Ch. 426..430: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 426-430

Chapter 426 Lucas said nothing but just looked at her. Anne felt awkward from being stared at by Lucas. Then, she took a sip of her coffee and pursed her lips. “How have you been?” Lucas asked, suppressing his emotions. “As usual...I go to work every day, spend time with the kids...” “You know what I‘m saying.”

“He‘s already engaged to Bianca, so it‘s no different than before.” Anne appeared tense.

Lucas‘s gaze became cold.

“It‘s almost time. I‘ll take the little ones back first,” Anne said.

“Sure.” Lucas did not stop her.

Anne got up and left.

Lucas put down his coffee and glanced out the window.

Teachers and students were passing by, but none of the school scenery caught his attention… On the way home with her children, Anne received a call. When she saw that it was Michelle, she quickly muted her phone. It was only after Anne got home and spent some time with the triplets that she took the time to call Michelle back.

“Are you trying to burn the bridges after all that?” Michelle said rudely. “Did I say that?”

“It‘s good that you don‘t have that idea. You saw my sincerity, right? Let‘s partner up and deal with Bianca.”

“Anthony really cares about Bianca. Anthony will never let us off the hook if you hurt her.”

“We obviously have to do it unnoticed! You should give her a taste of her own medicine!”

Anne thought Michelle was simply too naive.

Had she forgotten who Anthony was? Anthony had Luton under his command and controlled the life or death of the people around him. He was also ruthless and terrifyingly cunning. If they plotted against Bianca, Anthony could surely find out.

Now that Sarah had been kicked out of Luton, Anne could not mess with Anthony anymore. Otherwise, she would never get to see Sarah ever again in her life. “What do you have in mind?” Anne asked.

“Nothing yet.”

Anne thought that was a relief. “Let‘s talk about it later. I‘m in a mess these few days, and I don‘t have time to plan anything

with you.” “What‘s bothering you?” “Did you forget about the situation between the Faye family and ine? My mom got kicked out of Luton. If I work with you to deal with Bianca now, Anthony will think of me right away,” Anne said, “since you want to go against Bianca, I can‘t implicate you.”

“When will it be resolved?”

“I‘ll call you when I‘m almost done with it.”

“Don‘t make me wait too long.” Michelle hung up the phone.

Anne would never team up with Michelle against Bianca. After all, she did not want to dig her own grave. Right now, she could only appease Michelle first, but she could not offend her, lest Michelle stabbed her in the back.

Anne pondered and called Michelle again, “Bianca won‘t stop here, so we can use the situation to create our chance.”

Michelle smiled smugly. “Understood. I‘m tired of getting bullied by Bianca every day.”

At night, Anne called Sarah and asked, “How are you doing over there?”

“I‘m alright. I‘m staying at a hotel.”

Anne knew that Sarah‘s identification card was only restricted in Luton, but she could still use it in other cities.

“You‘re alone there, so be extra careful. Also, you must call me if anything happens,” Anne told her.

“Okay. I‘m not a child anymore...” Sarah glanced at the other man in the room. “It‘s getting late, so I‘m going to sleep.” After hanging up the phone, Nigel came over and asked, “Was it Anne?” “Is there anyone else who cares about me besides my daughter?” Sarah laughed at herself,” But are you sure it‘s okay for you to be here? I‘m worried that your wife and daughter will find out. You don‘t have to feel guilty about this. We‘re both adults, and what happened was just a one–night affair.” “I‘ll take responsibility for this.” Nigel seemed awkward. “How? Are you going to marry me?” Sarah asked. Nigel looked away, not saying a word. When Sarah saw this, she only snorted. Then, she approached him and grabbed his tie, pulling him toward her.

Nigel‘s upper body leaned forward slightly, leaving only a tiny space between his and Sarah‘s faces. In a flash, he grabbed his tie, and his breathing turned slightly heavy, “Sarah...” “Your daughter said I seduced you. I just want to see if it‘s that easy to seduce you,” Sarah said. Nigel calmed down, pulled his tie back, and took a step back, “I‘m here to make sure you‘re safe. Otherwise, Anne will be worried. Since everything is alright, I‘m leaving.”

After that, Nigel walked toward the door.

“Nigel, you‘re a coward!” Sarah yelled angrily. Nigel stopped in his tracks, but he did not turn around. Then, he opened the door and went out. Sarah looked at the closed door and smashed the water glass on the table with rage. Nigel stood in front of the elevator door and waited for the elevator, taking out his

cigarette. However, he could not light up his cigarette even after several tries. “I‘m sorry, but smoking is not allowed here,” a hotel staff member reminded him.

Nigel nodded apologetically and tossed the cigarette in the trash can. He did not know what he was doing...

Everything was a mess...

Now that Sarah had settled down, Anne was no longer as anxious. Instead, she went to work as usual and did not find Anthony or call him.

She knew that the more anxious she was, the messier her mind would be, and Anthony would also be even more disgusted.

Working at the Marwood Group was equivalent to being in Anthony‘s control.

Even though Anne would appear on the surveillance screen from time to time, she did not try to avoid it. Instead, she openly chatted and laughed with her colleagues as if nothing had happened.

Chapter 427 Anne went to the bathroom while on the phone, and she was speechless when she heard Sarah was playing blackjack. “Who are you playing blackjack with?” Anne asked.

“There happened to be a cardroom in the hotel, so I went to look around. Coincidentally, they were short of people, so I joined them.”

“You don‘t even know them. Aren‘t you afraid of getting tricked again like last time?”

“I won‘t, so don‘t worry about it… Wait! 21! Blackjack! Anne, I‘ll call you back when I‘m done. It‘s really different here.”

Without waiting for Anne to respond, Sarah hung up.

Anne looked at her phone, feeling helpless.

This was considered a blessing in disguise, right? At least Sarah could have some fun and not feel miserable while she stayed in Santa Nila. Otherwise, Anne would only be worried for her.

Suddenly, someone rested their hand on Anne‘s shoulder. It was heavy, so it was definitely not a lady.

“Who did you call?” Tommy inched closer and asked.

When Anne saw him, she knew that someone from the Archduke Group would most likely see this as the surveillance was just in the upper right corner. If she deliberately flirted with Tommy, would it attract Anthony‘s attention?

However, Anne did not do so.

On the one hand, she did not want to flatter herself, on the other hand, she did not want to flirt with Tommy.

Later, Anne pushed Tommy‘s hand away and said, “We‘re at work, so please show some respect.”

“Everyone knows that you‘re my girlfriend. Let alone putting my arm around your shoulder, even kissing you is normal,” Tommy said wickedly.

Anne resisted the urge to roll her eyes and turned to go to the bathroom.

“Is your mom in Santa Nila now?” Tommy asked.

Anne stopped in her tracks and turned around. “You went to check?“.

“As my girlfriend, shouldn‘t I know everything?” Tommy did not deny his actions.

“Since you know about this, why are you still asking me?” “You seem...to be in a good mood.”

“I think it‘s a good thing. My mom leaves first, and I‘ll leave later. It‘s only a matter of time,” Anne said and left.

Anne stood in front of the mirror when she entered the washroom, forgetting what she was there for.

Indeed, when Sarah was forced to leave Luton, she was terrified and panicked. However, Anne was much more relaxed after accepting the fact, especially with Sarah‘s quick adaptability to the environment.

It was as if Sarah would be happy as long as she had blackjack. When Anne was about to get off work, she received a call from Sarah.

“Anne, I won 60 USD!”

“Isn‘t it only 60 USD? Why are you so excited?” Anne asked. After all, Sarah would usually spend a few hundred dollars on each meal!

“You don‘t know the fun of winning money, and you won‘t understand it anyway.” Sarah was in a great mood. “By the way, you don‘t have to find ways for me to return. I‘m going to settle here.”

Anne was stunned by Sarah‘s plan, but it did not seem like a bad idea. Like she told Tommy, it would be great if she could really follow Sarah and leave Luton in the future.

“Don‘t mess with Anthony, that b*stard.”

“I didn‘t. I didn‘t look for him after that.”

“That‘s good to hear. If you really miss me, we can always video call!”

“I know... don‘t go out on your own at night. You‘re not familiar with the place yet.”

“This is the great Hubert! It‘s very safe.” Anne laughed. It was indeed a safe place. “By the way, can you send me some clothes?” Sarah said, “A lot of clothes in my cloakroom are still new and unworn. It‘s a pity not to wear them!” “Okay, I‘ll take a look tomorrow and send them to you.”

Anne took a leave of absence in the afternoon and went to Sarah‘s mansion. Sarah‘s housekeeper was still there, clueless about what had happened.

Chapter 428 Anne told the housekeep everything and was ready to settle her salary. After all, Sarah would never come back anymore. However, Sarah wanted Anne to move out of her small neighborhood and into the mansion, which would be vacant anyway.

Anne knew that, but still had her three little ones, and staying in the small neighborhood could easily hide their identities.

It would not be so if they stayed in Sarah‘s mansion. Even the condo that Nigel bought for her did not feel safe! Suddenly, Anne heard the sound of a car engine.

Anne was surprised and wondered who it was.

Not long after, Dorothy and Bianca arrogantly walked in.

Anne frowned, looking annoyed. “What are you doing here?”

“Bring our things in!” Dorothy instructed the driver, who was carrying several bags. Then, she announced, “From today, this is our hotel, and we can come and stay whenever we want.”

Anne stood, and her face was cold. “This is my mom‘s mansion. Don‘t be ridiculous.” “Didn‘t she leave Luton? She won‘t live here anymore!” Dorothy retorted, “It‘s such a waste to leave this place unused. Besides, Bianca is your sister, so it‘s okay for her to live here occasionally, right?”

Bianca looked around, walked over to the display rack, and knocked over a vase. The vase fell and shattered with a loud bang.

The atmosphere instantly became tense, and Anne was filled with rage.

Bianca laughed coquettishly, “Oops. I‘m sorry! It was an accident!!”

However, anyone could tell that she did it on purpose! The housekeeper stepped forward and said sadly, “That was Madam Vallois‘ favorite vase...” “Is it your turn to speak? You‘re just a housekeeper!” Bianca slapped her.

Smack!

The sound echoed in the room.

The housekeeper covered her burning face and stepped back. “What the hell are you doing?” Anne was shocked and hurriedly protected the housekeeper behind her, asking concernedly, “Are you okay?” The housekeeper shook her head. She was fine, but anyone would feel aggrieved if they were suddenly slapped for no reason. Anne was furious and rushed forward to slap Bianca in the face.

However, Bianca did not step back, and she even confronted Anne. “Hit me! I dare you! After you‘re done, I‘ll immediately find Anthony, and we‘ll see how he‘ll punish you!”

Anne‘s hand froze in midair.

“Without Anthony, you still have Sarah, who‘s alone in Santa Nila! You better watch out. It won‘t be surprising if she‘s accidentally hit by a car one day and beaten by someone,” Dorothy said viciously.

Anne could immediately hear the threats in her words. Then, she weakly put her hand down, shouting, “You‘re going too far!”

“Too far? Are we? Why don‘t I remember anything?” Dorothy laughed and asked Bianca. Then, she added, “But you can still choose to call the police, just like last time.”

After calling the police last time, Anne finally realized that Anthony would only help Bianca, and she was nothing but an eyesore for him.

Therefore, even calling the police again was of no use.

Besides, she was worried about Sarah, so she did not dare to fight back as much. “What the hell do you want?” Anne tried to calm herself down. “You and her to leave the mansion. From now onward, this is my private hotel.” Anne pointed at Anne and the housekeeper.

“But this house belongs to my mom. Isn‘t what you‘re doing unlawful seizure of property?” Anne could not believe their behavior.

“Yes, we‘re seizing her property. So what?” Bianca looked at Anne triumphantly and viciously.

Anne did not want such a lovely mansion to fall into their hands, but what could she do?

She was alone and helpless. “Get out of here!” Bianca chased them away rudely.

Chapter 429 Anne held back her anger and calmed herself down. “I‘m taking some clothes.” “Did I allow you to do that?” Bianca‘s gaze was vicious. “From now onward, everything in this mansion is mine, even the air you breathe! Get them out of here!”

The last sentence was for her driver.

The driver stepped forward and wanted to grab Anne. “Don‘t touch me! I can go on my own!” Anne shook off the driver‘s hand. Then, she left with the housekeeper.

Soon after, she heard Dorothy purposely raising her voice, saying, “The main reason is that we have a son–in–law like Anthony!”

The housekeeper was worried and asked, “Are we really not calling the police? What‘s the difference between them and a tyrant?”

“No. They‘ll leave on their own sooner or later...” Anne said as she looked at the mansion.

The housekeeper was confused. Would they really leave? They seemed to be deliberately making things difficult!

After settling the housekeeper‘s salary, Anne returned to her small neighborhood alone.

She sat in the subway, feeling exasperated. What should she tell Sarah?

Just as Anne got out of the subway, Sarah called. “Have you delivered my clothes?” Sarah asked.

“No…”

“Were you busy?”

“A little...”

“Are you hiding something from me? Did Anthony do something to you again?”

“No.”

“I‘m your mom. Don‘t you think I can tell when something‘s up?” “It‘s not him…” Anne looked down. “It‘s Dorothy and Bianca...they occupied the mansion.”

“What?” Sarah exclaimed in disbelief, “Are they the mafia?”

“Just ignore it. They were so smug. I‘ll find a way.” “What way? Are you going to look for Anthony again? I won‘t agree to that!” Sarah was a woman of integrity. If she said not to look for Anthony, she would not let Anne find him!

“That‘s not what I meant...” Anne‘s head was hurting from the endless problems.

“Anyway, just stay in Santa Nila and don‘t get in trouble. I‘ll take care of things here.” After hanging up the phone, Sarah was still in a bad mood for a long time.

Why were they bullying her and Anne to this extent? Why were they unwilling to let them go? Sarah was already forced into this desperate situation, seeking joy amidst the hardship. Was it not enough for them?

Sarah started to overthink.

Her life was beautiful–She had love and a career, imagining marrying and having children with the man she loved in the future and growing old together.

Yet, his ex–wife suddenly appeared, and they remarried for the sake of his daughter!

“Even a worm will turn! Dorothy, don‘t blame me for doing this!” Sarah‘s eyes glistened, and a cunning look appeared on her face.

At midnight, while the homeowners were sleeping in the room, the phone on the bedside table vibrated.

Nigel woke up and checked his phone. As soon as he saw the caller, he became wide awake. Then, he looked at Dorothy, who was sleeping soundly next to him, and quietly got up.

Nigel only answered the call when he was out of the room. “What‘s wrong?” “Nigel, what should I do? I think someone is trying to open my door...I‘m so scared...” Sarah‘s voice was soft, sounding as if she was hiding. “Did you lock the security door chain too?” When Nigel heard that, he felt that the situation was serious and immediately went to the study. “I did, but the person outside is trying to break the chain!” Sarah was on the verge of tears. “Hide yourself!” Then, Nigel rushed into the study, took out another mobile phone, and called the hotel front desk. “Check on room 3083! Someone‘s breaking in!”

Chapter 430 The hotel receptionist immediately went to check Sarah‘s room.

Nigel urged the receptionist as he comforted Sarah.

When the receptionist arrived at Sarah‘s room, he found the door was opened slightly with the safety door chain still attached. It could be seen that someone really came and opened the door.

Sarah, who was hiding in the bathroom, only came out when they assured her that she was safe.

After that, the hotel staff came and checked everywhere and apologized to Sarah, saying that a guest had probably mistakenly entered her room.

Such an excuse was ridiculous.

Nigel, who had been on the phone, heard it and said to Sarah, “Pass the phone to the receptionist.”

Sarah did as he said and let him communicate with the staff.

Sarah did not know what Nigel had said, but the staff appeared more humble now, and he kept apologizing on the phone and even bowing.

Sarah thought Nigel was really attractive at this moment.

Not long after, the staff passed the phone to Sarah, apologizing and promising her safety before leaving Sarah latched the safety chain and asked Nigel, “What did you say to him?” “I want them to check the surveillance, or I‘ll call the police. I also want them to ensure your safety tonight.” Then, Nigel paused and added, “You should move to another hotel tomorrow.

This hotel is not that safe.”

“Move to another hotel...” Sarah was hesitant. “That‘s a little troublesome. I think the hotel will be more careful after your warning.”

Nigel said, “I‘ll find one for you. You‘ll just have to move when the time comes.”

“I‘m so sorry for calling you so late.. I didn‘t want to call Anne for fear of startling her, so I immediately thought of you. I was so panicked.”

“You were right to call me. Anne would be afraid too.” Nigel definitely disapproved of Sarah calling Anne, who was still sleeping. “As I said, you can find me whenever you need.”

Sarah choked with sobs. “Thank you. Otherwise, I wouldn‘t have known what to do...”

“But I can‘t do much.” Nigel‘s voice became deeper.

“No. It‘s more than enough,” Sarah said, “I‘m alright now, so you should get some sleep. I‘m sorry to trouble you. Goodbye.”

Before Nigel could speak, she hurriedly hung up the phone.

Her fear had disappeared in a flash. Someone had indeed opened her door, but it was her blackjack buddy. Even if they found that

person, they could easily say it was not a big deal as they only tried to rob her due to greed. Sarah‘s goal was Nigel–She wanted to get his attention and get closer to him. As long as Nigel felt guilty for her, he would not stand aside and do nothing. Since Dorothy and Biancadared to bully her daughter in Luton and seize her mansion, they should not blame her for stealing her man!

After Nigel ended the call, he did not return to his room immediately to sleep. Instead, he turned on his computer and looked for a suitable hotel in Santa Nila for Sarah, wanting to give her a better stay.

The most important aspects would be safety and comfort.

As Sarah was alone in a foreign land with no relatives, Nigel was really worried. Moreover, he caused this, so he could not ignore it.

The next day, Nigel wanted to call Sarah when he was on the way to the office. However, he thought she might not be awake yet, so he sent a text, telling her the hotel‘s address and room number, adding that she only needed to show the receptionist her identification card. Sarah woke up late. She liked to sleep in and wake up around lunchtime. The first thing she did was check her phone.

She saw the text message from Nigel, smiled knowingly, and replied, (I just woke up and saw your message. I‘ll head over after lunch.)

After lunch, Sarah packed her things. Actually, there was nothing much she could pack as she did not have much stuff. Then, she directly took the cab and headed to the hotel Nigel had booked for her.

The hotel was extremely luxurious, and more importantly, it was really private.

The hotel staff took Sarah to the suite on the higher floor, where she could easily overlook the night view.

It was larger than the room before and was aesthetic yet comfortable.

Although Sarah had always preferred the finer things in life and always chose a decent hotel, the one Nigel found was better and more to her liking.

Therefore, the price would be higher too.

Sarah texted, (How much did you spend?] Nigel replied, (My friend owns the hotel, so I get discounts. Don‘t worry about it.)

Sarah smiled in satisfaction. Nigel was quite caring!

She might as well enjoy her stay.

Sarah texted, (Do you want to see what the suite looks like? Is it a good time for a video call?]

In less than a minute, Nigel called her. As soon as their call was connected, she saw Nigel in a neat suit in the office.

Since Nigel‘s business had moved to Luton, his company was there too.
