Ch. 226..230: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 226-230

Chapter 226 In the morning, Anne got up early and took a taxi to Lucas's apartment to see her children.

It was Lucas who opened the door, andshe did not expect him to get up so early.

However, Anne noticed that he did not look so well.

"What's wrong? You didn't have a good rest?" Anne asked.

"It's my own problem." Lucas took her hand, dragged her in front of him, and stared at her., "HI handle it.

As long as you don't back down." Anne lowered her gaze.

Did he notice that she was backing down? However, it was not up to her...

Every time Anne closed her eyes, Anthony's threatening manner in the private room would appear.

She withdrew her hand, and Lucas's gaze changed.

"Lucas, can we talk about this next time? I have too many problems, and I shouldn't have promised you from the start..." Anne gatheredher

courage and looked at him.

"If we're really together, I shouldn't have caused you problems.

I want to be with you with zero baggage.

Can you understand that?" Lucas stepped forward and took her into his arms.

"I'm sorry.

I was the one who rushed things." Anne shuddered - She yearned for Lucas's embrace but was also timid.

How could she burden such an excellent man? She should not...

Later, Anne and Lucas did not mention this matter anymore, and the two calmly interacted-Not going back, but not making progress.

The triplets still stayed at Lucas's, and Anne occasionally spent time with them.

Although there was no progress on the surface, the situation would not return to the past.

At Archduke Group, Oliver took the report into the office of the highest authority.

Anthony sat calmly behind the desk, appearing imposing.

"Mr.

Marwood, this is Anne's recent whereabouts." Oliver passed the document, carefully observing Anthony's expression.

Anthony flipped through the pictures on the document.

Anne went to work at Marwood Group; Anne took the subway home;

Anne got into Lucas's car in the parking lot; Anne went toLucas's place at night and only left with him the next morning...

Anyone could see that Anne and Lucas were already intimate enough for her to stay overnight at his place.

In other words, Anne was still in close contact with Lucas and even living together despite being warned last time.

Anthony exuded a cold aura, and his gaze was murderous.

Oliver was so suffocated by the terrifying atmosphere in the office that he did not dare to "add fuel to the fire".

After all, Anthony could definitely guess that Anne and Lucas had been together for quite some time.

Sarah called again and asked Anne to come over for dinner.

Anne knew that she could not reject Sarah.

If she refused, Sarah would still call her again.

Hence, Anne simply went to Sarah's mansion.

1 The mansion was located in an affluent neighborhood and was extremely expensive.

It was Anne's first time at Sarah's mansion, and she found the door open when she arrived, so she went in directly.

However, the scene in the living room shocked Anne "Mmph, mmph! Mmph!" Sarah was bound and thrown

on the ground witha cloth ball in her mouth, twisting around in embarrassment.

The two bodyguards beside her were vicious, like criminals who had attempted murder.

"What are you doing?" Anne hurriedly went over, but the bodyguards stopped her.

"Hey..."

The bodyguard said seriously, "Ms.

Chapter 227 Anne looked at Sarah, but Sarah avoided her gaze.

Anne was so furious thatshe asked, "Was the lesson before not enough? Why must you bother her? Do you really want to die in Anthony's

hands?" "Mmph, mmph! Mmph, mmph, mmph!" Anne could not speak, and she could only explain that way.

Anne felt helpless, anxious, and angry.

She did not want to figure out Sarah's argument.

Then, she called Anthony.

After all, she could not watch and do nothing as Sarah was tortured.

The phone rang for a while before Anthony finally picked up, and Anne hurriedly said, "I'm sorry.

My mom didn't mean it.

P-Please, forgive her! Y-You can ask me to do anything!" "What can you do?" Anthony's deep and terrifying voice sounded.

What could she do? Anna's mind was a mess.

"Where are you? I'll go and find you, okay?" "Figure it out," Anthony replied and hung up.

Anne checked Anthony's location on her phone, and she was grateful for that as it was her hope of finding him.

After all, he could be in the Archduke Group, Royal Mansion, bar, or clubhouse, which could help hersave a lot of time.

However, Anne stared blankly at Anthony's location on her phone, he was not in those places, but inher neighborhood, waiting for Anne to fall right into his trap.

Anne returned to her neighborhood and walked upstairs.

The door was open, and she quickly saw the scary man sitting on the sofa.

Anne walked in and closed the door as if she feared others noticing she was a victim.

Then, she took a few steps forward, trying to lighten the mood by saying, "It's just a few offensive words, so there's no need to makesuch a big fuss, right?" Anthony's eyes were gloomy and cold, and his whole body exuded a frightening aura.

"You really think so?" Anthony looked at her with an unreadable expression.

Anne really thought so, but she did not dare to believe it was so anymore.

After all, Anthony would definitely help Bianca vent her anger.

"I'm sorry, and I apologize for what happened.

I hope you can let it go.

My mom was ignorant

Anne said sincerely.

"It's not ignorance, it's not knowing her place.

You've learned this well from her!" Anthony swung his hand.

A few pieces of paper were thrown at Anne's body, making everything in front of her blurry.

The papers dropped to the floor, and Anne squatted to pick them up.

She immediately froze when she saw the printed photos, gradually turning pale.

Anne held the papers, and her hand trembled slightly.

Her neck was so stiff that she felt like she had lost control of it, and she did not even dare look up.

"Explain that." Anthony's cold voice sounded.

Anne gulped, terrified.

How could she explain it? Not only had she been to Lucas’ neighborhood, but she hadalso stayed overnight more than once.

Any outsider could tell what was happening between a man and a woman in that situation...

However, Anne did not dare to reveal the slightest bit of the truth...

"You can't say it?" Anthony stood and got closer.

The dark shadow enveloped Anne, and his hand grabbed her face, raising it to force her to look at him.

"When did you two start? Hmm?" Anne's lips quivered, and she was panic-stricken.

She could not find a reason to argue.

In fact, Anne could only choose to remain silent for the sake of her children.

Yet, silence meant acquiescence...

"Anne, you're just courting death!" Anthony's gaze was fierce, and he threw her to the ground.

Chapter 228 "Ah!" Anne fell to the ground, and the danger made her turn instinctively. Then, she faced the violent Anthony and

mumbled,"You can't do this to me...

You can’t..."

Anthony scoffed, appearing cold-blooded.

Next, he called and ordered, "Beat her to death!" After that, Anthony put the call on speaker.

Anne heard Sarah's panic scream when she was beaten, making her scalp tingle and her face pale.

Even though Sarah had abandoned her, they were still family.

Anne crawled over anxiously and hugged Anthony's long legs, crying and begging, "Please, don’t do this!Ask them to stop! They'll beat her to

death! Please, stop!" Anthony stared at her from above.

He seemed cruel and had no intention of stopping.

Sarah's screams on the speakerphone got louder, and Anne cried out, "Don’t! That’s enough! Anthony, please’l was wrong! I was wrong..."

She even forced herself to stand, wanting to kiss his lips to please and make him show mercy.

However, Anthony pushed her away and grabbed her face before she could even touch him.

Her tiny face was like nothing in his palm.

Anthony's hand was wet from her tears, and his gaze became daunting.

"I told you before, if you make a mistake, I'll punish the people around you.

Climbing into another man's bed while you're still at my disposal? Don't you think I should kill you now? Huh?” Anne panicked and wanted to shake her head, but Anthony's iron palm prevented her from doing so.

Hence, she could only explain with difficulty, "Lucas and I are not what you think...I...

won't accept him either." Anthony squinted, revealing a terrifying gleam in his "Yes.

We didn't...

Not even once...

Even though I had stayed overnight at his place, it was only because we were interested in each other, and we never slept together..."Anne noticed Anthony was getting less angry, and she continued, "At that time, it was already difficult for me to deal with you, how could I still have the energy to find others? It's simply impossible..." Anthony stared at her as if trying to discern the truth of her words.

"Most importantly, I'm afraid of you, so I never agreed to be his girlfriend.

I met Mr.

and Mrs.

Newman this time because you said you'd let me leave Luton.

I thought I was free and could pursue my own happiness...” Anne explained aggrievedly while crying.

eyes.

"You didn't?" Despite being satisfied with Anne's answer, Anthony was still suspicious and did not let her go easily.

Then, he lifted her face higher and said, "Swear on that b*tch’s life that you're not lying to me!” Anen was stunned,and tears streamed down her face.

"You..." The screams on the phone weakened, and the beating sound stopped.

However, Anne had never felt more desperate than now.

Anthony was simply out of his mind for asking her to swear on her mom’s life! "Since you're not going to do it, areyou lying?" Anthony's sinister voice sounded again.

Anne came back to her senses, dazed and panicked.

No matter how she tried, she could not hold back the tears.

"Even if I'm not lying, I shouldn't make such a vicious oath on my mom's name..." "That's not within my consideration!" Anthony's gaze was

murderous.

"Don't challenge my patience!" Anne sniffled and closed her eyes Tears streaming down her cheeks as she swore, “Lucas andl didn't sleep

together.

If I'm lying, Sarah Vallois...will die a miserable death..." "Repeat it!” "Lucas and I didn't sleeptogether.

If I'm lying, Sarah Vallois will die a miserable death..." Anne looked at him in despair.

Are you satisfied?" "Satisfied? It's still too soon!" Anthony shoved her hard, and she fell on the sofa next to her in fright...

Bianca drove alone to find the neighborhood, and she found the black Rolls Loyce parking under a building from afar.

That made her so angry that she tightened her grip on the steering wheel, and vicious resentment bloomed in her eyes.

Anne was seriously full of tricks! She could let Anthony compromise over and over again!

What the hellwas Anthony doing? Was he really that enchanted by Anne? Was he really here to vent her anger? Bianca had waited for two

hours, yet Anthony still did not come out! She did not have to think twice to figure out what they were doing inside! Bianca had always been

competitive, and she had adored Anthony from the beginning.

Back then, she had to leave the country under her family's arrangement.

When she returned, Anthony did not have anyone he fancied, so he was destined to like her! Who the hell did Anne think she was for trying

tosteal her man.

Chapter 229 Bianca wanted Anne to disappear from her life! Anne woke up near noon the next day with a frail body. After she opened her eyes, it took her a long time to get back to her senses, and it seemed like she had just returned from hell to reality.

Anne could not believe she slept with Anthony again. After all, he already had Bianca, and she should be more than enough!

The thing that she thought would not happen again, happened.

Anne felt like she was Anthony‘s pet, being under his control with no autonomy.

Later, Anne got up with great difficulty, put on her clothes, and walked out of the bedroom.

The cell phone in her bag on the living room floor was ringing. Anne wanted to squat down to pick it up, but she immediately fell on her back due to fatigue as soon as she tried to do that.

Anne took her phone, noticed it was an unknown number, and picked up the call. “Hello, who is this?”

Her voice was hoarse.

“Anne, why didn‘t you come to work?”

Anne was stunned. Xander?

“You should‘ve let me know if you‘re taking a leave.”

When Anne thought about the reason for her absence, she became angry. “Ask Anthony! Why are you asking me?!”

After that, she immediately hung up the call.

Xander was shocked.

Well...consider it as a paid leave!

Anne was physically and mentally exhausted, but she was not afraid of getting fired. After all, she was telling the truth, and she could not get out of bed at all under those circumstances.

Anthony was simply a terrifying beast!

Anne became worried at the thought of Sarah, so she called her.

The call was only connected after a while, and Anna asked, “Are you okay?”

“I‘m fine.”

“Really?” Anna asked again, as she did not believe it. Sarah‘s miserable scream did not appear to be fake.

“I only have a few bruises, so don‘t worry about it. How about you? Did Anthony do anything to you?” Sarah asked concernedly. “He didn‘t do anything to me...I‘ll visit you later.” Anne did not say more and did not want Sarah to ask more, so she directly hung up the call.

Then, she scrolled through the missed calls and found Lucas‘ name, making her teary again.

She could not be delusional…

Someone like her was no match for Lucas.

She was with Lucas for one second and possessed by Anthony the next…

Who was she humiliating…

Anne laughed, but tears welled in her eyes.

After calming herself down, she called Lucas. They did not say much, but he asked about her situation as she did not visit in the morning, to which Anne could only say that she overslept.

Anne did not dare to reveal what Anthony did.

After a few words, they ended the call mainly because Anne was eager to hang up. She felt that everything would be exposed if she talked to him longer.

Anne did not go to the company that day, nor did she go to Lucas’s place.

Chapter 230 Anne called the school and let the children take the school bus to her neighborhood. Lucas could not help but call her and ask, “What happened?”

Anne knew she needed a reason to bring the children back, and Lucas would surely be suspicious, so she replied, “Anthony found out that I went to your place. He was investigating me, and I‘m afraid he might find the child.”

“... Did he do anything to you?”

“Not to me, but my mom...he punished my mom for the things I did. But thankfully, she‘s alright, so don‘t worry.”

“What a lunatic!” The well–mannered Lucas could not help but curse.

Anne completely agreed with him. Anthony was a through–and–through lunatic!

“I‘ll let Nancy go with the children. It‘s easier to confuse him if she stays in the same building, ” Lucas said.

Anne was touched and became teary. “You don‘t have to treat me so well...” “I‘m used to having the children living with me, and I‘ll surely find it odd when they‘re not around. But thankfully, I‘m their principal, and I can still see them during the day,” Lucas said.

Anne was really grateful, but she could not say anything. “I still believe that if you can‘t leave Luton, you should directly face Anthony. After all, they‘re his children, so he won‘t do anything to them.”

“I–I‘ll think about it…” Anne said.

After hanging up the call, Anne sat there in a daze.

Should she tell Anthony?

She never rushed to think about such issues or the consequences.

She knew exactly what kind of devil Anthony was.

No matter how vicious a person was, Anne believed they would not harm their own children. However, she had also heard that if the father did not like the mother.

Anne was more worried that Anthony would take the children away and never let them near her again. She had been taking care of the children since they were born. Asking her to give them up would undoubtedly feel like cutting off the flesh from her body piece by piece.

Why... Why could she not be on good terms with Anthony?

Why did the grievances of the previous generation affect her...

Anne could not even bring herself to hate her own mother...

When Anne returned to the company, Xander acted as if nothing had happened. He did not know how to face her, but he still smiled brightly at her.

Anne ignored him.

She would definitely need to bring the children back. Fortunately, there was a rental house just above, and the rent in this area was relatively cheap. She first contacted the landlord and rented the house. Then, she thought of going to visit Sarah before bringing the children back. Even if Sarah was not seriously injured, she still had to see her. After all, she did swear on Sarah‘s life, and she felt guilty. Anne called Sarah. “What? You‘re at the hospital?”

Anne found the hospital ward and saw Sarah half–leaning on the bed. Her body seemed fine, and the bruises on her face had lightened. However, it was obvious how seriously Sarah had been wounded before.

“I‘m fine. But... my ribs are cracked, and other soft tissues are damaged. I‘m much better now. The doctor said that I could be discharged in a week.” Anne‘s anger was followed by intense helplessness and agony. Anthony was ruthless! Then again, even Gregory suffered horrible consequences. There was nothing Anthony could not do…
