Ch. 1336..1340: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1336-1340

Chapter 1336

Just then, the phone on the desk vibrated.

Anthony’s black eyes were gloomy and cold as he looked at the unfamiliar number on the screen. It showed that the call was coming from abroad.

His heartbeat began to lose its rhythm, and his eyes darkened.

He picked up the phone and answered the call. His thin lips tightly pressed together, and the veins on the back of his hands twisted from the force he was using.

“Mr. Marwood?”

The woman’s voice was not Anne’s, the one he wanted to hear.

Anthony’s dark eyes suddenly darkened, and his face was dark. “You better have a legitimate reason for making this call,” he said coldly.

“I know where Anne is. Is that a valid reason?” Joanne asked.

Anthony’s pupils constricted, and he said calmly, “Give me the address.”

“I have conditions,” Joanne said.

“Tell me,” Anthony said.

“If I tell you where Anne is, will you promise to leave the Newman house alone, especially my son Lucas? If you can’t promise that, just pretend that I never made this call,” Joanne asked.

Anthony’s eyes showed a ferocious look. “Are you negotiating conditions with me?” he said coldly.

“It’s a deal,” Joanne said.

Anthony was focused on getting Anne back and did not want to think about what would happen after that.

“Let’s talk about it first. I’ll see if I like the idea,” he said.

“My son did meet Anne. My son helped with Anne’s escape. However, Anne cried and begged my son. My son made a wrong decision because of a soft heart. I hope you can be lenient and not be too harsh on him.” Joanne tried to shift the blame for all the crimes onto Anne.

“Don’t talk so much nonsense to me! I don’t have much patience!” Anthony just wanted to know the address now and immediately get to Anne!

“The next time Lucas goes to see Anne, I’ll let your people follow him,” Joanne said.

“How did he hide from me?” Anthony asked concisely.

“My son’s study has a hidden room, and that room leads to another street. Of course, you wouldn’t find him,” Joanne said.

Anthony’s black eyes narrowed slightly with hostility. So that was how Lucas avoided him.

What a carefully planned route!

“Is that everything?” Joanne asked.

“I have two more questions. One, does Lucas have any accomplices; two, how did my wife contact your son,” Anthony asked coldly.

“I don’t know about this. I’ve told you everything I know,” Joanne said.

“Then go and find out for me. Find out before Lucas goes to see my wife,” Anthony ordered.

“But…” Joanne wanted to say something more, but Anthony hung up the phone on her.

Eason, who had been sitting beside him silently, had a sad expression on his face.

After turning on the speaker, he heard everything that Anthony had said clearly.

“Is there anyone else we can ask? It seems that the only way to get information is through Lucas. If he doesn’t say anything, what should we do?” Joanne asked.

“Anthony is asking for help from others now, so what if we can’t find out? Is he going to kill our whole family?” Eason was full of anger.

Pinnacle Academy was his life’s work, and he could not overcome this obstacle no matter what he did.

Joanne comforted him, “Don’t think that way. We can’t do anything. Now I just want the whole family to be together safely. Nothing will go wrong.”

Eason sighed heavily, and he felt very unwilling.

However, what his wife said was true.

Anthony’s power was terrifying, and even people who had lived and worked hard in Luton since he was a child could not deal with him!

During dinner in the evening, the three Newmans sat at the dining table.

 

Chapter 1337

No one spoke, and there were only slight movements during meals, as was expected of a well-bred family.

Lucas was born into such a family, exuding self-cultivation and stability.

Joanne asked how Lucas was getting along with Anne.

Lucas’s eyes narrowed slightly behind the glasses, and he seemed uncomfortable with his parents discussing this topic at the dinner table.

However, he still respected them, saying, “Very good.”

Joanne asked if Anne wanted to be with Lucas. “If she wants to and can completely forget about Anthony, we can accept her,” she said.

Lucas looked at his parents in surprise and asked, “Are you sure?”

“What other options do we have if you don’t agree to listen to us?” Eason asked gravely.

Lucas did not like it when they spoke to him as if he was a three-year-old. “She will never go back to Anthony’s side.”

“I saw on the news that Anthony’s child had an accident, but she didn’t seem to care. You don’t deserve someone as insensitive as that,” Eason spoke harshly.

Joanne noticed that Lucas looked upset, so she tried to calm him down by gently pushing his father away. After all, their focus should not be on these kinds of matters.

“Did Anne say she wants to go back?” Joanne asked.

“No, she didn’t even consider returning after leaving Luton,” Lucas replied.

“That’s good.” Joanne paused for a moment before adding, “But it’s not going to be easy for her to break free from Anthony’s control. How did you even manage to get in touch with her in the first place? Didn’t Anthony find out? I’m worried that he’ll investigate and find clues.”

“He won’t find out,” Lucas confidently stated.

“Why are you so sure? You have to be honest with us so that we can help you as your parents,” Eason inquired.

“I contacted her through people who are close to Anthony,” Lucas revealed.

“Who? Do I know them?” Joanne asked.

“I don’t know,” Lucas responded.

He had no intention of even sharing this information with his own parents.

“Is he your accomplice? Is there anyone else involved?” Joanne pressed further.

Lucas felt that his parents were scrutinizing him too closely.

Although he found it strange, he did not think too much about it because they were his family.

“No,” he answered simply.

Eason and Joanne realized that Lucas had no intention of revealing any more

information, so they decided to stop asking questions.

They knew that continuing to press him would only make him suspicious, and they did not want to risk damaging their relationship.

It was evening in their location and afternoon in Luton when Anthony received another call from Joanne. “I couldn’t get any more information out of him. He wouldn’t even say more about who it is, but he mentioned that it was someone close to you.”

“People around me…” Anthony muttered to himself.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t give you more of a hint. I’ve done my best,” Joanne apologized.

“Yes. I’ll be waiting for your call,” Anthony responded after a pause.

Before Joanne could even feel relieved, the call had already ended.

Dr. Brown walked into the office, closed the door, and as she turned around, she was shocked to see Anthony sitting in her chair.

“Mr. Marwood? Do you need something?” Dr. Brown approached him, feeling the powerful aura emanating from him, making her hair stand on end. “I just came from the intensive care unit, and the children are still sleeping and haven’t awoken yet.”

Anthony looked at her coldly, his black eyes sharp like an eagle’s and filled with a cruel intensity that could kill. “I’ve been wondering about something. Could you help me analyze how Anne and Lucas got in touch?”

Upon being asked this, Dr. Brown’s heart skipped a beat, and her face froze for a moment.

Why would Mr. Marwood asks such a question? Why would he come to her for an answer?

Did he find out about something?

Chapter 1338

“I don’t…” She started to explain that she did not understand, but Anthony interrupted her forcefully and coldly.

“You’d better think carefully before you speak, or you know what will happen.”

Dr. Brown did not dare to speak carelessly after this warning.

Her mind raced with thoughts as she tried to come up with a response.

Did he find out that she had helped Anne?

She would be courting disaster if he had found out and she still lied.

After all, Anthony never did anything without a purpose…

Dr. Brown hesitated for a long time before finally mustering the courage to say, “I helped them contact each other…”

As soon as the words left her mouth, Anthony stood up and grabbed the glass from the table.

Dr. Brown gasped as the cup shattered on her head with a loud crash.

“Ah!” she screamed and collapsed to the ground.

She felt dizzy, pale, and on the verge of fainting.

Blood trickled down her head, over her face, and dripped from her chin onto the floor.

Dr. Brown shook her head, feeling sick.

She knew that being hit like that would have caused a concussion.

Anthony did not care that Dr. Brown was a woman or that she was his personal doctor.

“As my personal doctor, do you know what you’re doing?” He sneered down at her, his face sinister and violent. “If you want to die, I can grant your wish right now!”

Although Dr. Brown was normally brave, she did not want to die.

There was no point in continuing to fight, especially not in front of Anthony.

“Mr. Marwood, Mrs. Marwood…is so pitiful. If you treated her better and did not hurt her again and again, I would not have helped her. I decided to help her escape, and she will come back for the sake of the child later.”

“Are you telling me what I should do?” Anthony breathed heavily, his eyes red.

“No, I dare not… I’m sorry, Mr. Marwood. I know I was wrong. I just hope you have mercy on me…” Dr. Brown lowered her head.

The blood on her head soaked her hair and was still dripping, but she dared not clean

it up.

“Be merciful? I give you a lot of money every year, and yet you still betray me. I want you to return all the money I gave you and disappear from my sight!”

After speaking, he opened the door and left.

The triplets hiding in the corner, watched Papa disappear into the corridor. Their little faces were full of horror.

They all heard what happened in the office just now.

They entered the office one by one, stood beside Dr. Brown, looked at the blood dripping on the ground, and asked worriedly, “Are you okay?”

Dr. Brown did not expect the children to be here. After calming down, she

immediately got up, pulled some bandages and pressed them on her head. “Why did you come here? Go back to the intensive care unit!”

Was there not a bodyguard to look after them? How did they escape?

“We came out from hiding in the car!” Charlie said.

Dr. Brown knew that they meant the cart in the operating room.

They wanted it to be more realistic, so there was a cart with medical utensils pushed in and out of the room occasionally.

They were really smart.

“Is what you said to Papa just now true? Papa hurt Mama and treated Mama terribly, so Mama left?” Their voices were full of sadness.

“That’s not the case. You heard it wrong…” Dr. Brown denied.

These affairs of adults should not concern the children.

 

Chapter 1339

“All three of us heard it,” Chris said.

This implied that while it was feasible for one of them to be mistaken, it was completely improbable for all three to be incorrect.

Dr. Brown knew that these intelligent kids were challenging to handle, so she switched the topic, saying, “My head was still bleeding, and I needed to see a doctor. I will send you back to the intensive care unit first.”

The bodyguard was taken aback when he saw the children outside, unsure of how they had escaped.

Dr. Brown’s explanation helped him grasp the situation.

Mr. Marwood finding out about such a minor error would not be ideal.

Upon entering the intensive care unit, Chloe turned to the bodyguard and said, “I need to call Papa!”

The bodyguard hesitated, as Mr. Marwood had not explicitly forbidden the children. from contacting him.

Eventually, he dialed the phone and handed it to Chloe.

“Hey, can you hear me?” Chloe held the phone to her ear like an adult.

“What’s wrong?”

“Can we go back home now? We’ve learned everything! It is not fun here at all!”

Chloe asked.

“Give the phone to the bodyguard,” Anthony said.

“Mr. Marwood.”

“Take them back to the Royal Mansion.” Anthony had already guessed that Dr. Brown had exposed him.

There was no point in keeping the child in the hospital any longer.

“Yes.” After hanging up the phone, the bodyguard put it away and said, “You can leave now.”

Later that night, the three children peeked into the study room one by one.

Anthony, who was on the phone, looked up with his black eyes and asked, “What’s the matter?”

The three children walked in and stood in a row in front of the desk, all looking serious.

“Where is Mama?” Chloe asked.

Anthony’s dark eyes became slightly darker. “Didn’t I say that she will be back once she finishes her work?”

Charlie was outraged and sounded fierce. “Mama won’t come back! You haven’t been good to Mama! Mama is gone!”

“She doesn’t want us anymore…” Tears welled up in Chris’s eyes.

Chloe and Charlie had tears in their eyes.

“Who said that?” Anthony frowned slightly, speaking coldly and menacingly.

Chloe asked, “Didn’t you tell that to Dr. Brown? We heard it!”

“We ran out of the intensive care unit!” Charlie said.

“We hid in the car!” said Chris.

The three of them explained the events that led to them running out and overhearing the conversation.

Anthony’s face was gloomy and cold, and he was trying to control his emotions. “No matter what happens, Mama will come back.”

“Why would Mama leave us? Are you bullying Mama!” Charlie pointed at him as menacingly as a kid could. “If you bully Mama, we won’t be your children anymore!”

Anthony’s face was tense, his black eyes cold. “Go back to the room.”

“Why didn’t you tell us?” Chris asked.

“Don’t make me repeat myself!” Anthony’s voice was intimidating.

The three children were too afraid to speak and started crying loudly, tears streaming down their faces.

“Papa is bad! We want Mama!”

“I’m going to find Mama!”

“We will never come back!”

Anthony’s face was extremely contorted with anger as he abruptly stood up, opened the study door, and shouted, “Take them away!”

Hayden quickly rushed over and took the three crying children away.

As soon as they left, the study door slammed shut.

Hayden dared not breathe too heavily.

Anthony stood in front of the window wall, his black eyes full of anger.

He really could not wait any longer!

‘Anne, if you dare to run away from me, you must be prepared to face the consequences!’

Chapter 1340

Mia brought over a cup of health tea.

Bianca asked her not to add the drug, but she refused to listen and kept adding it.

Bianca wanted to be Mrs. Marwood, did she not?

When Bianca left, just like Anne, she would have a chance.

She raised her hand and knocked on the door.

A roar came from inside. “Get out!”

Mia was so frightened that her hands shook and almost knocked over the teacup on the tray.

Afraid to anger him further, she left in fear.

The triplets were causing a commotion in the room, insisting on running away from home to find Mama, which was exhausting for Hayden.

Fortunately, other maids were helping him, or else he would not have been able to handle it alone.

The children did not fall asleep until midnight, exhausted.

Based on what they said while crying, Hayden probably figured out the reason.

He was unsure why Mr. and Mrs. Marwood had become like this.

They used to be a very happy family.

In his eyes, Mr. Marwood was too controlling and always wanted to completely dominate Mrs. Marwood, not giving her any breathing space.

The more he did so, the more Mrs. Marwood wanted to run away.

He did not even care about the kids…

Joanne watched as Lucas descended the stairs and asked, “Aren’t you going out today?”

It was already nine o’clock.

Usually, he had to leave by seven.

“I’m going to see Anne, and then I will be back for dinner,” Lucas said.

Joanne became nervous again when she thought of something. “Don’t go!”

Lucas looked at the hand holding his arm and asked, “Didn’t you and Dad accept Anne already?”

Joanne gradually loosened her grip, hiding her thoughts. “I accept her, but aren’t you busy with work? You should rest more.”

“It’s just as good to rest there as it is here,” Lucas said, then turned and returned to the study.

Joanne followed him and watched as Lucas opened the bookshelf cabinet, revealing a secret passage inside.

Lucas walked in, and the bookshelf cabinet slowly closed, returning to its normal appearance.

No one could tell that there was a hidden passage inside.

“He’s gone?” Eason came over and asked.

“Since Anthony agreed, he probably won’t do anything to Lucas.” Joanne was worried.

She then went to call Anthony.

Lucas left the house from a different street, drove out of the yard, and headed to his destination.

Even though he was unlikely to be discovered, he still took extra precautions and checked the rearview mirror regularly in case he was being followed.

He looked all around and saw nothing out of place.

After taking some detours, he arrived at the small house where Anne was staying.

Anne had nothing to do in the morning and went to the beach.

Sitting on the beach, looking at the distant sea, her mood was as calm as the seawater.

As she was lost in thought, a ship seemed to be approaching in the distance.

She could not help but stand up nervously and hide behind a large rock.

The boat was getting closer, and it appeared to be a yacht.

It was coming straight to the beach.

Why was there a yacht here? Thinking about what Lucas had said before, did Lucas drive the yacht over?

While wondering, she heard a voice behind her. “Anne.”

Anne turned her head and saw Lucas standing behind her. She asked him, “Is the yacht yours?”

“Do you like it?” Lucas asked, the light reflecting off his eyeglass lenses and creating a beautiful effect.

Anne asked uncertainty, “Are we really going to sea?”
