Ch. 1136..1140: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1136-1140
Chapter 1136
Obviously, Corentin would not say anything, and he did not give her a chance to ask.
The next time she opened her eyes, the sky was already bright.
When the curtains were all drawn, the room was so dark that she could not see her own fingers.
At this moment, there was a finger-wide slit in the middle of the window curtain, allowing the light from outside to come in.
Ashlynn did not turn over and did not look back. She knew that Corentin was not on the bed. Otherwise, his hand would be on her waist.
After staring at the beam of light in the middle for five minutes, she got up tiredly.
After pressing the button at the head of the bed, a layer of window curtain inside was opened, leaving a layer of thin curtains.
The whole room was bright, and the sun was not too glaring.
Ashlynn got out of bed and dragged her sore body to the cloakroom.
She could insist on going to the company on time on the first day, on the second day, and on the third day.
However, on the fourth day, she could not wake up because was too tired.
Just like working overtime continuously, it was impossible for the body to maintain a good spirit all the time.
She put on her clothes and listened to the movement outside. She quickly opened the medicine bottle and stuffed the pills into her mouth.
To avoid letting Corentin find out, she did not drink water when taking the pills.
The pill was a small one, and it was not too hard to swallow.
Corentin was obsessed with the matter of having children.
Recently, it was her ovulation period, and she dared not dare to forget a single pill.
At this point, she wanted to take two or three pills, but she was afraid that she would not be able to suppress them.
She did not go to the company until ten o’clock and made coffee for Corentin as soon as she arrived.
She knocked on the door and went in. There were other senior executives inside, discussing company matters with Corentin.
She was an assistant who came in with coffee, and they did not care about her at all.
She put the coffee by Corentin’s hand and was about to leave. However, Corentin said, “Wait.”
Ashlynn stood by and did not leave.
The high-level person who was speaking was interrupted but continued to speak.
Ashlynn listened relaxedly at first, but the next second, her body trembled.
A metal pen held between his slender fingers slipped gently down her leg.
Ashlynn clenched her lips tightly as the cold metal stuck to her skin.
Corentin, on the other hand, listened to the high-level report and took a sip of coffee, seeming very satisfied, with his brows stretched.
Ashlynn really wanted to splash coffee on his face. What was wrong with this guy? Even if he wanted to play hooligan, he had to look at the occasion!
However, thinking of Salvatore’s nature… Was this guy overwhelmed?
It was better to be exposed and to be found out as an impostor.
“The people in the operation department below say that they are under pressure every day. Is this the result of the pressure? Someone said to let her go home so that there will be no pressure.” Corentin’s faint look made the senior management in charge of the operation department break out in a cold sweat.
However, who knew that this frightening heir of the Lloyd Group was teasing the assistant in front of the senior management?
Ashlynn endured the whole process. It was not easy to keep her cool in public, and she did not want to attract attention!
Besides, if she really took a step back, Corentin might play tricks on her in his office again later.
She was definitely the one who suffered!
After half an hour, the senior management left.
Ashlynn asked blankly, “CEO, is there anything else you want to order?”
Corentin turned the chair, crossed his legs and hands on his lap, and looked at her. Are you feeling tired?”
“You can tell? I didn’t expect you to see it.”
Corentin smiled, seemingly in a good mood.
Ashlynn thought it was a fake smile but found that he was really in a good mood.
What happened recently to make him so happy?
Chapter 1137
She suddenly thought about Corentin leaving the company yesterday afternoon and the phone call last night. Ashlynn looked at him seriously. “What did you do?”
“What?”
“You came to the company yesterday afternoon, but you left straight away. Where did you go?”
“I had something to do, of course.”
“It has nothing to do with work, does it?”
Corentin took her hand, pulled her to sit on her lap, and slightly frowned. “Why are you so sensitive? It’s the same as your body. Baby, do you know how much I like your body?”
“I’m going back to work.” Ashlynn should not have asked. It was not like Corentin would really tell her.
“Aren’t you working for me?” Corentin refused to let go.
“Then don’t you have to work?” Ashlynn asked.
Corentin turned his head and looked at the documents on the table that needed his review and signature, and his expression changed. He patted her upturned buttocks and reluctantly withdrew his hand. “I went to Luton yesterday. Anne’s complexion was not very good, so give her a call and ask about it.”
Ashlynn stood up, dissatisfied. “Why didn’t you tell me yesterday?”
Corentin looked up at her.
The look made Ashlynn feel that she had said something she should not have said, so she turned and left.
When she arrived at the department, she took the mobile phone off the table and went to the bathroom. She called Anne.
Anne happened to be reading medical information in the office and answered, “Hey, Ash.”
“Corentin said that your complexion is not good. Are you feeling unwell?” Ashlynn
asked.
Anne did not expect her to ask this.
Yesterday, Anthony told Corentin that it was because of her hangover.
This showed that Corentin did not believe it.
It could be seen that this man was very smart.
“I drank too much that night, so I had a headache in the morning. My uncle just came over in the morning. I haven’t recovered yet, so he paid me a visit,” Anne said.
The relationship between her and Anthony was getting worse and worse, and no one could get involved. Not even biological parents.
She could solve it by herself.
“You scared me. I thought something was wrong with you!” The last time Anne’s family came to Athetin as a guest, she thought Anthony had bullied her.
Since Anne was fine, she did not want to ask more questions.
“I forgot to tell you something. I can see now. My eyes are better.”
“Ah, when did it happen?”
“It’s been more than a week, and I forgot to tell you.”
“Great, I didn’t even realize you said you were going to socialize.” Ashlynn was really happy for her.
It was really awful not to be able to see.
“Well, so don’t worry, my eyesight is restored, so no one dares to bully me,” Anne said lightly.
Anne chatted with Ashlynn for a while and ended the call.
Anne was indeed not afraid of being bullied, except for Anthony.
She found that she could not disobey Anthony at all. She had to follow him, and it would become very scary if something went wrong.
It was as if she was back in the past.
No, it was not like that.
When she was obedient, Anthony was easy to talk to.
She had to pay attention to Anthony’s expression all the time when she was with him.
There was a meeting in the afternoon, and Anne made preparations in the morning.
While typing on the keyboard, the phone rang.
It was Anthony who called. She hesitated before answering. “Hello…”
“Come down.”
Anne knew that he wanted to have lunch.
Chapter 1138
A few minutes later, she went downstairs and saw a Rolls Loyce parked in the square.
In fact, parking was not allowed on the square.
However, Anthony wanted to stop.
After such a stop, anyone who entered or exited the building would pay attention to this Rolls Loyce, which represented power.
It made Anne look like a thief when she got into the car.
Anne protested as soon as she got in the car, “Can you not stop here? Now everyone knows you are here to pick me up.”
After she finished speaking, there was an abnormal sense of oppression in the car.
Anne’s expression froze, especially when she met Anthony’s deep black eyes. She thought she had said something wrong.
“You’re afraid someone will see me?”
“No, I’m afraid others will envy me.” Anne quickly answered.
Anthony’s eyes darkened slightly. “Come here.”
He clenched Anne’s hands tightly and pulled her over. She sat directly on his strong thighs. Looking at Anthony at close range was a bit stressful.
“This belongs to you, and others don’t have this treatment,” Anthony said.
His hot breath sprayed on her small face and even brushed over her small mouth.
Anne lowered her eyes slightly. Even if someone else got this treatment, she would not know about it…
She could not get over the matter between Anthony and Bianca.
It was like a thorn in her heart, and when she thought about it, the thorn would go inside deeper, which was extremely uncomfortable.
“Does it still hurt?” Anthony’s hands fell on her waist and hips. His voice was hoarse.
Anne knew what he was referring to, and the pain in her memory suddenly came to life, making her shiver uncontrollably.
“It hurts?”
“It’s not over yet.” Anne was very afraid of what Anthony would do to her.
She fell asleep with tension every night when they shared the same bed.
Anthony covered her limp mouth and said softly, “I won’t touch you. I’m not such a beast.”
Anne kept silent, closed her eyes, and acted like a person who did not speak, hear or
see.
Letting him kiss her and attack her little by little made her extremely uneasy.
At the meeting in the afternoon, Anne listened to the department leaders reporting the order status of the new factory and said that there are several hospitals in Luton that were in collaboration.
Anne knew that the business was so good, but she could not take credit for it. Instead, Anthony was masterful at playing the business game.
As soon as someone inquired and they knew that this was Mrs. Marwood’s company, the orders would fly in by themselves.
“There is a company I want to cooperate with. I have cooperated with Mr. Faye before, but there is something wrong… By the way, it was Pinnacle Academy’s principal who made the connection. It seems that it was bad.”
“It’s normal. The competitiveness of hospitals is quite strong.”
“I heard that someone is messing with Pinnacle, and even that hospital is out of luck.”
“What’s the relationship between schools and hospitals?”
“You don’t know? It seems that Pinnacle’s students have food poisoning. They went to that hospital and said that the hospital didn’t treat them well, and some students were in the intensive care unit.”
Anne’s eyelids twitched. “Why didn’t I see the news?”
“Ms. Vallois, you probably don’t know because this matter needs to be suppressed. Otherwise, it will be bad for both the school and the hospital.”
Ken swiped the computer in front of him and said, “Someone leaked the news, and it immediately became the number one hot search.”
He pushed the computer in front of Anne.
Pinnacle Academy and that hospital are the first and second most searched.
Clicking them revealed all kinds of negative news.
She stared at the computer, looking distracted.
How could Lucas not be able to suppress it? Was it enough to just use some money to delete the news?
After all, things could be investigated in private, and they could be resolved as they see fit.
However, if you got it on the internet, things would get out of control.
Chapter 1139
After Anne returned to the office, she concentrated on looking at the various rumors on the internet.
Pinnacle Academy and the hospital were not spared, and they were all scolded miserably for being dubbed a ‘black-hearted businessman’.
Should she call Lucas to inquire about the situation?
She thought about it and decided against it.
Even if she called, how could she help?
When Anthony found out, things would only get worse.
In the afternoon, she would go to the hospital with the sales manager to discuss the cooperation with the contract.
On the way back, she happened to pass by the hospital where the accident happened.
“Let’s go to this hospital to see,” Anne said.
The sales manager thought carefully. “Now? I’m afraid they’re not prepared. Besides, being picked out by someone is not good for the company.”
“We can’t hide away just because something happened to them. Let’s see what’s
going on. If you can cooperate, then cooperate,” Anne said.
After what happened to the hospital, it was obvious that the partners were scrambling to cancel the medical orders.
After all, no one dared to be implicated in the trending search. The big companies were fine, but the small companies could not afford to be listed on the Internet for two days. It was very cruel.
After entering the hospital, Anne did not rush to find the person in charge of medical equipment but went to the emergency department.
She saw that the emergency department was overcrowded with patients.
She saw rows of students receiving infusions. It seemed that the dangerous period had not passed yet.
She knew that Pinnacle Academy was very particular about hygiene.
When she took the three little ones to Pinnacle Academy and visited the cafeteria,
they were more particular about cleanliness than some people at home.
How could there be food poisoning?
When Anne found the dean, the dean was running around in a hurry in the office, and the phone on the desk was about to explode.
After the assistant knocked on the door and went in, the dean yelled at him. After knowing who was here, the dean’s mood immediately improved. “Come in!”
Sitting down on the wooden sofa, the dean said, “I didn’t expect your company to be willing to collaborate with our hospital. Now some businesses don’t even provide the hospital with basic supplies, and many patients are directly transferred from the hospital. Can you tell me what is going on?”
“After all, we have cooperated before, and we are very clear about the dean’s character. It must be a complete misunderstanding this time,” Anne said.
“That’s right! Saving people is our utmost priority! As soon as Pinnacle Academy called, the hospital immediately sent an ambulance there. The main reason is that the two students’ symptoms were bad, and the parents were anxious. I can understand. But someone started posting lies on the internet and even took a video. Things blew up after that.”
Anne saw the video on the internet, and the parents were crying at the emergency room door while filming the video.
It was indeed understandable.
Everyone handled things differently. Some people would lose their minds and shoot randomly.
“Those two students are in the intensive care unit? Can they be cured?” Anne asked.
“They are stable at the moment. No matter what, we can’t let their conditions become worse!” The dean scratched his head anxiously.
“Don’t worry. Just tell me what you need, and I will send the medical supplies needed by the hospital.”
“It’s timely help, thank you!” The dean shook hands with her and the manager.
“Don’t mention it,” the manager said politely.
Anne withdrew her hand and asked, “Then… Do you know why the students from Pinnacle Academy were poisoned?”
“Mr. Newman is still investigating, and he is also battered.” The dean shook his head and sighed.
Coming out of the dean’s room, Anne did not expect to bump into Lucas.
Lucas helped her up, and she was slightly stunned. “Anne?”
“Principal?”
Chapter 1140
“I’m here to see the dean of the hospital,” Lucas said.
“Have you found the reason for the food poisoning?” Anne asked.
“The greens delivered were contaminated with some kind of medicine,” Lucas said.
They did not hide it. Now that this matter was all over the Internet, they could not hide it.
Anne looked at Lucas, who had been haggard after a few days, and knew that he was worried about this matter.
The gauze was still wrapped around the arm, but it was not hung around the neck.
“Is your hand okay?” Anne asked.
“It’s in a cast, no big deal,” Lucas said. He saw that Anne’s complexion was not good, and he comforted her, “Don’t worry, I will take care of the matter.”
Anne really did not know how to help him.
“After going back last time, Anthony did not make things difficult for you, did he?” Lucas asked.
“No.” Anne shook her head. His own affairs were in a mess, yet he was still worried about her, making it even more difficult for her to accept.
“You should go back!” Lucas said.
“I don’t know how to help you, but if there is anything I can help with, you must call me.” Anne knew that he had something to do, so she nodded and said.
“I know.”
Anne left.
Lucas looked at Anne’s back until she disappeared before returning to his senses in a daze.
Anne sat in the car, leaning on the seat with a headache, feeling depressed.
Pinnacle Academy’s management had always been very strict, so how could there be medicine in the greens?
No wonder students were so seriously ill.
The sales manager beside her did not say anything, acting invisible.
Anyway, Pinnacle Academy and the hospital would have to work hard to solve it.
As soon as Anne entered the office, she saw the uninvited visitor, and she immediately frowned.
Bianca not only sat on the sofa but also drank coffee as if he was there to inspect the office.
“Leonora!” Anne called out.
Leonora hurried in. “Ms. Vallois.”
“Who let her in?” Anne pointed to Bianca, who was sitting on the sofa.
Leonora was stunned. She had seen Bianca come before, so she thought it was okay.
“Don’t embarrass your assistant. I came here to tell you something about Pinnacle Academy.” Bianca was not in a hurry and not afraid of being kicked out by her. “You go out first. I want to talk to you in private, Ms. Vallois.”
Leonora did not move.
Anne did not know what Bianca was going to say or what tricks she would play, so she gave Leonora a look, and Leonora went out and closed the office door.
“I think you’re talking about how good your relationship with Anthony is again, about kissing and going to bed, right? It’s always like this. Are you interested?” Anne preemptively struck.
“So I’m here to give you a fresh one this time,” Bianca said.
Anne stood there, neither leaving nor speaking.
“Aren’t you curious about what happened to Pinnacle Academy?” Bianca asked.
Anne knew there was something she was hiding. “What do you mean?”
“Pinnacle Academy is a top educational institution in Luton. Why did their food get contaminated? Do you really think this is an accident?” Bianca seemed to feel that she was not powerful enough to speak while sitting, so she simply stood up and walked forward so that Anne-could hear more clearly. “Lucas also got in a car accident. It’s a coincidence, isn’t it?”
