Ch. 1001..1005: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1001-1005

Chapter 1001

“You know that the Lloyd Family didn’t get this powerful from legal businesses, right? They have the Lloyd Group now, but they started off doing illegal things that a normal person would not be able to accept. Nigel was too gentle to be a part of it. In the end, he got into a fight with Cory and left home.”

Ashlynn listened to Gavin as he listed all the dark history of the Lloyd Family in fear and once again realized what a different world the Lloyds lived in.

She leaned against the wall helplessly.

“Which is why you should stop investigating,” he said.

“I thought you were here to help me.” Ashlynn was not willing to give up as she would never be content with being Salvatore’s wife.

“The reason that I managed to stay in the Lloyd Group is that I know my place.” The real Corentin had helped Gavin, but Gavin still needed to survive. Crossing the Lloyd Family could not end well for him and he knew better than to act rashly.

Ashlynn did not force him to do anything as everyone had the right to their own choices. “Thank you for telling me these, or I would still be looking for the real Corentin .”

“It’s not easy to find people who died in Luton.”

“I know.” She nodded and was about to leave, before adding, “how do I check if my phone has been bugged?”

She could not keep borrowing phones from others and since Gavin worked in the Public Relations Department, he might know something about technology.

“Remove the shell of your phone and if you don’t find any external device on the surface, you just need to do a factory reset on your phone,” he said.

“Thank you.” She opened the door and left.

She had known all the answers to her questions and she could not stay any longer, or the driver would sense that something was wrong.

As soon as she went outside, she spotted the driver in the cafe. “What? Did you think I escaped? You don’t have to keep an eye on me all the time!” She protested.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Thompson, but I will be punished if I let you escape.” The driver was not exceptionally respectful, and turned to exit the cafe.

Her heart raced. One moment later and the driver might have found out what happened.

She sat down on her seat and finished her cup of coffee, before walking over to the counter to buy coffee beans. ” Which one of these are the most expensive?”

“This Blue Mountain brand is the most expensive, but it has a smooth flavor and is artificially cultivated,” the receptionist suggested.

“This one, then.” Ashlynn purchased two packs of coffee beans, before heading to a pet store to buy snacks for her dog and went home.

Inside the car, she stared dazedly out of the window and thought to herself, ‘So that’s how Salvatore replaced Corentin.‘

Cory wanted to use Salvatore’s heart on Corentin, but he had underestimated how ruthless Salvatore was.

Salvatore was never a man who would accept his death; though he was destined to die, Cory and Corentin had accidentally given him a chance to survive.

She had always wondered how Salvatore managed to escape the death row, but now that he had become the almighty Corentin Lloyd, no one else could touch a hair on him again.

According to Marco’s investigation, the Lloyd Family had not ceased their illegal activities in the dark completely and she could not help but wonder if the murder of the couple was in any way related to Corentin.

Once she got out of the car, she headed to the dog house and carried her dog into the living room, before handing the coffee beans in her hands to the butler. “These are for Corentin.”

“Sure. I will make coffee for Mr. Lloyd when he comes back.”

Ashlynn did not care and sat down on the couch to feed her dog, since the coffee bean was merely a camouflage.

Her dog did not eat much, so she carried it back to her room after feeding it a small bag of snacks.

Once she was in her room, she removed the shell of her phone and when she did not find anything suspicious, she reset her phone, before making a call to Anne. “Anne, are you busy? There’s something that I need to tell you.”

Anne was working in front of her desk at the time and said, “I’m free now. What’s wrong?”

Chapter 1002

“You don’t remember now, but you asked me to tell you anything I found about your dad and the Lloyd Familybefore you lost your memories. I think I found out why your dad broke ties with them…”

Anne listened to Ashlynn as she explained all the illegal businesses the Lloyd Family was involved in and widened her eyes in disbelief.

Though Anne had forgotten about what kind of person her father was, any ordinary person would struggle to accept such immoral acts, not to mention being involved in it.

“Just keep this in mind and stay out of this mess,”

Ashlynn reminded, determined to handle Corentin on her own.

“What about you?” Anne asked. “After all that you’ve said, my uncle…”

“It’s fine. I’m his wife. He won’t hurt me.” Once Ashlynn found evidence of Corentin’s crimes, she would definitely have him arrested.

Salvatore’s true nature would never change and it was only a matter of time for him to make a mistake.

After ending the call, Anne stood dazedly, still surprised to learn that she had made such a promise with Ashlynn. Her intention must have been to learn the truth, but what was Ashlynn’s role in this?

Anne did not understand the situation well, but it seemed as though Corentin and Ashlynn did not marry for love.

Anne paused and realized that the same applied to her own marriage.

Anthony married her for the children and because Bianca told him to do so. Since Bianca regretted her choice, Anne’s position was at risk, which was why she spent most of the time in her office and involved herself in most tasks even when Xander was in charge, she even went to the factory with Xander to check on the construction.

So long as she avoided seeing Anthony, he would not have the chance to propose a divorce.

With nothing left to do in the afternoon, Anne returned to her own apartment and laid down on the couch for a nap.

After a while, she jolted awake at someone knocking on the door.

Anne rubbed her eyes drowsily and got up to open the door. Without peeking through the peephole, she opened the door without hesitation and froze when she saw Bianca standing in front of her. “You…?”

“I just dropped by to see if I can get in. I didn’t expect someone to be here. Why are you here? Are you alone?” Bianca asked.

She had sent people to keep an eye on Anne the entire time because Mia had reported that Anthony and Anne were getting along harmoniously.

Bianca would not allow that. At the same time, she received a report that Anne had not spent much time in the Royal Mansion. Realizing that Anne was probably avoiding Anthony, Bianca decided that this was her chance to add fuel to the fire.

“Do you need something?” What Bianca said in

Anthony’s office still haunted Anne and her heart sank at the sight of Bianca.

“My mom was killed here, right? I just wanted to take a look. Can I come in?” Bianca asked politely.

Without another word, Anne let her in.

Bianca walked over to the balcony with a depressed look on her face.

Dorothy was her only family left in the world and Lilian had taken her from Bianca.

Chapter 1003

Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1003 “Someone died here. Aren’t you afraid?” Bianca asked after remaining silent for a few minutes. “I wasn’t the one who killed her, so there’s nothing to be afraid of,” Anne said. Bianca turned to study the innocent look on Anne’s face and sneered inwardly, wondering if Anne was fearless simply because she was a fool. Bianca faced Anne with tears in her eyes and walked toward Anne gloomily. “Anne, I don’t have a family anymore, but you still have your kids. Can you give Anthony back to me?” “What…” Anne was shocked. “I love Anthony, and he loves me as well. Can’t you let us be together?” Anne looked away with a troubled expression as she refused. “This has nothing to do with me. It’s Anthony wh-” “You are avoiding Anthony, right?” Bianca asked and knew that she had guessed right after seeing the anxious look in Anne’s eyes. “Anthony told me that you’ve been avoiding him and he hasn’t had the chance to talk about the divorce. Anne, you can’t do this. There’s no point in running. You have to face reality!” Anne took two steps back and shook her head frantically. “I had his children, so why would he divorce me…” “Because he loves me. He is done with pretending to love you!” Bianca said, her words stabbing into Anne’s heart like sharp blades. Anne had always known that Anthony did not love her and was rendered speechless. Bianca fell to her knees and Anne backed away. “What…what are you doing? Get up…‘ “No! I can kneel to you for Anthony’s sake!” Bianca said. “Anne, you can’t be this selfish! Anthony isn’t happy with you!” “I…I don’t know. Don’t make me…” Anne turned around, her mind a mess and her heart sinking into her stomach. Bianca narrowed her eyes viciously and stood to grab Anne by the arm. “Anne, let us be happy, okay? Anthony didn’t mean to marry you and he regrets it now. Anne, I’m begging you!”

“Let go…” Pained by Bianca’s nails digging into her flesh, she struggled to get away. “Ah!” Bianca fell backward, her head bumping onto the corner of the coffee table. She collapsed dizzily and whimpered, “Ugh…” Stunned, Anne stood anxiously as she watched Bianca and the blood stain on Bianca’s head. Bianca leaned on the coffee table and got up. “Why…why did you push me? Are you trying to kill me? I know that you want me dead because you want him to yourself…” “No…no, I didn’t mean to…” She had not noticed that Bianca let go of her arm, or she would not have shoved her that roughly. “How did I fall, then?” Sharp pain pierced through Bianca’s forehead and she could sense that something was scrolling down her face. She reached up and was shocked to realize that it was blood. “B–blood. Help! Someone is trying to kill me!” “S–stop shouting. I didn’t mean to!” Anne paled. “I’m telling Anthony, Anne. He is so protective of me that he will never forgive you. He’s going to divorce you!” Fear overwhelmed Anne at the moment as she thought dazedly, ‘That’s right, Anthony won’t forgive me and he’s going to divorce me. What should I do…” She thought back to how she was left in the holding cell after Dorothy’s death and could not imagine what would happen this time.

Chapter 1004

Chapter 1004 Afraid to bear responsibility, Anne turned and ran away. Along the way, she was afraid of being seen by the residents in the building, so she tiptoed. When she got downstairs, Anne was even more afraid that the driver would notice what she had done, so she pretended to be calm and climbed into the car. She was restless the entire journey, thinking about what might happen to her after Anthony found out. Her hands resting on her lap kept shaking… When Anne returned to my senses, the car had already arrived at the Royal Mansion. Anne got out of the car with a flustered look on her face. Then, just as she was about to see if Rolls Loyce was home, Mia walked over and asked, “Mrs. Marwood, you’re back. What’s wrong? You don’t look very well. What happened?” Was it that obvious? Anne covered her face with both hands, not wanting others to notice anything. “Mrs. Marwood, don’t worry. You can tell me anything. I’ll help you out,” Mia said, faking her kindness. Mia was the only one Anne could trust at this time. After all, Mia was very close to her and would help her with advice on everything. Hence, as if Anne had seen her lifesaver, she said nervously, “I–I just accidentally pushed Bianca down, and she fell to the ground. As a result, her head hit the coffee table, and she bled a lot…” “Oh my God! How did it happen?” Mia exclaimed. “I–I don’t know. I didn’t mean it…” Anne panicked. “Mrs. Marwood, you shouldn’t come back at this time!” “W–Why?” “Just think about it… if Mr. Marwood finds out that you hurt Ms. Faye, can he forgive you? Maybe he’ll directly file for divorce! After all, Mr. Marwood has already felt indebted to Ms. Faye,” Mia said matter of factly. “I–I–L” “Mrs. Marwood, listen to me. First, you should leave and hide. Then, come back when Mr. Marwood calms down. At that time, he won’t ask you for a divorce,” Mia said.

Anne thought about this plan and felt that it was feasible. As long as Anthony was no longer angry and she apologized, it would be fine… “I–I’ll leave now…” Anne said. “Mrs. Marwood, wait! You can’t let anyone know that you’re thinking of running away. Otherwise, they’ll bring you back. When the time comes, run to a place like a countryside where there’s no surveillance and hide. After hiding, find a way to call me. If Mr. Marwood calms down, I’ll let you come back. By the way, you can’t use your mobile phone to make calls, and you can only bring money with you. Otherwise, Anthony will track you on your mobile phone! “Mia arranged everything for her. “Okay. Thank you, Mia.” Anne turned and ran away with her bag in hand. Mia looked at Anne as she ran away, and a sly smile appeared on her face. Anne ran out of the Royal Mansion and almost fell several times from running in a panic. However, she did not stop for fear that Anthony would bump into her when he came back. She knew where to go from here, but she did not dare to ask the driver to take her. She could only…only run away by herself. Running away to hide somewhere no one knew. Anne did not know how long she ran, but she finally arrived at The Curve, which was not private property, and hailed a cab.

 

Chapter 1005

Chapter 1005 Even though Anne had got into the cab, she was still panicking. She took out her phone from his bag, opened the car window, and threw it out. The phone fell to the ground with a loud thud, shattering as the car drove by. “Sir, please drive faster!” “You haven’t said where you want to go!” The driver was annoyed. “T–To the countryside.” “Where exactly?” How would Anne know where exactly the countryside was? She was clueless about those things. “Just…just drive straight ahead.” It would surely lead them to the countryside. Anthony returned to the office after work when it was almost three o’clock. He took out his phone and called Anne, but no one answered. Instead, a call came in, and it was Corentin. “There’s no trace of that woman. Are you sure she is in Athetin?” Anthony was initially confident of it, but he was not unsure. After all, the person might have moved somewhere after so many days. “If she’s not in Athetin, it means she has allies,” Anthony said. Who would dare take in a stranger with a gunshot wound? “I’ll let my people take note of this in case there are other clues.” After the call, Corentin threw the phone on the table. Paul and Owen were sitting in the lounge. “Corentin, do you have a good relationship with Anthony from Luton? Do you want us to take action?” Corentin took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand. His eyes were closed, and he looked intoxicated. As it was inconvenient for Ashlynn to have sex recently, Corentin had been ‘celibating‘, and it was not easy for him. “That’s right, Corentín. You gave us everything we have now, and it doesn’t feel right not to do anything,” Owen said.

“Just manage the bar well and don’t cause trouble for me. You’ll be needed when necessary.” Corentin picked up the wine and finished it in one go, feeling refreshed from the burning sensation. “Corentin, why do you look sexually frustrated? We have newcomers in the bar, and they’re clean. Do you want to play with them?” Paul asked with a smile. Corentin smiled and threw the cigarette at them. Then, he got up and said, “Go ahead and play with them yourself. I have something else to do. Bye.” Owen leaned back on the sofa and said, “I can’t help but feel that Ashlynn is a menace, and Corentin will fall into her hands sooner or later!” “Stop with the nonsense. If Corentin finds out, the consequences will be unbearable for you.” Paul stopped Owen. “Don’t you agree with me? Ashlynn has caused Corentin trouble before! If it wasn’t for Corentin’s wit, how could he survive?” Owen said. “What do you want to do?” Paul asked. Owen made a throat–slitting gesture. “If we do it quietly, Corentin won’t know. After a long time, he’ll forget about that woman.” “I don’t know if he’ll forget about her, but I know you’ll be the first to die when Corentin finds out. It’s not like you don’t know that although Corentin is usually kind to us, he won’t show mercy when he becomes ruthless.” Owen flinched, but he still said forcefully, “I’m doing it for Corentin’s own good!” “Why don’t we keep an eye on Ashlynn? If we find any signs, we’ll tell Corentin. That way, she will have a bad end too. After all, Ashlynn’s heart is no longer with Corentin, and she’ll definitely not behave well.” Owen thought it was a good idea and patted Paul’s shoulder hard. “No wonder you used to be Salvatore’s advisor!” “F*ck you!” Paul laughed, almost choking on the cigarette in his mouth. Anne got out of the car, and the driver left without looking back after collecting the fare.

She stood by the side of the road, not knowing the direction, and everything was unfamiliar . Looking at the long and only road, Anne walked forward with a blank expression and the bag in her arms. Was this considered a remote place? There were fields on both sides. However, she still saw cars approaching, and she could not help but wonder if it was far enough. So, Anne flagged down another cab that happened to be passing by, just in case. The cab drove for another half an hour, and the driver could not help asking, “How much longer do you want me to drive? Where are you going?” “J–Just stop here!” Anne paid the fare and got out of the cab.
