Ch. 356..360: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 356-360
Chapter 356
“No, no! It was Dad. It has nothing to do with me!”
“No! He pushed you because I wanted to marry Sarah so badly and wanted a divorce, so I went to find you. I did not expect to see you on the top floor of the hospital. It was because you said something so nasty that my dad couldn‘t help but push you.”
“No, no, I... I was watching from the side, don‘t you blame me for it. If you had completed the divorce, then nothing would have happened... I‘m sorry, Julie, after all these years, I had always been in remorse, so regretful... Why did I not help you, I am sorry...”
Sarah turned the recording off, looked at Ron, whose face was pale, and asked, “What about now? Can you remember it now?”
Ron listed his terrified but enraged eyes. “That woman was you!”
“Who else? Did you really think Julie Watson appeared ?
Ron, I really did not expect you would kill your own wife!”
“I said it. I did not kill her!”
“Isn‘t standing by the side and watching, assisting the murder?” Sarah asked condescendingly.
Ron could not say a word, and his forehead was sweating profusely.
He did not expect the secret that he had hidden for years to be exposed by Sarah!
So, what would happen if this was known by Anthony?
He understood his own son too well, he was ruthless and brutal. His mother‘s death had always been an issue for him. If he found out about it, the family would be destroyed.
“Are you trying to blackmail me with this kind of audio?” Ron tried to calm himself down. If Sarah did not have other intentions, she would not be standing here but would already have sent this to Anthony. “Are you trying to get back together with me? I agree.”
Sarah thought she had heard the silliest joke of the century. “Are you kidding me? Get back together with
you? Then what should I do when you die?”
“What do you want?“.
“Give me half of your shareholding in the Marwood Group.”
“What?” Ron could not believe her ambition.
S see
Sarah snickered and said, “Fine, then I will send this audio to Anthony. Let‘s see what he will do to you and Mawby. After all, I have nothing to lose. Honestly, Anne and I had been picked on by Anthony for so many years. It is now payback time! Ron, what is your loss? At least you still get to keep half your shareholding, no?”
Ron‘s face was full of rage. He already thought he had an unfair share of the shareholding, and now he even needed to split it in half with Sarah. This would be too much!
However, his neck was now on the line. What should he do?
Ron had a bad idea. He snatched away Sarah‘s phone and slammed it onto the floor.
The phone immediately shattered into pieces.
Sarah looked at the pieces on the floor and said, “Do you really think destroying my phone would do it? I had already expected this and had already made copies of it! Since you are not willing to, I will now send the backup copy to Anthony.”
She turned and walked away.
“Wait a minute!” Ron hastily came down from his bed, attempting to stop her.
“Nothing to negotiate if you don‘t want to give me your shareholding!” Sarah had the upper hand and did not give
1. in.
“Fine, I will give you half of my shares!” Ron gave in.
Sarah could not help but grin. “That‘s right, which is more important, money or your life? Isn‘t that an easy choice?”
“Delete the copies first!”
“Do you think I am an idiot?” Sarah laughed. “I will only delete it when I get the share transfer letter. You better be quick. Otherwise, I would not have much patience either, understand?”
Ron did not expect her to be difficult. “I could sign the transfer letter, but it would be hard for me to explain to Anthony.”
“That is your problem.”
Ron was forced to a corner, and his eyes were desperately menacing. “You have the guts to oppose the entire Marwood family. Aren‘t you scared to end up like Julie did?”
“I am not as dumb as she was. If something happened to me, another person would release the audio. Don‘t you be oblivious about this.” Sarah turned and walked away.
Ron slammed everything on the nightstand angrily.
Drinking really was problematic!
He definitely did not want to give away his shareholding, even if it was only half of it.
Plus, how could he explain to Anthony?
He pondered if there was any possibility for him to have destroyed the audio copies before signing the transfer letter. Where would the copies be?
Chapter 357
The first person that came to his mind was Anne.
Only Anne was the closest to Sarah.
Anne received a phone call from Sarah, suggesting they have a meal together.
“Did you get new clues?” In the expensive restaurant, Anne looked at the person grinning ear to ear in front of her, and she could not help but ask.
Sarah said, “No, nothing to find out about.”
Anne could not help but feel a little disappointed.
To be detested by Anthony felt as bad as being targeted by a demon.
Sarah knew what Anne was thinking, but she chose to ignore it.
After all, the shareholding in Marwood Group was more appealing.
The audio existed. She would have to let her know about it sooner or later, but definitely not now.
“Don‘t worry, I will look into it,” Sarah consoled her.
Anne could only nod her head, but she no longer had high hopes.
After the meal, Anne did not go in Sarah‘s car but took a train back.
The kids were not around, and she planned to stay on the fifth floor.
Walking up the staircase to the fifth floor, she bumped
into the man who was descending down the very same flight of stairs, Ron.
Anne was stunned. “Ron?”
Ron did not expect her to be back so soon and was quick to compose himself. “Now that your mother and I are separated, you don‘t have to be a stranger. We are not in the office as well. You can call me Uncle Marwood.”
Anne could not decipher what he was up to, then asked,”
Did you come looking for me?”
“No matter what, you only end up this way because of Anthony. I had always wanted to visit you, only now that I had the time to. Are you doing well?” Ron asked.
Anne still could not read him, and it somehow made some sense.
After all, the fact that she could no longer conceive a child after the abortion was pretty tragic.
As Anthony‘s father, it was normal for him to express his care and sympathy as Anthony‘s father, except that Anne was not ready to accept that.
However, she did not show it. “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Marwood. I am fine.”
“So, when would you return to work?” Ron asked.
Anne initially thought about leaving and did not have the intention to return to the Marwood Group. However, now she thought she needed the job.
After all, she had three kids to raise! Plus, the wages for the nanny.
All these were substantial expenses.
“I will return once I am fully rested.” Anne did not give him an exact time.
Ron nodded and said, “That should do. Then go on and have a good rest. Just let me know if you need anything, and I will do my best to compensate you.”
Anne looked at Ron, leaving, and thought, did he really want to compensate her?
Before Ron and Sarah divorced, he indeed opposed Anthony for Anne. He almost destroyed the Marwood Group because of that.
It could be because of their relationship back then, but what now? Was it because he was nostalgic?
Anne returned to her apartment and walked to the living room.
She noticed something was wrong when she reached the couch.
The pillows on the couch were all messy. She remembered that they were not placed like that before she left the house.
Chapter 358
Anne turned to look at the things around her house. She even went into the bedroom.
She felt that something was not right but could not tell what.
Could she have forgotten to organize the pillows on the couch?
Anne felt strange.
She walked out of the house and found her spare key hidden under the plant.
The key was still there, but she did not keep it there anymore.
If Sarah could find the spare key laying in here, she was certain that other people would be able to find it too!
However, would Ron enter the house?
Why would he enter? Her hypothesis could not really make sense, so she stopped speculating.
Anne rested a few days and returned to the Marwood Group the next morning.
She already knew that she had become famous.
The search term ‘Anne Vallois‘ had been trending on the internet for a few days.

However, the people who made it into working in a big corporation were all very slick with their interpersonal skills. They all pretended that nothing had happened.
Xander, on the other hand, was stunned to see her around. “Hey, you‘re here?”
“Good morning, Director.”
“Well, come on in. We have a report to review.”
Anne followed him into the office.
Xander placed the documents in his hand down on the table and then found the report for her. “How are you feeling? Can you work? You don‘t have to push it if you can‘t. After all, it would all be paid leaves.”
Anne did not have the audacity. She had already been on paid leave for over a month.
“If I ever feel that I cannot do this, I will tell you,” Anne said. Before leaving the door with the report, she remembered something and asked, “Is tomorrow payday?
“Yes, tomorrow,” Xander replied.
Did she seem like she deliberately came back a day before the payday?
Anne did not care about it and walked out of the office. After all, she did not desire to be on paid leaves. Xander knew well enough about what had happened to her.
Even though he worked for Marwood, his heart belonged to the Archduke Group.
If he was not Anthony‘s right–hand man, how could he be assigned here?
Anne came back to her own department and mingled well
with her colleagues.
No one asked why she was on leave for a whole month, nor did they ask about what was on the internet. That was the best.
“There will be a senior management meeting in the afternoon. Anne, please get ready.” Xander walked out of his office.
Anne frowned. She was lucky‘!
As soon as she was back, there was a senior management meeting! That meant she would definitely see Anthony!
She could not choose not to attend though!
She could already imagine what Xander would say if she were not there.
She had to be professional if she had already returned to
work.
That afternoon when they were on their way to the meeting room, Anne asked, “Director , your surname is Clayton, Oliver‘s surname is also Clayton, are you related?
“You don‘t know?”
“What?”
“He is my cousin.”
“Cousin?”
“Yes, we carried our parents‘ surnames.”
Anne figured they would be related because their working styles were similar. They were both very cautious people.
Otherwise, they would not have been seen so importantly
by Anthony.
To be able to work alongside Anthony, they must be impeccably capable.
The door of the lift opened, and the person inside walked out. He had very long legs, his body was tall and buff, and his aura was strong. An intimidating air filled the atmosphere.
Anthony appeared. His appearance caused invisible pressure, making the people around him seem to be
shorter by a few inches. Following him was Oliver Clayton.
Chapter 359 When Anthony‘s sharp and terrifying gaze swept past, Anne immediately held her head low alongside Xander.
“Mr. Marwood.” “Hmm,” Anthony responded and continued walking straight. Xander and Oliver followed him. At the back of the parade was Anne.
Anthony‘s attitude was as though nothing had happened, cold and indifferent. Anne still had her guard up. She wished to be able to turn invisible.
Everyone else was already in the meeting room. No, in fact, Tommy was absent, but this was nothing strange. He was always absent.
Anne sat behind Xander, facing the laptop on her lap.
Once the meeting commenced, she was busy typing down the minutes.
When it was Xander‘s turn to present, she projected the data onto the screen. Whenever they talked about the flaws in the numerical data for the Finance Department, Damian‘s face would twitch as though feeling guilty about it. Anne kept her focus on the laptop as though she only had eyes for the laptop.
She did not dare to look around. She was afraid to look into a scary bottomless pit if she did so.
As long as she kept dodging it, nothing would happen. “I have a matter to announce.” Finally, Ron voiced out. He did not care what other people would think, except for Anthony. Anthony‘s gaze alone was already enough for him to be sweating. “I give away half of my shareholding. There is no implication to the other shareholders. It is merely a change on my end.”
Anthony did not say a word, but his gaze could kill.
Damian was curious. “Who did you give it to?”
Ron felt his throat heavy. “To... Sarah Vallois.”
What? Anne reflexed. Her laptop almost fell off her lap. She looked at Ron with disbelief, and she even tried to observe Anthony‘s eynression out of fear.
Other people in the meeting were mostly indifferent to the news, but that was not the case for Anthony
His aura filled the atmosphere, creating an invisible yet suffocating pressure on everyone. Especially Anne, her fingers pinched onto the hem of her blouse so firmly that her fingers were going to have spasms soon.
“You... You must be feeling nostalgic about your past relationship,” Damian teased. In fact, he wanted to make a fool out of Ron. “I did not expect you to give away your shareholding
Ron explained, “Because Sarah is extremely greedy, I had no other option. Before this, I had already given her a lot of money to get rid of her. I did not expect that, in the end, she would still bug me about this. She said if I didn‘t give it to her, she would be bugging me forever. This is my fault.”
“Impossible!” Anne immediately defended, “My mother had never wanted to bug vou!”
He must be joking! If she admitted, Sarah would be unfortunate, and Anne, as her daughter, would never have peace.
“Otherwise, do you think I would just give away my shares to her? How dare you disagree that your mother is greedy!” Ron asked menacingly.
Anne had no other comments to rebut. Right, what other reasons could she have come up with? She could not think about one at all. “There is also another reason for me to give it to her. It is compensation for you,” Ron said. Anne realized he was talking about what he had said to her on the fifth floor the other day. She thought he was merely saying, without actually meaning it. Why did this escalate into this situation?
This seemed to have proven what Anthony said before: they each had their fair share to pay for.
However, was this a payback?
This was a disaster!
“The Marwood family is at fault to you. I, as the father, had the responsibility to do something. It is an important matter to a woman to be able to reproduce,” Ron said.
“Then I should thank you for it?” Anthony finally opened his mouth, but his remarks were suffocating.
His hawk eyes turned to Ron. If they were not in the meeting room, he could have killed him.
Ron was terrified by his own son being on his nerves. “Anthony, don‘t you be mad. You are already engaged. Bianca will be pregnant with your children in the future. take this as some merit for your future children.”
“Keep the merits to yourself!” Anthony looked ruthless, and he stood up. “Since you are so kind and generous, I will give you an opportunity to be one. From now on, your shareholding and position will be revoked. Don‘t you appear in front of me anymore!”
He left as soon as he finished saying that.
Everyone at the scene was so terrified that they did not dare to breathe. After Anthony left, only they caught up on their breaths. Damian laughed. He patted Ron‘s shoulder. “Bro, I did not expect you to end up more tragically than me. I lost my shareholding, but you can‘t even keep your position in the company. Your son is more ruthless to you than to me! You gave half your shareholding to
without even informing your family members.” Ron explained, “Because Sarah is extremely greedy, I had no other option. Before this, I had already given her a lot of money to get rid of her. I did not expect that, in the end, she would still bug me about this. She said if I didn‘t give it to her, she would be bugging me
forever. This is my fault.” “Impossible!” Anne immediately defended, “My mother had never wanted to bug you!”
He must be joking!

Your son is more ruthless to you than to me! You gave half your shareholding to
Sarah. Does that mean I will have to see her in every shareholder‘s meeting in the future? This is such a good drama, hahaha!”
After teasing him, Damian left as well.
Xander was the last to stand up. After standing up, he saw Anne, with a pale face, sitting motionless in her spot.
Chapter 360 He nudged her. “Ms. Vallois?”
Anne regained her consciousness and stood up.
She followed Xander to the meeting room door. Her gaze was, however, fixated on Ron.
“Director. I will return to the office later.” Anne stood still at the door and did not proceed.
Xander did not say anything but even helped her to bring her laptop back.
Anne returned to the meeting room and slammed the door shut. She walked up to Ron and interrogated, “Wliat do you mean? Why did you accuse my mother? What do you want? You said you wanted to compensate. If you really wanted to, why not ask your son to let me go?”
She was breathing heavily, and her chest was pumping up and down.
She could not remain calm.
Ron snickered. His tone was devilish. “Getting to know both your mother and you is the biggest misfortune of my life!”
He stood up, looked at Anne, and said, “Your mom gave you the backup audio, didn‘t she? Why are you acting like a good samaritan here?”
“What backup audio?” Anne did not understand.
“Too bad I couldn‘t find it at your place two days ago. Otherwise, how would I allow the both of you to be stepping all over me like that? Don‘t you celebrate too early about getting the
shares. Anthony would not sit on it. If I suffer, don‘t you expect yourself to live well too!” Ron said angrily and then left.
Anne pondered about what Ron said.
What was the backup audio?
vas why
Ron was not there to visit her the other day. He was there to look for the audio. Ti the pillows on the couch were messy.
Anne did not bring her phone along. She ran back to her office, found her phone, and then walked out as she called Sarah.
When she reached the emergency escape staircase, Sarah answered with a delightful voice.” Anne, what‘s up?”
“Where are you?”
“I am doing my nails at home. I got the nail artist here. Come back home, and you can get yours done too.”
Anne did not say anything but immediately hung up.
She did not even manage to inform Xander but ran straight out of the office to Sarah‘s mansion. Comment by Eunice Low: TBC
As soon as she entered the living room, she saw Sarah on the couch, watching the TV as the nail artist did her nails.
What an enjoyable life.
She was a little surprised to see Anne, “You‘re quick. I‘ll be done soon. You can choose a design that you like first.” Anne ignored her. She walked over and told the nail artist, “Please go back. We don‘t want to
do it anymore.”
The nail artist looked at her client.
Sarah sat up unhappily. “What‘s wrong? I am not done!” “Let her go!”
Sarah noticed Anne‘s unpleasant face, so she asked the nail artist to leave.
As soon as the nail artist left, Anne asked her, “What‘s up with the shareholding transfer of Ron‘s shares?”
Sarah‘s face showed a hint of guilt, and slie said, “He voluntarily gave them to me. I did not force him to.”
“Then what‘s up with the recording?” Anne asked.
“Recording... He asked you? Is he crazy? Why did he ask you about it?”
“Because he asked me if I had the recording, he even sneaked into my house to search for it when I was away!” Anne asked again, “What is the recording about? What did you do behind my back?”
She figured that it must be something big. Otherwise, why would Ron want to give up his shares?
“You will know about it soon.” Anne took her newly–purchased phone and looked through her files. “I wanted to tell you in person initially. We had the freshly signed shares transfer letter and wanted to celebrate it with you. Here, have a listen.”
The recording played Ron‘s and Sarah‘s voices.
Every word could be heard clearly.
When Anne heard what Ron said toward the end, her body froze. Mawby pushed Julie while Ron stood by the side and watched. She could not take the truth at all.
After the recording, Sarah said, “I guessed it right. Julie was murdered.”
Anne finally found her soul back in her body after a long while. “You found out but did not tell me, but first went ahead and blackmailed Ron for his shares?”
“Of course! Why would I not want it? Both of us had a pretty tragic life because of them!” Sarah said with a straight face.
Anne was exasperated. She could feel her head heavy. “You... You return the shares to Ron. Do you really think you can enter the Marwood Group?”
“When did I say I wanted to enter the Marwood Group? I just want the money!” “Then do you really naively think Ron would give you the money?”

Sarah raised her phone happily. “Therefore, I still keep the audio! I only deleted one of them in front of Ron! If Anthony refuses to pay up, he will need to think of other ways!” Anne lost her voice to even shout at her. She held out her hand. “Give it to me.” “What are you doing?” Sarah withdrew her hand. “Don‘t delete it! If you delete it, all my efforts will be wasted!”
Anne took a deep breath, she tried to keep herself composed, “We can never win Anthony. Don‘t make things worse, please.” “If we really cannot, then we can release the recording. By then, Anthony would not have to tackle us but thank us! If it were not for us, he would never find out how his mother died!
