Ch. 96..100: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 96-100
Chapter 96 “Yay! I can go home and sleep with Ben!” Charlie was overjoyed.
“I don‘t want to go home as well!” “Can we stay in school forever from now on?” Chris asked.
Anne chuckled. She had originally thought that they would have a hard time adjusting, but they seemed reluctant to go home. Once the children were sound asleep, she stepped out to the corridor and saw Lucas walking toward her.
“Mr. Newman, are you not going home?” She asked.
“I will give you a lift,” he said.
“I...” Just as she was about to refuse, horror took over her expression.
“What‘s wrong?” Lucas turned around and saw a towering figure stepping out of the darkness from a distance; his expression was vicious and devilish under the lights as he approached.
Anne instinctively took a step back.
“What are you doing here?” Anthony ignored Lucas and stared coldly at Anne.. Anne paled as her mind went completely blank. “It looks like you didn‘t bear what I said to you in mind.” Anthony‘s voice remained calm, but the sound of it sent chills down her spine regardless.
Anne glanced at Lucas and immediately explained, “it‘s not like that. My...my mom went missing. She said that she would be here...to test the food in the school canteen. She wasn‘t home when I got back and she didn‘t answer her phone. I just thought of coming here to try my luck. It‘s not what you think!” Unable to bear the look of her frightened state, Lucas adjusted his glasses and interfered. “Mr. Marwood, we weren‘t doing anything here.” Anthony‘s expression darkened. “This is between me and her. You have no place to speak here. Come here!”
Anne knew that the last command was directed at her, so she stepped over. As soon as she was before him, Anthony pulled her toward him roughly
“Ugh!” She slammed onto his chest and proceeded to explain nervously, “Please believe me. What I said just now is–”
Before she could finish her sentence, he pressed his lips onto hers and threatened to swallow her whole, his shadow loomed over her face as she gaped in silence.
Lucas scowled at the sight with a dark expression.
“Umph! Don‘t!” She had not expected Anthony to do such a thing and immediately struggled to get away.
‘Why would he do something like that in front of the principal?!‘ She screamed in her mind. A sharp pain shot through her lips at that moment, and she immediately froze.
Satisfied, Anthony let her go and whispered in a hoarse voice, “I will know if you are lving once I look into it.”
Anne gasped for air nervously.
Anthony turned around and noticed that Lucas was still standing in the distance, unaffected by what they were doing.
“Mr. Newman, focus on your job and stay away from those who you are not supposed to be involved with,” Anthony warned, before leaving with Anne.
Lucas did not respond and simply watched as they disappeared into the distance. Naturally, he knew who that man was. He was the main reason why everything was changing in Luton. It was known that Anthony Marwood was a powerful man, but it came as a surprise to Lucas that he was twisted to such an extent.
“Ugh!” Anne was tossed into the car. She sat and stared warily at the man who followed her inside.
Anthony got in and took out his phone to make a call, his eyes still focused on Anne. “Find out where Cheyenne is.”
He hung up and said, “You seem to be mad at me?” “Why did you do that?” Anne questioned sharply. “Did I need your permission?” He sneered, “Don‘t forget your place.” Anne chewed on her lower lip in frustration while thinking to herself, ‘My place? You mean your plaything, right? That‘s right. As his plaything, I can‘t complain even if he stalks me!‘
Chapter 97
He glanced at the frustrated expression on her face and watched as the reflection of the street lights dancing on her pale skin though the window.
He could still taste her on the tip of his tongue and his whole being longed to get closer to her.
His phone vibrated and he reeled in bis urges, before answering “Speak.”
“The people in the area said that Cheyenne was taken away by Sarah.”
“Bring her back and don‘t bother playing nice,” he commanded, before tossing his phone aside.
“Did you find my mom?”
“I did. How are you going to repay me?” His eyes glittered with lust in the dark.
Familiar with the look in his eyes, she swallowed nervously and glanced outside the window, knowing perfectly well that she had no right to say no.
Anthony‘s men stormed into Ron‘s mansion demanding for Cheyenne and shoved everything aside that stood in their ways barbarically.
Terrified, Sarah immediately informed them where Cheyenne.was. They went to open the back truck of the car and released Cheyenne, who had been locked inside for hours.
She had thought that it was the end of her.
After taking Cheyenne away, Ron questioned Sarah, “What‘s wrong with you? Why did you have to upset Anthony again? Can‘t we have a peaceful week?” “I...that‘s Anne‘s mother. She abandoned Anne in the past and is now clinging onto her for money. I can‘t let her do that to Anne,” Sarah argued. “Even so, it‘s none of your business. You are just her aunt!” Ron said angrily. The drama in the Marwood Family had just settled down and he could not take another conflict after sacrificing almost everything to marry Sarah. “Alright, alright. Don‘t get mad. I was wrong. I won‘t do it again,” Sarah consoled him. ”
The sound of running water echoed in the room invitingly.
Anne stood stiffly under the shower. She did not want to be intimate with Anthony anymore, but there was no way that she could avoid it. The door to the bathroom opened and Anne jumped in fear. Without turning around, she already knew who it was. Anthony pressed his fingers against the glass door and slowly applied pressure. His eyes were fixated on her slim figure, her curves faintly showing through the steam. His breath hitched as he felt his blood boil. Without bothering to take his clothes off, he stepped into the shower. She could sense him approaching from behind and despite the hot water running through her body, her body shivered uncontrollably.
He wrapped his arms around her trembling body and she bit on her lower lip to tolerate the sensation.
Anthony narrowed his eyes and stared at the smooth, fair skin behind her neck. His throat went dry at the sight of the faint lines of veins under her skin and he panted heavily as he bit down on her neck.
“Umph! Don‘t...” She lifted her chin by reflex like a beautiful swan, but Anthony was not going to listen to her. He grabbed a hand over her jaw and turned, before devouring her lips.
She shook her head frantically. “I don‘t want to...”
“Why not?” He breathed down her neck heatedly. “Do you like that principal?
She did not expect him to mention Lucas. “Of course, not…”
“Give up. You won‘t get a chance, even if you do, I will make him disappear from Luton.”
She trembled and tightened her grip on the handle, her knuckles turning white from the pressure.
The mirror was clouded by the steam and reflected nothing but the blurred outline of their bodies. The water was still running inside the bathroom and under the faint light above the bed, Anne was pinned against the bed, her cheeks wet from tears and sweat.
As it began to dawn, Anthony got out of bed and turned to glance at Anne, who had lost consciousness on the bed, her hair was covering most of her face and the small part that was showing was flushing a crimson shade of red. Her eyes were tightly shut as she breathed with her mouth in oblivion.
The look in his eyes darkened. He had multiple partners before, but he had never experienced such uncontrollable lust toward a particular woman in the past.
He turned around and stepped into the bathroom.
When Anne heard the water running, her eyes opened abruptly and locked onto his phone on the nightstand.
She glanced at the bathroom warily and struggled to reach out for the phone. When she finally had it, she was surprised to find out that there was no password for the phone.
Perhaps that was precisely how confident Anthony was that he was invincible.
She immediately downloaded a GPS application onto his phone, which naturally took time and her eyes darted back and forth between the bathroom and the phone as she waited.
One minute had passed and only one third of the process was completed.
Her heart raced. If Anthony caught her, she would not live to see another day. This was no doubt a suicide mission.
Fifty percent...fifty–five percent...sixty percent...
The sound of the running water stopped and Anne paled. The application was still downloading, but she could not set the phone down because it would mean she was giving up. When the progress bar reached a hundred percent, she could almost hear her own heartbeat as her mind went blank from the intense pressure she felt.
She immediately hid the application icon from the menu. So long as Anthony did not specifically look for it, he would not know that he was being traced.
The bathroom door opened and Anthony stepped out in his robes. He stepped toward the bed and noticed that Anne was still asleep.
His phone rang and he walked over to pick it up. “Mr. Marwood, Elder Marwood found the person who tried to kill you.” “He sure is efficient,” Anthony said coldly, “send the assassin to the Royal Mansion.” He hung up and fell back to bed to sleep. Anne opened her eyes and was surprised that Anthony went straight to sleep. He used to leave straight away, and even if it was his own bed, he would never sleep beside her. Dismissing it as one of his spontaneous actions, she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
By the time she woke up, it was already morning. Anthony was nowhere to be seen and his phone on the nightstand was gone as well. She spotted a clean change of female clothing which she assumed was for her.
Anne felt even worse after sleep and her legs were trembling as she tried to get up. She stumbled toward the stairs and turned her attention to the living room downstairs.

Anne felt even worse after sleep and her legs were trembling as she tried to get up. She stumbled toward the stairs and turned her attention to the living room downstairs.
Chapter 99 She had not expected Anthony to continue looking into it. “Why was Anne looking for you at the school?” He questioned, “Was she there for you, or for something else?” Anne bit on her lip and glanced at her mother nervously.
They definitely could not tell the truth, or they would all be dead.
Anthony did not bother looking at Cheyenne; his eyes remained fixated on Anne when he was asking the question and waiting for the answer.
Anne struggled to breath under the pressure, and started to feel dizzy from the shortness of breath, so she had no opportunity to give her mother any hint at all.
“I...I wanted to work for the school and cook for the children,” Cheyenne said in fear, not knowing if she had said the right thing.
Anne remained expressionless, but was relieved at Cheyenne‘s response. Anthony looked away from Anne‘s face and commanded, “Hayden, sent these two back.” With that, he turned and left.
“Yes, sir.”
Anne and Cheyenne went back...and neither dared to say anything because the driver worked for Anthony
Cheyenne noticed the red marks on Anne‘s neck and felt horrible.
As soon as they arrived at where Cheyenne lived, Anne immediately asked, “Mom, are you alright? What happened? Where have you been?”
“Your aunt called me over,” Cheyenne shuttered.
Anne immediately sensed that something was wrong. If her aunt had simply invited her over, why did not Cheyenne answer her phone?
“Auntie is mad at you? But why?”
“She thinks that I shouldn‘t come back because I abandoned you before...I can understand why she thinks that, Anne. I was wrong back then.” Cheyenne did not tell the truth out of concern that she would upset Anne.
“It‘s in the past. I will talk to my aunt later.” Anne was at a crossroad with her aunt and mother on different sides, she could only resort to trying to settle their conflicts.
Cheyenne hesitated for a while, before finally asking, “You and Anthony Marwood... what‘s your relationship with him?”
“What do you mean?”
“Your neck...” Cheyenne could not help but ask.
Anne came to a realization and tugged at her collar, but there was no hope in concealing them. She still remembered what Anthony did to her the night before, how he was as crazed as a
starving beast.
“Did you go to him for help to look for me and in exchange, you...”
“No. It has nothing to do with you. I went to the school to pick up the kids and he caught me,” Anne said sheepishly. “He forced himself on you?”
Anne was not sure what to say. She was forced, but at the same time, she did not want her mother to worry. “It‘s not as bad as you think it is. We had kids together anyway, I don‘t really
care...”
Cheyenne frowned “Mom, don‘t worry. I‘m fine.”
Cheyenne did not know if Anne was truly alright, but simply wanted to know why her daughter seemed so tired,
“That was a close call just now. If you answered wrongly, apart from me, even the principal will be involved in this mess.” She changed the subject. “That was the only reason I could think of. Luckily, he didn‘t find out about the kids,” Cheyenne said.
Anne had her lunch at Cheyenne‘s place, before returning to her own apartment. She turned on her phone to check on Anthony‘s location and saw that he was in the Archduke Group.
Chapter 100 It felt much better to know where Anthony was, just like how it was always better to know where the monster was when one was lost in a forest.
She did not know when he would appear or attack, so she needed time to prepare herself, instead of waiting passively for him to jump her, otherwise she would be dead before she knew it.
Even so, it was still extremely challenging for her to escape Luton.
She could not obtain her passport and after failing to escape the first time, Anthony had been more cautious with her. Aside from that, knowing where Anthony was did not mean everything, because he still had a team of capable bodyguards.
Still, her situation had improved slightly.
Considering what had happened, Anne decided that she needed to speak to her aunt and made a phone call to her. “Anne, why are you calling me during this time of the day? Aren‘t you busy at work?” Sarah asked gently. “Auntie, what happened yesterday?” Anne asked, “I was worried sick when you called my mom over. I thought something bad had happened to her.” “What are you trying to say?”
Anne knew that no matter how close she was with her aunt, her aunt was still no her mother and while she might be allowed to get angry at her mother, she could not confront her aunt. They were not directly connected by blood, so she had no right to accuse Sarah of anything without thinking of the consequences.
“Auntie, I don‘t mean to accuse you of anything. It‘s just that...my mom is finally back and I treasure our time together. I know you do everything out of concern for me, but can we all just forget about the past? My mom was never happy in her marriage, so I don‘t blame her for what she did. I really don‘t! I hope that you can accept her.”
Upset, Sarah responded in frustration, “Not only did she abandon you, she even killed your dad. You might be able to forget about that, but I can‘t. If only Anthony didn‘t stand in my way, I would have wanted her dead.”
“Auntie...” Anne did not know what to do, because she understood how Sarah felt. “Can you please just let go for my sake? If you can‘t get along with her, just ignore her, okay? My mom won‘t appear before you ever again.”
Sarah remained quiet for a while, before asking, “Let me ask you something, Anne. If your mom and I fall into a river at the same time and you can only save one of us, who will you help?
“Huh?” Anne had not expected her to ask such a question and was not sure of what to say. “Are you going to save her and let me die?” “Of course, not!” Anne cared equally for her mother and her aunt. “Answer me, then.”
“Can‘t I save you both?” Anne asked.
“I get it. I won‘t push you anymore. Goodbye.” Anne stared at her phone helplessly, not knowing how she could resolve the differences between her aunt and her mother.
After hanging up, Sarah struggled to regain her composure.
‘Save us both, huh?‘ She thought, ‘It‘s a shame but only one of us gets to live! No one can find out about my secret, otherwise Ron will never forgive me! if he divorces me, all the wealth I‘ve worked so hard to obtain will turn to dust! I won‘t let that happen!‘
