Ch. 711..715: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 711-715

Chapter 711

“If I knew this would happen… I wouldn’t have gone abroad. Why did I leave…” Anne was filled with regret, and warm tears welled up in her eyes.

“Who would’ve known such a thing would happen? It’s not your fault.” Sarah felt sorry for Anne and also for Nigel.

Sometimes, Sarah did not know who she should feel sorry for among the three. In truth, her own life was not easy.

As she thought about it, she realized her life was simply too harsh.

“After your dad broke up with me, I was so angry that I cursed him every day. Why did I want to suffer so much to give birth to his child while he enjoyed his life? Especially the day I gave birth to you, I was in pain the entire time, and I wanted to slap Nigel so badly… I always thought that he’d lived a very comfortable life with his daughter after he remarried. But I didn’t expect that it hadn’t been easy for him…” Sarah’s eyes were red, and the more she spoke, the sadder she became. Then, she added, “I shouldn’t have hidden my pregnancy. I regret it so much…‘

“Mom, it’s the past. Don’t think about it anymore. I guess this is our fate…” Anne looked at Nigel, who had obviously lost a lot of weight, and felt distressed. Later, she stood up and sat next to him, massaging his legs.

Sarah did not say anything. She would also massage Nigel from time to time as Kathryn advised them to massage Nigel often to prevent muscular dystrophy from lying down for long periods.

It did not matter if they did not massage Nigel now. However, Anne took the time to come over, and Sarah let her do as she wished to calm herself down, knowing that Anne was feeling terrible.

“Mom, do you want to see the children? I’ll try to tell Anthony to let them come here,” Anne said.

“Is…that okay? I really miss them, but I’m afraid he’ll become ruthless as before if you make such a request just when he allows you to meet them.” Sarah was worried.

Anne pursed her lips. “I think it should be fine. I’ll just say it’s for them to see Grandpa, and maybe Grandpa will wake up when he hears their voices?”

After having lunch with Sarah, Anne left the hospital and returned to the company. As soon as she entered the office, Ken knocked on the door and came in.

When they were done discussing the work arrangement, Ken asked, “Ms. Vallois, three female assistants will come to interview tomorrow morning. Do you want to be there in person?”

“Yes. What time?”

“I set it to be at ten o’clock. What do you think? If it’s too early or too late, I’ll change the time,” Ken said.

“No need. Ten o’clock will be fine.” Anne was recruiting a female assistant, so she naturally wanted to find one she liked. After all, they would have to be in touch all the time. Then, she thought of something and asked, “Do I have anything scheduled for the afternoon?”

“Yes, you and the sales manager will meet Mr. Kennedy at two,” Ken informed.

Anne looked at the time and thought it would be too late to find Anthony if she had to meet Mr. Kennedy at two. Even though she wanted to bring the children to meet Grandpa, she could not neglect one of the company’s important clients. Moreover, she had just become the head of the company, so she must show the attitude of a leader.

However, Mr. Kennedy was also reluctant to work together with Nigel before, not because of personal grievance but driven by interests.

Nonetheless, It was understandable as a businessman would only go wherever beneficial for them.

Now that something happened to her father, Mr. Kennedy would be even more reluctant to cooperate. If Anne could not persuade Mr. Kennedy, it would simply be too unfortunate to lose such an important client…

“Ms. Vallois, is there something wrong?” Ken asked when he noticed that Anne was in a daze.

Chapter 712

“Nothing. Tell me about this Mr. Kennedy,” Anne said, “I want to know more.”

“Okay.” Ken began to talk to Anne about Lionel Kennedy’s various hobbies.

After Ken left, Anne took out her phone and called Anthony. No matter what, it was better to contact him first.

The phone rang a few times before Anthony answered, and Anne asked, “Master, are you busy?”

“Calling me ‘Master‘? You must have something to ask me.” Anthony’s deep voice sounded.

Anne tried her best to be as demure as possible. “Yes. Can you let the children visit Grandpa in the ward? I think he might wake up when he hears their voices. This request… isn’t too much, right?”

Anthony did not answer, making Anne somewhat anxious.

He would allow it, right?

Or did Anthony disagree because Sarah was there?

At this point, was Anthony still holding grudges for Sarah’s mistakes?

“Pick them up in the afternoon?”

Did it mean he agreed to it? Anne quickly sat straight but soon recalled that she had something scheduled in the afternoon, so she said, “I have an appointment with a client in the afternoon. How about picking them up in the evening? I’ll be there earlier.”

“What client?”

“The company’s client…” How was Anne supposed to explain this to him?

“Got it.”

Before Anne could say more, Anthony directly hung up the call, extremely domineering. However, she was relieved since Anthony had agreed. Fortunately, he did not say that

Sarah could not be there.

Anne arrived at the golf course ahead of time.

Lionel was late and only arrived after 2 p.m.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Kennedy,” Anne greeted, “I am Anne, Nigel’s daughter.”

“I heard about it. What a pity. I didn’t expect Mr. Faye would get involved in an accident.” Lionel was about the same age as Nigel, and he seemed young and energetic.

“Yes, accidents are unpredictable.” Anne was slightly melancholy, but the feeling did not last long. Then, she quickly smiled and added, “Thank you for having him in your thoughts, Mr. Kennedy.”

“But I remember that Mr. Faye’s daughter is a pianist?” Lionel asked his accompanying subordinates and then Anne, “Are you that pianist?”

“My dad has two daughters, the eldest is the pianist, and I’m the youngest.”

“What a shame. Nigel is so smart and capable, but he doesn’t have a son to inherit the family business,” Lionel said, “but I’m not here today to discuss business with a little girl, so we have nothing to talk about.”

The meaning was obvious, he came to golf to pass his time.

Anne did not take what he said to heart, and she did not immediately refute him. Instead, she politely replied, “I’m indeed still young and need more experience. I heard that Mr. Kennedy has twins–a boy and a girl. What a wonderful blessing.”

Lionel was happy when he heard about his twins, but he said indifferently, “It’s nothing!”

“Mr. Kennedy, your daughter should be about my age, right?” Anne asked, “It’s perfectly normal for a son to inherit his father’s career. In the future, your son and daughter will definitely be admirable businessmen, and it’ll be a natural course for your little girl to deal with businesses.”

Lionel, who was about to leave and ignore Anne, could not help but stop in his tracks. Then, he looked back at Anne and suddenly changed his mind. “Can you play golf?”

Anne knew that Lionel was giving herself a chance and said, “Compared with Mr. Kennedy,

I only know how to play ‘a little‘. I hope you’ll go easy on me.”

“Hahahaha, I like your character!” Lionel waved his hand. “Come on, let’s play golf!”

Chapter 713

Anne used to play golf as a major sport at Cambrick. Hence, she knew how to golf, but certainly not as well as Lionel, who often played the sport.

Nonetheless, Anne still bit the bullet and played along with Lionel for the company’s sake. Without a doubt, Anne was badly defeated.

After a few rounds, Anne was completely humiliated.

“Hahaha. Even though you lost, you played well. You’re a smart girl,” said Lionel, “although Mr. Faye doesn’t have a son, you’re a great daughter!”

“Mr. Kennedy, you and my dad are the same age, so I think it’s only appropriate to call you Uncle Kennedy. Anyway, do you think we can continue the cooperation between our companies, Uncle Kennedy?” Anne seized the opportunity to ask.

Lionel raised his finger to stop her. “As I said, I’m not here today to discuss business, and I have no intention of cooperating with your company.”

“My Dad’s company had already cooperated with yours when he was still abroad, and you’re both long familiar with each other. Your decision to give up the cooperation is nothing more than the fact that medical care has been too uncertain recently, and my Dad’s company has yet to reach the peak of its profits. I can understand that, but it’s just that the benefits that you’re seeking, as far as I know, can’t last long. ”

“How do you know?”

“It’s like the competition between two stores on both sides of the street, A sells a bowl of noodles for five dollars, and B also sells it at the same price. However, B finds that his business is not as good as

A, so he only has two aspects of going about–Either lower the price or increase the portion of noodles. This is vicious competition, and if he wants to solve the problem from the root, he also has to consider whether the noodles are delicious,

Anne said.

Lionel pointed at Anne. “I admire you, but it doesn’t matter if the noodle is delicious or not. As long as it’s not bad, it can go on.”

“How long can a store like this last?” Anne asked, “Besides, if you were really, really sure about working with B, you wouldn’t be here in person today.”

Lionel’s interest was piqued. Originally, he came here just to have a look, but switching cooperation to another company was not as easy as just with words, and it required both sides to get along in all aspects.

He did not expect that Nigel’s daughter was not an idiot.

Was it good or bad to do business with such an intelligentperson?

“How about this–We’ll play a game. If you win, we’ll continue to work together. If you lose, we’ll not talk about it anymore. What do you think?” Lionel gave her a choice.

Anne’s heart sank.

Was there a need to play a game? She was obviously bound to lose! She had yet to win so far.

Behind Anne, Mr. Walker whispered, “Ms. Vallois, why don’t we just give up? After all, he’s not the only client we have. It’s obvious that he doesn’t want to cooperate with us.”

Anne frowned. Lionel still did not want to work with them? No. If she did not try, she would not know the result. If she did not try, she would surely fail, but what if she succeeded if she gave it a chance?

“No. If I just go back like this, how can I convince the others in the future?” Anne was determined.

If she could not go through the first level, what about the following ones?

If Lionel knew that she was useless and even spread it out, Nigel’s reputation would be tarnished.

Mr. Walker secretly looked down on Anne. Why should they waste time basking in the sun? It was better to admit defeat as soon as possible. Otherwise, they would only be further embarrassed!

Just as Anne was about to nod, there was a commotion at the golf course entrance, and everyone turned to look.

A tall figure in black suddenly appeared.

Anthony’s aura was too strong and naturally intimidating. Even the entire atmosphere of the golf course changed.

His bodyguards and Oliver were also behind him.

Anne was shocked. Why was Anthony here…

Chapter 714

When Lionel realized who it was, he rushed forward to greet him, “Hello, Mr. Marwood. My name is Lionel Kennedy. I didn’t expect to bump into you here, and I’ve long been looking forward to meeting you. We just finished here, and I hope you’ll have a good time.”

Anthony glanced at Anne and said, “Since we’re here, let’s play together!”

Lionel was surprised. Although his business was not small, it was not worth mentioning compared to the powerful young man before him.

Let alone being able to play together.

However, Lionel still humbly said, “I’m golfing with a newbie, so I’m afraid we’re not worthy of playing with you, Mr. Marwood.”

“A newbie…” Anthony’s obsidian eyes fixed on Anne, and he raised his hand to call her over.

Anne bit her lip and walked over reluctantly, secretly muttering, “What the hell is Anthony doing here? Is he really here for golf?”

Of all the times, why did he come when she was here? Was it just a coincidence?

Also, he should overlook it directly since Lionel said she was a newbie!

As for Lionel, he also dared not to say anything. After all, if there were ten steps between her and Lionel, then there were a hundred steps between Lionel and Anthony.

Anne stepped forward and lowered her head. “Mr. Marwood.”

“What did you say?” Anthony acted as if he were deaf.

Anne noticed the puzzled look on Lionel’s face, and she held it in. “…Anthony.”

Anne was sure that this man was doing this on purpose!

Lionel was taken aback and looked at Anne in surprise. “Y–You know Mr. Marwood?”

“You can say that we’re quite close,” Anthony answered.

Such an answer was confusing, but Lionel immediately understood what Anthony meant.

Anne was Anthony’s!

“I’m sorry. It’s my mistake for not noticing it earlier. Ms. Vallois, forgive me!” Lionel immediately said sleekly.

Anthony replied, “It’s not your fault. She wasn’t a businesswoman before, and no one knew her. What were you playing just now?”

Lionel dared not to mention it and almost broke into a sweat. After all, everyone knew that Anthony was the King of Luton who could decide anyone’s life and death.

Anne thought that Lionel was an earnest businessman and his character was acceptable. However, Anthony was too oppressive, so he had no choice but to say so.

“Obviously, we’re playing golf.” Anne helped Lionel out of the tricky situation.

“Why did I hear as if there was a gamble?” Anthony asked threateningly.

Lionel was frightened and could only answer truthfully, “Yes. I was playing golf with Ms. Vallois, and I said we can only continue our cooperation if she wins.”

“Aren’t you bullying the newbies?” Anthony asked calmly.

Even so, it made Lionel sweat profusely. “Actually, I had already decided that even if Ms. Vallois loses, I’ll continue cooperating with her despite suggesting we play a game. She’s so intelligent that she often leaves me speechless. Mr. Faye is so lucky to have such a daughter!”

“Since you’re competing, then you have to do it well. However, her skills are lacking, so it’s better for me to teach her first so as not to embarrass herself,” Anthony said.

“Sure,” Lionel naturally agreed.

The game itself was unnecessary after Anthony appeared. However, Lionel noticed that Anthony was quite interested in the matter.

“Come here.” Anthony walked toward the center of the field, and he was naturally ordering Anne.

Anne did not need Anthony’s teaching at all, but she still walked over.

Anthony, with a club in his hand, appeared calm and sexy. Then, he said to Anne, “Is this what you mean by meeting a client?”

Chapter 715

“I didn’t lie to you. On the other hand, what are you doing? Why are you here and disturbing the situation?” Anne asked.

“Do you have a problem with that?”

“…I won’t dare to.”

“I know you won’t.” Anthony grabbed Anne’s hand and pulled her over. Then, with her back up against his, he guided her step by step. “Pay attention.”

Anne bit her lip, appearing extremely uncomfortable.

Why was he teaching her how to golf this way under everyone’s watchful eyes? Anthony was too ignorant of the existence of others!

In fact, there was no need to play a game and decide on the winner. Furthermore, with Anthony’s sudden appearance, there was no need for her to show up in person to discuss business in Luton in the future!

However, Anne did not want this to happen. She wanted to know more about her father, and she wished to use her own efforts and intelligence to run her father’s company.

Moreover, what good was it to owe Anthony?

Nothing! It would only make Anthony treat her more presumptuously and possess her!

When Anthony pulled Anne into his arms, Lionel and the others had their backs facing away, pretending to chat over a cup of tea.

“Mr. Walker, how could you not tell me that Ms. Vallois and Mr. Marwood knew each other? I almost made a fool out of myself,” Lionel said.

The chubby Mr. Walker tried his best to fawn over Lionel. In truth, he wanted to make trouble for Anne so she would walk away in the face of difficulties. Then, he would add fuel to the fire once they were back in the company so Anne would quit.

Unexpectedly, Anthony appeared.

Anne was so young, yet she was already in charge of the company. The essential staff of the company was unwilling to submit to her orders.

Moreover, Dorothy told him that as long as Anne was forced to quit, he would be promoted.

However, it would be hard to do that with the current situation.

When Anthony was almost done teaching Anne, his bodyguard called Lionel over.

Anne played her. Surprisingly, she actually played much better after being taught by Anthony. In fact, the ball went straight to the hall in one swing.

Lionel took the lead and exclaimed, “Do I still need to play? I’ll obviously lose! Ms. Vallois improved her skills to this level in just a few minutes. It can be seen that Mr. Marwood’s skills are outstanding.”

“It’s just a coincidence,” Anne said.

“Ms. Vallois, you’re being too humble.”

“Uncle Kennedy, you can call me by my name. No need for the formality.” Anne corrected him.

Lionel agreed, “Sure. Anyway, the cooperation between our companies will continue, so we’re just like a family.”

After golfing and negotiating the cooperation, Anne and Anthony left with his Rolls Loyce.

Anthony stared at Anne, who was sitting by the window, and asked, “Aren’t you going to thank me for helping you?”

Anne adjusted her sitting posture, glanced at him, and said, “Even if you didn’t come, I would still be able to persuade Mr. Kennedy. However, have you thought about what others would think when they discuss business with me in the future!”

After she said that, Anthony just looked at her indifferently and did not say a word.

The silent stare made Anne nervous.

Why was he looking at her but not saying anything?

Did she say something wrong? Then again, was it not the truth?

After a while, Anne saw Anthony coming over, and his shadow loomed over her, blocking the lights in the entire car.

As soon as Anne lowered her gaze, Anthony grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of her seat. In an instant, she was in Anthony’s arms, sitting directly on his muscular thighs.

Anne stared blankly at the man looking at her from above, and his imposing aura made her breathe unsteadily. “Hey…you…”

“What’s the problem?”

“Of course…there’s a problem. I just want to rely on my real skills, but I’m now going through the back door.” Anne retorted stubbornly.

“Others rack their brains to climb the ladder. This is already your skill.” Anthony pinched her chin and rubbed it seductively. “Your skill is unique…”

After he said that, he kissed her.
