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
They only knew that Nigel was their boss.Anne happened to be standing next to the platform. The worker standing on it was laying a wall, and he greeted Anne.When the worker saw Mr. Walker's hinting gaze, he immediately kicked out the steel pipe under his feet. The steel pipe rolled down from above, aiming straight at Anne's head.Anne heard the sound and looked up, just to find the tip of the steel pipe falling straight to her face.With this angle and height, the steel pipe could pierce directly through her face──"Ms. Vallois, watch out!"Mr. Walker's reminder was too late. Anne realized what was happening, but her body froze as if it had not received the signal from her brain.Something horrific was going to happen, and it was a matter of life or death.Suddenly, a figure next to Anne jumped over, hugging Anne's shoulders, and took her to the side.Clink-clank!The steel pipe fell to the ground.Anne turned to look at Anthony, still in shock.Mr. Walker ran over to s
"Corentin does everything with a purpose. Even if Mr. Faye woke up, it wouldn't have affected his status as the heir.""Who the hell would it be? I just don't get it." Anne was distressed. "With Dad's death, there'll be a slimmer chance of me knowing anything that had happened between him and the Lloyd family. Or did Dad's death have something to do with the Lloyd family? So, was it Cory? But he's Cory's son…is it possible?""That depends," Anthony said, "it's not uncommon for father and son to turn against each other.""You think it's suspicious too?" Anne asked."Corentin has a surgical scar on his chest, and it's probably to fool others," Anthony said.Anne was shocked by Anthony's profound insights. "Was it to ensure Salvatore resembled Corentin more?""Corentin himself had heart disease. " "I didn't find out about that." Just as Anne said that, she saw Anthony glancing at her, and she could not help complaining inside, "Yes, I'm not as powerful as you. Okay?""Only t
The three little ones ran out of the mansion, huffing when they walked down the stairs with their short legs. Anne turned around. As if she had just remembered something, she said. "By the way, I'm bringing the children to my mom's. I'll send them back tomorrow."She could not care less whether Bianca was staying here or not. Then, Anne carried the triplets into the car one by one in front of Anthony. The triplets even looked out from the car window and waved at him. "Bye-bye!"Anthony's face turned really gloomy as he watched the car leave, and he was also exuding a terrifying aura!Bianca asked gently, "Anthony, let's go in. Let's have dinner first, and I'll play the piano for you after. I recently wrote a piece, and I really want you to listen to it. You're the first to hear it!"Now that Anne had left and even brought along the three noisy children with her, she and Anthony could enjoy their private time together. Anne got out of the car, wanting to carry the children
Anne's head plunged directly into Anthony's arms, and her whole body leaned against him, tightly wrapped by the powerful man's domineering aura.Then, she struggled anxiously. "I can't either!"Anthony grabbed her chin, squinting slightly. "Let's find out.""No...mmf!" Just as Anne spoke, her little mouth was kissed and swallowed.Anne turned her face away, feeling short of breath. Then, Anthony's face was buried in her neck, causing her body to tremble uncontrollably. When she realized the driver was about to start the car, Anne hurriedly shouted, "I'm not leaving!""The children are here, and they don't need you to accompany them." Anthony's voice was hoarse, and his obsidian eyes stared at her as if she were prey. "...Did you find who killed my dad?" Anne blurted out in a panic, but it was also the hardest truth. She did not want to be taken away, and she did not want to have anything to do with Anthony.Anne was simply not in the mood. Nigel's death was a knot in her h
