Ch. 126..130: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 126-130

Chapter 126 "Ouch..." The sharp pang in her stomach made her frown, and Anne leaned on Anthony's broadshoulders. "Look at me now,

won't I spoil the mood for you?" Anthony hooked her lower jaw, and her face was morbidly white.

He ran his fingertips over her soft lips.

"It really is disappointing." His lip pressed against her ears.

"Pay it back next time." After speaking, he bit her ears hard.

"Um!" Anne felt her body tremble, and numbness spread across her entire body.

The car stopped and Anne got out to leave.

She was sent back to where she lived.

She believed that even if she did not go to the Aesthetic Clinic, they would still pay her.

She was curious if Zelda had been dealt with.

If she was really being dealt with, her colleagues and even the leaders at all level of Aesthetic Clinic, would seeher differently After two days

of rest, the dysmenorrhea dissipated.

The menstruation had not ended, but it did not affect her work.

She went to the Aesthetic Clinic.

Only then she was told Zelda had been fired.

Her colleagues were all saying that it was Zelda's wrongdoing.

"Anne, I heard that the person who poured water on you is Zelda, and she admitted it."

"Yes, she said that when she cameto pack her things up." "I didn't expect her to be so vicious! It's scary to think about!" "And she always likes to find fault in Anne.

Her attitude is bad!" Everyone blamed Zelda for the incident, and Anne had naturally become the victim in this context.

In this way, the idea of 'being specially taken care of by the executives' would not be so obvious.

Anne knew that the person who poured water on her head was Zelda, but there must be accomplices.

She glanced around and saw two guilty faces.

However, she decided to keep quiet about it.

She only needed to know who they were.

When she was about to get off work, Anne received a call from Lilian, asking her if she was free to havea meal together.

How could Anne say no to this? What if she wants to refer a client to her? She instantly said yes.

Lilian suggested to pick her up, but she refused.

Now that she had already been invited to dinner, how could she accept letting the host to pick her up?

Before leaving, Anne called theschool and set a pick-up time for the last bus for her children.

Anyway, the three children liked playing with the other children at school, and they refused to go home sometimes, so Anne did notcarry any burden in her heart.

When she arrived at the restaurant with an elegant atmosphere, Anne told the waiter that she had reserved a seat,and she was brought inside.

Just after passing the aisle, the familiar figure made her stunned.

"Principal?"

Lucas was surprised as well.

He was having dinner with a dignified woman.

Seeing Anne, he got up elegantly.

"Did you come to have dinner? Such a coincidence.

This is my mother."

Anne hurriedly greeted the woman.

She bent slightly." Hello!" "You are...Sarah's niece, right?" Joanne recalled her memory and asked, Anne did not expect Joanne to know her.

"Yes."

"Yoưr aunt showed me your photos.

You look good looking enough in photos, but I didn't expect you to look better in person." Joanne looked at Anne as though she was

lookingat her daughter-in-law.

The more she looked at Anne, the more she liked her.

"You're flattering me," Anne was embarrassed.

There was a car parked not far from the window, and Lilian was sitting inside.

She peered through the lenses of a pair of binoculars and observed the restaurant, and she did not get out of thecar.

Instead, she picked up the phone and called Anne.

Just when Joanne was asking if Anne would have dinner with them, Anne replied, "I had an appointment with a friend..."

The phone in her bag rang.

She took the phone out and apologized , "Pardon me..." "It's okay.

We don't mind," Joanne said enthusiastically, Lucas saw that his mother had been looking at Anne’s back figure.

He sat down and reminded her, "Stop staring at her." "Lucas, tell me the truth.

How far have you got with Anne now? Did you have her in your hands now? Every time I ask youabout it, you only tell me that you are

getting along with her.

I didn't even know how much enthusiasm I should show her just now.

If she's really my future daughter-in-law, I can't make her think that her mother in-law is not easyto get along with, and ended up being

scared away!".

Chapter 127

“It’s such a rare sight to see Mrs. Newman lack confidence in herself,” Lucas‘ mouth curved.

“How could this be the same? Also, she called you‘ principal‘. Does it mean you two are not together yet? What’s the situation now…”

Lilian said apologetically on the phone, “I’m sorry, Miss Vallois. I have something to tend to at the moment, and we might need to change the dinner to another day. Have you arrived at the place?”

Anne did not want to put her in a difficult position. After all, everyone would have encountered urgent matters. Thus, she said, “I haven’t arrived yet. It doesn’t matter, you go take care of your things, don’t worry about me.”

After hanging up, Anne was a little embarrassed!

If she stayed, the price for a meal was too much for her to afford.

Hence, she chose to leave instead.

Turning around, Anne went to greet Lucas and the

others, “Principal, my friend can’t make it today, so I’ll leave now. Enjoy your dinner.”

“Since that’s the case, why don’t you have dinner with us? You’ve come all the way here, and you have yet to

take your dinner, right?” Joanne tried to make her stay. “Huh? It’s alright, but no thanks…” Anne declined.

Lucas pushed his glasses slightly and said, “Let’s just eat together!” He got up and pulled a chair for her.

Anne’s face turned red.

She could not refuse such courtesy, so she had no choice but to sit down and said, “Thank you.”

Lucas called the waiter and ordered a few more dishes.

Before Anne could have the time to feel uneasy, Joanne enthusiastically pulled her to a conversation, “Are you here after getting off work?”

“Yes.”

“You should eat up. The taste is not bad. It’s livelier to have us three having dinner together. It’s so boring to eat alone with my son.”

Anne smiled and looked at Lucas who shrugged

helplessly. She said, “He’s a good person.”

Moreover, she could see that Lucas‘ mother saw her as her daughter–in–law. Her eyes were full of kindness and compassion.

She could not deny anything, after all, she promised to

cover for Lucas.

Hence, things got more embarrassing.

Lucas finished ordering the food over the other side.

Anne looked at him. Lucas smiled back at her, calm and noble.

Before the dishes were served, Joanne suddenly made an astonished sound. “Oops, Lucas, you go on with Anne. I just remembered I have something important to do. Anne, we’ll make another appointment next time with your aunt.”

While talking, she picked up her bag and left straight

away.

Anne was a little dumbfounded when she saw Joanne running away before she could say anything.

Anne saw through her intention of doing so.

“It’s okay. We’ll eat,” Lucas said.

Anne sat down and anxiously asked him, “Your mother seems to be serious. I really didn’t expect to meet you here…”

“It’s just a meal. Don’t be so stressed about it.”

“I think you’re more stressed,” Anne said.

“I’m very good at this. I can just tell her that we broke up when the time comes.”

Anne thought about it, and agreed that it was a good way.

After taking a few bites, she thought of the incident

where she met Anthony while eating elsewhere. She took out her mobile phone to check his location.

She found that Anthony’s was in the Archduke Group.

That was reassuring.

After eating, Anne left the place in Lucas‘ car.

Lucas drove his own car. He stared straight ahead, focused. “How’s the case involving your mother going?”

“I have no clue, and I can’t tell whether it was a random crime or a deliberate murder,” Anne answered, “I can’t think of anyone around me who would do such a thing. If anyone bear grudges against me, they could just look for me. Why are they targeting my mother?”

“It’s definitely not against you,” Lucas said.

Anne looked at him, wondering how he thought about the

case.

“If it was against you, your three children would have already discovered it long ago.”

Anne thought that it made sense and said, “And it’s impossible to be my mother’s enemy. My mother’s circle is simpler…”

Chapter 128

“Then we’ve only randomized crime left, but I think the possibility is very slim. Your mother is not the only one who went to the City Garden, so why did they target her? This case is more complicated than we think,” Lucas said.

Anne’s eyes were firm. “No matter how complicated it is, I must find that person.

||

“Yes, don’t worry.”

The car arrived at the gate of where Anne lived.

“Thank you for sending me back.”

Lucas raised his wrist to look at the time and said, “The children should still be on their way at this point.”

“Yes. I’ll leave now, goodbye.” Anne opened the car door and turned to get out of the car. Something tightened around her chest, and found that her seat belt was still fastened. She blushed.

Lucas looked at her and suppressed a smile. His eyes sank a little.

Anne got out of the car and closed the door.

Lucas lowered the car window. “See ya.”

“Alright, bye.” Anne waved to him.

Seeing Lucas‘ car speeding away, disappearing from the distance, she then turned around and walked toward her

house.

From the beginning to the end, Lucas never mentioned Anthony.

It was as if everything that happened in the private room was not worth bringing up.

Anne walked forward and read the time on her phone.

She made up her mind to put her bag down before coming down to welcome the children.

The timing should be fine…

Her footsteps came to an abrupt stop, and she looked at the black Rolls Loyce that appeared in front of her in utter

shock.

It was the source of fear engraved in her bones that she was all too familiar with.

When she was in the restaurant, Anthony was still in the Archduke Group, so why…

The door opened, and the sight of long legs coming into contact with the ground was enough to make Anne take a step back.

Anthony got out of the car, and his height of nearly 1.9 meters gave people an innate sense of oppression.

there

He was like an evil spirit in the dark night.

“You’re so unwilling to part, huh?” Anthony’s face was terrifying.

Anne was nervous. Realizing what he was referring to, she immediately explained, “He only send me back here. It’s not what you think.”

“Including your date at the restaurant?” Anthony tugged at the neckline with a grumpy air. “Anne Vallois, it seems that you have forgotten what you’ve said some time ago? Do you want to stay around me forever?”

Anne was a little frightened. “It’s not like what you think. At first, I made an appointment with a friend, and she had an urgent matter. I happened to meet Mr. Newman and his mother in the restaurant, so we had dinner together. His mother asked him to send me back, so Mr. Newman had to do so…‘

||

“It looks like he likes you very much. Why? Are you going to marry into the wealthy Newman family?” Anthony approached her.

“Don’t do this…I really have nothing to do with him. If you don’t believe me, you can check the surveillance camera to see if what I said is true…” Anne stepped back in a haste.

However, she could not resist Anthony’s persecution.

He grabbed her face single–handedly and pulled her

closer. His gushing breath sent shudders to her heart.” Are you feeling lonely? Huh?”

Anne frowned slightly and she was about to refute.

The cheerful and naive voice from nearby could be heard.

“Mama didn’t come to pick us up. Oh, we can go back on our own!”

“We’ll definitely reach home before Mama!”

The three children were carrying their bags, shouting and running toward Anne.

When they came near, they saw that it was Anne. They were about to call her when they saw that a man was pinching her face. They stood dumbfounded and out of words to say.

Anne felt as if her soul left her body. 1

She looked at her three children, with masks on their faces and their big round eyes peeking at each other.

“What are you doing? Are you two fighting?” Chloe asked.

Anthony did not want to do it in front of the children.

Especially when the other two boys made him have a sense of familiarity, as though he had seen them somewhere else

Chapter 129

Just when she was still in a daze, Anthony took a step back.

He stared at her menacingly with black eyes. He then turned and got into the car.

It seemed like she was not forced to respond. He just left in his luxurious Rolls Loyce.

When the car passed her by, Anne could only stand there like a piece of wood.

It was only after the suffocating air was lifted that she came back to her senses.

However, the fear deep in her heart did not go at all.

She did not understand why Anthony let her go so easily.

However, she decided to let the thoughts go. What did he have to threaten her anyway?

Or perhaps he would threaten her to cancel the half–year agreement?

Right. To her, such a threat would always be present. Anytime, anywhere.

Anthony’s temperament is emotional, moody and difficult to have a grasp on. It was easy to cross the boundaries by accident.

She would definitely leave after she found out who murdered her mother!

She had enough!

Anne returned to the house and saw her three children sitting on the floor in the living room.

They had not recovered from what had happened just now!

Charlie ran toward her. “Mama, did the bad guy leave already?”

Chris asked, “Did he bully you, Mama?”

Chloe came shortly after, “Papa…no, the bad guy. Why did he come here?”

Anne did not pay much attention to their questions, but Chloe’s ‘papa‘ gave her a heart attack.

Although it was instantly corrected, who gave them such an idea?

Or was it only a slip of the tongue?

Looking at the children with big clear eyes, it felt like they knew about everything.

Otherwise, it could not explain what had happened just

now.

Usually, when they see her, they would cry out to her, but it made no sense they did not do so this time.

Anne asked directly, with her heart slightly trembling. She was much more timid than the children. “When I was downstairs, why didn’t you call out to me when you saw me?”

Three of them blinked at her.

“Because…because Mama said that we can’t call you Mama outside,” Charlie said.

Anne was stunned for a moment. “I…did I say that?”

“Yeah,” Chloe said.

“If it wasn’t Mama, then it was Grandma,” Chris said, someone did tell us so.”

“I

Anne remembered that she did not say so, then it should be her mother.

After all, calling her Mama outside was indeed easy to let others discover their problems.

It was difficult to hide children in the same city.

Thus, they did not know that Anthony was their father.

Come to think of it, how could they know? Just by looks?

Furthermore, if the children really thought so, there was no reason they would not call out to Anthony.

Anne breathed a sigh of relief and hugged their small bodies. “What did you eat at school? Did you eat well?”

“Very well!” Charlie said.

“We had black…black cake.” Chloe recalled and said.

“What black cake?” Anne asked.

“It’s called black truffle cake,” Chris corrected.

‘Such a high–class cake!‘ Anne thought to herself.

Alas, money is king!

However, she was willing to pay. As long as the children were well–fed and well–dressed, she was satisfied.

Chapter 130

After bathing the children, Anne walked out of the room and picked up her mobile phone on the coffee table to check Anthony’s location.

He was not in the Archduke Group, nor was he in The

Curve.

It seemed to be somewhere in the city. He should be seeking entertainment.

With Anthony’s status in Luton, he could have any sort of

entertainment he wanted.

Even if he was not interested, other people would even come knocking on the door!

Anything would do as long as he did not come to trouble

her.

Anne was indeed a little afraid that Anthony would go mad, and it would be difficult to end it.

Anthony entered a high–end place. A bar. His face was gloomy.

The person in charge was a clever one. He immediately came over to serve him with care.

From the appearance of this big man, he could feel the aura which made others dare not huff an audible breath!

When they were heading in, someone jumped out right next to him, and suddenly bumped into Anthony.

Anthony slightly restrained his steps. His extremely bad mood now became even more restless, and his expression could no longer be described as cold.

It would not be surprising if he kills someone on the spot.

“I’m sorry. I’m terribly sorry. I didn’t mean to…” Lucia was stunned when she looked up and saw Anthony. She reacted immediately.

“Mr. Marwood, hello!”

Anthony swept across the wine glass tray that she was holding, and he seemed to have no idea who she was.

The bodyguard at the back stepped forward to remind him. “It’s a staff member of the Aesthetic Clinic.”

“Resigned?” Nobody knew if Anthony was asking the bodyguard or Lucia.

Lucia lowered her head and answered timidly, “No…” She thought to herself, ‘Would I be fired for making extra money like this?‘

She came here secretly to work. Her family needed money, and the salary at the Aesthetic Clinic was simply not enough.

She was afraid of being fired, so she hurriedly explained, Mr. Marwood, I only come here at night when I have

||

nothing to do. I hope that you don’t fire me. I won’t come again!”

Lucia looked a little pitiful.

Looking at her appearance, Anthony seemed to be thinking of something. The smile on his lips did not reach his deep black eyes, and he stepped forward. “Let her enter the private room.

||

The person in charge behind him immediately understood.

After Anthony and his party left, the person in charge immediately said to Lucia, “You’re lucky! Mr. Marwood has never ordered anyone here. You’re the only one.”

Lucia’s heartbeat accelerated for a while. It was all thanks to the dim light in the bar that her red face was not visible.

She did not understand why this happened, but she could hear Mr. Marwood clearly just now.

“You don’t want to go?” The person in charge saw her hesitation and asked.

“I…I want to try.” Lucia summoned the courage to speak.

“That’s right, no one will refuse the chance to climb upwards, especially this chance. Since you know each other, you should be very clear about the benefits of serving him well. It will change your life!” The person in charge told her this, hoping that she would bring benefits to both parties.

Then he urged her to go to the private room.

Lucia thought about changing her life.

She definitely wanted to…

Entering the private box, there was not only Anthony, but also other prominent figures in Luton.

Some of them put down the drinks they were holding.

Lucia proceeded to pour wine for Anthony, and the man sitting on the sofa was making her heart pound faster.

Anne played with her children in bed after taking a bath.

After the children fell asleep, she did not feel sleepy yet, so she scrolled aimlessly on her phone.

After scrolling for half an hour, she yawned and her phone screen flashed. A call came in.

She saw that it was an unsaved number. Who was it?

.

She answered, “Who’s this?”

“Oliver.”

Anne felt her nerves jump. “…What’s the matter?”

“We have a situation here, Ms. Vallois. Would you like to come over?” Oliver said in a slightly subtle way. “Mr. Marwood drank too much.”

Anne thought about her rebellious act against Anthony earlier, and she did not want to have contact with

I’m

Anthony in such a short time. She said, “I’m sorry, already in bed. He’s drunk then you should send him home!”
