Ch. 401..405: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 401-405
Chapter 401
Her eyes met his for a second, and she turned her gaze away. She stood aside and let him in. Anthony put his hand in his pocket and stepped forward with his long leg. His innate aura permeated.
Seeing Bianca’s tearful face, he walked over and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Bianca wiped the tears from her face, appearing as if her suffering was too must to put into words.
Nigel looked at him with a solemn expression. “Don’t you think you need to make an explanation? Don’t you need to be responsible to Bianca? You are engaged!”
His clothes were there, and Anthony could not deny anything.
Besides, he did not mean to deny it either.
“It did happen,” Anthony said.
Bianca’s heart suddenly fell to the bottom, and the tears fell even more.
Anne’s whole body was tense. Was Anthony trying to make her the scapegoat?
Nigel’s face turned extremely gloomy. “Anthony, what did you promise me? Are you going back on your own words? My family treated you with kindness and no ill will, right?” He said very seriously.
If it was just an ordinary person, Anthony would not even pay attention to it. He might even make that person crippled for the rest of this life.
“Mr. Faye, it’s not that serious. It’s not my fault,” Anthony said.
Anne’s hand trembled and clenched into a fist.
So, he was going to make her the scapegoat after all?
Bianca stood up. “I know, you’re not that kind of person. It’s Anne who seduced you. You’re her brother– in–aw, and only she would do such unethical things.”
Nigel could not bear it but asked, “Did Anne find you instead? What did she do?”
“She didn’t do anything,” Anthony said.
After saying this, the other three people present were all stunned. Everyone was puzzled.
Bianca thought that Anthony was covering up for Anne, and her expression suddenly changed.
Nigel hoped that Anne was innocent.
On the other hand, Anne did not expect that the blame that was about to be placed on her did not happen.
Bianca’s voice was still gentle, and she expressed her confusion, “Anthony, in fact, you don’t need to cover up for her. The past is already in the past, as long as she admits that she’s wrong, and she corrects it, I’ll let it go. I’ve already recognized her as my own sister. At first, I went to the Marwood Group to look for her today, but it turned out that she asked for leave, so I came here to find her, but I didn’t expect to see your car leaving…
||
Saying that, she was about to faint again.
Anthony wrapped his arms around her back and patted her lightly. His voice even softened, This incident started from the casino that day.”
Nigel asked, “What do you mean?”
“Come in,” Anthony’s voice sank.
The door was not closed. When Anne turned around, she saw the person who came in, Michelle Grainger.
She was astonished.
Casino, Michelle Grainger. Were the two related?
What about Bianca?
Anne looked at Bianca.
The change in Bianca’s eyes had not been completely concealed, but she could see it clearly.
Perhaps it was not as simple as she thought.
Bianca asked suspiciously, “Anthony, what does it have to do with Michelle? I don’t understand.”
Within the room of four people, the only one that Michelle was afraid of, was Anthony. She timidly called out, “Anthony.”
“Speak,” Anthony’s black eyes swept over.
His eyes were sharp and cold. Michelle’s breathing almost stopped. She shuddered and nodded hastily, “I’ll speak, I’ll speak! I went to the casino with my friends that day, and I happened to see Anne who was also playing, so I had this evil thought. I bribed the waiter inside and spiked …. Anne’s drinks…”
The last few words were very soft, but it was enough for everyone to hear clearly.
“What’s the purpose?” Nigel’s face was calm and his voice emitted oppression.
“Then…I went to find a few men to flirt with Anne, but she ran away. She met Anthony, and Anthony took her away. I don’t know what happened after that…but I really just wanted to tease her a little, not to make her crawl into anyone’s bed…” Michelle was still making excuses for herself to lighten her wrongdoings.
“Her drinks was already spiked, you’re saying you only wanted to tease her?” Nigel was obviously not buying her explanation.
Her own daughter was drugged and was sent to Anthony’s bed. Unforgivable!
“It’s you?” Bianca could not believe it. “In order to get resources in the entertainment
industry, you tried to please me everywhere, but you ended up doing such a thing to anger me?
“I
“I’m sorry, Bianca. I didn’t expect Anne to meet Anthony. I’m sorry…” Michelle said apologetically.
“What’s the use of saying sorry now? Only filthy people would use such a despicable method!”
Bianca was furious.
“Please forgive me. I will never do it again,” Michelle said as she lowered her head.
Bianca glared at her sternly, but when she turned to look at Anthony, she regained her restraint and forbearance. “Anthony, even if that was an accident, what about this time? I just want an answer, or I really can’t take it…”
Saying this, she covered her left chest with her fingers, as if it really hurt.
The effect of the drug would not last until now, so what happened between Anne and Anthony?
Anthony looked at Anne, and his black eyes gave her silent pressure.
They were sharp and pierced through her.
Anne lowered her gaze. In this current situation, only him and her were involved.
How should she explain?
As an elder, Nigel was the father to Bianca and Anne, so it was impossible for him to bear his daughters to suffer aggrievance.
He said sternly, “Anthony, you’re Bianca’s fiance now, and you will be her husband, her children’s father. You have to be a good example.”
“Of course,” Anthony answered quietly. “I’m Bianca’s fiance, and the other people mean nothing to me.”
Chapter 402
Everyone who was present knew that ‘the other person‘ meant Anne Vallois.
Anne lowered her face and lowered her gaze.
What Anthony said was right.
He had always treated her that way.
Just like between the original spouse and the mistress, the husband would always stand by his wife’s side.
The mistress was just to be toyed around in his spare time, and not someone who deserved to be respected.
“Yeah.” Anne said while holding back a sneer, “Last time, it happened because of drugs, and this kind of think will never happen again. Otherwise, it will be contempt for Bianca, an outright betrayal. It’s even rude to the Faye family, for such a thing to happen over and over. For those outsiders, they might even think that I’m being favored!“!
Anthony stared at her coldly. His eagle–like sharp glare pierced through Anne.
The sense of oppression was dangerous.
Bianca looked at Anthony’s terrifying face, and she knew that Anne went too far.
Who would ever favor her? How ridiculous!
“In this case, the person who spiked the drinks should be punished,” Nigel looked at Michelle.
“Or choose to call the police.”
“I was wrong. I only did that kind of thing since I was not thinking straight. There will never be another time.”
“Let’s forget about calling the police. It’s really ugly to make a fuss and expose it to everyone. The Grainger family has some status in Luton, and it’s not good to make both family ties awkward.” Bianca said kind words for her, “Previously, Anthony punished her to be unable to enter the entertainment industry. If the punishment is permanent, it will be more than enough for her.”
When Michelle heard that, her expression changed.
“Let’s go,” Anthony glanced at Anne coldly and gently embraced Bianca, preparing to leave the room.
Anne reminded him, “Take the clothes away.”
Anthony looked at Anne with gloomy black eyes.
Bianca said to Anthony, “I’ll go get it.”
Bianca held the clothes on the balcony and on the sofa in her arms. During this time, Anthony stared at Anne with his cold eyes.
Then, the two left the place.
Michelle also left hurriedly. When she went outside, she looked at the figures of the two
13
people who were walking up the stairs in front of her. She deliberately fell behind so that the people in the front were not visible within her sight.
She did not want to run into Anthony and Bianca again!
However, she was unsure if she would really receive that kind of punishment from them.
When would Bianca finally set her free?
In the room, Anne faced Nigel alone. She hung her head low, unable to face him eyes to eyes.
When such a thing happened, the only one she could not face was Nigel.
She hoped that in Nigel’s eyes, she was a good girl with self–esteem and self–love.
“I know that Anthony forced that on you,” Nigel said as he walked up to her.
Anne was slightly stunned. She raised her face and her eyes went red.
“Dad…”
Nigel asked, “What happened after you were drugged? Didn’t I tell you to call me? Why didn’t you call me? I’m your father. Isn’t it right and proper to protect my own daughter? I will only feel more guilty.”
“Dad, I…” Tears fell from Anne’s eyes uncontrollably.
She raised her hands to cover her face, but it was too late.
Nigel sighed and touched her head, “Don’t worry about troubling me, and you don’t have to be too considerate, or you will hurt yourself, which is something I don’t want to see.”
“Dad, do you think there will be another time?” Anne asked helplessly.
“I don’t know. That’s why you have to call me when it happens again.”
Anne nodded and said nothing.
Even she herself did not know if something like that would happen next time.
Chapter 403
She only felt the fact that her father was willing to trust her was making her very happy.
Nigel comforted her for a long time before leaving.
Sitting in the car, he thought about it for a long time. He held his phone up and then put in down again. Eventually, Nigel did not call Sarah.
He was struggling to cope with such a situation, let alone Sarah.
After everyone left, Anne sat down on a sofa, covering her face weakly as it was still wet from the tears.
What was all this about?…
If the event that happened today could make Anthony stop forcing her, then it was worth it.
She was afraid that no one could stop him…
A knock on the door pulled her back to her senses.
Who was there?
Depending on the sound of the knocking, it seemed like that person was not there to find trouble.
The door opened, and it was Michelle standing outside.
She had not left yet.
“Can I go in? I have something to tell you.”
Anne looked at the person who had drugged her indifferently, not knowing what else she was going to say.
She let her in.
“What are you trying to say? It’s unnecessary to apologize to me. It disgusts me,” Anne said coldly.
Michelle turned around and looked at her. “Anne, I gave you a chance, and you refused to cooperate with me, didn’t you?”
Anne frowned. “The last time you called me, you were already planning to drug me?”
“Yeah, if you agreed to cooperate then, I would have told you about the drug. Also, be it the time that you were drugged, or the time that you had a miscarriage but didn’t abort the child successfully, they were all Bianca’s ideas. She made me do it. She will help me to get resources in the entertainment industry, and I’ll be popular again,” Michelle exposed everything that she had done before.
Anne was not surprised, because she had already guessed it.
It was just that she did not verify her guess.
She knew that it was useless to ask for proof.
She played the recording of her conversation with Bianca in the hospital to Anthony. As a
result, Anthony sided with Bianca and protected her.
“Don’t you believe it?” Michelle asked.
“I think, what you truly want is not exposing Bianca’s true colors, isn’t it? You want me to cooperate with you, against Bianca. Are you really that daring? Besides, for someone like you, how do I know if you genuinely want me to cooperate, or are you setting up a trap for me?” Anne asked her.
“Hey, I was bullied by Bianca to this extent now, can’t you see? If you cooperated with me last time, wouldn’t I not have drugged you?” Michelle said unhappily, “If we let Anthony break the engagement with Bianca, she will be nothing. Let me remind you, even if you don’t do anything, Bianca will not let you go. You can see that for yourself!”
“If you really didn’t want me to go through such a thing, and you have the sincerity to cooperate, you should have told me before you drugged me. Instead, you waited for your scheme to succeed and asked for credit from Bianca, and only after you failed then you came to seek for cooperation!”
Michelle saw that she had been seen through, and she lost her stand. “Yes, I want to take credit. And now that my plan has failed, it means that you’re not put in disadvantage, no?”
“Didn’t you see what happened today?”
“Anne, you don’t have to play the victim after getting the taste of honey. I don’t even have a chance to sleep with Anthony!”
Anne was speechless, thinking that something must have been wrong with Michelle. She turned around and sat on the sofa. “You can return to the entertainment industry by taking down Bianca?”
“My current situation is caused by Bianca, with Anthony backing her up!”
“If you want to cooperate with me, I accept. But you have to let me see your sincerity first.”
“If Bianca has another order, I’ll tell you in advance?”
“Right.”
“Okay, deal. That’s it,” Michelle stepped away in her pumps with satisfaction.
However, Anne did not take it too seriously.
Anthony cared about Bianca so much, even to the point of getting engaged with her. It was impossible to break off the engagement.
Chapter 404
Maybe Bianca, who was wronged, was now crying and acting weak in front of Anthony. If Anthony felt pity toward her, then this problem would be bigger.
Everyone would suffer.
However, if she could know in advance what sinister means Bianca was plotting, she could protect herself.
It was not an act to offend Bianca and Anthony.
In the evening, Anthony did not come for dinner. He must be trying to appease his fiancee.
Anne hoped that Anthony would never appear.
After a week of taking care of the children and going to work as usual, Anthony showed no sign of appearing. As if the event of that day were having a positive effect.
Anne had always paid attention to Anthony’s position. The Royal Mansion, the Archduke Group, where all the entertainment locations were located. No signs of him getting close to her.
Because the house was under renovation, Anne occasionally contacted the designer and decorator. She would not go to the condo unless it was necessary.
However, there were indeed necessary times.
By then, the location tracker worked wonders for her.
Anne went over after confirming Anthony’s location was not at the condo.
She also did not want her condo to be renovated into something she disliked.
She had already seen the design papers.
However, there was still a difference between what was on the papers and what was renovated in reality.
That was why the designer asked her to see if she could accept some changes, but it would not affect the main design.
Anne stayed in the condo for more than an hour before leaving.
It was the weekend, so she did not have to go to the company, and her three children were still at school.
They did not have a rest day on Sunday.
The nursery children.
school itself was convenient for parents who did not have time to stay with their
Anne went to the elevator and browsed through the website about the amusement park. She was thinking about whether she should take the children out to play.
Because she was afraid of being discovered by Anthony, hence she seldom took them out to play. It was really pitiful…
After entering the elevator, she held her phone up and pressed on the button.
The elevator doors closed slowly, just as when they were about to merge.
With a bang, a hand reached out from outside and blocked the door from merging.
Anne, who was staring at the phone, was stunned and she raised her head.
The elevator doors opened automatically after sensing something was between them, gradually revealing the tall and muscular figure of the man outside, as well as his handsome but cold face.
His aura was powerful and intimidating.
Anne looked at him in astonishment. She stepped back subconsciously and her body was pressed against the wall. Her mind went numb.
Why was Anthony here?
Was his location not in the Archduke Group?
Which part went wrong?
Anthony glanced at her and stepped into the elevator with long legs.
At this moment, the elevator doors were completely closed and descended.
Anne stood stiffly as her palms were sweating.
She only moved her eyes nervously.
The space within the elevator seemed to have shrunk with Anthony in it. Anne felt the sense of oppression and suffocation drowning her.
Anne held her breath, but she could still feel the freezing air filling up her lungs.
She was standing slightly behind, but the elevator doors made with stainless steel reflected them both. She could clearly see themselves in the reflection.
The elevator descended floor by floor, going too slow as if a century had passed.
Chapter 405
“You tailed after me.” Anthony said in the depressing atmosphere, with his deep voice filling every corner of the enclosed space.
It filled, echoed, and weighed on her chest.
Anne replied, “No, the designer called me to come over as there were minor changes to the renovation.” How could she possibly tailed after him.
She had no such interest and had avoided Anthony like the plague.
There was a tracker on him, which was why she came!
Yet, she still bumped into him.
Even the tracker was bullying her?
“Were those words directed at me?” Anthony questioned in a monotone voice, with a sense of intimidation of something best left unsaid.
Anne instantly understood what he was referring to- The last time it happened because of the drug, this would never happen again. If it did, it would disrespect the Faye family, make light of Bianca, and be a blatant betrayal. It happened several times, and others who didn’t know what was happening would have assumed he liked me!
It happened several times, and others who didn’t know what was happening would have assumed he liked me!
He liked me!
That ‘he‘ was Anthony, who had touched her repeatedly…
Was Anthony here to settle the scores?
“I think…this is the best response, considering what had happened between us at the time, so that people don’t overthink it.” Anne was only telling half the truth.
She intended to make Anthony retreat.
After she finished speaking, Anthony turned slightly and stared at her with his sharp black eyes.
After a brief period of silent pressure, he began to close in on her.
Anne was currently in a ‘no retreat‘ tension with her back against the elevator wall.
He grasped her jaw and lifted it. “At least I can’t deny that I enjoy your body.”
Anne turned her head away in embarrassment, but the rough fingers on her lower jaw tightened his grip as soon as she moved.
It made her gorgeous face shrivel in displeasure.
“Didn’t you enjoy it too?”
“I did not.” Anne denied.
“What a dishonest mouth you have there.” Anthony’s fingers caressed her tender lips.
Anne appeared stubborn.
She believed all of her responses were involuntary, as opposed to on her own volition.
“You should keep your distance from me for Bianca’s sake. Can’t you see how sad she was?” Anne used Bianca to get out of the current dangerous situation.
Anthony’s eyes grew cold, and his stare on Anne was so piercing as though it had put a hole through her.
The atmosphere was so tense that it nearly broke the elevator.
The elevator ‘ding‘ just as things were about to get out of hand.
The elevator reached the basement’s first floor, and the door opened.
Anthony’s eyes burned with rage as he released his grip on Anne’s lower jaw, took a step back, and turned to exit the elevator after giving Anne a fierce stare.
Anne feebled and nearly fell after the elevator door closed automatically.
Even though she had faced Anthony multiple times, it was still too much to stomach once he got intimidating.
Moreover, what does Anthony’s look mean?
He did not say a thing.
Would he continue to touch her in the future?
At the very least, he responded when he heard Bianca’s name! However, the atmosphere had grown intense too…
She saw the black Rolls Loyce leave the parking lot and move toward the exit as she exited the condominium building after arriving on the first floor.
Anthony got annoyed, and his eyes grew fierce as he noticed Anne standing motionlessly and her figure getting smaller in the rearview mirror.
There was nothing that he wanted that he never got.
Anne was a sitting duck that was powerless against him.
He was merely obsessed with Anne’s body and the only place she could control his feelings was in bed.
She was a nobody out of bed.
