Corentin not only notified Anne but Jeremy as well.When they rushed to the scene, they saw Marshall and Beth lying neatly on the ground, as well as a woman whose neck had been slashed. Corentin was sitting in the car with his head hung and his long legs on the ground. His body and his arms were covered in blood. There was no way to distinguish where the wounds were.The first thing Jeremy did was to check on Marshall and Beth, but he found their bodies had long gone cold, and their pulses had already stopped."Dad! Mom!" Jeremy has a terrified expression. He could not believe it, and his eyes immediately got teary. "Why? How did this happen?"Anne was not willing to believe it as well. She went up to them to check for their vital signs. They truly have died."It's this assassin who captured them. When I rushed over, she killed both of them. This wouldn't have happened if I had agreed with Tommy's request…" Corentin was heavy-hearted.Anne asked, "What request?""Send you to him

Corentin went on a stroll with Ashlynn after dinner. Anne used the excuse of her feeling tired to return to her room early.Ashlynn wondered what it was that was so urgent when she looked at Anne's back as she left.She did not ask when Anne came back because she did not notice anything unusual about her.She should still ask about it, right…"Anne's fine. There's no need to worry about her." Corentin held her hand and gently squeezed it."You know about it?""If something happened, Anthony would have called as soon as it happened."Even so, Ashlynn still secretly went to Anne's room to look for her when Corentin was not around at night.Anne saw her as soon as she opened the door. "Why did you come over? You're carrying a child in your belly now. It's better not to run around."Ashlynn entered the room. "Why are you just like Corentin? It's like I'm a fragile item.""It's better to be careful." It was because Anne did not dare to interact with Ashlynn that she ran back into

"It's also possible that they had a small fight, so Anthony couldn't wait to run over and soothe her anger," said Corentin.Ashlynn nodded and believed in Corentin's words. After all, nothing else happened."I'm done washing up. You go ahead and wash up. I'm going to give my mother a call and tell her that Anne is also going to attend her birthday party." Ashlynn turned around and left the bathroom.She picked up the phone on the nightstand and dialed Beth's number.Corentin did not stop her. He simply looked at Ashlynn's back with a darkened gaze.Nobody answered the call after it rang for a few seconds.Just when Ashlynn found it strange, the call got connected. "Mom, are you busy? Why are you only picking up the phone now?""It's two in the morning here at my end.""Huh? What do you mean?""Your father and I are traveling abroad.""Traveling? So sudden? Your birthday is in a few days!" Ashlynn was extremely surprised."We…want to spend some time with just the two of us, s

Jeremy stood up. "I just sat down not long ago. Did you sleep well?"Just as Ashlynn was about to tell him she slept very well, she saw Jeremy's face, and she was stunned. "Jeremy, why are you so much thinner?"He used to be thin as well in the past, but he looked decent.However, at that moment, he had lost a lot of weight to the point that his cheeks were sunken."Are you having a tough time at work? Is it very tiring?" Ashlynn could not help but feel sorry.It took Jeremy a great deal of control to suppress that intense sorrow, then he smiled. "I've been working on a project recently that's been a real headache, so I've been pulling all-nighters."Ashlynn did see the dark circles under his eyes. "You have to rest no matter how busy you get. What happens if you ruin your health?"Jeremy pulled her over and made her sit down. "Don't stay standing. You're carrying a child in your belly! You're still worrying about me now when you're the one that I'm most worried about. I'll hold

After he kissed every inch of that small mouth of hers, both in and out, he hugged her tightly.Anne was feeling dizzy when he heard Anthony say, "I'll first help to wash you." His hand was caressing her back.Anne's back shuddered and tensed up.That was because her back was quite sensitive. It was even harder for her to keep calm after she was kissed by him.She originally thought Anthony was just saying he would help wash her up as an excuse, and then things would get dirtier as he washed her up.However, in the end, after they were both done taking a shower, Anthony wrapped her up in a towel and carried her out of the bathroom.After they got onto the bed, Anthony put his strong body on top of her without dropping his full weight on her so that she would not feel uncomfortable.He brushed the tip of his sharp nose against her beautiful nose. Her face was flushed, and her short breaths were filled with sweetness, which tempted him to do nasty things. However, he did not dev
