Ch. 1566..1570: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1566-1570

Chapter 1566

"She asked about Mrs. Marwood’s situation."

"Is there a need for her to get into your car to ask about this?" Corentin found it suspicious.

"She suspects you have another woman out there." Ivan, himself, also had no idea how he thought of that. Perhaps he reacted that way because he had been influenced by Mr. Marwood after being by his side for a long time.

Corentin hung up the call without saying anything else.

Why would Ashlynn think that? Was she just sensitive because she was pregnant?

Ashlynn was lying on the bed but she could not sleep at all.

She wanted to take Corentin’s side, but she did not dare to believe him so easily due to all his terrible actions in the past.

Could he have been two-faced at his core this whole time?

She would not let it show at all at that moment. Corentin would not admit it even if she asked either.

She could only question him after she looked into it and got the evidence.

Would there still be a need to question him then?

Ashlynn was truly afraid that she would find something.

She would still be carrying his children then, so what should she do?

'Corentin, I'm begging you, please, don't disappoint me and let me suffer again. Do you want to repeat what has happened in the past? This child is innocent...'

Ivan told Anthony about everything that had happened on his end.

After falling silent on the phone for a while, Anthony said, "It's a dead end again."

"Mr. Marwood, what are you suspecting?"

"It seems like someone is fooling me."

Ivan subconsciously felt he was talking about him, but he felt it was not right after giving it a thought. "Are you referring to...Corentin? But there's another thing. When I came out of Corentin's mansion, his wife, Ashlynn, got into my car. She looked like she was afraid to let Corentin find out about it. She asked me why I came looking for Corentin. I showed her the photo of the killer, and she remained silent for quite a while...Mr. Marwood, I have another incoming call. It's Ashlynn."

"Answer it."

"Yes." Ivan did not hang up the call and he directly answered Ashlynn's call. "May I help you, Mrs. Lloyd?"

"Can I ...get on a call with Mr. Marwood? Because I know the killer in the photo you captured with your phone."

Ivan was thinking that, sure enough, it was exactly like what he had guessed. "Please hold on."

Ashlynn took advantage of the time Corentin left the mansion to hide in the bathroom by herself to make this call.

This was the choice she made after she made up her mind.

She did not wish to be kept in the dark like a fool!

If Corentin truly had done some heinous things, then she absolutely could not keep the child in her belly at all!

"Go ahead." Anthony's deep voice could be heard after the line was connected.

"I've told Anne before that Corentin is Salvatore. You knew about this, right? " asked Ashlynn.

"Mm-hmm."

"The killer in the photo that Ivan showed me is Salvatore associate in the past. His name is Owen Curtis," said Ashlynn.

"There were two people who appeared that night."

"If I guessed it right, the other one is Paul Holt. If it's something important, they would always be the ones handling it. Corentin trusts them more."

"Where are they?"

Ashlynn said, "The Hungry Night Bar. I've told you everything I know, so can you tell me something as well? I want to know why Corentin is related to this business of yours. Did he do something bad? Is it related to Tommy?"

"It's unclear for the time being. I need to look into it."

"You must let me know once you've found the answer, please."

Anthony told Ivan the information.

Ivan went to The Hungry Night Bar that night itself.

He circled the place once, but he did not notice any familiar faces.

He took a seat at the bar and said, "Get me a private room and a girl to keep me accompanied." "Alright.' The bartender called for someone through the earpiece.

Very soon, a male server came over and brought Ivan to a private room.

Chapter 1567

Not long after Ivan entered the private room and sat down, a woman dressed in a sexy and alluring manner walked in.

"Hello, sir,” she greeted him, and she sat down next to Ivan in a very experienced way and poured one out for him.

Ivan accepted the alcohol and downed it in a go.

"You can really hold your alcohol, sir," praised the woman.

This was their way to survive, which was also their trick.

Ivan did not care about it. He took out his wallet, pulled out a dozen of 100- dollar bills, and gave them to her. "There'll be more if you do a good job at serving me."

The woman's eyes instantly lit up. She had never seen such a generous customer. Even the rich were nothing of this sort. They were very stingy.

"Don't worry. As long as it's a request you make, I will cooperate."

A customer like him was already giving so much before she had done anything.

If she did do something, he would be giving her plenty more!

"With just one glance, I can tell you're a very rich man, sir."

"I'm not rich. It's mainly because I can be reimbursed."

"Huh...that's quite good as well! It feels the best when you're not spending your own money!"

After having a few drinks, Ivan asked, "How's the business here? It looks like business is going very well when I come in."

"Of course! Business has always been good!"

"Do you work here permanently or do you only make guest appearances?"

"I can earn plenty more at this bar than other bars. Of course, I'll keep staying here."

"Have you been with this bar for long?" asked Ivan.

"Not that long. It's just more than a year, and that's already enough for me to buy a house with cash. It's all thanks to generous customers like you. Thank you very much."

Ivan simply listened patiently as the woman went on and on about herself and the bar.

Having this woman be picked was not bad for Ivan because she belonged to the type that could not keep anything in.

"If the business here is so good, won't the competitors come to create trouble?" asked Ivan.

"They won't dare. The boss of The Hungry Night Bar is backed up by a very powerful person."

"I'm quite familiar with Athetin. Who is so powerful?"

Tm...not too sure either. That's just what I heard." The woman's expression looked like she was hiding something at that instant. She then started to change the topic. "Is this your first time here, sir?"

"It's my first time."

"It's no wonder why you don't look familiar to me."

Ivan did not waste any time with her anymore and asked directly, "Is the name of the people managing this place Paul Holt and also Owen Curtis?"

The woman was immediately on high alert as soon as she heard it. "Huh? I’ve never heard of them. Did you get the name wrong? Our boss' name is Caine. If you're looking for him, I can ask someone to tell him."

Ivan did not say anything anymore. Instead, one gulp after another, he finished all the alcohol.

The woman was still waiting for him to say something!

Unexpectedly, after he finished the alcohol and put down the glass, he immediately pointed a gun in between the woman's eyes...

"Ah!" The woman screamed, and she immediately got to her knees. "Please spare my life, sir! I'lLapologize to you. I'm sorry! Don't kill me!"

She did not know what she had done wrong, but she had to first save her life no matter what!

Ivan asked, "Do you really think I'm asking you because I know nothing? Answer my questions one by one. With every wrong answer, I'll put a hole in your body."

The woman was trembling. She looked like she was looking for someone to help her but nobody was in sight.

The two of them were the only ones in the private room. Only the sound of people walking by outside occasionally could be heard, but they would not barge in out of a sudden.

Even if the servers were to knock on the door, they could not enter without the customer's permission.

Screaming at the top of her lungs would not work either, because how could she beat the speed of the bullet!

"Are Paul and Owen the bosses of this place?"

The woman trembled. "...Sir, I ...can tell you, but you absolutely can't say that you heard it from me. otherwise, even if I weren't killed by your gun, I will still die somewhere else."

Chapter 1568

"Don't worry. It'll be none of your business once you get out of here." Ivan indeed would kill, but he would not kill the innocent.

He would leave once he had reached his goals.

"Alright. I'll tell you..." Just as the woman was about to open her mouth and tell him everything she knew.

Someone pushed the door to the private room open and in came Caine.

When he saw the woman had a gun pointed at her, he hurriedly tried to stop him. "Gosh, sir, calm down a little. What's the matter? This woman didn't serve you properly, did she? Idiot!"

As he said that, he immediately slapped the woman on her face.

The woman let out a scream when she was slapped, but she did not dare to make a sound as she covered her face.

"Get out of here now!" Caine cursed.

The woman rushed out frantically.

Caine immediately took out a cigarette and handed it to him with a big frivolous grin on his face. "Don't mind her. The women here have been spoiled by the customers, so they might be careless sometimes. Don't worry. I'll teach her a good lesson later."

Ivan did not accept the cigarette. He knew that he could no longer continue investigating once someone else entered.

He kept his gun and scanned the surroundings of the private room.

He kept a very low profile when he came in. There were so many customers, so it was impossible that someone would have noticed him.

There was only one possibility—the private room was being monitored, and it was done without the knowledge of other people at all.

It must be something only the manager of the bar knew clearly.

It was not usual for a private room to have hidden cameras.

"Are you the boss of this place?" asked Ivan.

"Yes." Seeing that Ivan did not accept the cigarette, Caine did not mind either and simply kept it. "This is your first time here, isn't it?"

"How do you know?"

"If this is not your first, you should know that I'm the boss."

Ivan sat down. "This is such a big bar yet a boss like you needs to handle the problems personally? Also, how do you know there's trouble in the private room?"

"Well.Jt’sjust that she often offends her customers, so I hope she doesn't serve any customers on her own anymore. True enough, such a situation happened as soon as I came in. Fortunately, I came over just in time," said Caine.

"You're no longer needed here. Get out of here!" Ivan did not know if he could get anything out of this person's mouth.

He planned to look for that woman again.

He then left the bar and went to stay at a hotel not nearby.

He could see the faces of the people entering and exiting the bar clearly with the binoculars in his hands.

He did not see that woman coming out. Instead, he saw an ambulance and a police car.

Not long later, someone was carried out of the bar. The face of the person on the stretcher could not be seen clearly as it was covered with a white cloth, but he could tell it was a woman.

Ivan walked out of the hotel, went to the bar, and asked the spectators," What happened?"

"It seems like an escort from this bar suddenly died after taking some stimulants."

Ivan noticed something was not right.

He followed them to the morgue at the hospital. When he lifted the white cloth, he saw the woman's face.

It was the woman who served him earlier.

Judging from her lips that had turned purple, she indeed died of a heart attack.

The time of her death was such a coincidence, which meant something was up.

This woman was probably murdered and silenced because of him.

Ivan told Anthony about what had happened over the phone.

They believe this has something to do with Corentin.

However, they did not have any evidence.

It was no longer possible for them to investigate at the bar anymore.

They would have covered the evidence of their crime well.

Since Ivan's tracks as he was investigating at the bar have already been exposed, and he has gotten information from the escort as well, Corentin knew that he was probably already exposed.

He was so pissed that he flipped his desk in the office.

It was such a loud commotion that his secretary and assistant outside did not dare to make a sound out of fear.

He has to act like nothing has happened when he was facing Ashlynn after he had gone home.

Ashlynn was with child at that moment, so he could not afford to let any mishaps happen to her at all.

Then, did Ashlynn really go into Ivan's car purely because she suspected her husband of having another woman out there?

Chapter 1569

It has already been a long time since Ashlynn visited her family, so she mentioned it to Corentin at night.

Corentin said, 'I'll go with you."

Ashlynn originally thought Corentin would go about his own business after dropping her off.

After all, there was no safer place than her family’s mansion.

However, Corentin did not leave. He stayed to keep her accompanied.

Ashlynn asked, "Aren't you busy? I'm fine here."

Beth did not know the complexity of the matter, so she told Corentin, "I'm even more cautious than you with this child."

"Alright." Corentin got up, kissed Ashlynn's face, and said to Beth, "I'll come over for dinner tonight."

"Got it."

After Corentin left, Beth looked at Ashlynn's quiet expression and asked," You guys didn't have a fight, did you?"

"I'm pregnant. How can I fight?" said Ashlynn.

"What happened then? You look like you're not in a good mood."

"Maybe it's because I'm pregnant. I just feel lethargic."

"That's very normal. When I was pregnant with you back then, I was also feeling lethargic. Other than that, are you feeling any discomfort? Do you feel like throwing up?"

"I'm not throwing up anymore. I'm very careful with what I eat at home as well."

"That's good."

Ashlynn did not disclose that she was investigating something. That would make her family worry.

Compared to being completely alone and without support in the past, she was feeling much better than at that moment.

She did not tell her family and let them help her, but their existence already made her feel a great sense of security.

However, because she was pregnant, it was inconvenient for her to do what she wanted to do and investigate something.

She could only hope that Ivan could find something.

Ivan's clue at that moment was the man who had lost his mind that he had hidden.

It was extremely clear that it was something scary that had made him that way.

He would have a frightened expression if he was asked too many questions. He would either be asking them to not come near him or telling them that he would be obedient.

Judging from these conditions, he was probably held captive and abused by someone.

There were toxins in his blood, and his wrists and ankles showed signs that he had been bound.

If he had run away, then the person who had captured him would certainly appear.

This was the reason Ivan set up the trap.

Corentin realized he was exposed, so he would only be even more careful with his actions, and he would erase all traces that were unfavorable to him.

Anne was feeling very gloomy after she learned about it from Anthony.

Ashlynn was pregnant again at that moment. If Corentin and Tommy truly were involved together, what should she do?

"I want to pay my grandpa a visit," said Anne.

Anthony immediately understood the underlying meaning of her words." You're not allowed to go."

"How can I look into Corentin if I don't make an appearance? Also, if he has committed a crime, I hope I can convince him to turn over a new leaf.

Otherwise, what should Ashlynn do? What would happen to the child in her belly?" said Anne.

She has the ability to investigate, but she was treated like a child by Anthony.

However, he only asked the bodyguards to follow the triplets around!

Has he not gotten the priorities wrong?

"What about me? What about our children?" Anthony asked her in return.

Anne was very speechless.

Whether she was around or not, she did not have to manage the children at all! Anthony had arranged everything perfectly for all of them.

As for Anthony...

Anne wanted to reason with him. However, she just could not make a sound after she opened her mouth.

Then, she kissed those two thin lips and sucked on them gently.

Anthony's breathing got rough. He clearly knew that was her trick, but he just could not bring himself to reject her.

He was even enjoying it.

It was when Anne felt a little strained and wanted to back off that he took charge, pressed the back of her head, and turned the pecks into a deep passionate kiss.

"Mmm..." Anne's knees gave way and she sat on Anthony's solid thighs.

Chapter 1570

Anne initially wanted to use a kiss as a means to achieve her goal, but she ended up being swooned by Anthony's hug and kiss.

If it were not for her last defense of sanity stopping her, she would surely be pinned down and devoured by Anthony.

"Will you say yes?" She bit her lips and asked, panting.

Anthony's deep black eyes were lit with a burning desire. ’You want me to say yes, but your attempt is a little insincere, no?"

Anne blushed. He actually saw through her tactics.

She no longer decided to hide. "Are you going to let me go or not?" she asked while kissing the corner of Anthony's mouth seductively.

"That depends on your performance." Anthony held her face and pressed his lips against hers.

He had no willpower when he was faced with Anne's seduction.

He only wanted to make love to her to death.

Two days later, Anne boarded the helicopter toward Athethin with a sore body.

The helicopter landed on the endless meadow in front of the luxurious mansion.

From afar she saw Corentin and Ashlynn waiting in the distance.

When Anne saw Ashlynn, she went up to hug her. "I haven't been here for a longtime."

"Mm-hmm. stay for an extra couple of days this time." Ashlynn returned the hug.

"That's exactly what I have in mind."

Corentin, beside her, said, "Do you not see your uncle?"

Anne let go of Ashlynn and chuckled. "Uncle, are you actually jealous of Ash?"

"Why can't I?’ Corentin put his arm around Ashlynn. "Let's go in. Don't just stand there."

"Alright." Anne knew that Ashlynn was pregnant. When she was walking toward the living room, she looked at Ashlynn's bump. "She's not showing yet, Uncle, so you don't need to be overly worried. Otherwise, it'll be very stressful for her too. That wouldn't be good at all."

Ashlynn said, 'I'm also quite troubled by that. If he could, he would not even let me walk myself."

"That shows that he cares a lot about the child," Anne said.

"Anne, when you were pregnant with the triplets, when did your bump start showing?" Ashlynn was curious.

"About two months. When I was three months pregnant, my bump was as big as someone who is five months pregnant." Just recalling the past made Anne feel blissful.

"That sounds tough," Ashlynn said.

"It's bliss after I gave birth to them," Anne said with a smile.

"Yes." Ashlynn lowered her head and touched her still-flat abdomen.

After giving birth, she would be as blissful as Anne, right? She did not ask for much. She only hoped that Corentin would stop doing those heinous things again. That would be enough.

Returning to the living room and sitting down on the couch, Corentin asked, "Anthony is a guy with such a strong personality. How did he allow you to come here alone?"

"This isn't a dangerous place. Why can't I come?" Anne did not understand.

She came here with a legitimate reason. She knew that Ashlynn was pregnant, so she came to see her. Only by coming alone will she not let Corentin suspect her.

After saying that, Anne's expression changed. "Fine, he's very unhappy about it."

"That's more like him," Corentin said.

"You speak as if you understand him very well," Anne said reluctantly. She thought to herself that Anthony's domineering attitude was way too obvious.

"Alright, you two talk. I'll go to the study to deal with company matters," Corentin said and ordered his servants to bring some food to put on the coffee table before reminding Ashlynn to tell him if she felt uncomfortable. Then only he went to the study without any worries.

Anne looked at Corentin heading to the study. She got up and sat next to Ashlynn. She looked at her belly and touched it. "Are you having any morning sickness?"

"Initially, I started vomiting. It's a little better now," Ashlynn said.

"Was this pregnancy...an accident?’ Anne asked.

"It is, but I want to keep the child," Ashlynn replied.
