Ch. 696..700: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 696-700
Chapter 696
“He isn’t that easily fooled, but it depends on who’s fooling him!” Bianca said sarcastically.
“You-” Sarah wanted to curse at her, but Anne interrupted her.
“I won’t give you anything.”
Dorothy and Bianca’s faces twisted in anger as they itched to tear Anne’s face apart. Bianca refused to give up and since she could only rely on Anthony, she trusted that he would side with her.
“Anthony, Anne and her mom are clearly trying to take over my inheritance. They probably plotted this from before. My mom is the wife and Sarah is nothing but a homewrecker. How could the legal wife lose to the homewrecker?” Bianca said.
Anne instinctively glanced at Anthony, as the conflicts between wives and homewreckers had always been the source of drama around them, especially because Anthony’s own mother died because of a homewrecker.
Bianca knew Anthony well enough to know what to say to provoke him.
Anthony remained expressionless as the tension raised inside the room to the point where it became harder to breath by the second.
Anne lowered her gaze helplessly, fearing that the will before them would ultimately mean nothing…
“You should respect your dad’s wishes,” Anthony said shortly after.
Stunned, Bianca gaped at him in disbelief. “Anthony, but…something is definitely wrong! I’m objecting to this because something is wrong! My dad couldn’t possibly decide to give everything he owns to an
outsider!”
“Mr. Shahl here has been clear and I trust that Mr. Faye has his reasons in doing so.” Anthony stared at Anne while consoling Bianca, “I will look into this. If something shady happened, I can still make them return everything to you.”
Everyone in the room understood that even if Anne inherited Nigel’s wealth through his will, if there was an issue, she would merely be someone who temporarily held onto the inheritance for a period of time.
Anne and Sarah had not expected Anthony to say such a thing, as both of them thought that Anthony would force them to sign another contract agreeing to give their inheritance to Dorothy and Bianca.
Robert placed the will before Anne. “If there’s no further issue, please sign here.”
Anne held the piece of paper in her hand and glanced through the words, her father’s stamp and signature, her eyes filling with tears. She could not understand why she had to accept something so heavy that she felt as though she was suffocating.
Sarah held onto Anne’s hands in consolation, feeling every bit as devastated as her daughter.
“Mr. Shahl, did Dad not tell you anything? Anything at all? Anne held her tears back and asked.
Robert thought about it and said, “Mr. Faye simply sighed and said that after working so hard all his life, he ended with nothing and his life has been meaningless. He said that he owed no one but you and your mother I guess that’s why he left you with most of his money As for why he was in a hurry to write his will, I’m guessing that has something to do with the guilt he felt for you. He couldn’t give you anything, so all he could do was leave you with the company that he had devoted his life to
Tears scrolled down Anne’s cheeks and fell onto the paper “Why would he feel guilty? I didn’t need that
Sarah wiped away her tears. “I told him before that I forgive him, that it’s fine. Why would he say such a thing?”
Dorothy and Bianca stared daggers at them.
Chapter 697
‘What is this?‘ Bianca thought. ‘Nigel didn’t even mention us at all! Forget his wife, but he didn’t even mention me? Is it because he raised me, so he feels sorry for Anne? Is that why he just gave me whatever cash he has in the bank and called it a day?‘
“Dad is going to wake up at some point, so I don’t see the point in signing this,” Anne said.
“The company needs someone to make the calls and for you to do so, you need to sign this,” Robert said.
“Just sign it first. Once your dad wakes up, you can always just give it back to him,” Sarah said, deciding that it was still better than to leave the company to Bianca.
Anne nodded, before signing her name on the paper, and handing the pen to Sarah.
Bianca and Dorothy stared at them with anger boiling in their eyes, Dorothy felt all strength draining from her and fell back to the chair.
All the hard work she had placed in her family had gone to waste.
After signing, Anne turned to Robert and asked, “You see the state Dad is in right now. Since we’ve accepted his will, does this mean that we can take care of him and stay by his side until he wakes up?”
Before Robert could answer, Bianca interfered sarcastically, “Why are you in such a hurry to take care of Dad? Are you trying to find an opportunity to kill him?”
Anne frowned. “What kind of mindset is that?”
“We can’t let you or your mom get anything near Dad. I need to ask him about the will as soon as he wakes up. I need to know what you two did to him! Once everything is clear, I’m going to send you two to jail!” Even with Anthony by her side, Bianca could no longer keep her composure.
There was nothing more humiliating and she felt that Anthony could understand how she felt.
“Who do you think you are? Anne is Nigel’s daughter as well and he loves her just as much, if not more!” Sarah spoke out.
Bianca sneered, “Yeah, a daughter out of wedlock. I doubt she’s even Dad’s daughter!”
Dorothy’s eyes instantly darted away as she kept quiet.
“What are you talking about?” Sarah’s expression darkened. “How would I not know if Nigel is the father?”
“Think about how many men you’ve been with. Can you even keep count? I remember that that guy who died was Anne’s dad as well? Maybe that’s her real father?” Bianca said, slowly calming down. “I think you are scamming my dad!”
“Bullsh*t!” Sarah jumped to her feet. “Your dad went to get a paternity test.”
“I don’t know anything about that Mom, do you?” Bianca turned and asked Dorothy.
“I don’t know either,” Dorothy said. “He didn’t say Sarah was the one who brought this up and I doubt your dad has gone to check if it’s true. “
“Let’s get another paternity test done, then!” Bianca narrowed her eyes slyly and suggested.
If she could prove that Anne was not related to Nigel, the will would be nothing more than a piece of paper.
Bianca stared at Anne, who had not responded at all. “You don’t dare to? Scared, Anne?“
Chapter 698
“| agree,” Anne said.
“That’s right. We aren’t afraid of you,” Sarah said.
Bianca turned to look at Anthony. “Let’s do the test here, in case ‘someone‘ tampers with the results.”
Both Anne and Sarah were enraged by her sarcastic tone.
“Sure,” Anthony said.
Kathryn came to draw blood from Nigel and Anne, before taking the samples for a paternity test.
Bianca glanced at Anthony darkly and said, “Anthony, I don’t feel so well, so I’m going home now. We need to wait for the results to come out, anyway. My mom and I are heading back.”
“Okay.”
Bianca and Dorothy left the room and both shot Sarah and Anne a nasty look as they walked past them.
Anthony gave Anne a look, before exiting the room as well.
“Mom, I need to go outside for a moment.” Anne followed him out and asked, “What do you want to say? You can’t actually think that me and my mom plotted for the will to be written that way, right? We literally just found out.”
“Mr. Faye went to see the kids before the accident,” he said.
Stunned by the mention of her children, her heart twisted in pain for her children, but also for her father, who had gone to visit her children.
“You can come to see the children anytime you want from now on.”
Anne’s head snapped up in shock.
She had not dared to mention about her children ever since she came back, especially after she had said to Anthony that she wanted to give up on the children and let him have them.
She had thought that there would be no way for her to take back those words, yet now, Anthony had agreed to let her see her triplets.
“Why? Did Dad say something?” Anne asked, knowing that Anthony would be so kind on his own records.
Anthony turned his cold, brooding eyes away from her without another word and left.
Shook to the core, Anne remained frozen in place at the realization that she could see her children anytime she wanted.
Whether it was because of something Nigel said or something else entirely, she had been right to resist Anthony back in the car. She never truly meant to cut all ties with her children, her true intention was to simply let Anthony know that he could no longer threaten her with the children. *
She went back to the room with joy and said, “Mom, guess what Anthony had said to me just now.”
“He is letting you see the kids.”
“How do you know?”
“I’m your mother. Sarah was not at all shocked, “I’ll stay here. Go and see the kids.”
Anne glanced at Nigel hesitantly.
Knowing that she was worried, Sarah said, “You don’t have to be there all the time, since you can see them anytime you want in the future. If you are still worried, you can buy me lunch on your way back.”
Anne nodded. “Okay.” She then left happily.
Sarah’s heart softened at how happy Anne was. She took Nigel’s hand and said, “Hurry up and wake up! Once you divorce that woman, let’s be together and live our lives in peace. We can travel around and take care of our grandchildren from time to time. Okay?”
Nigel did not respond and naturally, did not hear a word she said. Sarah did not care and continued to talk about the future and the sweet memories they shared in the past, hoping that her words would reach him one day.
Anne went into a taxi and headed straight for the Royal Mansion, wondering what her children were doing and how they would react when they saw her.
Would they be happy, or angry that she had been gone for so long?
Her heart was heavy with guilt as she realized what a horrible mother she was.
Chapter 699
All the pain was worth it in the end and she was determined to never disappear again. She would be with her children whenever they wished to see them.
As soon as she arrived and got out of the taxi, she spotted the Rolls Loyce outside of the garage, which meant that Anthony was home.
She had expected Anthony to hurry over to console Bianca.
She walked into the living room and instead of the children, she saw Hayden approaching her. “Ms. Vallois…”
“Where are the kids?” She blurted out.
Hayden smiled. “At the back. Mr. Marwood is with them.”
Anne immediately ran outside and since the Royal Mansion was enormous, it took her some time to reach the backyard. She wondered why Anthony needed a mansion this size the entire way as every second felt too long to her. By the time she arrived, she was panting and gasping for air.
However, when she saw the triplets playing on the field, she could not be bothered to look at Anthony, who was standing on the side.
“Chloe! Charlie! Chris!” She ran toward them.
The triplets were surprised for a moment and Chris let the ball Charlie passed to him roll by. When they finally realized who had called out to them, they beamed and ran toward Anne cheerfully.
“Mama!”
“Mama!”
“Mama!”
“Slow down. You are going to fall…” Anne crouched down and the triplets tackled her to the ground.
“Mama, is it really you?” Chloe held Anne’s face between her hands. “Am I dreaming?”
“Of course, it’s me.” Anne planted a kiss on her cheek.
“I want a kiss, too!”
“Me, too!”
Charlie and Chris fought to crawl up and planted kisses on Anne’s face until her entire face was covered in their saliva.
Anne chuckled and wrapped her arms around them in content. They were her treasure and
she was the happiest woman on earth whenever she had them in her arms.
Anthony observed the four from afar and Anne took a second to look at Anthony as she hugged the children, her heart sank as their eyes met.
She had said that she did not want the children any longer and it was obvious that that was not the case, so she felt like he had realized that she was trying to trick him.
“Papa said that Mama is back. He wasn’t lying!” Charlie deadpanned.
“I can’t even see you in my dreams. Thank god you are back!” Chloe pouted. “Mama, can you not go to work? We can give you Papa’s money!” Chris said.
Anne glanced at Anthony and thought to herself, “Your dad isn’t deaf. He can hear us!‘
Knowing that Anthony had heard them, she knew that she would have to correct them. “I told my boss that I’m never going on a business trip again. That way, I can make my own living. You are too young. I don’t need you to give me money.”
“Then…then can we see you more often?” Chloe asked nervously.
She nodded while looking into their eyes. “Sure, you can see me whenever you want!”
“Pinky swear!” Chloe reached out her pinky finger.
She smiled endearingly and hooked her pinky finger with theirs to reassure them. After that, Charlie grabbed one of Anne’s fingers and pulled her to the field. “Mama, play football with us. I can kick it into the net!”
“Sure!” Anne got up and allowed them to take her to the center of the field.
Charlie hurried toward the ball and kicked at it with all his might.
Despite the distance between the ball and the net, the ball went in with ease. Anne was shocked as she did not think she could be so precise herself.
Chapter 700
“Mama, you need to stop his ball! Chloe shouted.
“It doesn’t feel good if you don’t try to stop it!” Chris said.
“Huh? I need to stop it? Anne said dazedly, “Let’s start over, then?”
She went to take the ball and kicked it toward the triplets, who ran after it right away.
Chloe did not know how to play football, so she could only run after it.
Anne stood in front of the net as the goalkeeper.
“Mama, here I come!” Charlie shouted.
Anne leaped into action and kicked at the ball flying toward her and sent it away from the
net
She stared at the ball and her heart sank when she noticed that it was flying toward Anthony
Anthony stepped on the ball and stopped it.
“Papa, give it back!”
The triplets ran toward it and just when they were about to reach him, he kicked the ball away.
“Ah! My football!”
Anne pursed her lips and wondered if Anthony took her children for puppies that he could toy with; nonetheless, the way her children ran after the football was still extremely adorable.
Anthony stayed outside the field the entire time Anne was playing with the children and simply blocked the ball when it was about to be kicked out of the lines.
Time passed within a blink of an eye and Anne did not realize how long she had been there until Hayden told them that lunch was ready.
She wiped the sweat off her forehead and realized that she must be flushed like the triplets.
“You three go ahead. I need to go back now,” she said.
“Ms. Vallois, why don’t you stay with the children for lunch before leaving?” Hayden said, ‘ The food is ready and I’m sure they would be overjoyed to eat with their mother.”
“Mama, you are not eating with us?”
“I’m not eating, then!”
“Mama, don’t go!”
Anne shot Anthony a troubled glance. She wanted to stay, but it was not a decision she could make alone.
“You can leave if you don’t want to stay,” Anthony said coldly.
Worried that the children would be upset, Anne said hastily, “I want to stay! Of course, I want to stay with them for lunch!”
“Mama, let’s go!”
The three grabbed Anne’s hands and Chloe turned to grab Anthony’s hand as well, before heading inside for lunch.
Anne was slightly moved by how her children were acting, but simply lowered her gaze. The best she could do was to visit her children as frequently as possible so that when Anthony married Bianca, she could still take care of the triplets.
On the dining table…
“Mama. I’m sick. Here, here, and here…I am getting a lot of pimples!” Chloe pointed at her face, arms and neck.
“Yeah, Chloe can’t eat seafood!” Charlie said.
“We won’t eat seafood again!” Chris said.
“Remember not to eat seafood even if someone out there offers it to you,” Anne reminded them.
“We know what seafood is!” Charlie said.
“How smart!” Anne said.
Anthony’s phone vibrated and he took it out to answer the call.
“Mr. Marwood,” Kathryn said, “the result of the paternity test came back. Mr. Nigel Faye is not related to Ms. Vallois, which means that he’s not her father.”
