Ch. 1531..1535: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1531-1535

Chapter 1531

Those small pieces of broken glass seemed to be packed with lethality and could slit Anne’s throat.

The broken glass was spread out like a web, and it was impossible for Anne to dodge every single piece of them.

She simply grabbed them with her bare hand, held them in her palm, and then threw them at the assassin with force.

The assassin did not expect Anne to counterattack like that. While she was stunned, the broken glass that Anne threw stabbed her right in the neck.

Her eyes instantly widened, and she fell to the ground.

Anne felt relieved. She turned around and told the driver, “Let’s go to the hospital!”

Just as the driver was about to say something, he could not help but be stunned when his line of sight landed behind Anne.

Before he managed to warn her, Anne already reacted at the speed of light. She swiftly ducked aside, grabbed the assassin’s hand that was holding a gun, and used the broken glass in her other hand to slit the assassin’s throat.

Blood sprayed all over. The assassin was dead for good this time.

Anne looked at her shoes which were stained with blood, and she took a few steps back as she still could not get used to it. There was a kind of numbness on her face as she was at a loss.

“Mr. Marwood!” The driver called out when he saw the person who appeared on the other

side.

That made Anne regain her senses. At the same time, her face turned much paler.

When she turned around to look at the man standing not far away, which she had no clue about when he appeared, a guilty expression flashed across her face.

It was as if she had been caught doing something bad.

Anthony has seen the moment she killed a person, has he not?

Did he see a version of her that was different from the past?

How would he feel?

When she, who used to be pure, saw Anthony coming over with murderous air to him, she was very afraid…

“Are you hurt?” Anthony walked over, and his tall figure instantly enveloped her.

Her hand that was hanging by her side was wrapped in his dry and rough palm.

When Anthony saw those densely packed wounds on her palms, his expression instantly turned cold. “Get in the car.”

He domineeringly and forcefully brought Anne, who was out of it, into the car, and rushed her straight to the hospital.

Anne’s hand was still in Anthony’s palm as if it was something fragile. As Anthony stared and investigated the depths of the wounds, his gaze got gloomier and gloomier as if he had come out of hell.

“I’m fine. There’s no need to go to the hospital.” Anne’s voice was slightly hoarse.

Anthony looked up at her with his black eyes, which were so deep as if they were going to suck her in.

Anne shuddered because of his gaze, and she subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back.

“I’ll get angry if you take yourself so lightly,” said Anthony in an icy cold voice with a sense of oppressiveness. “But when I think about it, you got all of your injuries because of me, so the person who’s guilty of the most severe offenses is me.”

Anne did not expect that he would see her like that.

She said in a soft voice, “You’ve seen the way I look when I kill, haven’t you? That’s the real me…”

“What are you trying to say?” Anthony’s gaze was fixated on her, which left her nowhere to

hide.

Anne could not say it.

She had the thought of escaping.

Even if she was the one who asked the question, she was nervous at that moment as she felt she could not pick up the pieces…

She felt something tighten around her jaw. Anthony lifted her face and stared straight at her. “Do you think I’ll be scared? Anne, what I want is you. No matter what you become, my possessiveness won’t decrease even a tiny bit. You should realize this.”

Anne’s heart was beating unsteadily as she listened to Anthony’s strong words.

As expected, she has thought too much…

Just when she was in a daze, a shadow blocked her face, and she was kissed on her lips.

His breath domineeringly came onto her and entangled with hers.

She thought it was a kiss to comfort her. However, she felt a sharp pain on her lips the next second that made her grunt in pain.

Anthony let go of her after he was satisfied. “This is your punishment for being disobedient.

 

Chapter 1532

It was after Anne got her injuries on her hand bandaged at the hospital that she was allowed to go to Lucia’s ward.

In the past, to prevent unauthorized persons from coming in and out, the entire floor was not open to the public. Therefore, there were no other patients and only a few appointed doctors and nurses there.

The entire floor used to be quiet, but everyone was swamped at that moment.

The air was filled with a thick bloody smell.

A few bodyguards and also nurses not far away were cleaning the blood stains on the floor and the wall.

The bucket that was placed at the side was filled with bloody water.

Anne also saw bullet holes and scratches on the wall.

It seemed like it was not just a woman who had come here to attack Lucia. There were also other assassins…

Corentin, who had just ended a call, walked over and glanced at Anne’s hand. “You’re injured?”

As Anne looked at her hand that was bandaged and the layers of gauze that were wrapped around it, she strongly believed it was too exaggerated.

“It’s no big deal. It’s just cut from broken glass,” she said.

“Ashlynn called just now to ask if I’ve seen you. She’s very worried. It’s fine as long as you’re fine,” said Corentin, then he looked at Anthony who was next to them. “A woman ran away. The other bodies

were donated to the hospital for experimentation.”

“What about Lucia? Is she alright?” Asked Anne.

“She’s fine.”

“I’ll go see her.” Anne walked toward the ward.

At this end, Corentin told Anthony briefly about the situation there.

When Lucia saw Anne entering, she got out of bed happily, and she wanted to rush to her as if she had seen her life savior.

The bodyguard next to Anne quickly jumped out and stretched out his hand. His

expression looked icy cold and not easy to mess with.

Lucia stopped in her tracks as if she had pulled the emergency brake. After she regained her senses, she said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Anne. I was too happy when I saw you. I also forgot that I have an infectious virus on me…

”

“It’s fine.” Anne gave the bodyguard a signal. It was after the bodyguard retreated to the side that she asked Lucia, “How are you? Anthony rushed over immediately after I received your call,”

Lucia wore a shy expression on her face. “I know. Thank you both. But Anne, I really don’t want to stay in the hospital. I was scared, to begin with. I didn’t expect those people would truly want to kill me. Anne, help me…”

Her eyes welled up with tears and she looked so pitiful when she said that.

Those rotten places on her face, particularly, had a tinge of misery to them.

All of this happened because of Anne, so she could not bear to be indifferent.

“It won’t be safer to stay somewhere outside,” said Anne.

“There’s no place safer in the world than the Royal Mansion, right?” Asked Lucia, “Anne, if I wasn’t afraid, I wouldn’t have made such a rude request.”

Anne hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Alright.”

A happy and grateful smile appeared on Lucia’s face.

When she stood in front of her mansion, her expression could not help but stiffen. “Am 1 staying here? I’m not…staying at the Royal Mansion?”

“There will be bodyguards outside the mansion. If something happens, we will know it immediately. Dr. Brown’s team will follow up with your condition. Don’t worry.” Anne did not answer her question directly but comforted her.

“There were also bodyguards at the hospital, but those bad people still managed to barge in… Anne, do you hate me? I didn’t mean to be together with Mr. Marwood. He was the one who wanted me to keep him accompanied…” Lucia was very aggrieved.

Such a feeling was very uncomfortable. It was as if there was a thorn stabbing right in Anne’s heart. She said softly, “Don’t talk about this anymore in the future. Just have a proper rest here. Call me if there’s anything.”

Upon saying that, Anne turned around and left.

Lucia was so pissed that she gritted her teeth as she watched Anne’s heartless back.

It takes two to tango, does it not?

Why must she be the only one enduring all this?

Anne was truly selfish!

Chapter 1533

However, it was fortunate that her goal seemed to be half accomplished!

A twisted and vicious smile appeared in Lucia’s eyes.

The Rolls Loyce outside was waiting for her. When the bodyguard saw Anne coming, he opened the car door. Anne got in the car and left the mansion.

The car was driving on the road at a steady speed. Anne sat by the window and looked at the scenery outside that was going backward quickly. Her mind was blank as she lost the ability to think.

However, she only spaced out for a brief moment before she felt a sense of tightness on her hand, Anthony held her hand in his palm.

“What are you thinking about?”

Anne turned her face over, and she met Anthony’s black eyes and felt the strength of the hand that was holding her hand tightly, she wondered if he was feeling nervous.

“Nothing. I believe this matter will be resolved,” she said.

Anthony exerted a little bit of force with his hand and pulled her over to make her sit on his lap and sink into his arms. His voice was deep and husky. “Mm–hmm. I’m here. Don’t worry.” Anne rested her face on his solid chest and closed her eyes. She looked obedient.

Corentin and Ashlynn returned to Athetin after dinner. Tommy was still no were to be found. The assassin who attacked that day, included, seemed to have suddenly vanished into thin air.

Lucia stayed in her mansion and accepted treatments there.

Anne would always feel uncomfortable after every time she went over.

That was because the mansion was given to Lucia by Anthony. Lucia’s occasional ‘slip of the tongue‘ kept reminding her that Anthony used to have a different kind of relationship with another woman.

At the bottom of it all, she did mind it. She was just doing her best to let herself not mind it

After all, it was herself who had chosen to stay…

Anne was wandering on the street by herself. She actually hoped that Tommy would suddenly appear before her face. If this problem could be resolved sooner, she would be able to pluck off this thorn in her side.

“Anne?”

Anne was slightly dazed when she heard that familiar voice.

She suspected she had heard it wrong. When she turned around and saw the man looking at her not far away from her, she was stunned.

“It really is you. I thought I’d mistaken you for someone else.” Lucas walked over and stood in front of her.

His tall figure was still so elegant and gentle, which made her feel comfortable from the bottom of her heart.

It was just that Anne had never expected that she could still meet Lucas again. “What’s the matter? You don’t know me anymore?” Lucas asked and chuckled.

“No. Why…are you here?” Anne calmed herself down. She was surprised.

“I’m preparing to start an educational institution here. My partner thought since this is my hometown, it’s better for me to come and check the place out. I happened to be free, so I just walked around. I didn’t expect to see you,” said Lucas, then he asked, “shall we find a place to grab a cup of coffee?”

Anne also felt that it was not quite suitable for them to talk while standing in the middle of the street, so she nodded. “Alright.”

Both of them found a cafe, and they picked a spot in the corner as if they were deliberately distancing themselves away from the noisy customer.

However, they did not pick a private room.

Perhaps that showed her relationship with Lucas at that moment. They were not far apart but also not close either.

“How long will you be staying in Luton?” asked Anne.

“It depends. It’ll be a couple of days if everything goes smoothly.” Lucas was focused on Anne’s expression while talking to her. “I’ve not seen you in two years. You seemed to have changed.”

Anne smiled and subconsciously touched her face. “I can’t be that young

forever…”

“Your appearance is still exactly the same as before. There are no changes to that. What changed is your gaze. You seem to have something troubling you.” Lucas was worried. “Is he not good to you?”

“No. It’s quite good to me.” Anne was thinking that she was indeed troubled by Tianya and also Lucia’s condition, but was it that obvious?

 

Chapter 1534

Lucas knew she was not willing to talk to him about it. After all, both of them had been separated for so long.

However, he would still feel a slight discomfort deep down because of the distance between the two of them.

“The children are already four now. They’ve grown much taller, haven’t they?” Lucas changed the topic.

Speaking of the children, Anne’s expression was clearly much more relaxed. She took out her phone and scrolled to a video. “Look.”

Lucas held the phone and played the video.

The four–year–old triplets have indeed grown later. They were no longer as chubby as before anymore, but all of them looked good. They had excellent genes.

Even Lucas was envious.

Especially because the children were Anne’s. Both of them originally could also have children together…

After he finished watching the video, he handed the phone back to her with a gentle smile on his face. “I wonder if they can still recognize Daddy if I meet them.”

“They will recognize you,” said Anne, then she asked, “do you want to meet them?”

“Forget it. I won’t be able to bring myself to leave after that,” said Lucas in a considerate

manner.

Anne felt relieved. She selfishly did not wish for him and the children to meet as well.

After all, if Anthony were to find out, she would not be able to explain to him.

“Are your parents alright?” Anne asked with concern.

“They’re great. My father is also in the education business now, so he has been kept busy,”

said Lucas.

Anne lowered her gaze. She felt that she has indeed wronged too many people in this life.

Both her mothers, her father, the children…as well as Lucas.

“Would you still want it if the Pinnacle Academy could be returned to you now?”

Lucas was slightly stunned, and he just looked at her.

Anne said, “I mentioned this to Anthony in the past, and he has agreed.”

“The condition is that you and I can never be close, right?” Lucas smiled. His expression

looked cold. “No need. I despise everything that he does.”

Anne understood Lucas‘ feelings. She had deeply experienced that kind of despair in the past, much less Lucas…

“I’m sorry…” She was apologetic.

“It has nothing to do with you. You’re also a victim. There are plenty of victims who have been oppressed by Anthony.” Lucas was speaking the truth.

Anne had no way to refute him.

“Are you prepared to stay like that by Anthony’s side for the rest of your life?” Asked Lucas. His gaze was so focused as if he wanted to look into Anne’s soul.

Anne smiled helplessly. That was her giving in to fate. “He and I were already legally married two years ago. That won’t change.”

“So you’re going to live in misery?”

Anne wondered if it was miserable.

It certainly was a misery, was it not? Anthony’s every single action was affecting her sensitivity, leaving her at a loss…

Just when she wanted to disagree with Lucas, her phone on the table rang.

The screen lit up, and it was shown that it was Anthony who was calling.

An ambiguous coldness appeared on Lucas‘ face when he saw it.

“Excuse me. I’m going to get his.” Anne grabbed her phone, got up, and answered the phone at the side, “Hello.”

“Where are you?”

“I’m strolling around outside. I’ll go back soon.”

“It’s very quiet on your end.” Anthony’s deep voice was filled with suspicion.

“I got tired from walking, so I grabbed a cup of coffee at a cafe.”

“Alone?”

“Mm–hmm. I’ll go back now.” Anne did not tell him the truth. She felt that it was better to have less trouble.

“Wait for me there. I’ll go pick you up.”

“No need…” Before Anne finished her sentence, the call was forcibly ended by Anthony.

She returned to the table, and she was thinking about how she should tell Lucas that Anthony would be coming later.

Chapter 1535

Lucas saw that something was troubling her and instantly understood what was going on.

“I just remembered that I have something to take care of, so I’ll first be taking my leave.” Lucas stood up, but he stopped in his tracks as he was walking forward. As if he had just remembered something, he asked, “Could you give me your number? Perhaps I might have some matters in Luton that I would like your help with.”

It took Anne a brief moment before she said, “Oh, alright…”

Then, she gave her contact number to Lucas, and he left.

Anne was thinking that she only gave him her contact number, so it probably did not mean anything, did it?

She has always felt that she owed it to Lucas, so she could not reject him.

After that, Anne was prepared to get up and wait outside. However, she noticed the server at the cafe running to the customers at every table to tell them something. All the customers were slightly shocked when they heard what the server said, then they left the cafe.

The server apologized to the customers one by one. When he saw Anne, he walked over and asked, “Miss, do you need me to get you a fresh pot of coffee?”

Anne, who was watching all the customers leave the cafe, regained her senses when the server asked her that question. She finally understood what was going on.

It was because someone had made a block booking for the entire cafe, so they were clearing the customers out!

There was no need to ask who was the one who did it as it was evident.

A black Rolls Loyce occupied her entire field of vision from a distance, and it stopped in front of her in a domineering and mighty manner.

The car door opened and a pair of long legs stepped out of it. There was no doubt that Anthony’s appearance could make the air feel pressured. He has a mighty air to him, and he was so kingly that nobody dared to go near him.

“Why are you standing and waiting here?”

“It’s time to go pick up the children,” said Anne.

“If we pick them up every day, we’ll spoil them.” Anthony held Anne’s hand and walked into the cafe.

The owner of the cafe and the servers had never received such an eminent person who seemed so far away from them, so they welcomed him so respectfully that their backs were bent at a 90–degree angle.

They took their seats. It was still the same spot that Anne was sitting at, but she was with Anthony instead of Lucas.

It was impossible for Anne not to be nervous. It was her natural instinct to have negative emotions when facing Anthony as it was already etched in her bones.

Anthony has reserved the entire place. If he did not ask the servers at the cafe, he would not know that she was actually not alone and that the person who had coffee with her wasa man.

“Are you not happy to have coffee with him? Hmm?” Anthony poured himself a cup of coffee while staring at Anne’s face. His gaze was so sharp that it could pierce through her body.

“No.” Anne denied.

“Why didn’t you give me a call if you’re having coffee alone?”

Anne looked dazed a little and said, “Don’t you have to work?”

“How can work be more important than you?” Anthony said it very naturally, and his gaze got even more domineering.

Anne, however, felt a little awkward. She pursed her lips and mumbled, “You’re not even afraid that your company will fail.”

Anthony smiled, and he put the cup of coffee that he poured in front of her.” It won’t fail even if I were to stay at home every day.”

Anne did not doubt that. Anthony’s business acumen should never be taken lightly. He has so much capital that he could fill the ocean with it.

Even if he were to stay at home, he could also strategize, give commands, and control everything from home.

“Do you have nothing else that you want to tell me?”

Anne was dazed for a moment before her expression returned to normal. “What? I don’t have anything to tell you.”

Anthony’s black eyes stared at the coffee in his hands with a darkened gaze. He pursed his lips, then he looked toward Anne.

“…What’s the matter?”

“Nothing.”

Anne felt sheepish but she did not show it.

She thought that she should not be mentioning Lucas to avoid making past mistakes again.

That was something she was most reluctant to accept…

Both of them had coffee for an hour before leaving the cafe.

They got into the Rolls Loyce, and the car left the cafe before it was buried in the traffic in the distance.

Lucas was sitting in the car that was parked along the street.

He said he was leaving, but in fact, he did not leave.

He was watching as Anthony’s car appeared and left.
