Ch. 141..145: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 141-145
Chapter 141
Tommy was wearing a straight suit, looking casual and indifferent, while looking at her with a queer expression on his face.
Anne turned her gaze elsewhere.
That was no longer the gentle Tommy she knew.
She would probably leave after giving Elder Marwood her presents.
Of course, Sarah had prepared the gift for her.
Anne really could not come up with a valuable gift that could fit the Marwood family.
She was not raised in a wealthy family, so she did not know which presents were appropriate and which were not.
The guests laughed and chatted over tea and coffee.
Sarah was happily chatting with the other guests about things only the rich knew about.
Anne was recommended by Sarah to the other guests.
Anne could only smile politely.
“We haven’t seen Anne for many years. She’s getting more and more beautiful!‘
“You look just like your aunt!”
“You look so beautiful. There must be many suitors pursuing you, right?”

“Do you have a boyfriend?”
Sarah hurriedly said, “No, Anne would never dare to have a boyfriend without my consent…”
“There are very few nice girls like Anne these days.”
Anne quickly found an excuse to leave.
There was no one behind the manor, so she hid under a tree to catch her breath.
“I didn’t expect to see you here. Did my brother allow you to come here?”
Anne turned around and saw Tommy walking toward her with his hands in his pockets while looking at her with a smile.
She did not know what that smile meant.
Anne had no intention of analyzing it. She did not forget how she was betrayed by Tommy that day.
If it were not for Tommy, she would probably be living happily ever after with her three children far away from Anthony.
Tommy stopped a few steps away and looked at her, savoring the view of her long legs. “My brother will never forget your body. You look so attractive.”
“Have I offended you?” Anne asked, feeling uncomfortable. “No.” Tommy thought about it and shook his head.
“You’ve changed a lot,” Anne şaid.
Tommy smiled humorlessly again. “You’re still pretty much the same as before, still naive. Do you really think that if you stay obediently by Anthony’s side, he will let you go?”
Anne’s face turned cold.
“Yes, I was wrong before, but I want to say that without me, you can’t escape!” Tommy looked at her with a gleam in his eyes.
“That doesn’t mean you have to frame me!” Anne was displeased.
Tommy stepped forward, leaning toward Anne.
Anne stepped back, leaning her back against the tree trunk.
When Tommy raised her hand, her face turned slightly in fright.
Tommy stretched out to grab the branches on top of her.
“Want to leave? I’ll take you away.” Tommy said, “This time, I’m sincerely trying to help up.”
Anne lifted her eyelids and looked at him blankly.
What was he playing?
“Anne, didn’t I treat you well before? Didn’t I help you?”
Anne did not speak. Tommy was kind to her before as if he were her brother.
However, she still remembered the feeling of him stabbing her in the back. She felt a chill down her spine.
Chapter 142 This familiar feeling made Anne‘s expression change. When Tommy raised his eyes and looked at her, Anne anxiously reached out and pushed Tommy away. “Go away!” Tommy was pushed back several steps, frowning at Anne, who was full of anger.
“I won‘t leave Luton. This is my home. Why do you want me to leave? Please stay away from me!” Anne said angrily, then turned around. Her footsteps stopped suddenly, panicking as if she had just discovered something Anthony stood tall and straight, like a beast that suddenly appeared in the dark forest, locking on his prey.
He gave her quite a startle.
Tommy recovered his composure, stepped forward, and passed by Anne‘s side. “Bro, I thought you wouldn‘t come! i‘m so surprised!”
Anthony looked indifferent and did not speak.
Tommy got his cue and left. Anne stepped forward. “When did you arrive?” “Does that bother you?”
Anne frowned slightly, her beautiful face pure in the sunlight. “No. Thank you for coming. Otherwise, I don‘t know what Tommy would do. Don’t worry, if I want to leave Luton, I have to deal with my mother‘s
house first. That would be a very long process, so I would rather have a house here. Even if half a year has passed, and you l‘et me go, I still won‘t leave Luton.”
She sounded sincere.
Anthony squeezed her chin and pulled her forward.
Anne‘s body collided against his, her body pressed against his strong male physique.
“You do seem to have become more obedient. Or are you acting?” Anthony‘s voice was a little hoarse, and his fingertips rubbed her soft lips. Anne felt itchy but did not dare to refuse him. “No. By the way, is your stomach feeling better?
Anthony narrowed his dark eyes, stared at her darkly, and said nothing.
At this moment, Fanta came over. “Mr. Marwood, Elder Marwood wishes to talk to you.”
Anthony released Anne‘s jaw, glanced at her, and turned to leave. The nerves in Anne‘s body relaxed. Anthony was a very dangerous man.
If Anthony knew that she was once close to Tommy, she would be in a very bad spot even though she wasn‘t in love with Tommy.
However, why did Anthony come here?
Anne did not expect Anthony to be here because Ron and his wife were here.
They were enemies, weren’t they?
Anne went to the front hall.
The entire Marwood family respected Anthony, but he was hard to get close to.
Anthony and Elder Marwood sat on the sofa while Ron and Damian sat down.
Sarah sat beside her husband, trying not to draw attention.
Elder Marwood asked, “Where’s that girl, Anne?”
Sarah hurriedly greeted Anne, who wanted to disappear from their sight. “Come here, Anne, Grandpa called you!”
Seeing Anne not moving, she stepped forward and pulled her over.
Elder Marwood looked at Anne and pointed to the seat. “Sit down, don’t stand. We are all family.”
Anne subconsciously looked at Anthony, but before she could see what was under that indifferent face, Sarah pulled her to the side and sat her down.
Ron said, “Dad, in fact, today I have something else to tell you.”
“What’s the matter?” Elder Marwood asked.

“Now Anne and Anthony are together. If possible, I hope you can allow them to marry each other,” Ron said.
Anne’s mind was sluggish at first, but after hearing his words, she could not believe it.
What did he mean? She was frightened.
Chapter 143
She looked at Anthony and then the others.
Why was he doing this?
It was her aunt’s duty to decide this for her, not his.
Anne’s mind flashed through a couple of scenarios.
Elder Marwood looked at Anthony with cloudy but shrewd eyes and asked Ron, “What’s going on?”
“I think Anthony likes Anne very much. Otherwise, they won’t be together. Besides, Anthony is not young, and it’s time for him to start a family.” Ron looked at Anthony with a look of fear on his face but still said in front of everyone, “Today is Grandpa’s birthday. Let’s make this happen!”
“What makes you think you can decide that for me?” Anthony asked with a calm and indifferent expression.
“Since you are here, it means that you belong to the Marwood family. Don’t deny it. The blood of the Marwood family is flowing in your body!” Ron tried to convince Anthony.
Anthony’s dark eyes flashed with mockery. “What if I don’t marry?” He did not deny his relationship with Anne.
Anne’s face burned with panic and embarrassment.
Where did they get the confidence to think that they could force Anthony to marry her?
“Since you don’t want to marry, why occupy her? Either you marry, or she marries someone else. You choose!” Ron said.
“Indeed, brother, that doesn’t sound very gentlemanly to me.” Tommy cleared his throat and joked.
Anthony was very calm, holding the tea in his hand and sipping.
The indifferent expression had not changed, and the black eyes were unfathomable. “These women are to be played with, and they don’t deserve to get married. Not everyone marries their prostitutes as you did.”
“You!” Ron looked angry.
Sarah was angry, but she could only bear it.
“As for whether she would marry or not, it depends on when I’ve had enough.” Anthony looked indifferent.
Anne lowered her gaze, her fingers on her lap folded slightly.
She felt embarrassed and wanted to escape…
“Do not dare to oppose me.” Anthony’s voice was cold. “You are not powerful enough.”
Ron was furious.
Was this person in front of him his son?
“All right, we‘ll let the youngşters decide what‘s best for them. We shall not interfere.” Elder Marwood said. If it were not for Ron begging him beforehand, he would not have been given this chance for Ron to speak. Ron was wasting it.
“Dad, that‘s not what you said. If he likes her, then he should marry her. What‘s wrong with that? I‘m also doing this for his good!” Ron did not relent.
“I can marry,” Anthony said. The people present were stunned by his sudden change of words. Especially Anne, with a bewildered look on his face. What was he talking about? Anthony‘s face turned slightly. His black eyes were cold. “You need to divorce.” “What did you say?” Ron almost stuttered. Sarah‘s complexion changed, turning a little pale. “Shut up if you can‘t do it.” Anthony‘s face was dark. Ron was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot. Just as he was about to say something, he was reprimanded by Elder Marwood. “Enough! Are you finished?” Elder Marwood looked very displeased.
Chapter 144
“I’m here today and have something to announce.” Elder Marwood looked around at his son and grandson before saying, “The ten percent of the shares in my hands will be passed on to Anthony.”
Damian and Tommy account for the largest portion of the shares in the Marwood family business, and they have exactly the same amount.
No matter who Elder Marwood’s shares are given to, the person would be securing the leadership of the Marwood family.
If Elder Marwood’s shares were given to Anthony, although there were not as many as they had, they would lose the chance to become the leader of the company!
There was no expression on Anthony’s face, letting off a regal aura.
Ron and his wife were surprised.
Tommy narrowed his eyes slightly, unable to see through his thoughts.
“Dad, are you serious?” Damian could not hold back himself and asked.
“Do you think I’m joking?” Elder Marwood was serious. “Tommy has shared as well, you are all my grandchildren, and no one should be left out.”
Damian smirked. “Isn’t this biased? If you do this, Anthony has more shares than Tommy. Besides, with Anthony’s current career status, he probably wouldn’t even want this small amount of money!”
“It’s his business whether he wants it or not. This is my will. Anthony, come to my study with me.” After saying that, Elder Marwood got up, and Fanta supported him in the study.
Anne was walking outside. Sarah hurriedly ran over. “What’s this? He gave the shares to Anthony?”
Anne wanted to say that if Anthony really wanted it, he would not have let the other members of the Marwood family take it as his own.
Elder Marwood’s move was probably to appease Anthony.
“Auntie, my uncle asked Anthony to marry me. Is this your doing?” Anne asked.
Sarah pulled her over and whispered, “Yes! I wanted him to decline, but I didn’t expect Anthony to be so arrogant! She doesn’t care about the Marwood family at all!”
“Anthony is a mentally strong person. He is not easily frightened,” Anne said, and in the end, she was just humiliating herself.
“But what should I do? You can’t keep being bullied by him like this, can you?”
“Don’t worry about me, auntie. There will always be a way out in the future. Don’t implicate yourself because of me.”
“I will do anything for you. Don’t worry about me.”
Ron called Sarah over. Anne looked up and saw the location on the second floor where the sniper was hiding.
She thought that she had rescued Anthony at that time, and she thought she could live a little better, but apparently that was not to be.
She did not want to socialize with the other Marwood family members, so she turned back and went up the stairs to the second floor.
No one came up here, but looking down from this position, she could see most of the manor’s landscape.
It was facing directly toward the door.
Anyone coming out could have sniped.
When Anne was standing there looking at the scenery, she realized that something was wrong behind her.
It seemed that someone was approaching her.
She turned around in fright, and simultaneously, her body tensed up.
“Ah!” Anne screamed in fright, her body fell back, and her hands instinctively grabbed what she could reach, but there was nothing for her to grab.
The railings here were only as high as her thighs, and her upper body flipped backward over the railings.
It would hurt a lot if she were to fall down from the second floor.
When her feet were about to leave the ground, her hand in mid–air suddenly caught something, and her body jolted to a stop.
The next second, a big hand grabbed her back and dragged her back onto the second floor.
“Ah!” Anne pulled away from the railings, and she plunged into his sturdy chest, causing her to tremble and gasp for breath. When she looked up and saw his cold jawline, thin lips, straight nose, and pair of
deep and sharp black eyes. She was momentarily dazed. Three seconds later, she reacted, her anger beyond words, and she pushed Anthony away. “You’re crazy!”
Chapter 145 “Say that again.” Anthony’s expression was terrifying. Anne‘s face was pale, and her heart was pounding. “Why did you push me? You‘re a lunatic!” She was humiliated in the living room just now, and now he was pushing her?
She was almost scared to death!
Seeing Anthony approaching her, Anne panicked. “What are you doing? I‘m correct, aren‘t 1?” There was no way to retreat. The next second, Anthony grabbed her shoulders and pulled her toward him
As she tilted his head, Anthony‘s face loomed in front of her. His breath gushed onto her face. “You have some guts, don‘t you?.” His breath was hot, but Anne felt chilled to the bone. “That‘s not my intention. I don‘t want to marry you at all. If I knew something like this would happen today, I would never have come here.” Anthony looked at her magnanimous face. His black eyes suddenly became cold, and he pushed her back and let go of her hand. Anne sorted out her emotions and asked, “Are you unhappy?“. Anthony glanced at her indifferently. “Are you probing?” “No, I care about you.” Anne tried her best to be calm. Although she was trying to probe him for an answer, she could not say so.
She wanted to know more.
Suddenly, her wrist tightened, and she was suddenly pulled to one side. “Ah! You...”
“Shut up.”
Anne pursed her lips, and she was dragged behind a water tank and the roof.
She felt puzzled. Then she heard footsteps coming from the stairs. Tommy’s impatient voice rang out, “What are you trying to say to me?” “Which part didn‘t you understand? Didn’t you hear what your grandfather said?” This was Damian‘s voice.
Anne looked at Anthony subconsciously and looked into those dark eyes, which were like a black hole.
Her brows trembled, and she looked away. What was she looking at? Her wrist was still firmly shackled in Anthony’s palm. Before she could decide whether to break free, she heard Damian‘s voice again.
“What do we do now? The shares of the Marwood family are in Anthony’s hands. We will all have to listen to his orders in the future!”
Tommy’s indifferent voice sounded, “Even if he didn’t get those shares, we’d still have to listen to his orders anyways.”
“And you’re okay with that?” Damian was really angry.
“What else can I do? Fight him? Why don’t you go? Don’t tell me to do something if you can’t do it!”
Damian was speechless due to his anger.
“Stop overthinking.”
“Since you
don’t want to fight Anthony, what about Anne?”
Anne, whose name was mentioned, trembled slightly, feeling the sharp gaze from Anthony. She did not dare to raise her eyes. She did not know what else Damian and his son would talk about…
“Don’t you have a good relationship with her? Also, what was Ron thinking? They still want to marry Anne to Anthony and let that bitch Sarah triumph over me? She doesn’t deserve it! To marry into the Marwood family, she did many, many horrible things! I wish I could be the one to catch her!”
Tommy did not have the patience to listen any longer. “I’m not interested, I’ll go down first.” Damian was annoyed by his attitude. “You are not as good as your brother! How could I have given birth to someone as weak as you are!”
Damian and his son left the balcony.
Anne came back to her senses and wanted to pull her hand back.
However, she failed to do so.
Anthony turned his face and stared at her with black eyes. It took a moment for him to look
away.
Anne rubbed her wrist a little uncomfortably after her wrist was caught for too long.
Seeing no one, he said, “Everyone is gone.”
Anthony stared at her coldly with dark eyes. “Stay away from him.”
