Ch. 291..295: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 291-295

Chapter 291

The manager hesitated for a moment. "Did you lose something?" "Yeah, we did," Bianca said.

"Something of great value," Michelle added.

The manager apologized, "I'm sorry, ma'am. There's an issue with our surveillance cameras, so we can't

check. If it's something important, we can help look for it."

Both Bianca and Michelle paled at his words. However, there was nothing they could do if the cameras did not

capture anything, so the two had to simply accept that Anne was lucky.

Anne sat by the window with Chloe on her lap, as they stared at the street lights together.

She listened to Chloe counting I '* lights while drifting off to her own thoughts.

Anne thought back to what happened in the club.

She was not worried about Bianca finding out about Lucas or the children. The fact that Bianca managed to

find her way to them meant that there was not other people inside the club because Lucas had informed the

owner about it ahead of time, even if Bianca and Michelle wanted to investigate further, they would not be able

to do so.

The car arrived at the residential area and the nanny took the triplets upstairs.

Since Anne wanted to talk to Lucas, the two took a stroll around the area.

It was still quite early, and there were other parents with children and elderly near them.

Once they were alone, Lucas asked, "what do you want to say?"

1

"I’m going to Berham," she said.

He was slightly taken by surprise. "You've made up your mind?"

"Yeah. I can't stay here any longer."

"May I ask what prompted this decision?"

Anne knew that it was because of the recent events. She had a miscarriage, lost her ability to get pregnant again, and was almost killed by Anthony.

She did not know what would happen next.

She was not afraid of Michelle or Bianca, the only person she feared was Anthony.

He was far too ruthless and knew no limits. If she ended up dying at his hands, her children would be orphaned at a young age.

When she did not respond, he asked, "did you talk to Tommy?"

"Not yet. I'll just keep him hanging for a while. It's not like I'm leaving the country. I'm just leaving Luton." She gazed up at Lucas. "I just feel bad. You've helped me so much and, in the end, I still have to leave. I'm sorry."

He chuckled with resignation, "What are you talking about? It's a good thing that you are leaving, as long as you are safe. I will go see you whenever I have time."

Anne was relieved.

"Did you think I would be mad at you?" He asked.

She tensed uncomfortably. Indeed, she had been worried that even if Lucas was not angry, he would be upset at the very least.

"Anne, I said this before, and I will say it again. You can't hide the kids forever," Lucas said, "Anthony is their

biological father and

hM Id bcur the rraiHmulblllty of curing for them. Even divorced cotipIcN will have Io cure for Ihelr children.

Junl bccaime they are divorced, Il damn* I mean the children uhould have to low their parenK A* long an you

handle the situation with care, Il's not going Io affect much."

"I...! don’I have the courage for that yet," she said, fearing that she might do something that she regretted.

"We will see what happens..."

Seeing that she did not want Io coni lime the discussion, he did not push II. "When will you leave?"

"In a lew days, once 1 gel everything sorted out.".She hesitated, before continuing, "Just Io be safe, I should

head over first. Can you gel the nanny Io send I he kids over after that ? I can pay for transportation and

everything."

"You don't have to worry about Cmt "

"No, 1 should." she insisted. "Mr «ew nan, you will always be welcomed as a guest!"

"Sure."

Lucas watched as Anne stepped up the stairs, wondering if he should let her make such a decision. If she

was going to make such a big sacrifice for the children, there was no telling how much more she would have

to sacrifice in the future.

Bianca considered Anne's words for the entire night and realized that she should allow Anne to disappear

from her sight.

Anne could no longer get pregnant and Bianca felt like she had accomplished her goal in getting revenge.

Though nothing would change the fact that Anthony was marrying her, she still could not stand having Anne

around.

Chapter 292

Bianca went to the Archduke Group In the evening, and Anthony was nowhere to be found because there was a meeting.

She went into his office alone.

Every time she entered his office, she would be overwhelmed by the joy and pride of being powerful and no one could take that

glory from her, nor could anyone replace her in Anthony’s heart, including Anne.

She circled back to stand behind the desk and though the screen was pitch black, the computer seemed to be on.

Wondering if she would find Archduke Group's action plan, she turned on the monitor and the screen lit up, only to find

surveillance feed from nine different cameras.

'Why would this be in Anthony's office?' She thought, 'Isn't there a specific department to manage the surveillance cameras in the

building? He shouldn't be paying attention to this considering how busy he is.'

In the midst of her confusion, she realized something odd in the footage.

'Why is Tommy there?' She wondered.

Shortly after, she spotted a few employees she had seen before, as she had filmed a commercial in Marwood Group before.

Just then, she spotted a familiar figure.

Bianca could not believe her eyes and leaned closer to the monitor, before gritting her teeth and widening her eyes in rage.

'Anne Vallois!’ She thought, ‘So he is monitoring the Marwood Group because of her?'

Bianca barked an enraged laughter at how ridiculous the thought.

was.

'What spell did Anne put him under for this to show up in his office? Why does she have to keep haunting us?' She thought.

Bianca left the office and reached the underground parking lot with the elevator, her anger boiling within her as she went into her car.

She desperately wanted to kill Anne right then and there. If she allowed Anne to leave Luton, how would she ever know if Anne lured Anthony to a different city only to mess around.

There were always men who took opportunities to cheat no matter what a decent husband they presented themselves to be, and Bianca would not tolerate that to happen.

It would be far easier to control Anne when she was in the same city.

'Let's see how far this infertile woman can get!' She thought viciously.

Anne had wanted to rest at home, but Tommy had called her back to the office.

She did not want to go, but it would be worse to have Tommy at her door if she refused.

She stood inside the office and looked at Tommy's expressionlessly. "What do you need me for, Mr. Marwood?"

He leaned back against the edge of the desk and crossed his legs and arms as he scanned Anne up and down. "Why did you apply for leave?"

"I'm sick," she said.

He continued to stare at her. "Why?"

Anne grew wary and thought to herself, 'is this why he called me . back? To ask about this? Does he know and is purposely getting me to say it, or does he not know what happened?"

It was not hard for Tommy to conduct his own investigation, and there was no reason why he would not be informed on what happened.

Anne sneered, "Someone bribed the doctor who performed the abortion surgery for me the last time, so I was still pregnant.

Anthony kicked me hard on the stomach a week ago, causing hemorrhage and serious damage inside my uterus, so I can no

longer get pregnant ever again."

His expression darkened as he narrowed his eyes. "Who did it?"

"Michelle came forward and said that she's the one who bribed the doctor because she didn't want Anthony's child to die, but

who knows? There’s no proof so anyone can come forward and say they did it. There has to be a scapegoat, right?" She tilted

her head. "Are you concerned for me? Aren't you one of the reasons why this has happened as well?"

"Who cares about you?" He scowled. "I did force you to stay, but it doesn't mean anyone gets to bully you without my

permission."

"Sorry to disappoint. I didn't persist and got myself in a worse state," she said sarcastically. "Tommy Marwood, you would let me

leave if there's the slightest trace of humanity left in you."

"No traveling outside of this country."

She paused for a moment, and thought, 'is that a yes? That's not what I imagined!'

Having a hard time believing how easily he compromised, she asked, "really?"

"There's no fun if Anthony ends up killing you," he said

mercilessly.

Anne's expression darkened, regretting that she had expected some decency from him.

Chapter 293

"Have you decided where you want to go?" Tommy asked.

"Berham."

"I will allow it."

Not wanting to say another word, Anne turned around to leave.

Behind her, Tommy asked, "have you really lost the ability to bear a child?"

"Yeah. Satisfied?" She said, before leaving.

She stood before the elevator and thought about what she needed to do moving forward. She had not expected

Tommy to let her go that easily, and was wondering if he was plotting something.

Tommy was too cunning, so she reminded herself to be careful.

Once she obtained her passport and identification card, she would be able to leave.

Anne could not think of any reason for Bianca to refuse her request, if everything went according to plan.

She stepped into the elevator and gazed up thoughtfully at the red number display above her. She could not reach out

to Bianca or she might risk letting Bianca know how desperate she was.

Anne decided that she would apply for a temporary identification card if Bianca did not call her back in time.

'But what if Anthony stops me from leaving?' She thought. ’That won't happen, right? He's already agreed to let me go, so there's no reason for him to hold onto my passport and identification card...'

Just as Anne was calling her contact in Berham to make living arrangements, Bianca called.

"1 got your passport and identification card. When should I pass it to you?"

"How did you get it?"

"Anthony gave it to me, of course. You didn't think he would want you to stay, did you?" Bianca mocked. "Even if he was attracted to you before, he's bored of you now. He wouldn't possibly find himself a woman who can't even bear a child. What a joke!"

Anne was immune to all the insults at this point and simply said, "

1 will go find you right now."

•

They set up to meet at a cafe and Anne spotted the elegant figure by the window as soon as she stepped inside.

There were quite a lot of people inside the cafe in the afternoon, and a few of them were whispering to one another while shooting glances at Bianca.

Anne walked over and sat down.

Bianca was a famous pianist on the internet, so it was odd for her to arrange a meeting in such a crowded place and to sit at the spot where everyone could see her.

"Where is it?" Anne cut to the chase.

Bianca sipped on her coffee elegantly. "What’s the hurry? Drink your coffee, or the others might think we are up to something."

Just then, the waiter came back with a cup of coffee and set it down before Anne.

"I ordered that for you. Go on. It's not bad."

Anne was rendered speechless. "We aren't exactly friends who drink coffee together, are we?" '

"Why bother acting all distant when you've already tried to take

my man?" Bianca grinned in contempt.

"What exactly are you trying to do?" Anne had no mood for coffee. "Did you fail to get what you want and are now trying to stall? Is that necessary?"

"Of course, I got it. What's the hurry?" Bianca enjoyed the feeling of toying with her opponent. "Why the rush? Why are

you in such a hurry to leave Luton? Are you hiding something from me?"

Anne’s heart sank as she doubted if her actions had hinted Bianca on the existence of her children.

Her children were her priority, and so she pretended to be unaffected and said, "if I'm in a rush, I would have called

you two days ago. I am in a rush right now because 1 don't want to have coffee with you. Is that so hard to wrap your

head around?"

"Oh well, things don't always go the way you want them." Bianca took out a box from her purse with a smile.

The box looked like a branded jewelry box. It was strange for Bianca to possess branded jewelry, but Anne could not

understand what she was trying to do.

However, when Bianca proceeded to open the box, Anne paled.

Before her was her passport and her identification card; they were torn and shattered into pieces.

"You..."

Bianca put the box away. "Do you like it?"

Anne narrowed her eyes coldly. "Are you crazy?"

"This is your fault!" Bianca smiled viciously.

"I told you that I'm leaving. What did I do?" Anne was furious at how foolish Bianca was.

"It’s your fault for even being alive!" Bianca wanted the woman before her to be completely gone. She would not

tolerate Anne showing up before her again.

Chapter 294

Anne’s expression darkened as she realized that she should not have made a deal with a crazy woman.

"Also, I won't do anything to you, but J will torture Sarah. That ought to be even more devastating for you,

right? I enjoy your pain! 1 heard that Sarah goes to a certain club every afternoon to play poker. I am going I

here now. I low do you think she would react if 1 showed her these shattered pieces of your passport and

identification card?" Bianca chuckled as she got up to leave.

Anne tensed.

Indeed, Sarah enjoyed playing poker in the afternoon, because she took naps at noon and had to go to sleep

early at night.

If Bianca showed Sarah the passport and mocked her for it, Sarah would not be able to control herself. If

Sarah struck Bianca, it would be yet another disaster.

Anne stood abruptly and reached out to grab Bianca. "Wait-"

As soon as she touched Bianca, Bianca screamed and fell backward as though she was being pushed.

She bumped into another table and collapsed onto the ground.

Startled, Anne thought to herself, T... I didn't even push her... Why did she fall?'

"What is going on?"

"Is there a fight?"

"Why is she hitting someone? How barbaric."

"The famous pianist is being hit. Isn’t that interesting?"

The other customers in the cafe started to take out their phones to capture the moment.

Anne had never been in such a situation before, so she could not quite comprehend what had happened for a moment, when she spotted the smug smile on Bianca's face, she finally understood her situation.

'So that's why she chose to sit at such an obvious spot...' She thought.

Bianca crawled up and sobbed, "Why did you push me? I've already told you that I will forgive you. Can't you just leave me alone? I'm already in so much pain because of you...stop filming. Stop filming! " She said, while trying to stop the people around them who were taking photos and filming them.

"I didn't push you!" Anne said, "You were the one who fell backward on your own!"

"Wh-what are you talking about? You refuse to admit that you shoved me? Everyone saw it!" Bianca said, before running out of the cafe in tears.

The cameras instantly turned to face Anne as the others stared at her with disapproval.

Anne covered her face to run, only to see Bianca's car driving into the distance outside the road.

Her chest heaved in rage as she realized she had allowed Bianca to trick her.

'Isn't it a win-win situation to just hand me my passport and identification card so that I can leave? I can't even give birth anymore! So Bianca wants me dead, instead of just leaving, all along? How vicious can she be?'

Anne stepped into her residential area, all the while keeping an eye on the internet, hoping that the videos would not end up online.

She did not know bow she was going to explain the situation to Anthony for 'hurting' his woman over and over again. Anthony might retaliate by hurting people around her, but if the incident was posted online, it would escalate and affect her personal life.

In the past, she had seen how idols would have to go into hiding because their fans exposed them to their private information, and Anne (eared nothing more than her children being exposed to the public.

She stilled when she saw the latest trending topic, 'world-famous pianist attacked in a cafe!'.

'Attack' was a strong word and the power of the media was beyond her imagination. Instantly, articles concerning Bianca, as well as Anne, were popping out from the internet.

She tried to read everything, when suddenly, a call from Bianca came in.

"How is it? Happy?" Bianca said smugly.

"You sure have worked hard to make me disappear."

"You are the one who clung on to Anthony. It's not my fault." Bianca chuckled daddy, "You want to know what

price you need to pay when you seduce someone else's man. I am not going to let a clown like you appear

before me ever again."

"I've already promised that I would leave. Why did you have to do that?"

"Leave? Or are you just moving to a different place to meet with Anthony in secret? Stop playing dumb with

me!"

"What?" Anne felt like Bianca had gone insane. ’

"You won't be able to leave Luton now. Any movement and my fans will be onto you. After all, I have fans all

across the globe!" Bianca chuckled hysterically, "Let's see where you can run to!"

After the call, Anne suddenly found herself in a dilemma. If she stayed, there would only be more trouble, so

she had to leave.

She went back to the forum she was looking at earlier and found out that al) the comments were against her.

One of the netizens even commented.

11 know her. She lived in our area on the fifth floor.]

The others proceeded to ask for the name of the area and considering how detailed the address was in the

comment, Anne already knew who sent the anonymous tips.

Overwhelmed by a bad feeling, she realized that if she did not leave now, the others would come for her.

Chapter 295

Instead of hurrying upstairs, she sat by the garden facing toward the stairs, it was covered by bushes and was perfect

for her to stay hidden.

If anything should happen, she would be able to spot it right away.

The sky was slowly turning dark and she saw the nanny heading out to pick the children up. Shortly after, the triplets

appeared and went up the stairs.

Anne had only dared to look out for a bit, she was concerned that her children would see how she was sneaking

around.

Shortly after the triplets had returned home, two cars drove into the area and a huge crowd darted toward the stairway.

Anne was absolutely terrified by how the sight resembled a zombie apocalypse. Luckily, she was not at home, or she

would be in a dangerous position if she was stuck inside.

Anne turned and left the area swiftly, before calling the nanny to explain the situation.

"When will you come back? Should I call Mr. Newman?" The nanny asked worriedly.

"It's fine, I can handle this. You stay on the six floor anyway, so the fans and reporters won't bother you or the kids," Anne reassured her.

"Okay."

Another call came in immediately after she ended the call with the nanny.

She glanced at it and answered, "Mr. Newman."

"Where are you? I will go get you now.”

Anne knew that he must have seen what was on the internet. " Don't. Don't come here. The fans and reporters are all at my apartment and I've already left the area. They didn't see me. Don't come!"

She did not want to get Lucas involved after what had happened to the Pinnacle Academy.

"No one would see me if you've already left the area. Don't be concerned for me and just give me the address."

"Seriously, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. 1...I anl going to go to my mom's place."

"Alright, then. Let me know when you arrive safely."

"Sure.".

Anne stood by the road dazedly after the call.

She had lied about going to Sarah, because she did not want to drag Sarah into this mess either.

Seeing that Sarah had not contacted her, it meant that she was still playing poker and had not seen what was on the internet, so she would not find out unless someone informed her about it.

Going to the office was an even worse option, as all her colleagues would have known by now.

Her phone rang once again and she glanced down to find Tommy’s name on the screen.

She ignored the call, refusing Tommy's hypocrisy.

She proceeded to glance through all the comments and live feeds to find that the fans and reporters had swarmed the

corridor outside her apartment.

A woman was kicking at her door hysterically, all the while yelling for the person inside to come out.

Anne gaped at how crazy the fans could be. If she was inside the apartment, they would have torn her to shreds.

She called the police and reported an attempt of trespassing into her apartment with malicious intention, knowing very

well that the police would only arrest the woman who was kicking at the door, the others would only come back like flies

to a piece of meat.

Anne went to a drag store to purchase a face mask to avoid being recognized.

On the subway, the person sitting next to her was looking at the latest scandal about Anne.

She adjusted her mask nervously, desperately hoping that she could cover her eyes as well.

Come night time, she was sti 1 w iei ing around.

'I should be able to go home no*., right?' She thought, and called the nanny at around ten, asking her to glance

downstairs to see what was happening.
