so we sent someone to track her down to her place in the outskirts. She said that a guy told her to do it. We checked the surveillance footage and tracked the man down, but he said he was hired by Michelle," Ivan said."Michelle?" Anthony narrowed his eyes dangerously."He doesn't look like he's lying. Mr. Marwood, should we take Michelle into custody?""Go ahead.""Yes, sir."Bianca went to the Royal Mansion that night and asked Hayden, "Anthony hasn't come home?""He's probably still in the office.""I came from the Archduke Group." Bianca tried her best to suppress her anger but could not control her expression."Ah. I suppose he is out on a business meeting, then!" Hayden said."What about the kids?""They are sleeping in the room."Bianca did not care and went upstairs to the childr
Michelle instantly came to a realization that Bianca must have done something and wanted her to take the blame.Bianca turned to face the bodyguards. "Don't take her away. I'll talk to Anthony later.""This is our mission. Please don't make it difficult for us," one of the bodyguards said."I'm Anthony's fiance. What I say goes. Do you want her? Over my dead body!" Bianca insisted.If they took Michelle, she would not be able to control the situation fully.The bodyguards knew that she was Anthony's fiance, or they would not have bothered trying to persuade her and would have forcefully taken Michelle away. Since they could not do so by force, the bodyguards were placed in an extremely difficult position."What are you worried about? I'll tell Anthony that it's not your issue. Whoever came today, I won't let them take Michelle," Bianca said before looking away. "Or you can take me to Anthony instead."She was looking for him anyway.The bodyguards remained quiet, and one of t
Anne sat on the fences, and the man was dressed in pajamas. His back faced Bianca, so she could not see his face, but she could see the way he was holding onto Anne's waist.Anne whimpered and said, "Enough. Let me down..." She grabbed onto the man's shoulders to steady herself."Call me Master."Bianca did not dare to imagine anything when she first saw the man's figure, but her bubble had been shattered when she heard his voice.Her hand on the curtains shivered. She paled while looking at the two across as though she had been struck by lightning."Will you really let me go once I do that? Or are you just going to switch to a different spot? The night before last night, last night and today... You just won't let me leave... Umph!" Anne complained.Anthony sealed her lips.Unable to bear witness to the scene any longer, Bianca stumbled and came close to falling.Her tears scrolled down her cheeks as she realized that they had been together for two nights in a row.'How? The n
Anne walked out of the building and saw the black Rolls Loyce parked in the distance. She hesitated for a moment, before walking over.She had survived this far by the side of this devil, so she figured that she would not get killed simply over her recent discovery.The car door opened and Anthony's superior height was still obvious despite the fact that he was sitting, his intimidating presence oozing out of the tiny space of the back seat, and Anne tensed in response.She glanced at his face, before getting in and settling down on a seat that was furthest from him. She noticed the phone in Anthony's hand and mumbled, "You brought my phone? Thank y-" She reached out for it and immediately felt pressure around her waist as she was dragged over. "Ah!"She fell toward him and was immediately embraced against his body, the burning temperature of his skin transferred to hers through the thin layers of fabric between them as her soft body collided with his.Anne flushed and tried to ge
Anne thought back to when Corentin and Ashlynn had dinner together before and the way Corentin was looking at Ashlynn at the time. "Are you...interested in her?"If he was not interested in her romantically, it could not be hard for the CEO of the Lloyd Group to hire a proper assistant."I am. Give me a chance?""What's Ms. Thompson's thought on this? Tell her to call me. If she's willing to stay, I have no choice."Anne was reluctant and it was hard for her to find an assistant she liked. All things aside, Ashlynn resided in Luton and she did not seem to be a reckless person who would move to Athetin on impulse.After the call, Corentin got up and went upstairs.He was not in the office, but in his mansion at the moment. He walked toward the room and went inside the bedroom.Ashlynn, who was seated on the couch, jumped to her feet in fear as she stared at him warily.He strolled over and glanced at the marriage application form, noticing that there was only his signature on th
