Ch. 1371..1375: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1371-1375
Chapter 1371
A drop of tear fell from his eye and landed in his palm.
He looked at it blankly as though looking at Anne, who was trapped within his palm.
He could not believe it, and his eyes glared so forcefully that they would pop.
‘How could you die?’
‘How could you leave my side without my permission?’
‘I don’t agree, I will find you!’
‘I will!’
However, after a month, the entire ocean area was flipped all over, and various divers went into the water, but they still did not find the person who brought Anne away or Anne herself.
The scene of the helicopter exploding was replaying again and again in Anthony’s mind, ripping his brain nerves apart and hurting him so much that he fainted.
The people at the scene were shocked and sent him to the hospital.
Kathryn almost could not recognize him when she saw Anthony passed out.
His clothes were untidy, and his stubble was showing.
Even though he still had a strong aura around him, he looked severely injured.
She only understood the situation after speaking to Ivan.
Kathryn stood blankly in her spot for a long while before she regained herself again.
Who did this?
Was Anne still unable to escape from such a fate?
She was either being tortured when staying by Anthony’s side or being killed by someone.
Anne’s accident was a heavy blow to Anthony, and that was why he fainted.
Plus, as the toxins in his body eventually cleared up, his real emotions would soon take over him like a
tsunami.
However, she believed that Anthony would get out of it soon enough.
After all, he had three kids to take care of.
Kathryn sighed. She felt bad as this was a tragedy.
Right now, Anne was screaming in her heart, yes, this was indeed a tragedy!
She might as well be dead!
She knew she had bad physical fitness since her school days.
She did not expect to be intensively trained here. They even had to hug a log in the sea while doing sit- ups. It was almost like navy training.
Finally, at night, Anne returned to her bed, feeling very much dead.
This habit continued for almost a month, and Anne finally felt that she was starting to get familiar with the feeling.
She looked at Yuri, the woman who spoke to her first.
She came from a poor family. Her parents were divorced, and she was living with her grandparents, but her grandparents passed away, leaving her left alone. She had to make her own living.
She worked in a bar.
She was caught stealing someone else’s money and was terribly beaten up in the alley.
Then, a woman in black appeared to make a trade with her.
So, she had the money to keep herself alive, but she also ended up here.
This batch of people only arrived two days before Anne did.
“Do you regret it?” Anne asked her.
“No, because I won’t die of hunger. Plus, the person who lives will have unimaginable wealth,” Yuri said, then her eyes were determined.
Anne then remembered that there could only be one alive in the end among the tens of women here.
If it were Yuri, she would be dead.
This was not something too hard to understand, and she would definitely be the one that was dead.
Yuri was an ace in this competition, and she had better stamina than most of the other people.
“What was your trade before coming here?” Yuri looked at the scar on her face and was curious.
Chapter 1372
Anne’s heart sank. “I did not have a trade. I was abducted here.”
“That is impossible. Everyone came here voluntarily.” Yuri observed her appearance and mannerisms. Obviously she did not look like she belonged here.
Every other woman here was ranked subpar in terms of their appearance and their skin.
Anne, on the other hand, had smooth, silky fair skin. Even though she had been here for the training for a month, her skin was still glowing.
She looked like someone who was raised delicately and could not handle a single bit of harshness.
It was already impressive enough that she could persist for a month.
Perhaps she had a stronger mentality than everyone else?
“I was really abducted here.” Anne did not lie to her.
“Was there really nothing that you wanted?” Yuri asked
“I only want to leave,” Anne said.
The kids were still waiting at home.
She could not die.
However, there could only be one person that lived.
“If the best one lives, will all other people really die? Or are they just being eliminated, right?” Anne asked.
Yuri had yet to say anything, but the door was opened, and a few armed muscular men entered. “All out now!”
They went out and stood neatly, facing an equal number of men standing opposite to them. They were all wearing uniforms. Not sure what that was for.
Soon enough, the muscular man said, “If you want to live, you have to kill them. Otherwise, you will be killed!”
“Are you kidding me? They are men, and we are women. This is not a fair competition.”
“I had never killed anyone before. I don’t want to…”
Some people showed resistance and immense fear.
However, no one listened. One of the men came by and swiftly moved his knife across the throat of one of the women. Then, blood splattered everywhere and onto someone else’s face.
The woman died on the spot.
Anne was shocked too. Her face went pale, and she saw other women running into the woods.
She also started running.
The sky turned dark. Only the moonlight shone through, and she could faintly see the shadows of the tree branches, causing her to be emotionally stressed.
The surroundings around Anne were pitch black, like a demon’s mouth. She felt that she would die any time soon.
She held her breath. Her eyes and ears looked around guardedly.
Suddenly, she felt a slight movement in the air next to her.
Anne’s body dodged it swiftly. A light flashed across her belly. It was a knife.
She moved her body backward again to dodge it.
She had just avoided the ambush, but before she could respond, a big hand swooped in and grabbed her neck, and pinned her onto the ground forcefully.
“Uhm!”
Anne’s breathing was obstructed, and her face was full of blood.
Anne struggled. Her feet were kicking frantically on the ground.
Her desire to live made her grab mindlessly on the ground too.
Her finger touched a branch.
The man was strangling her with one hand while his other hand lifted the knife.
The cold blade flashed before Anne’s eyes.
Just when the knife was about to land in her face, Anne’s hand grabbed the branch and forcefully stabbed it into the man’s temple.
“Ugh!” The man’s body spasmed and collapsed onto Anne’s body.
His hand on Anne’s throat loosened, and Anne was gulping for air.
She almost… died.
After that, the fear of murdering crept through her entire body.
She had a nightmare that night. “Ah! Blood! Someone died!”
Chapter 1373
Yuri sat up. “Are you alright?”
Anne turned around and looked at her shakily. “I killed someone…”
“Everyone who lived tonight had already killed someone,” Yuri said calmly.
Anne noticed that half of the beds in the dorm were empty. Those women were all killed.
After they came back, they all carried a killing vibe that did not exist before.
The next day, they continued with the training.
As the muscular man stepped onto Anne in the water, he received orders in his earphone. He then released Anne, who was half dead.
Anne was drenched and almost died because of suffocation.
She was dragged away like a bag of cement.
Yuri watched as Anne was taken away, clueless about what that was all about.
Anne changed into clean clothes again. It was a gorgeous-looking gown. She looked demure and beautiful, unlike her original look of a mess.
She sat in front of the dining table decorated with candle lights, looking very confused.
Soon, a black-robed man came in. He was still wearing a mask on his face, except that he revealed half his face below his nostrils. The lines of his jaw and Adam’s apple looked chiseled.
He sat down in the seat opposite hers.
The black-robed man asked, “This is the dinner that I prepared for you. Do you like it? You have not had good food in a month, have you?”
“Do you understand why I am here? Each of them has its own strengths. What is mine? The courage to kill Lilian? That was an accident! I don’t belong here. Let me go!” Anne asked.
“That’s enough. That’s why you are… special to me,” the black-robed man said. He took the glass in front of him and took a sip of wine. His expression could not be seen, but he looked satisfied. He looked to the front and said, “Don’t you want to taste this? Each sip is worth thousands.”
Anne had already seen all kinds of expensive things in the world while staying by Anthony’s side. This was not going to impress her.
“Aren’t you happy to leave Anthony? See, you have been separated from him for almost a month now. This is the freedom that you have never enjoyed, isn’t it?”
Anne was annoyed. “I don’t want to kill people! I have killed someone. Do you know that?”
“It is common to kill people here. You will get used to it. Plus, you have won by sitting here well and alive to enjoy good food with me.”
“When will you let me go?”
“When you become the champion.”
“No way!” Anne had never expected herself to do that.
“You need to believe in yourself. I have never been wrong about people.”
Anne remembered Yuri and the other people.
No matter what, after living together for a month, she had developed connections with them. “If I get first place, what about other people? Will you let them go?”
“We don’t talk about feelings here. Everyone around you is your enemy. If you don’t kill them, they will kill you. Let’s eat.”
“I don’t want to eat.” Anne refused.
The man in front of her definitely did not have a heart.
He treated lives like toys, which was disgusting.
“If you don’t eat, I will kill Yuri right now.”
Anne was stunned and looked at him in disbelief.
“I know about everything that happens here. So, don’t you play tricks on me?” The black-robed man reminded her.
Anne had to lift her cutlery and start with the feast in front of her.
“You have to train for another two weeks, and you will have one more test.”
“You will not tell me about the test, will you?” Anne did not think that he would be kind enough to tip her off.
The black-robed man’s lips curved slightly like a faint smile. “You don’t have to go back to the dorm tonight. You will spend the night here.”
Anne was brought to a luxurious room in the only mansion on the whole island.
Who would think that there would be a secret assassination organization hiding on this island?
She felt as though the sea water smelled like blood.
She stood on the balcony, looking into afar.
She was in no mood to enjoy the view of the sunset. She wondered why the black-robed man had arranged for her to sleep here.
Chapter 1374
She had thought more traps would await her, but she slept through the night.
The people in black robes were right. She had never been this free.
Whenever she tried to escape, Anthony would always find her and drag her back.
She wondered if Anthony was still searching for her after a month.
‘After some time, maybe he will forget about me. If I really manage to get out of here, maybe I won’t have to be scared of him anymore…’ she thought.
In the morning at the Royal Mansion, Hayden went to check on the children, and the maid was dressing them.
Breakfast and everything else was ready.
As he walked past the master bedroom, he noticed that the door was not shut, and sunlight came shining through the gap. Hayden knocked on the door and asked, “Mr. Marwood, are you awake?”
There was no response.
‘Did he not come home at all last night? That’s not possible! He did come home,’ Hayden thought.
Ever since what happened to Anne, Anthony’s appeared to have lost his soul and simply wandered around the Royal Mansion purposelessly; ignoring his children’s pleas to see their mother, he seemed to have trapped himself within his own world without a care for anything around him.
Hayden had never seen Anthony this way. Even when Anne tried to escape before, Anthony would simply be enraged and would do anything to find her. However, after a month, Anthony seemed to have
lost his voice altogether.
Despair loomed over the Royal Mansion and likely wherever Anthony went.
Hayden knocked on the door. “Mr. Marwood, are you awake?”
Still, there was no response.
He pushed the door open, unsettled by the silence as he walked into the bedroom. “Mr. Marwood…”
He came to a sudden halt when he saw the unmoving figure on the couch.
Anthony sat on the couch in the same outfit he had worn the day before, and the sheets on the bed were completely untouched.
Hayden’s eyes widened in shock. “Mr. Marwood, your hair…”
Anthony looked up dazedly. “… What?” He turned to look into the mirror behind him and noticed that his hair had turned gray. 1
Hayden gaped. “Mr. Marwood, what… What is going on? How could this…”
How devastated could one be for their hair to grow gray overnight?
Anthony went and stared at his reflection for a while with bloodshot eyes before looking away.
“Mr. Marwood, I… I will get you some hair dye.”
“It’s fine,” Anthony muttered emotionlessly.
Hayden stilled and thought, ‘It’s fine? So he’s just going to walk around looking like that?’
“How could she die? How dare she…”
Hayden contemplated on how he could offer consolation but instantly lost all ability to think altogether when he saw the tears scrolling down Anthony’s eyes.
Anthony was crying.
“Where should I go to search for her?” Anthony asked, desperately wishing that someone would give him
an answer.
“My condolences, Mr. Marwood, but for the sake of the triplets…”
“Condolences?” Anthony repeated before bursting into hysterical laughter. “I hurt her and didn’t even hold back. How could I…”
Chapter 1375
“Mr Marwood, it wasn’t your fault Mia drugged you,” Hayden said
Anthony remained silent, unable to say a word through the piercing pain in his chest, and could simply breathe heavily to ease the pain.
Anthony fell forward and landed on his knees, barely supporting himself with a trembling arm on the coffee table next to him.
“Mr Marwood!”
Hayden went to help him up, but Anthony shoved him aside and shouted hoarsely, “Don’t touch me!”
“Mr Marwood, you need a doctor I will call Kathryn..”
“No one can help me or save me I want Anne to be here. Find her!” Anthony panted in misery without a trace of his usual composure as though he had run out of hope in life.
Hayden wanted to find Anne as well and longed for her to return safely as well, but if even Anthony failed to find her, Hayden was powerless in it.
“How dare she disappear? I should have tied her up by my side so that she couldn’t get anywhere Anne… Anthony collapsed.
At the same time, the triplets ran in and were terrified when they saw their father spitting blood and collapsing onto the ground.
“Mr Marwood!” Hayden shouted.
Anne
Meanwhile, in Athetin, the man Corentin caught was barely alive, but Corentin was still confident that he would manage to obtain information from the man.
He had given strict orders to his subordinates to keep him alive; if he died, all the guards would have to
die as well.
Corentin walked out of the cell and went into his car, leaving one hand hanging out the window. He tapped his finger against the car door thoughtfully without driving away.
“Give him an opportunity to escape,” he said.
His men immediately knew what he meant.
Lilian ran before as well but did not lead Corentin to anything useful. He could only hope that his current prisoner would do better.
Corentin returned to his mansion, and Ashlynn was nowhere to be found. “Where is she?”
The butler instinctively knew who he was referring to and said, “She went out and said that she’s not coming home for dinner
“She sure is busy” Corentin narrowed his eyes darkly.
When Corentin called Ashlynn, she was with the Hiltons and chatting with Beth and Marshall.
She could not comprehend the kindness this family had directed at her at first but soon realized they
bore no other intention, and the warmth of having a family drew her toward them.
When she received the call, Ashlynn tensed and headed outside.
Beth’s expression darkened. “That must be from Corentin.”
“Little Crescent is terrified of that man,” Marshall said.
“But she said that she loves Corentin. I think there’s more to the story.” Beth was concerned because it was related to her daughter. She had just found her daughter and could not bear to share her with Corentin.
Ashlynn was merely twenty-five years old and could have depended on her mother.
Meanwhile, Ashlynn answered the call and lied, “I’m eating outside. I will go back once I’m done.”
“Are you alone?”
“Yeah, are you home?” she said.
“No. I’m in the office.”
