Ch. 256..260: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 256-260

Chapter 256

"You are pretty charming to have become Anthony’s toy and to get Lucas to break his personal principles for you. I can't help but

feel pretty impressed by you!" Tommy lamented.

Anne looked confused.

What kind of charm would she have to be Anthony's toy? It was as though saying herself was charming because she got bitten

by a dog?

However, why did he have to bring Lucas up?

Could it be that Tommy had already gotten to know everything about the incident that happened yesterday?

"None of your business."

Tommy said, "This is very much my business! My recent investment abroad is about mineral resources, I would like to get a

partner to share the risk with me. I did not expect Lucas to be agreeable. You see, he is an education guy. How would he

suddenly be interested in investing in mineral resources? I reckon it was all because of you?"

Anne was stunned.

It was actually because of the incident in the office. She knew that Tommy's influence was not in the Marwood Group.

This man was gifted in business management.

He had controlling interests in eight companies outside of those belonging to the Marwood Group, plus non-controlling interests in over twenty such companies. She was pretty sure that he had stakes in companies abroad too. Therefore, his positions within the Marwood Group were mostly only on paper and non

executive. He behaved more like an heir with a nonchalant personality.

He did not even care how much shareholding he had within the Marwood Group.

A person who had his own capabilities to earn his own bread would not care to fight for the meat with other people. He was more • indulged in self-exploration.

The way that he was opposing Anthony probably did not have anything to do with these.

Otherwise, it would not be to the extent of needing to kill.

However, Lucas and Tommy collaborated... It reminded Anne of the night that Lucas told her about tackling Tommy.

Did he want to tackle him from her side?

"Nevertheless, since he wanted tr collaborate with me, he will have to pay a hundred and one percent attention to this," Tommy said.

"You are in a collaborative relationship. Even though the Newman family was the founding family of Pinnacle Academy, in fact, they are businessmen at the core. Don't you think too highly of yourself. Plus, his behavior had nothing to do with me. He would get his fair share in the business, isn't it supposed to be like this?" Anne said calmly, then pushed Tommy away and walked out of the restroom.

Tommy lay against the door frame lazily. He looked at Anne's silhouette and asked, "Did you abort the baby? Was it Anthony's baby?"

Anne felt her spine freezing at once.

"You should have kept your baby to threaten Anthony with it. What a silly girl. Nevertheless, you are going to be completely

destroyed inside out by Anthony this way..."

Anne clenched her jaw, turned around, and walked to Tommy. " Let me leave? Don't stay in Luton, can I? If I were destroyed, who else could you blackmail by then? You keep me just because you wanted me to tackle Anthony. Do you really think I am not aware of this?"

Tommy did not look pleased. "Don't think so badly of me. I would be sad hearing this."

"Go to h*ll!" Anne cursed, turned and walked away.

"Anne, stay strong. Don't you collapse."

Anne held her grudges in. She could not do anything to Tommy.

She did not have enough strength and money. There was no way that she could win this!

After work, Anne called Lucas or her way to the train station and asked him about his collaboration with Tommy.

Lucas told her that he only intended to diversify his assets. If that were a good project, it would be good.

"Was it because of me?" Anne could not help but ask.

"Not entirely so," Lucas replied.

Anne was relieved and said, "Don't you do anything for me.

Principal, I have something to tell you..."

"Please do." Lucas's voice lowered. Perhaps he could sense what she was about to tell.

Anne suppressed her sadness and said, "You deserve a better girl, not me. I am giving up. Please give up too."

Ultimately, she did not deserve him.

She was onlv dreaming of that portion of warmth and sweetness

that never belonged to her.

Chapter 257

She held her head low. "I am sorry..."

Lucas fell silent for a moment and seemed willing to compromise. "Understood. Nevertheless, I am still the daddy of the three

kids, aren't I?"

His casual tone made Anne's lips curve upward slightly. She beamed helplessly. "Yes, the three kids love you very much."

She did not say much, but after the phone call, Anne felt very tired, and her body was heavy.

What was there for her to feel disappointed about? After all, ever since the day that she decided to give birth to the children, she

had never thought about searching for her own happiness.

After all, happiness requires sacrifices.

She did not have anything of the same value to trade for it.

Anne sat in the train, her head laid on the side, and dozed off as she pondered.

When she woke up, she had already gone past the station where she was supposed to hop off.

She could only disembark and go to the other side of the plat form.

She had never fallen asleep on a train before.

However, it was weird that humans were always lazy, as though work was exhausting.

Perhaps, she was mentally tired. That way, she would not have much mental energy.

Within three days, the entertainment industry gossip center of attention changed. For instance, the paparazzi caught Michelle

dining with another artist or getting signed as the ambassador of another brand.

Michelle's quiet social media started to be active again. She said she had taken a rest and that she had taken the time to learn to become a better version of herself.

Xander was not around, and the colleagues started to chat about the gossip.

Anne, as usual, did not participate in the conversation but merely listened quietly. She then dug into Michelle’s gossip news.

She felt that Michelle, who was once dead, had come back alive in the eyes of the public again.

However, wasn't she screwed by Bianca so much that she could not come back again? How did she...

The scene of the company hallway flashed before her mind, and also that of Anthony and Bianca appearing.

Was that not a coincidence?

The colleagues were done talking about Michelle and then proceeded to talk about Bianca. They said that Anthony and Bianca appeared together the other time, further proving their intimate relationship.

Anne's facial expression was a little gloomy. Perhaps Michelle and Bianca knew each other?

Otherwise, could it be Bianca only meant a small punishment for Michelle, and that was it?

No matter what, Michelle and Bianca were both unfavorable to Anne.

Right now, Michelle was on the.call with Bianca. "I would like the ambassadorship for big jewelry brand names. The smaller ones would only degrade my class."

"Why are you hasty? I will return what you have lost. The premise is you have to be obedient."

Michelle's expression was twitching. 'Did you assume I was her pet dog?'

She seemed to compromise on the surface. "Did I not please you with what I did the last time?"

"But what I wanted was for Anne to be completely crippled and to get out of Luton ultimately! If you don't want to collaborate

with me, I will not force you either," Bianca said nonchalantly.

Michelle cursed her deep down. What a condescending b*tch!

She was not stupid. If she did not collaborate with her, she would not be able to come back into the industry to become the

brightest star. Bianca would never let her live comfortably. "No, since I had agreed to the collaboration, I will collaborate with

you until the end."

"After all, my final objective is not in the entertainment industry either. I will keep that for you."

"What else do I need to do?"

"When I need you, I will let you know."

After hanging up the call, Michelle kicked the chair angrily.

Bianca, this trash, would dare to threaten her!

‘Fine, I will collaborate with you. You guys go ahead with the fight! Fight until both of you are heavily injured. Then, I could

come in to reap my benefits!'

 

Chapter 258

Anne only got to know after that about the reason why Bianca and Anthony came to the Marwood Group office that

day.

It was because the company needed to get an influential celebrity to speak for the newly developed product.

The recently emerged star was the well-known pianist, Bianca Faye.

Anne was sitting before the desk and processing the data when the phone rang. It was an internal call from

Xander.

She answered, "Yes, Director."

"Go to the administrative department. Mr. Marwood is looking for you."

"Got it." Anne placed her phone Gown and pondered. Damian Marwood?

Why was he looking for her?

However, based on the beef that she had long planted between the two of them, it was definitely not something

good,

She could not refuse to go either.

Nonetheless, he could not do anything to her in the office...

She knocked on the door. When she saw Bianca in the office other than Damian, she had her guess.

This matter would be only related to Bianca.

What was it about then...

Damian, behaving all superior, ordered, "Anne, Bianca's assistant is not around. You temporarily cover for her. Just do us a favor. We

have the responsibility to provide all kinds of convenience to the Marwood Group’s celebrity ambassadors.

Anne wondered, 'Become Bianca's assistant?'

In other words, the two had to interact with each other for a long period.

She was reminded about the unpleasant memory she had with Bianca in the restroom. Anne declined, "I am sorry, I am the accounting officer at the Finance Department, not a personal assistant. I could not do this. If I can't do this well and have caused inconvenience to Ms. Faye and her work, that would be a big mess. •»

By then, should Bianca have a single bit of problem, she could blame her and escalate it to Anthony. That would be another disaster for Anne.

Bianca said, "It would just be son.e simple chores. Otherwise, I would not simply look for just anyone."

"I would like to know, whose idea is this? Yours?" Anne asked.

Damian said, "This was my idea. Do you want to defy the leader's instruction?"

"Yes, I would like to decline that." Anne believed that this was Damian's idea. After all, this man had not seen eye to eye with her since a long time ago and had long planned to sabotage her.

It was impossible for Damian not to be aware of whatever happened in the Marwood Group.

"Anne, you are arrogant, aren't you? If you don’t want to obey my instructions, fine. Mr. Marwood is your superior, but you are so rude to him. My eyes are opened. Is there someone behind you to back you up?" Bianca looked at Damian and deliberately stirred this up.

Anne was not oblivious to thfo. •

This was effective.

Damian's face sank. "If you don't want to take this assistant role up, then you might as well pack your bags now and leave! One small accounting officer with such a big temper, how could I keep you here?"

Anne was not only not concerned but snickered. "I wanted to leave, but the CEO did not allow me to. I had no choice either."

"Anne!" Damian was so exasperated that he slammed the table top and stood up.

"If there is no other matter, I will go back to work now." Anne turned and left.

Bianca looked at Anne menacingly. "Should I call Anthony to ask you, then only you will agree to it?"

As she expected, Anne stopped her footsteps.

Bianca's lips curved upward sarcastically when she saw this.

She did not believe that Anne would not give in. She had her ways.

Anne turned around and looked at her, expressionless. "Go ahead, just tell him that I refused to be your personal

assistance. If he really wanted to ask me to, I would do it, but if you have any problem by then, don't you blame

me for it. Do you understand?"

After saying that, she walked away and slammed the office door shut. Her attitude was bigger than anything.

Damian was so pissed.

Bianca's face was utterly displeased.

"Ms. Faye, it seems that Anthony is pretty impressive. It is not enough for him to have you, the perfect goddess,

but he is still

clinging to Anne. Nevertheless, given his status and power. It Is not rare to see plenty of women sucking up to him."

Damian was stirring things up too.

Chapter 259

Bianca took a deep breath, but she could not catch her breath. Her body went soft and she slipped right off the chair

onto the ground.

Damian was shocked. He stood up. "Ms. Faye, what happened?"

He went forward to check on her, only to realize that she had already gone unconscious.

This was not because of him, was it? It was because of Anne!

It seemed that Bianca did not have good patience, too, that she could be so easily pissed that she would faint.

Not too long after Anne got back to the office, some colleague came in hastily to inform her, "I heard that the well-

known pianist fainted in Mr. Marwood's office!"

"What? Wliy? Is she sick?"

"Not sure. She has been sent to the hospital."

"Bianca just got signed as the ambassador for the Marwood Group. Now that this has happened, I hope the chief at the

Archduke Group will not be mad at this."

Anne sat frozen in her seat.

She had never expected something like this to happen. She thought that she would be unscathed if she had dodged the request to be her assistant!

Her colleague's remark made her feel on edge.

Bianca was obviously doing it on purpose.

However, would Anthony buy it?

Anne felt her head heavy.

She felt uneasy when she thought about Anthony.

Finally, it was the afternoon. Her phone rang, and Anne looked at the screen, which showed Anthony.

Anne's hand was a little shaky, but she picked it up regardless. Her voice was a little hoarse. "Hello...”

"Come over to the hospital."

"Why? I don't want to."

"Do you want me to drag you here?" Anthony's voice was cold enough.

Anne could already feel the chills down her spine.

Before she could respond, he had already hung up.

Anne did not expect Anthony to come and pick her up, so she made it to the hospital alone.

At the doorway of the VIP ward.

The door was not firmly shut. When Anne got closer to it, she could hear Bianca's sobbing voice from inside the room. The door could not hide away her depressed emotions. "I don't want to put you in a difficult situation, but Anne was really aggressive. She used you as an excuse and even mentioned that she had your children just to piss me off. Anthony, I can exit this relationship if you cannot forget her. My parents asked about us the other day, but I did not say anything. So it's totally fine if we are apart..."

"There will be no such instances again in the future," Anthony's deep voice replied.

"But she will use her relationship with you to trigger me. She said it in front of Mr. Marwood to make a fool out of me.

You know it well enough. I have never been humiliated this way all my life..." Bianca sobbed.

Anne peeked from the gap between the door and saw Bianca leaning in Anthony's chest while Anthony was cuddling

her waist, comforting her.

"Anne?" Kathryn, who came to check out the situation, saw her at the door and called her.

Anne saw Bianca out of Anthony's embrace. She then squirmed to the side. Her gaze was panicky, as though she was

peeking at someone.

Kathryn knocked on the door and got their response before pushing the door open. Then she went in to perform an

examination on Bianca.

Bianca looked to the door but had not seen Anne.

Anne was leaning against the wall by the side. She was hesitant.

This would not be a good time to go inside...

However, she heard Bianca's voice. "Anne, come on in."

Anne thought this woman really loved drama.

This must have been her idea. She probably had asked Anthony to call her to come over!

Chapter 260

She pushed the door and went in. She could feel Anthony's cold and sharp gaze falling upon her. Her heart almost stopped

beating.

Kathryn examined Bianca's body condition and left after diagnosing that she was all right.

"Who gave you the guts to do it?" Anthony said, his face was cold.

Anne kept her gaze straight. "I did not do anything, I only rejected to be Bianca's assistant. I am from the Finance Department,

and I am not familiar with the role of a personal assistant*. Isn't it normal for me to decline? As for why Bianca fainted, this has

nothing to do with me."

Bianca heard this and immediately acted as though she was wronged. "Anne, don't you feel guilty saying all these? You said that

even if Anthony cared abe t t me, he still went to your place and said that you were pregnant with his kid and that I am nothing to

him. If I ever lie about a single thing, you could get Mr.

Marwood here to cross-examine. He was at the scene."

Anne could not believe that Bianca would lie about this and completely twist the story!

Well-known celebrity pianist? She was more like a witch!

Getting Damian Marwood here to cross-examine? Even if they did not secretly collude, Damian would never take her side!

"His words cannot be trusted because he still hated me for exposing him for stealing the Finance Department's money. Plus, are

you sure it was not you, Bianca, who was painstakingly making a scene? You got out of the way to make me your assistant and

even fainted, then attempted to blame me for it. How would all these be a coincidence? Perhaps it's you who conspired with

; Damian to frame me?" Anne said.

Bianca's eyes flashed with menace, but she pretended to be vulnerable on the surface and said innocently, "What did you say? Anthony, did you hear what she said? Did I ask you to be my personal assistant ? This was apparently suggested by Mr. Marwood. He said you are pretty capable, that you made it to become the Director's assistant in a short time. It could not be me who looked for you, could it ? What good does it do for me?"

"Why would it not be good for you? Now I arn standing here being wronged, being interrogated, being your punch bag." Anne talked back.

Bianca was so pissed by her that she could not say a word.

"Are you done?" Anthony said coldly.

Anne pursed her lips and did not say anything more.

"Your lover had a rough time, sc I don't even deserve a chance to explain myself now, do I?"

"Since she needs an assistant, you go for it," Anthony ordered sternly, not allowing any room for negotiation.

Anne glared at Anthony, but Anthony did not even look at her. He only had eyes for Bianca.

"I just aborted my baby. I cannot do such heavy work!" She deliberately emphasized the word 'aborted'.

Anthony turned around. His side profile was as sharp as a knife." Then just suppress it! If there's anything happening to Bianca, it's all your accountability."

Anne walked out of the ward. She opened the door, and slammed it onto the wall, did not even close it.

She heard Bianca's shocked voice. "How could she behave this way? Anthony, her temper is pretty scary. If she really is my

assistant, 1 am a little scared that she would lay her finger on me."

Anthony replied, "She would not dare to."

Right, Anne would certainly not dare to.

Anthony was not humane at all. He was a maniac without any humanity!

Deliberately asking her to become Bianca's assistant, was this not a move to torment her?

This was very much what Bianca wanted!

Anne stood at the junction, feeling lost.

Bianca would definitely use this opportunity to frame her. She could already foresee this risk.

If she did not go for it, Anthony could have a thousand ways to make her compromise!

Anne returned to her department, feeling depressed. She could see Xander and Damian talking to each other from afar.

"My department is a little short-handed. We should transfer Anne to my administrative department!" Damian said.

"Mr. Marwood, I finally spotted a good assistant. Please don't fight me anymore." Xander was smiling.

"There are so many excellent employees in the Marwood Group. I'm sure you could do it with someone else other than Anne."

"If Mr. Marwood needs an assistant of equal competence, leave this task to me. I promise to send someone over within a day.

Deal? 11

The two went back and forth relentlessly.

It almost sounded as though Anne was some valuable talent that the company spent a lot of money to hire.

Luckily, Xander did not give in in the end.

Otherwise, Anne would end up badly! It looked like Anne should treat Xander belter going forward!
