"Don't you be silly, he was only coaxing you. Not only will he not be here to bring you back tomorrow, but he also will not ever again." Bianca did not mind telling her the harsh truth. Anne was crushed and took a step back. "No… He will not…""You killed my mother, and this pissed him off. How would he forgive you? Anthony loved me right from the start. He only married you because of the kids. What else can he do if you do not accept the reality?" Bianca said.Beads of tears rolled down Anne's eyes. She looked up from her blurred vision, and she could still see Bianca's condescending face, clearly written with her consequence for being abandoned.It hurt her deeply. Bianca turned and looked at Marco and immediately looked gentle. "Inspector York, I have some personal matters to speak to her. Can you please…""Be quick." Marco walked out. Bianca's menacing eyes turned to the vulnerable Anne. "You killed my mother. The evidence is concrete. It will definitely be a death senten
'Where are you doing?" "Dorothy's funeral," Anthony said and planted a kiss on Anne's lips.When Anne looked up, Anthony was no longer to be found. The metal door was closed, leaving her alone in the cell again. Anne sat by the bed, soulless, her helpless tears streaming down. It was just like what Bianca said, Anthony would not bring her away. He was even eager to attend Dorothy's funeral. Even if she did not kill, he did not believe her either. She was already very obedient. Why did he still treat her this way…Just because he did not love her?In the graveyard, Dorothy was buried with Bianca, Anthony, and their other friends were present. After the funeral, their friends left. Bianca did not want to leave yet as she was still sobbing. "Mom, please don't worry. The murderer was already captured, an eye for an eye."Anthony's eyes constricted slightly, and his tone was cold. "Let's go."Bianca turned and left. As they walked downhill, Bianca said, "Anthony, can
"She did not know about it does not mean that she had nothing to do with it." Anthony's eyes were dark. The Rolls Loyce parked in front of the police station, and Anthony looked out of the window. He did not get out of the car for a long time and did not get the car to drive away either. Ivan and the driver were quiet. They knew that he was debating with himself internally. After all, it was not a good idea for him to show his care for Anne. The real murderer would only show up when someone became the scapegoat. "Let's go." Anthony's voice was low. The driver then drove away. Anne was in the holding cell, but she was still free. She could still walk around, and there would be meals delivered to her. Anne sat by the bed and looked at the food and drinks on her table. That did not make her feel any better. If anything, that made her feel even more tormented. Anthony did not come by again ever since he left in the morning. He said he would be there later. She waite
Tommy knew from a long time ago that Anthony liked Bianca, even if he was manipulating Anne. However, did he not cancel his engagement with Bianca because of Anne?"I feel guilty toward Bianca." Anthony held the teacup in his hand and took a sip, his dark eyes keeping his emotions tucked away. "I will pull my strings to make sure she is alive. She would, at most, be jailed for five years, and if she performed well, she would be released in a year or two. I will wait for her."Tommy did not expect him to plan for this, and his expression went cold. "Do you really think she killed her? How would it be possible for Anne to kill someone?""She had threatened Bianca with a knife before. Did you know about that?" Anthony asked him.Of course, Tommy did not know about it. "If I did not show up that time, Bianca could have been killed by her. I had punished her before, but she repeated the offense! The witness and evidence are all leading up to her. There is no second possibility." Ant
Was she nothing to Anthony compared to Bianca?The man that she loved was loving another woman. This was even more agonizing than sending her to jail. "Anne!"When Anne was about to enter the car, someone called her. She was stunned and turned around. She saw a car parked in the distance and saw a gentleman-looking man with glasses looking worried.Apparently, Anne could not find any recollection of this man in her memory, and his expressions confused her. Lucas came over but was stopped by the police. "Anne, I will hire the best lawyer in Luton. Don't you worry!" Lucas was almost shouting, he was afraid that she could not hear him, or perhaps he was trying to give her confidence and console her. This was the first person that wanted to help her in the past few days of detention. She could not help but take a few more looks at this man. She wondered, who was this…She did not have much time to think about that either because the police officer next to her was urging her
It was her lifetime wish to have Anne dead. Only with Anne dead would Anthony return to her, then she would be Mrs. Marwood and live happily ever after. After all, her mother was already dead, and she could not revive her. She might as well just… let Anne be the scapegoat. Bianca tossed her phone and then looked at Lilian. She was still mad.Lilian stood up and walked to her. "Now your biggest nemesis is gotten rid of. From now on, our relationship is even closer than ever.""Isn't she your biggest nemesis as well?""Of course, she is," Lilian said. "Who is the love of your life?" Bianca asked. She wondered who else did Anne seduce if she could bring that up in front of Anthony and make her look even more loathsome. "There's no need for you to know about this. Anyway…"Bianca was paying attention but was confused when she saw Lilian stop talking and look strange. She asked, "What happened?"Lilian's instincts were never wrong. Someone was approaching the house, and she
Marco noticed something was not right. His weathered experience brought his body to immediate reaction and knocked him right to his side. "Watch out, Mr. Marwood!"Anthony was knocked over and fell backward. A few bullets swooshed past his ear and landed with a bang in the car that he was standing right next to.Marco shouted into his mic immediately while running with his gun up. "It's the east! The west is the hostage! Chase her!"The bodyguard approached. "Are you alright, Mr. Marwood?""If you can't get hold of her, you will be dead!" Anthony was ruthless."Yes, sir!"Lilian used Bianca to distract most of the people, and then she tried to escape from another side. She noticed Anthony by the car when she was hiding next to the window. Anne was not really her target. In fact, she wanted Anthony's life.Therefore, when she jumped out of the window, her gun was aimed at Anthony.When she landed, she knew that her attempt was unsuccessful. She did not dare stay longer and
The bullets landed on the car door over her head, and the weight exerted downward pressure on her. Lilian clenched her jaw and hunched her back while her legs scurried.The Rolls Loyce pulled over, and Anthony came out of the car. He saw Lilian, who was not dead and not far away from him. He pulled out his gun, and aimed it at Lilian, then with a loud bang—"Ah!" Lilian was shot in the back, and blood spurted out. She rolled on the ground, and the car door dropped to the ground. Lilian then hid behind other destroyed cars. The helicopter hovered over. It would have to make a turn if it intended to shoot Lilian behind the car. However, the railing of the bridge was near. Lilian looked at the railing and thought that this was her only chance to live. She used all her might to run toward the railing."Are you trying to run?" Anthony's gun was once again aimed at Lilian. Lilian used one hand to support herself on the railing and then hopped over.At the same time, the
At first, Corentin was stunned. Then, he said, "Who have I killed? Ash, you've misunderstood. I've changed now. It's true. Hurry up and come down. The ravioli is getting cold.""Don't come over! I'll jump if you get any closer!" Ashlynn shouted hysterically."Alright, alright. I won't go over!" Corentin did not dare to take another step further. "Ash, I'm telling the truth. I didn't kill anybody. Come down, and I'll explain to you. It's all a misunderstanding.""Actually, I've felt it was strange since the beginning. It's just that Anne's reassurance dispelled my suspicion about you." Tears filled Ashlynn's eyes, but they did not stream down her face. She looked at Corentin and said, "But I know everything now. I don't have evidence, but you are Salvatore Yeager. At first, I thought you would change for the sake of the child. In the end… In the end, you didn't even spare the child's grandparents. Salvatore, are you even human? Why would a monster like you exist?""Ash, come down, a
After Ashlynn was discharged from the hospital, she called Anne when she was alone in the room."Anne, are you alright? I heard you were taken by Tommy and were later saved by Anthony.""Mmhmm. I'm fine. I've gotten home safely.""That's wonderful," said Ashlynn.Anne could tell that Ashlynn was not feeling alright, so she asked, "What's the matter? Are you not in a good mood?""I've found out about my parent's passing," said Ashlynn.Anne was stunned. She found out? "I'm sorry, Ashlynn. I've kept it hidden from you.""It's fine. I know you're being considerate to me and the child." Ashlynn took a pause before asking again, "Was Tommy killed by you guys?""No. He fled the cruise ship back then. When we found him, he was already killed by somebody. His body was pulled up from the sea.""Corentin was there as well, wasn't he?""That's right. Did he tell you that?"Ashlynn's eyes looked emotionless. "Have you guys ever suspected Corentin?"Anne immediately got so nervous tha
Corentin hugged Ashlynn. "I heard that Tommy's dead, so your parents' murders have been avenged. Now, they can only rest in peace. Calm down."Ashlynn collapsed in his arms as she cried. Then, she started to feel waves of throbbing pain in her belly, and her face turned pale.Corentin noticed something was not right with her, so he hurriedly roared at the driver, "Go to the hospital now!""Hurry up!" Jeremy urged. He held Ashlynn's hand and realized that it was freezing. "Ashlynn, you have to be alright. You still have me! Hang in there, Ashlynn!"Ashlynn looked at him with tears in her eyes. She was extremely saddened. She could not understand why things would end up like that. Did she not deserve to have parents?When Ashlynn woke up, she was already at the hospital.She subconsciously touched her belly, but Corentin grabbed her hand. "You're showing signs of miscarriage, so you need to recuperate."Ashlynn scanned around the room and asked, "Where's Jeremy?""He's outside. H
"I know…" Jeremy looked up and saw Ashlynn standing at the entrance. He was so shocked, and he immediately stood up. "Why…are you here?"Ashlynn stood there dazed. She looked at Jeremy, then the person who spoke earlier. "What do you guys mean when you talk about my parents' soul resting in peace?""Nothing. We were talking about someone else."Ashlynn could tell from their faces that they were clearly panicking. She was not deaf. She heard what they said clearly.Her face turned pale, and she immediately searched for her phone. She did not have it on her, so she rushed to the car."Ashlynn!" Jeremy ran after her and stopped her. "What are you doing?""I'm going to call Mom and Dad.""They are traveling. Don't disturb them."Ashlynn looked at him. "Jeremy, tell me honestly, why aren't Mom and Dad coming home? Don't lie! I have always felt it was strange. Why haven't they come home when I'm already so far along? Something is wrong, isn't it? Did something…really happen to them?"
Corentin came forward and asked, "Anne, are you alright?"Anne nodded."You don't look too well. What happened?""Tommy's dead," said Anthony."Have you found the cure?" asked Corentin.Anne shook her head."Unfortunately, the infected people would have to endure it a little longer."Anne suddenly thought of something, and she immediately pushed Anthony away. "Don't touch me."Only then, Corentin noticed a small patch of ulcer below Anne's cheek. "Anne, did Tommy drug you?"Anthony frowned. "I don't mind.""I do. Both of us would not be able to have contact with the children, and they will worry." Anne rejected his touch.Anthony had been touching her the whole time. It was unclear if he had been infected. Anne was very worried."It wouldn't make a difference now. If anything, I would have already been infected just now," said Anthony.Anne still refused to listen. "That's not necessary. Just don't touch me. We still don't know where the cure is, and Tommy died so suddenly
Just as Tommy finished his sentence, he heard a commotion behind him.Ivan was fighting with the assassin, and every strike he delivered was fatal. If Ivan were not skilled in combat, the professional assassin could have killed him in just a few moves.Tommy realized something was up, so he immediately wanted to grab Anne.While Anne retreated, she was pulled into a person's arms."Let me go!" She thought it was a man she did not know, so she hated to be touched like that."Anne."Anne was stunned. She looked up and felt happy to see a familiar face. "Anthony?""It's me."Tommy was infuriated as he watched the two of them looking lovingly at each other, Tommy became infuriated."As expected, Anne, you did leave a trace for Anthony." Tommy's expression darkened."You're the one who took me too lightly," said Anne.It was because she had always wanted to run away from Anthony in the past that he had the wrong impression, was it not? "So what? You want to kill me? With just t
Anne was drugged at that moment, and there were surveillance cameras all over the cruise ship. She saw a surveillance camera over her head when she was returning to the room. Therefore, it was impossible for her to sneak around in the middle of the night if she wanted to.Tommy had long been guarding against her.However, Anne still left Anthony some clues before she left him. She believed Anthony would find her very soon, but she never expected that he would do it so quickly.At daybreak, she seemed to have heard the rumbling of a helicopter above her. Then, the door swung open. Before Anne could make sense of the situation, she was picked up. "How did you get the message out?" Tommy said. He even searched Anne's body after that."Ah! Are you crazy? I don't have a phone!""Don't think Anthony can take you away just because he's here. If I'm going to hell, I'm dragging you along with me! Let's go!""You…" Anne had no strength, so she was dragged out of the room by him.He thre
Anne ignored him.If she were not afraid that Tommy would pull some tricks behind her back, she would have slept with her back facing him."Do you remember running to my home and sleeping on my bed when Anthony bullied you as a child?"I don't.""I know you do. I truly wanted to help you back then," said Tommy.Anne knew he was speaking the truth, so she did not refute him. She stared at the ceiling and said, "I think the past Tommy died a long time ago."Tommy's expression was mixed, and he asked, "Are we not able to go back anymore?""Instead of asking me this now, you should've gone to hell after you killed the people I cared about. No matter how unhappy your childhood was, you can't hurt others for your own pleasure." At that moment, Anne did not pity Tommy at all."Look at you on your high horse. Has Anthony not killed anybody before? Has Corentin not killed anybody before? Why did you forgive them for killing people but not me? Just because the victims were your friends?
Seeing that she did not move at all, Tommy said, "It won't be good for you if you don't eat."Anne thought that he made sense. If she did not eat, she would go hungry and would have no strength later. How could she fight with Tommy then? It was because she refused to eat and only drank water while hiding in her room that Tommy drugged her.After a while, she seemed to have figured it out.She picked up the fork and started eating the fish.Tommy saw her eating and asked, "How was it?""Could it be that you're the one who made it?" Anne looked up and shot a glance at him lazily."That's correct. I am the one who made it."Anne thought, 'Is this something worthy to be praised?'"It must be tough for you to do such a thing on top of everything else.""If you're worried that it's tough for me, why don't you make it with me?""I don't know how to cook.""How great. You just have to enjoy being served." Tommy clicked his tongue, but he was looking at Anne with a doting gaze.Anne
