That served as a warning to the others.Anne could not help but take a few steps back.Anthony was too cruel. He was ruthless to women.Michelle was frightened and panicked, but she still mustered up the courage to step forward, saying, "Anthony, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Anne went to find a man whom I had met in the restaurant before. I happened to bump into them. I also took pictures. Go and get my cell phone."She instructed one of the shivering female stars.Anne stood there, not daring to move at all, when Anthony shot daggers at her.The female star came over and said, "I can't find your phone!""Anthony, I'll go get it now and show you the proof..." Michelle could only look for it herself, but she still could not find it. When she came out, she asked Anne, "Did you take my phone?""It's obviously you who wronged me. Maybe you can check the surveillance to see who took it." Anne retorted confidently.Michelle was speechless because there was no surveill
Cheyenne walked out of the apartment, and a car stopped in front of her, scaring her.Sarah got out of the car and said, "Tell me, how much money does it take for you to leave Anne? As long as you ask for it, I can afford it!" Cheyenne had not expected her to come for her again and refused, "I don't want your money.""You don't have to put on airs in front of me." Sarah took out a credit card. "Is this enough?""I said I don't want your money."Sarah laughed. "Wouldn't it be too hypocritical? Is there anyone who doesn't like money these days?" Cheyenne's face was unmoved."Now take the money and leave while I'm in a good mood. Otherwise, you won't even have anything."Cheyenne looked at the card in front of her and stepped back. "I don't need your money. I just want to be with Anne. Don't worry. I will never say anything about you! Just let me go, okay?"Sarah was angry and instructed the driver. "Throw her into the trunk for me! There's no point talking to such disrespectful
"Yay! I can sleep with Ben tonight!" Charlie was overjoyed."I don't want to go home either!""Can we stay in school forever from now on?" Chris asked.Anne burst out laughing. She had originally thought that they would have a hard time adjusting, but they seemed reluctant to go home. Once the children were sound asleep, she stepped out to the corridor and saw Lucas walking toward her."Mr. Newman, are you not going home?" she asked."I will give you a lift," he said."I…" Just as she was about to refuse, horror took over her expression."What's wrong?" Lucas turned around and saw a towering figure stepping out of the darkness from a distance; his expression was vicious and devilish under the lights as he approached.Anne instinctively took a step back."What are you doing here?" Anthony ignored Lucas and stared coldly at Anne.Anne paled as her mind went completely blank."It looks like you didn't bear what I said to you in mind." Anthony's voice remained calm, but the soun
He glanced at the frustrated expression on her face and watched as the reflection of the street lights dancing on her pale skin though the window.He could still taste her on the tip of his tongue and his whole being longed to get closer to her.His phone vibrated and he reeled in his urges, before answering. "Speak.""The people in the area said that Cheyenne was taken away by Sarah.""Bring her back and don't bother playing nice," he commanded, before tossing his phone aside."Did you find my mom?""I did. How are you going to repay me?" His eyes glittered with lust in the dark.Familiar with the look in his eyes, she swallowed nervously and glanced outside the window, knowing perfectly well that she had no right to say no.Anthony's men stormed into Ron's mansion demanding for Cheyenne and shoved everything aside that stood in their ways barbarically.Terrified, Sarah immediately informed them where Cheyenne was. They went to open the back truck of the car and released Chey
Anthony sat on the couch like it was his throne with his legs crossed, his presence mighty and unreachable.Before him kneeled a woman with her clothes half-torn, revealing a wound on her arm. Four bodyguards stood behind the woman, ready to pounce at any movement.Anne knew that Anthony did not bother with the gender of the person he killed.Just as she stood there and contemplated whether to go downstairs or head back, Anthony's husky voice echoed in the hall. "Come down here."Without even looking over at Anne's direction, he had already made the decision for her.Anne slowly walked down the stairs and stopped until she was a meter away from Anthony. She finally saw the woman's face, unfamiliar, and filled with terror."Is this her?" Anthony asked.Knowing that the question was directed at her, Anne took a closer look at her face and figure before responding hesitantly, "I didn't see her face back then."Anthony leaned forward and stared at the woman intently. "Why did you t
She had not expected Anthony to continue looking into it."Why was Anne looking for you at the school?" He questioned, "Was she there for you, or for something else?"Anne bit her lower lip and glanced at her mother nervously.They definitely could not tell the truth, or they would all be dead.Anthony did not bother looking at Cheyenne; his eyes remained fixated on Anne when he was asking the question and waiting for the answer.Anne struggled to breathe under the pressure; she started to feel dizzy from the shortness of breath, so she had no opportunity to give her mother any hint at all."I… I wanted to work for the school and cook for the children," Cheyenne said in fear, not knowing if she had said the right thing.Anne remained expressionless but was relieved at Cheyenne's response.Anthony looked away from Anne's face and commanded, "Hayden, sent these two back."With that, he turned and left."Yes, sir."Anne and Cheyenne went back… and neither dared to say anything
It felt much better to know where Anthony was, just like how it was always better to know where the monster was when one was lost in a forest.Anne did not know when he would appear or attack, so she needed time to prepare herself, instead of waiting passively for him to jump her, otherwise she would be dead before she knew it.Even so, it was still extremely challenging for her to escape Luton.She could not obtain her passport. After failing to escape the first time, Anthony had been more cautious with her. Aside from that, knowing where Anthony was did not mean everything, because he still had a team of capable bodyguards.Still, her situation had improved slightly.Considering what had happened, Anne decided that she needed to speak to her aunt and made a phone call to her."Anne, why are you calling me during this time of the day? Aren't you busy at work?" Sarah asked gently."Aunt Sarah, what happened yesterday?" Anne asked, "I was worried sick after you called my mom over
Meanwhile, Tommy and his father were having their dinner.His father, Damian, complained relentlessly, "Ever since your grandfather knows that Anthony is taking over Archduke Group, he now favors Ron over us! If this goes on, the entire inheritance of the Marwood Family would fall upon Ron's hands and there will be no place for us!"Tommy simply continued to eat without a word.Damian stared at his son and was increasingly agitated. "You have never been as good as Anthony. No matter what subject it is, your grades have always been lower than him. If only you excel in anything at all, you wouldn't be this good-for-nothing in our family!"Tommy did not waver at the insult as he was used to being compared to Anthony. He simply wiped his mouth with a piece of tissue paper and said, "Even if you get to inherit everything owned by the Marwood Family, you still won't get to do whatever you want here in Luton. What's the point?""It's still better than nothing!" Damian was enraged by his
