Ch. 576..580: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 576-580

Chapter 575

Anne froze at the mention that Anthony and Bianca were getting married when the issue with the children had not

been resolved yet.

"Mom, let's go!" Bianca said.

'That's it?"

"So long as I'm breathing, I won't let them get what they want!’ Bianca said before turning to leave.

Dorothy scanned Anne and Sarah and said, "Don't dream of getting Anthony to value you simply because you

gave birth to three kids!"

Sarah chuckled darkly. "Who are you talking about? No one wants that!" She turned around to scold Anne but

could not bring herself to say anything when she saw the gloomy look on Anne’s face.

'What did Anthony say?" Nigel asked.

"He said he is definitely keeping the kids, and he won't let me see them..." Anne said sorrowfully.

'Who does he think he is? You gave birth and raised those kids. What exactly did he give? Fine, you did try to hide this from him, but that's not a legitimate reason for him to keep you and the kids apart!” Sarah said in disagreement.

"Let's talk to Anthony once he's calmed down. We all need to sit down and talk about this,' Nigel said.

His elder daughter was about to get married when his younger daughter was found to be the mother of Anthony's children. Someone was bound to lose in this situation and his only fear was that even after negotiation, Anthony would still marry Bianca and refuse to give up on the children.

Dorothy and Bianca got into the car, driven by their assistant. The two were still extremely frustrated as the car left the hospital.

'If we knew that she was pregnant back then, we would have tried everything to get rid of her children instead of letting her give birth to them! " Dorothy said angrily.

Bianca sat quietly like she was frozen in time.

'What do you want to do? Are you going to call off the engagement with Anthony?"

"Impossible!" Bianca finally reacted. "I will officially become Mrs. Marwood once I marry him. By then, Anne could have given birth to more children, which wouldn't help her!"

"That's my girl. Don't get disheartened. Only the wife's children are counted, and anyone else would be nothing but

bast*rds! It's just frustrating to have three kids to share Anthony's money with!"

'They have to be capable of sharing his wealth. No parents on earth would like spoiled children, especially for

ambitious men like Anthony," Bianca said.

'So you have a plan?" Dorothy noticed something from Bianca's words.

'I'm going to be a good stepmother to them and raise them before chasing them out of the Marwood family in the

end, making sure that my children are the ones who inherit what Anthony passes down." Bianca regained her

composure as she reached a conclusion. "That's what happens in most wealthy families anyway."

Dorothy sighed. "I just wanted you to lead an easier life, unlike mine that's plagued with Sarah's presence. Who

would have known that you would suffer the same? I will always be on your side, and your dad won't stand idly by

as well."

Dorothy was confident in how much Nigel loved his children, so they did not have to worry about Anne.

Nigel would not be able to side with any one of his daughters, and as long as he remained neutral, they could

handle Sarah and Anne on their own.

Chapter 576

"By the way, you need to hurry up and get pregnant as well. Seriously, why aren't you pregnant yet? Should I take

you to a specialist?"

'I'm perfectly fine!' The car stopped in front of the mansion, and Bianca stormed into the house angrily.

Dorothy followed closely. "Bianca, we can't afford to be prideful now. Anthony has just taken Anne's triplets into his

wings, but he probably doesn't feel much for them since he wasn't there when they were born. If you get pregnant

now, your child is going to be more precious to him than those three.

’Alright!" Bianca shouted in frustration.

Startled, Dorothy quieted down.

'I will go to the hospital someday, stay out of this." Bianca narrowed her eyes viciously. ’So what if she has

children? We don't know if the kids will grow up safely yet!"

Meanwhile, at the desk in the restroom of the Archduke Group, everyone surrounded the table and appeared to be

playing a certain game.

’Write your answer on the paper, and the majority wins. The minority is buying the others coffee. No peeping!"

The manager walked in. "What are you doing?"

"Do you want to join?" The receptionist invited him.

’Sure.' A few moments later, the manager sat down with the others and wrote his answer on a memo note.

"Alright! Reveal your answer!"

Everyone flipped their memo over, and the same name was seen on all of them: Anne Vallois.

"Seriously? Does everyone have the same answer? No free coffee for US, then."

"The boys look just like Mr. Marwood, and the little girl looks like Anne, SO it's not really a hard guess."

'I thought you would be stupid enough not to notice it..."

'What? I'm going to beat you up!"

’Help!"

The manager stepped in. "Alright, quiet down. I can buy you all coffee, but don't play this kind of game again."

"Why not?"

'Isn't it obvious? Anne gave birth to the kids, so what's going to happen to Bianca? She's probably going to be their stepmother. We can't gossip about this too frequently. What should we do if we upset Bianca and Mr.

Marwood decides to fire us?"

"Honestly, I think Anne is more approachable. Bianca is pretty and elegant but just too pretentious..."

The manager scowled. "Did you not listen to what I just said? Let's change the subject. Who's going to get the coffee?"

Everyone in every position was interested in the sudden turn of events.

At the same time, the triplets were playing in the office on the top floor. There was food and toys, along with other employees to play with them.

"Are you hungry? Anything you want to eat?" The female employee's heart melted at how adorable they looked. "I wish I could give you all the world!'

"Yeah. How can they be so cute?’

"We are so lucky to be allowed to spend time with the mini versions of Mr. Marwood. I want to squeeze their

cheeks so badly."

"Must be really soft!"

Chloe nibbled on a piece of fruit. No, thank you."

"Ah! So polite! My heart!" The female employee covered her chest dramatically.

Another employee asked, ’Can you tell me who your mom is? Or maybe just a hint?"

Everyone else held their breath in anticipation.

Charlie immediately said, "Anne! Anne Vallois is our mama!" Before going back to his biscuit.

The others immediately felt like the mystery was resolved.

'I knew it was her!"

"Yeah, you look exactly like your mom!"

"Mm-hm! I look exactly like Mama!" Chloe took it as a compliment, as she was the only one who looked like Anne.

Chapter 577

Her brothers did not look much like Anne.

The female employee beamed at how adorable their voices were. "Can I squeeze your cheeks? Any one of you

would do..." She was just dying to pinch their cheeks, as she already knew they were going to be soft to the touch.

Just then, the office door flew open, and Anthony came back from his meeting.

The employees immediately bowed their heads and left, not daring to overstay their welcome.

"Who gave you all these snacks?" Anthony glanced through the fruits and biscuits on the desk, concerned that the

triplets might not be able to eat their lunch.

Chloe stepped on the chair and reached out to him. "Papa, eat this.”

’I don't eat sweets..." He opened his mouth and accepted the biscuit.

Charlie walked over and looked up at Anthony. "Papa, are we not going to school?"

"No." The look in Anthony’s eyes darkened.

"Why not? Everyone else goes to school!" Charlie questioned in confusion.

The others go to school because they don't have anyone to take care of them. Think back and see if your mom did it for that reason.” Anthony lifted Chloe off the chair and sat down. "Don't stand somewhere that high up when I'm not around, okay?"

"Oh!" Chloe pouted.

Charlie and Chris considered Anthony's words and realized that Anne was too busy balancing work and taking care of them and had sent them to school because of that.

"Um... Can we go play with Daddy?"

Anthony's expression darkened. "Who's your daddy?"

"Our principal!" Chris explained.

"Who told you to call him that?" Anthony narrowed his eyes dangerously at the thought that Anne might be the one who told them to call Lucas 'Daddy '. "Daddy means the same thing as Papa. I am the only one who you should address that way."

The triplets still seemed rather confused.

Anthony glanced at the snacks on the table and asked, "Are you still hungry for lunch?"

"I want barbeque!" Chloe raised her arms.

"Barbeque!"

"I want barbeque too!"

'Guess they got this from their mother,' Anthony thought to himself calmly.

Though he would never go to a barbeque restaurant, Anthony took them to one in the end.

He had chosen a five-star restaurant and reserved the entire place so that the place would not be as cramped.

"Papa, let's eat here from now on!" Chloe said.

is it good?" Anthony asked.

"It's good, but this place has no business. They are probably closing down soon! If we come here more often, they

won't close down!" Chloe said innocently.

"Sure. Go on," Anthony agreed.

Charlie shoved a piece of meat into Chloe's mouth. "This tastes nice. Try!"

Chloe chewed on it and swallowed.

Charlie studied her expression excitedly. "It tastes nice, right?"

"Yeah! You should eat, too!" Chloe wiggled her feet under the table cheerfully.

"Don't just eat. Have some soup, too." Chris got up to pour her a bowl of soup.

Though they were triplets, Chloe had always been taken care of by her brothers.

Chapter 578

Anthony observed them in silence, realizing that they did not need his help at all, which meant that it must not have

been too hard for Anne to care for them.

Had Anne not hidden the children away from him, he would have discovered them a long time ago. If the triplets

did not find him, he would still be in the dark, and the thought itself filled Anthony's mind with the urge to strangle

Anne to death.

Not having the mood to work, Bianca went to the Royal Mansion in the afternoon.

The triplets had just woken up from their nap, and Bianca spotted them by the piano as soon as she stepped into

the living room.

Charlie sat on the chair while Chris and Chloe played with the keys happily.

Bianca's expression darkened.

Anthony had bought the piano from overseas for her sake, and it had cost a large sum of money. It somehow felt

like an insult to Anthony's effort to let the children play with it.

’Don't play with this." She walked over and closed the cover of the piano.

The triplets never really liked Bianca to begin with and were all upset that she had stopped them from playing the piano.

"Why not? I want to play!" Charlie yelled.

'This is Papa's piano!" Chloe said.

'We don't welcome you here!" Chris added.

Hayden hurried over. "What is it? What happened?"

'This bad woman doesn't let US play with the piano!" Charlie pointed at Bianca with his plastic knife.

"Huh? Um..." Hayden glanced at Bianca with a troubled expression.

Suppressing her anger, Bianca smiled gently. "Why won't I let them? Your

dad bought this for me, but you can play with it. It's fine." She opened the cover of the piano. "Go on!"

Charlie had completely lost the urge to play with it.

Bianca chuckled. "I'm an expert in playing piano. Do you want me to teach you? There was once a famous actor who came to ask that I tutor his child, but I rejected him. Piano produces the most wonderful melody.’

"Are you good at playing piano?" Chloe asked.

"Of course. Do you want to listen to it? Alright, let me play you a song. Maybe a theme song of a cartoon you like, okay?"

The triplets started playing with Bianca while Anne lay in her bed, wondering what her children were doing, whether they would be used to living in the Royal Mansion, and whether they would cry, looking for her.

They were only children and could not fend for themselves.

Suddenly, her phone on the nightstand rang.

She grabbed it and unlocked it to find a photo sent by Bianca.

She sat up anxiously as she saw Chloe sitting on a chair as Bianca taught her how to play piano while Chris and

Charlie stood beside them to watch.

Everything looked so harmonious, and there was not any sign of sadness on her children's faces.

Anne had never imagined that she would see them in such a way and instantly fell into the depth of her own

insecurity.

A call came in from Bianca.

Anne answered and heard Bianca's smug voice from the other end of the line. "You saw the photo, right? I'm

teaching the triplets how to play piano. They are having the best time."

'Bianca, what are you trying to do? What are you trying to achieve?" Anne questioned as she tried to reel in her

emotions.

"I know I can't change the fact that Anthony has three children, so I decided that I would be a great stepmother to

them and raise them as my own. What else could I do? I love Anthony, and so, I have to love his

children as well."

Chapter 579

"You can't possibly be doing that out of the kindness of your heart, can you? " Anne could not accept to think of the

triplets calling someone else their mother, not to mention when it was a vicious woman like Bianca.

"Anne, you only think of people badly because you are a horrible person. No matter what, I'm their aunt by blood. I

won't hurt them, so you should rest in the hospital. Don't worry. I will take care of the children!" Bianca said.

’Bianca, you..." Before Anne could finish, Bianca hung up, and Anne immediately tried to call her back.

Bianca stared at her phone and rejected the phone call with a smug smile. From now on, she would be the perfect

stepmother so that Anne would get nothing in the end.

There could not be any issue between her and Anthony before they officially got married. No one could be

Anthony's wife but her.

Anne tossed her phone aside, unable to remain calm.

'What should I do? Are my children going to belong to Anthony and Bianca now? Will Anthony really do that?

That's right. The triplets are his children, and once he marries Bianca, she will naturally become their mother! It's

not odd anywhere in the world. I've given birth to them and raised them. Why should I have to hand them over?'

she thought.

This had been the reason why she had hidden the children away from Anthony.

Had she not been in the plane crash, the existence of her children would have remained a secret.

Sarah walked into the ward and was startled when she saw Anne sinking her head into her palms. "What's wrong? Are you sick?"

Anne recovered and shook her head. "No..."

Seeing that she did not seem ill, Sarah asked, "Is it because of the kids?"

Anne nodded.

'You are the mother of those kids. There's no denying that. "So what if Anthony took them? The triplets might not be willing to be with him!" Sarah said confidently.

Feeling hopeful, Anne started wondering if Anthony would listen to the triplets if they insisted on being with their mother.

"It's not that easy for Bianca to replace you as their mother. Don't worry. I am right here for you. I won't let them bully, even if it costs me my life!" Sarah said.

"Mom..." Anne did not want Sarah to say such a thing.

"Alright, alright. I'm just saying. I won't die."

Sarah called Nigel when she left the hospital. "I’m going to see the children. Do you want to come with me?"

"I'm just about to go there." Nigel had already been to the Royal Mansion in the morning after leaving the hospital. However, the children were not at home because Anthony had taken them to the Archduke Group, so Nigel went home.

'Will you come and pick me up?"

Nigel's car arrived at the hospital to pick Sarah up.

Sarah planted a kiss on his lips as soon as she got into the car, and the driver immediately turned away from the

rearview mirror.

Feeling awkward, Nigel turned away, but Sarah did not care at all and thought to herself, 'Let them see. I wish that

Dorothy could see this, too. That trash of a gold digger.'

Along the way, she yawned and leaned against Nigel's shoulder. "This feels just as safe and comfortable as it did

before."

Nigel did not have the heart to push her away and turned to look outside the window.

The car arrived at the Royal Mansion, which was the first time Sarah had visited this place.

She used to wonder who lived in such an exquisite and luxurious palace and even felt envious of the mistress of

the owner before.

Chapter 580

However, when she found out that the mansion belonged to Anthony, all jealousy she felt toward the owner of the

Royal Mansion faded. She still had her own pride, after all.

Even as she was standing before the mansion, she could not help but stare. As soon as they were inside the living

room, they spotted two boys and a girl near the couch; Sarah and Nigel had ignored Bianca's presence.

The boys looked exactly like Anthony, while the girl was an exact replica of Anne.

Sarah's eyes reddened.

The triplets were looking at the entrance of the living room. Their doe-like eyes were filled with curiosity as though

they were wondering who had just walked in.

Nigel could not tear his eyes away from them. Hearing about the triplets and actually meeting them in real life was

completely different. One would need to be sharp to notice the girl's resemblance to Anne.

"My god...” Sarah covered her mouth and finally realized that Bianca was braiding Chloe's hair. She narrowed her

eyes and pulled Chloe toward her before crouching down. She then proceeded to pull Chris and Charlie over to

scan them up and down. "You all look so beautiful. How is that possible... You must be Chloe, right? Are you

Charlie? And you are Chris, am I right?"

"Who are you?" Chloe asked curiously. 1

"I'm your grandma, and this is your grandpa," Sarah introduced herself and Nigel.

Bianca rolled her eyes at how shameless Sarah was.

Nigel crouched down and whispered gently, "Can Grandpa give you a hug?"

Sarah said, "You can't do that right off the bat. They might get scared."

Nigel immediately held back, not daring to move. If they started crying, it would break his heart. "Okay, I won't. Don't be afraid."

Worried that the children might be confused, Sarah explained, "Grandma is Mama's Mama, and Grandpa is Mama's Papa. Do you understand?"

"But Mama's Mama is dead!" Charlie said.

"I know who you are talking about. That person doesn't count because I'm your Mama's real Mama. It must have been hard for your Mama to raise you three to be such wonderful kids."

"Do you know when Mama will be back? I miss her..." Chloe pouted.

"Tomorrow. She'll be back tomorrow." Sarah knew better than to mention that she was in the hospital.

"Tomorrow?" The triplets' eyes lit up.

"Yay!"

"Mama is coming back!"

"Are you done? Can you leave now? This isn't a place where you can come in and out freely!" Bianca said unwelcomingly.

Sarah stood up. "Trying to scare me? Do you think I would cower? I won't, even if Anthony is standing right there! I might have been scared of him before, but I'm not anymore. Do you know why? It is because of these kids! Why don't you run home to your mom and ask her how important children are?"

"Sarah..." Nigel took her hand and whispered, "Don't say such a thing in front of the kids."

Sarah calmed down. "I'm here for the kids, not to argue with you."

Bianca glared at Nigel. "Dad, you brought her here, right? Are you trying to provoke me on purpose?"

"I didn't know you were here," he said.

"This is my home. Whether I'm here or not, you shouldn't bring a known homewrecker into my house. What would Anthony say if he found out?" Bianca did not care that the children were listening to them.

Nigel scowled. "Bianca!"

"Am I wrong? You are a known homewrecker who did nothing but seduce other people's men. What gives you the right to come and tell the kids you are their grandmother?" Bianca ran her mouth without a care.

"Why you!" Sarah turned to look at Nigel before complaining sweetly, "Look at your daughter and listen to what she’s saying in front of the kids!”

Bianca clenched her fists at the sight until her nails were digging into her palms. "Flirt somewhere else! Chloe, come on. We were halfway through braiding your hair. Let's continue."

"Oh, okay." Chloe leaped over.

Sarah widened her eyes in disbelief when she saw Chloe standing obediently for Bianca to braid her hair. Had she not been concerned that she would scare the children, she would have gone over to pull them apart.

"I'm close with the triplets now. They like me. Once Anthony and I get married, they will be my children as well,"

Bianca said gently.

"What a joke. You can't give birth to your own and shamelessly try to take someone else's kids! I won't allow this!"

Sarah's chest heaved at Bianca's words.

Nigel took Sarah's hand. "Let's go back."

"Why? I haven't gotten to build a bond with the kids! You, too! You are their grandfather!" Sarah asked in agitation.

Nigel felt more and more drawn to the children as he watched them, which was exactly the reason why he didn't

want to scare them.

"Let's go." Nigel pulled Sarah away.

"My Darlings, Grandma will go for now. I'll come to see you again!"

The triplets stared at Sarah, who was waving as she left, and wondered if she was truly their grandmother. Their

mother had never mentioned her before, but they soon realized that all they needed to do was ask Anne when

they saw her.

Back inside the car, Sarah asked, "How are we going to resolve this? I won't forgive you if you side with Bianca to

bully my Anne!" She pinched him on the arm.

He immediately stopped her. "Let's pick a time to sit down and talk. We need to make sure that Anne isn't bullied.

What Anthony is doing right now definitely isn't right."

Sarah pulled her arm back and pouted. "This is so strange. Bianca has only known the triplets for a few days. How

are they already that close?"

"They are still just two years old, after all. What do they know?" Nigel said, which reminded Sarah of something

important.

If they handed such young children over to be raised by Bianca, they would soon forget about their own mother.

Sarah did not go to the hospital, nor did she mention to Anne that she had been to the Royal Mansion to avoid

upsetting Anne, especially when she herself was frustrated.
