Anne knew what he meant: she was too close to Tommy, but it was not her fault! However, she also could not blame it on Tommy. "Bring her to the client's room!" Anthony demanded. The bodyguards by the door walked over. Anne trembled in fear. Seeing that Tommy was trying to help her, the other bodyguard blocked him from getting close. The bodyguard grabbed Anne by her arm… “Argh, don’t touch me. I don’t want to go…” Anne was very scared to the core, and she kicked the bodyguard's knees in panic. The bodyguard did not expect her to kick him and loosened his grip. Anne's body then bumped into Anthony's arm. He was holding a wine glass, and the wine spilled. The liquid drenched his fingers. The atmosphere in the room turned tense and chillier. Anne was so scared that she trembled. "I'll… wipe it off for you!" She quickly took the towel from the table and wiped Anthony's hand. Yet, his hand moved away. Anne was confused and terrified. Suddenly, Anthony's eerie voic
Tommy was speechless. "I don't want to see you mistreating Anne this way. She's innocent." "To me, nobody is innocent!" Anthony said coldly. Anne was pushed into a room, and the door was shut. There was no way for her to open the door. There was someone behind her. She turned back to see a fat man walking out of the bathroom. He had a towel around his waist with his bulging belly showing. When the man saw the beautiful lady, his eyes sparkled, especially as she was wearing his ideal costume. "I didn't expect them to have such beauty. No wonder the membership cost me five million bucks." Anne was shocked as she leaned on the door. "Don't… don't come here. I don't work here. I was kidnapped… Don't touch me." "Come, let me touch you…" The man was eager as he made a dive for her. "Argh!" Anne flinched and moved away. The man saw Anne hiding by the bed and became more excited. "Don't worry. I will pay you however much you want as long as you listen to me. You will have unlim
Anne stopped and turned back to look at him with teary eyes. "I remember, thank you. I will take good care of myself. Also, the person who bought this clinic is… Anthony." Tommy was taken aback and uttered, "Him?" "So, don't come here." Anne looked away and walked inside. Tommy stood there transfixed. He found it hard to accept. If it was Anthony who bought the Aesthetic Clinic, then he was also the person in charge of the Archduke Group… He would never have thought that it was Anthony. When did Anthony turn into such a powerful person in charge of the Archduke Group… The reason she told Tommy was to stop him from coming to this clinic in the control of Anthony. Also, she did not want Tommy to start a pointless fight as there was no point in fighting against the Archduke Group. Furthermore, she did not want to put Tommy in a difficult situation. Once she managed to leave Luton, she would never come back again. So, what was the point… Anne went to buy lunch in the afte
Anne knew that Anthony would never let her go unless she was dead… "Anne, come to my place for a nice meal tomorrow!" Sarah said. "Nice meal?" "You don't remember my birthday? I lived with you for so many years, and I always remember your birthday!" Sarah rubbed Anne's nose lovingly. Anne flinched. How could she go? Anthony did not want her to get in touch with the Marwood family, especially her aunt. However, it would be cruel of her not to attend Sarah's birthday… "Don't worry, just a meal at home. Just me, you, and your uncle-in-law. Anthony won't come to our mansion. You can go home after the meal. Nobody would know." Anne was convinced. "Okay, I will go." She had no way of turning her aunt down. Since it was just a meal and she could leave afterward, Anthony would not find it out so soon… On Sarah's birthday, Anne finished work as usual. After returning to the flat, she went through the back door and took a taxi to Marwood Mansion. She bought a gift for S
"Who is it?" Ron walked over and saw Anthony, who had not returned since he had severed ties with them. "Anthony?" Ron uttered. The bodyguards rushed inside forcefully. They were so powerful and almost knocked over Sarah, who was by the door. Luckily, Ron caught her quickly. “Anthony, what are you doing?” Ron asked unpleasantly. Anthony was cold; he ignored them and walked in. The mansion looked the same, but he did not see his prey. He then walked into the dining hall. There was a hearty meal on the table but only with two sets of cutleries. The bodyguard who had searched all over came back and reported, "Mr. Marwood, empty." Anthony narrowed his sharp and dangerous eyes. He took out his phone to check. His lips curled up cruelly. He then turned around in an imposing manner and said, "Go!" Anthony got in the car and left the mansion. Sarah and Ron went back to the dining room. Anne was not there, and even her cutleries disappeared… Meanwhile, Anne was runni
Anne answered with confusion, "I have been at home. I was showering, and I just got out, only to see you kicking the door…" She did seem as if she had just taken a shower. She was in her pajamas with her hair wet and it was simply wrapped around with an absorbent towel. "How do you know where I live?" Anne asked, feeling suspicious. Anthony was furious that he did not catch her on the spot. He went forward to pull her hair… "Argh," Anne cried out. "Are you playing tricks on me?" "I… I'm not…" Anne would never admit it unless she wanted to die! "If you don't trust me, you can… check the CCTV… I haven't been out since I got back…" "You really wanna play tricks, don't you?" Anthony pressed her chin with all his strength. Anne gritted her teeth and groaned in pain. "Do you think you can escape if I didn't catch you by myself?" Anthony asked coldly. "Even if you want to punish me, you should have a reason to. I don't know what you're talking about…" Anne defended herse
As soon as she turned on the phone, her phone rang. It was Sarah. Anne answered it. "Aunt…" "Anne, how are you? Are you okay? Did Anthony catch you? I didn't dare to call you." "I'm back and fine.” Sarah said, “That’s good. Anthony is unpredictable. He would even come back to our mansion to catch you. I thought he would never show up here again." Anne lowered her eyes. Was there a place in Luton that he would not go to? If he wanted to deal with the Marwood family, it was a breeze… "Anne, don't worry. I will try my best to get you out of it." "I will settle it myself…" "Even so, I have to help you. I won't let you get tortured by him!" Anne went to the living room after ending the call. Ron was sitting there with a frown. "I can't believe that Anthony still has his eyes on Anne. It's all my fault," Ron apologized to his wife. "It's not your fault. Who can stop him? Also, he's your son, and he won't go too far." Sarah got an idea and said, "Why not find him a wom
Anne really wanted to say that nobody told her to park here. However, she opened the door and went in. They went to a high-end restaurant. Anne felt like a round peg in a square hole here. The diners inside were dressed fancily. Michelle was in high heels and a branded dress, while Anne wore a pair of ordinary sneakers, light wash jeans, and a loose T-shirt. Her clothing was worth less than a hundred bucks. The manager stared at Anne when she went in. If it were not for Michelle's sake, Anne would have been asked to leave. After they were seated, Anne asked, "Why here?" "To dine, of course. This place is private. It's suitable for popular celebrities like me," Michelle said. Anne did not mind her tone as she had always been this way. Michelle picked up the menu and said, "Order something! You probably haven't eaten yet." Michelle was right. Anne just got off work and was planning to make instant noodles at home. Anne knew how expensive the food was without the men
