"Mama, do we call him Great-Grandpa?" Chloe asked."That's right," Anne admitted. The triplets noticed that Anne did not ask them to call Cory 'Great-Grandpa', but they did not ask more after carefully observing her facial expression. "Look after the children. I'm going back to check on my mom." Anne said to Anthony. Then, she told the triplets about the plan, letting them follow their father. The three little ones were quite obedient and followed Anthony without making a fuss.Anne walked out of the funeral parlor. The sun was not dazzling outside, but she felt dizzy. She knew it was because she was extremely sad over Nigel's death and had been crying all day. Nonetheless, how could she be in good spirits?Anne could not help but wonder if she and Sarah would feel even worse once she returned to visit Sarah. Before Anne reached the car, she suddenly felt lighter. Someone had carried her. However, Anne did not even have the energy to resist, and she was already in the car be
"Bianca and Dorothy are there. Even Grandpa and Uncle came. It doesn't matter if I'm there or not," Anne said."They came? I wonder what they're here for. When Nigel was alive, they never visited. Yet after he passed away, they're eagerly…" Sarah started sobbing."Mom, please take care of your health. I lost Dad, so I can't lose you too." Anne was really worried about Sarah. Sarah knew that truth well, but she was so depressed that she could not care less about her own health. "Could it be that everything's a lie? Maybe your dad is just hiding somewhere, and he's not actually dead?" Sarah started letting her imagination run wild. "I hope so too, but Dad was murdered. Don't worry, Mom, I'll definitely catch the murderer."Sarah nodded, looking sad."Do you want to visit Dad?" Anne asked.Sarah shook her head. "Forget it. Let him rest in peace. I can't do anything for him anyway."Anne did not say anything more. After having a quick meal with Sarah, she left. Anne was ver
"How can you guarantee her phone is not being monitored?"Anne froze.Anthony was right. Corentin was Salvatore, who tried her best to find Ashlynn and bring her back. Would he not monitor her?Anne had experienced the same with her phone before, and she was no stranger… Anthony grabbed her wrist and led her to the lounge next to the funeral parlor, where the triplets were waiting. Anne turned her head and saw Anthony take out his phone. Then, he walked out as he answered the call.Was he investigating Corentin… "Plant a listening device on the bodyguards who are close to Corentin. Don't leave fingerprints.""Yes, Mr. Marwood." Logically, exposing a listening device planted on a person was easier than on the car. However, the Lloyd family's history was not clean, and such people were more cautious about their own things.Anthony was worried that the eavesdropping application would be scanned as soon as it was installed. Therefore, it would only take them three days to
Dorothy and Bianca did not feel at ease even though Nigel was dead. After all, Anne was still in control of the company, and they would still have to vent this resentment no matter what.Then, Dorothy dragged Bianca to discuss the countermeasure for dealing with a situation, saying, "The company will sooner or later fall into our hands. Mr. Walker is now in charge of the expansion of the factory building. By letting him make sure that the building is jerry-built and causing the death of others, the company's higher-ups will surely not let go of Anne even if she has Anthony to suppress public opinion. Then, we'll intervene. Anne will surely be a mess and can't manage the company anymore. That's when we'll show up. No matter what, you're still Nigel's daughter. Everything will be fine as long as the company's higher-ups support you."Bianca pulled a long face. Was she still considered Nigel's daughter?Of course. As long as others were unaware, she was still Nigel's daughter. This
Ashlynn wondered, "Who would attack a comatose person? Was it necessary? After all, the chance of him waking up was very small, wasn't it?"As if she were enlightened, Anne thought Ashlynn was right. What happened was simply illogical… She wanted to tell Ashlynn something about Corentin, but fearing that she was being monitored, she deliberately said, "Wait a minute, let me check if anyone outside is eavesdropping. Before this, Anthony had also installed a monitoring application on my phone, controlling my words and actions. It was terrible..."Anne deliberately made noises, opening and closing the door.During this time, the light switch in Ashlynn's mind also seemed to be turned on and off. Installing a monitoring application on her phone?Was Anne secretly hinting at her something? Then, Anne said, "Someone's here. Let's talk about this later.""Alright." The call ended. Ashlynn stared at her phone. Did Corentin bug her phone?She did not continue using her phone,
Salvatore was a monster, a ruffian, with endless energy.How could he have heart disease?"Could it be that it was not a congenital heart disease?" Anne suspected. "He's not the real Corentin, nor does Salvatore have heart disease, so this is the only possibility. Perhaps…you can check whether the previous Corentin had such illnesses or not." "Alright. I'll find a way to tell you any strange things I find," Ashlynn said."Please be careful." After hanging up the call, Ashlynn thanked the shopkeeper and left the pet store. On the surface, she seemed to wander casually on the streets, but she was actually hoping to bump into a pharmacy.Ashlynn looked around and noticed a pharmacy not far away. Then, she adjusted her mood and headed over. After entering the pharmacy, she walked around the health supplements section. Soon, a shopkeeper asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?""I'll take this." Ashlynn chose a bottle of vitamin C, then asked hesitantly, "Do you have bir
"No," Ashlynn answered without hesitation. Corentin held her hand in the dark. "We went to the movies together before. Do you remember what movie it was?"Seeing that he had changed the subject, Ashlynn was relieved and answered, "I don't.""Romance."With the hint, Ashlynn was forced to remember the romance movie.After finishing the movie and returning home, her adoptive parents were killed in the fire, and the house was burned to the ground. All she really remembered was Corentin's ruthlessness while everything else had watered down and disappeared.There was no love at all. She initially thought they were saving each other, but that life turned into a joke."In crime films, the criminals can never be the protagonist. That's not morally allowed." Ashlynn looked at the big screen. The criminal tricked the women into his house, then killed them, burying their bodies in his backyard."Indeed. The rules of the world are determined by the strong," Corentin added. Ashlynn rem
Ashlynn felt no tenderness, only eeriness.The man in front of her was simply sick to the core! "As I said, I want you to have my child. Don't do this again, or I'll be upset." Corentin's expression was gloomy.His 'upset' was not losing his temper like ordinary people, but he would kill someone.Ashlynn knew him too well. "But…Elder Lloyd won't agree to it." Ashlynn made an excuse. She did not want to have Corentin's child, nor did she want the child to have such a father.What would happen when the child grew up? Would he be the same as Corentin?That was simply terrifying! "Don't worry. He'll surely want my child," Corentin said, "because it's what I want."The latter sentence was very strange.Ashlynn did not dare to refute at all, and her body trembled slightly.Corentin kissed her soft lips. "Don't you think we're like a couple who are rekindling their relationship? If we have children, it'll be even better."Ashlynn closed her eyes in despair, clutching her finge
