Charlie raised his hand, touching the roof of the car. Anne's mood quavered slightly. ‘Exactly the same? Could it be Anthony? ‘Why would he be there?’ Anne thought inwardly. "Is it my cute Papa?" Chris asked. "Papa is dead!" Chloe reminded him. Charlie asked, "Mama, where's the picture of Papa?" "Ah, I'll go back and show you." Anne paused and then said, "That is definitely not your father. He might be a bad guy. If you see him in the future, you must avoid him, especially with your face hidden. Do you understand?" "Okay!" The three of them were puzzled, but they still listened to their mother's words. After getting home, they looked at the photo that Anne had taken out. The three kids sat closely and stared at the man in the photo with big eyes. Cheyenne pulled Anne aside and asked, "Who is it?" "I don't know. I got a random photo from the shop," Anne said. "Is this going to work?" Cheyenne asked. "I can't give them Anthony's photo, can I?" Charlie, Chris,
"Of course, you won't say it. You're a thief!" Sarah could not bear it any longer. "Whatever you say. I wasn't the one who was at fault anyway." Cheyenne wasn't afraid of her, so she turned around and left. Sarah was so angry that she smashed her bag on the ground. She thought that if Cheyenne were sent to prison, she would not trouble them in the future. Unexpectedly, she came out in just a few days. Something was going on. Surely Anne had asked Anthony to help, otherwise there was no way Anne could have done this since she had no power at all. Sarah was confused about why Anthony would do such a thing. She was sick of everything going Anthony's way. She had had enough of his oppression! Anne had just been on duty for two days when she received a call from Sarah. "You want to get something to eat?" "Yeah, just you and me. I have already reserved a room in the restaurant." Anne was puzzled. "Is today a special day?" "Does it have to be a special day to have a me
Anne had to accept the situation. She could not run away, leaving Lucas here alone; that would just make her look rude... Lucas gave her the menu, but Anne hurriedly refused. "You can go ahead. I can eat anything..." "Is there anything you can't eat?" "I… I'm allergic to seafood, but it doesn't matter. You can order what you want. Just order me a vegetarian dish." Anne felt uncomfortable. Lucas smiled and said nothing, burying his head in the menu. When the dishes came, Anne found that there was no seafood at all. She could eat all of them. Lucas said, "I don't eat seafood much. It's too troublesome." Anne did not know if what he said was true, but he made her feel comfortable. He was elegant, well-mannered, and his gestures were decent. However, Anne was still a little nervous. Probably because he was the principal in the nursery! Even after graduating, she had the urge to sit upright whenever she saw a teacher or a principal... Besides, he was her kids’ princi
Anne did not dare to look at Anthony's face. Even when she did not look at him, the pressure in the air made her feel breathless. She said fearfully, "It's not what you think." "What is it then?" Michelle spoke in a mocking tone. Anthony brushed past her, his black eyes sweeping across Lucas' face coldly. Lucas was not afraid but still frowned slightly. He could tell that Anthony was too sinister. The group walked out of the restaurant, got into the car, and left. Lucas looked back and saw Anne, who was standing there absent-mindedly, and asked, "Are you okay?" Anne came to her senses, but her lips were still trembling. "It's okay, let's go..." In the car, Anne looked as the scenery of the streets slowly fell behind her. Her clear pupils were filled with anxiety. 'Just my luck to run into Anthony right after a meal. 'Would he think that I'm on a date? 'I'm just out here for a meal! 'Michelle's presence here meant that Anthony's meal had nothing to do with entert
Ron had no idea about it for sure.Nobody had the authority and power to pull off a huge plot except for Anthony. He thought that Anthony was just threatening, but he did not expect him to do it! ‘Does he want us to go bankrupt?’ he thought inwardly. Ron had no choice but to find Anthony. The security guards kicked him out before he even entered the building of the Archduke Group. If he had moved slower, he would probably be in the hospital by now. Even Anne, who had never read the news, knew something was happening. She heard the gossip among her colleagues mentioning that the Marwood Group was going to go bankrupt. In Luton, everyone knew about the Marwood Group. Nobody expected such a huge group to go bankrupt in such a short amount of time. It was what it was, though. Anne was shocked, and then she received a call from her aunt. Sarah cried on the phone as she said, "This must be Anthony's doing! Who else has so much power except for him? He has long dislik
Anne's heart subconsciously tightened. It was Anthony's bodyguard... She got into the car after opening the door. Anne sat alone in the back seat, feeling insecure. She was in despair. She had not expected a car to pick her up. 'No matter what happens, I'll do anything as long as I can help my aunt. 'Will helping my aunt be the same as helping my mom?' Anne was too afraid of what would happen, so when she got out of the car, her feet were a little weak.She lifted her head and saw the majestic, towering skyscrapers. It was also a symbol of power. Following the bodyguard, Anne entered the Archduke Group and took the elevator straight to Anthony's floor. Oliver, Anthony’s secretary, then took Anne to the office. After Oliver knocked on the door, she let Anne go in alone. Oliver closed the door when Anne went in. Now, there was no way for Anne to escape. Anne's heart beat fiercely. Unexpectedly, the lights in the office were not turned on, and the darkness e
Anne turned back and looked at Michelle who was arrogant, feeling unlucky. She did not want to have any conflict with Michelle. Michelle looked contemptuous. "Anne, it's been a long time since I've seen you. How much more shameless can you be? You were chased away, and yet you still return. Are you so short of men?" "I need his help with something." Anne looked upset and she really had nothing to say to such a snobbish woman. "Something? Is it about the Marwood family? Don't come here anymore. Anthony will never forgive them. It's no use crying and begging. Do you know why Anthony would not see you? Because I'm here, of course, he doesn't have the time to talk to you." The security guard pressed the elevator buttons for Michelle before she walked in. Anne looked at Michelle's smug face behind the elevator door. She knew that if she could not do it today, it might not be possible to find Anthony tomorrow. Anthony never promised that he would let the Marwood family off th
The more Michelle thought about it, the angrier she got.She really wanted to get closer to Anthony, but she could not.‘Am I not attractive enough?‘Has Anthony ever touched Anne?’She laughed at herself. ‘How could it be possible? Anne is the person who disgusts him the most!‘Eating together and buying Aesthetic Clinic for her were just his weird ways of torturing her!‘Otherwise, how could Anthony sabotage the Marwood family?’Michelle would not admit that Anne was anyone special to Anthony.Seeing that the Marwood Group was on the verge of bankruptcy, Ron and Damian had to go to the retirement village in the suburbs where Elder Marwood was based.Elder Marwood sat on the main seat. He was in his eighties. Other than his gray hair, he looked good for someone his age. He also looked very healthy. His usually rosy expression became full of anger as he stared at his two sons."Being forced into this by your own son, your nephew… and you both have the guts to come and find
