Ch. 726..730: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 726-730
Chapter 726
It would not be bad as well if Bianca has such an uncle to back her up.
Just when they were making such plans, they heard Anne questioning him, “How can I know if you’re telling the truth or not? We can’t just believe anybody who pops up and says that he’s my father’s younger brother, can’t we? Also, even if you’re his younger brother, you didn’t visit him when he was fine, su there’s no need for you to be here now! My father has his own family and daughters and that’s enough!”
Corentin smiled and looked at her without saying a word.
Dorothy sneered, “Anne, do your words make sense at all? Why would anybody come and simply say that he is Nigel’s family for nothing? If he is really Nigel’s family, then it’s absolutely necessary for him to come and visit him! You are just his daughter. Can you hold the same position as Nigel’s family? Perhaps the matters of the past are still something that’s troubling Nigel. Don’t you want to help him resolve that?”
Anne looked at Corentin calmly. “My father is a very responsible man and he has never owed anybody anything. He is praised as a businessman who always keeps his word in the business field. I’m curious, what exactly has my father done to make the Lloyd family so heartlessly kick him out of the family and not give a damn about him for a few decades? As my father’s brother, you should know this very well, right?”
“I’m not too clear on that. After all, when it happened back then, I was still very young, so I don’t remember anything. My father even gave the order that everybody in the entire family is not permitted to mention his eldest son. It’s my personal intention to come here,” said Corentin as he looked at Anne, “if you want to know, you can ask the Lloyd family.”
“I won’t go.” Anne frowned. “I don’t believe that your father has no idea my father has already been married and has children: Why should I be in such a hurry to meet him? Since my father didn’t have the intention to acknowledge his family, I also won’t go against his will.”
Dorothy was unhappy. “It must be because your father didn’t want to lose face that he didn’t acknowledge his family. He just needed a way out. If he’s awake now and a member of his family came to look for him, would he still not respond?”
Corentin stood up. “I’ll be staying in Luton these days. This is my contact. Call me if there’s anything,” he said as he put a business card on the table in passing.
Then, he left.
Dorothy immediately questioned Anne, “What is your intention, Anne? You don’t want your father to do well, do you?”
“When have I ever said that?” Anne frowned.
“A member of Nigel’s family came over, but what kind of attitude did you have? Who do you think you are?” Dorothy was furious.
Sarah pulled Anne over, stood in front of her, and retaliated by saying, “We know very well who we are. Unlike some people who threw themselves at the man once they saw that he was not an ordinary person. Dorothy, you’re just like that your whole life. Once you see a rich man, you’ll want to throw yourself at that person!”
“You…what are you talking about?” Dorothy was so pissed that her face was flushed and she looked like she wanted to engage in a fight.
“Stop arguing!” Bianca endured her emotions and defended her own innocence with her words. “Can you be sure that Dad wouldn’t be willing to meet his family? What right do you. have to make this decision for him? Don’t think that you can call all the shots after you’ve taken his properties with deception. As his daughter, I absolutely won’t agree to that! What I think is that if… if Dad couldn’t make it through, it would be good for him to have his family at his funeral. However, all of you twisted my intentions like that. You’re simply covering your own ill will by shifting the blame to others! I…”
Speaking of that, Bianca felt dizzy and she collapsed.
Dorothy, who was nearest to her, hurriedly supported her and said anxiously, “Bianca, what’s the matter? Don’t give me a scare!”
Anne found it strange. She was still talking in high spirits earlier, so why did she suddenly faint without any warnings?
However, Anne instantly figured it out when she saw Anthony walking in.
“What’s the matter?” Anthony frowned.
Dorothy immediately said, “Bianca was pissed off by Anne. Her words were too harsh and she didn’t even think before doing anything!”
Anne looked at Dorothy coldly and then asked Bianca, “Do you want to get into the entertainment industry to shoot a film? You’re so good at acting. If you don’t do it, it really will be a waste! Mom, let’s go!”
Bianca concealed her gaze which was filled with ruthlessness.
Anne got in Sarah’s car and they left together.
While they were in the car, Sarah thought of something and said, “Crap. I didn’t take the business card.”
“What’s the use of taking that? I won’t be going to the Lloyd family anyway,” said Anne.
“Dorothy and Bianca might go,” said Sarah, “wouldn’t it be bad if you didn’t go? Besides, don’t you want to know what’s the situation between them and your father? Why did he stop keeping in touch with his family? You also said that your father is a very upright and responsible person. It’s impossible for him to have done something worthy to be kicked out of the family!
“Also, we have to seek justice for your father as well! On what grounds did they kick him out? How can there be such a heartless father in this world to do such a thing? Back then, your father was working extremely hard by himself. It was usual for him to drink to socialize until he was drunk as a skunk and fell asleep at the table without being able to wake up. Dorothy hated that he was poor, so she ran away and found herself a rich man. In the end, he is not an orphan and he actually has a family. Doesn’t that piss you off?”
Chapter 727
Anne started to waver because of what her mother said.
Her mother was right. Why should her father be kicked out of the family and suffer so much?
What exactly was the matter that made his father avoid talking about his family and would rather say that he was an orphan?
“I feel that the appearance of this person was too strange,” said Anne.
“Why? You’ve said so yourself. It’s because something has happened to your father that his family would value him. This is very normal.”
“Corentin said himself that he doesn’t remember anything when Dad left the family, so would he have any affection for him? He actually came alone to see Dad. Is it truly like that?”
“He might not have much affection for your father. Didn’t he say that his father did not allow anybody in the family to mention your father? A person will be curious about things and people that he has never seen before!”
Anne did not say anything. This reason made sense as well.
No matter what, he was his family.
For some reason, Anne thought of herself and Bianca.
At the bottom of it all, she and Bianca were sisters and their relationships were unusually poor. They would be extraordinarily infuriated when they saw each other as if they were enemies.
However, perhaps she could approach the Lloyd family to see what happened between them and her father.
Also, if Corentin has really come to visit his family or he has come bearing ill intent. 1
As soon as she got out of the car, the phone in her bag rang.
Anne glanced at the incoming call and she really wanted to pretend that she did not hear the call.
“Is it Anthony calling?” Sarah figured out who it was just by looking at her daughter’s expression.
“I’ll first be returning to my room. You should go to bed earlier, Mom.”
Sarah muttered, “What do you have to say that you need to do so behind my back…”
When Anne returned to the room, the incoming call on her phone had already stopped.
Anne returned the call. As soon as the call was picked up, Anthony’s threatening and ghastly voice could be heard coming from the other end of the call. “Do you wish for me to barge in?”
“Don’t. I have just gotten into the room and I didn’t hear my phone ringing,” Anne explained.
“Come out.”
“What?” Anne was slightly stunned and she looked toward the direction of the balcony.” You’re here?”
“Is five minutes enough?”
“Hey, why are you here? I’m already going to sleep!”
“I want to sleep with you!” Anthony hung up the call impatiently as soon as he said that.
Anne gritted her teeth and was filled with anger.
How could this person be so domineering and unreasonable?
She put down her phone, got out of the room, and went downstairs.
Sarah, who had just come upstairs, asked, “Where are you going?”
Anne furrowed her eyebrows. “Anthony’s outside. I’ll go and have a look.”
“Are you going to stay at the Royal Mansion?”
“…I don’t know,” said Anne.
If he wanted her to go, she would have no choice but to go.
Sarah hurriedly grabbed Anne’s arm. “Say, up until this point, Anthony still hasn’t gotten the marriage certificate with Bianca. Do you think he has changed his mind? Why don’t you think of a way to get him to get the marriage certificate with you?” 3
“My dear Mom, hurry up and go to bed! Don’t meddle with my matters.” Anne pulled her mother’s hand away from her and ran off.
Sarah’s voice could be heard coming from behind Anne. “Who else would meddle with your matters if not me?”
Anne ran out of the mansion, and sure enough, she saw a Rolls Loyce parked outside.
Under the darkness of the night, it looked just like a ferocious beast hibernating.
It was true that a car would match the owner. It was terrifying.
As soon as Anne approached the car, the car door opened automatically. In the next second, a hand reached out from inside the car and aggressively pulled her in…
“Ah!”
Her entire body sank into a man’s firm embrace and her breath was occupied by a masculine breath.
She lifted her head and she met the ferocious beast’s black eyes, which instantly made her feel terrified.
“Why are you looking for me?” As soon as Anne turned her face away, the engine of the car started and it drove off, which made her upset and frown. “Where are you taking me?”
“What do you think?”
Anne pursed her lips. “Let me get out of the car. I’m not going anywhere.”
Chapter 728
“Don’t you want to know who Corentin is?”
Anne was slightly stunned. “Do you know him?”
“I can investigate.”
Anne understood what Anthony meant. He did not know Corentin.
However, with Anthony’s power, he should have no problem investigating Corentin.
If he had a problem, Anthony would not have taken her away so confidently.
Anne sat properly next to him and asked, “What have you found out?”
“I’ll tell you after we arrive.”
The Rolls Loyce drove into the familiar apartment.
While Anne was sitting in the car, she could tell that the car did not head toward the Royal Mansion.
The car stopped downstairs of the apartment, and both Anne and Anthony got out of the car.
Anne turned her head back and was spacing out a little as she watched the Rolls Loyce drive toward the garage.
Her father had bought an apartment here for her, but before she could stay in it, her father had encountered a mishap…
“What are you thinking about?” Anthony’s black eyes were staring at her.
Anne was not in the mood to tell him about all that. “Nothing…” As soon as she turned around, he pulled her by the wrist and she bumped right into Anthony’s arms.
“I want to know.” Anthony was forceful.
Anne really wanted to resist such a domineering person, but her ability did not permit her to do so. She had no choice but to hold back her unhappiness and said, “I bumped into my dad that day when I was leaving here after I recovered from my fever. That made me spaced out a little.”
That time when she had a fever… Anthony immediately thought of the series of things that happened.
Anne’s lies included.
Anne saw that Anthony’s expression was cold and he did not say a single word, but the force of his grip on her wrist was increasing.
Her slender bones were squeezed and it started to make her feel uncomfortable.
If she still did not say anything, her bones might be crushed.
“What are you doing? You’re hurting me…” Anne struggled a little.
Anthony released his hand and walked toward the elevator without saying a word.
Anne only felt that it was baffling.
As to be expected of a temperamental person.
As Anne followed behind him, it suddenly occurred to her that her fever was not the only thing that happened during those few days. Anthony probably had thought of the incident where he was deceived.
Since that was the case, he should not have brought her here.
She was truly afraid that Anthony would manhandle her because of his unstable emotion.
She entered the apartment feeling rather uneasy. She was the last to enter, so she closed the door and changed into slippers.
The slippers were the cotton slippers for women that she had worn before. It was unexpected that it was still around.
Anthony poured himself a cup of water and drank it while sitting at the table. He was at the state where he ignored everybody else.
Anne walked over and sat on the other chair.
“Help yourself to whatever drinks you want,” Anthony said coldly.
“No need.” Anne was not thirsty. “I’m not interested in learning about Corentin.”
Anthony put his cup down, crossed his long legs, and stared straight at her with his deep black eyes. “The Lloyd family plays a pivotal role in Athetin. Corentin is the only heir to the Lloyd family. He is single and he is worth a lot of money. He still hasn’t inherited the Lloyd family’s business, but without a question, he is now the one calling the shots for the Lloyd family now.”
“Then what about my dad? Did you find anything about that?” Anne asked.
Anthony took out his phone and clicked on a photo for her to see.
Anne held the phone and saw a photo of a family of three.
The older man and woman were sitting on the chairs. The man was in a suit, and he had an imposing air to him. The woman was dignified and elegant.
Anne could tell at a glance that the person standing behind the man was her father.
The young and handsome face had a smile on it.
However, Anne knew that her father’s smile when it came from the bottom of his heart was not like that.
That smile was very unnatural and it looked very forced.
She looked at the expression on the woman’s face again. She appeared to be listless.
Other than an imposing air, the man next to her had nothing else.
Chapter 729
“Mr. Faye is considered a secret of the Lloyd family. There isn’t much time, so I only get to know some things from the outside world. It was all rumors about the way Corentin does things. It has nothing to do with Mr. Faye. Further investigation will be needed if you want to find out more,” said Anthony.
Anne looked at Nigel in the photo and asked, “Is this couple…my grandparents?”
“Mm–hmm.”
“Looking at my dad’s age, Corentin should have been born, right? Why isn’t he in the photo? “Anne asked.
“Mr. Faye’s father has two wives.”
Anne was slightly shocked at first, but she understood it after.
Corentin and her father were half–brothers who shared the same father.
Just like herself and Bianca.
However, what she could be certain of at that moment was that Corentin indeed was her uncle.
“Since there’s nothing else, I can go back now, can’t I?” Anne asked.
“Do you think you can still leave after coming here?” Anthony looked at her with his deep black eyes filled with a sense of danger.
Anne provoked him with her gaze. “I can stay but would it be alright if you don’t return? Bianca is still waiting at the Royal Mansion, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have brought me here. What’s the matter? Is this the luxury place to keep your mistress?”
Anthony looked at her with a cold gaze without saying a word. Clearly, Anne, had gotten it right.
“It’s better for you to return to the Royal Mansion. Don’t let the children have neither their mother nor their father by their side-” Anne stood up, but before she finished her sentence, something tightened around her wrist and she was pulled over. She then fell and sat on Anthony’s lap. “Ah! You…”
Anthony pinched her chin. “You don’t have to worry about the children. As for where I should be, it’s entirely up to my mood.” 1
Anne did not want to talk to him. She pulled his hand and she wanted to use that as leverage to get up. However, his hand around her waist was clamping her down like pliers.
She said unhappily, “I’m not in the mood. It’s either you let me go to bed or let me go home."
Anthony carried her in his arms and walked toward the bathroom. “You’ll be in the mood later.”
“Ah!” Water directly poured down from the showerhead in the bathroom and that gave Anne a fright. She turned around and wanted to leave.
Anthony wrapped an arm around her chest tightly and let the water drench their clothes and bodies.
With his thin lips, he kissed Anne’s ears, face…
“Mmm…” Anne turned her face away to hide from him. “Anthony, you can’t force me!”
“Be a little more obedient.”
Such coercive behavior made Anne feel extremely annoyed. She pushed Anthony’s chest away with all her might.
Anthony did not expect that she would have such a huge reaction that he was made to take a step back after being pushed by her. His expression instantly turned cold. “What are you doing?“”
“My dad is in a coma in the hospital and there’s still no telling if he can survive. Yet, you… you let Bianca take care of the children. What is your intention?” Anne questioned him with her face covered in fury.
Once she thought of Bianca keeping her children accompanied at that moment, she felt like her heart was being sliced up with a knife!
“Regarding Mr. Faye, we’ve been looking for a treatment method. There’s no use for you to be anxious. Bianca won’t stay long if I’m not at the Royal Mansion. The children are being taken care of by the servants. What do you have to be worried about?” Anthony was almost in a violent rage after she spoiled the fun for him.
“I don’t want to do it.” Anne turned around and left. She did not even want to say anything extra.
“Stop right there!” Seeing that Anne absolutely did not take him seriously, Anthony was so pissed that he went forward to grab her and pinned her on the glass with great force. A loud thud could be heard and the entire glass started shaking with the danger of immediately smashing. “You can’t hear what I said?”
“I can’t hear it! I also don’t want to hear it! If you really feel uncomfortable with all the pent- up urges, go look for Bianca or a woman out there. You can look for anybody but don’t come to me!” Anne shouted uncontrollably.
“Damn it…” Anthony’s gaze was cold and distorted. His emotions were about to burst out of him. His fists by his sides were clenched extremely tightly. His muscles, which were outlined by the water included, appeared to be extremely aggressive.
“Anthony, I know that I’m extremely weak in front of you. I’m as tiny as an ant. I can’t defeat you at all and I don’t want to fight you as well. You’ll marry Bianca sooner or later. Can you just give me a bit of
time? Can you not make me sleep with you when Bianca is with my children? What is that? A blessing from me?” No matter how afraid Anne felt at that moment, she still stared straight at him stubbornly.
For the sake of her children, no matter how much she has to sacrifice, it would be worth it!
“I have already told you earlier. She will leave!” Anthony held back his temper and repeated to her.
“Then, let’s talk after she leaves!” Anne struggled, broke free from Anthony, turned around, and walked out of the bathroom.
Anthony ran his fingers through his hair with annoyance and his expression was terrifyingly cold.
Her temper was getting worse and worse. She actually dared to give him attitude!
She was simply relying on the children to get such confidence, was she not?
Anne was rummaging through the walk–in closet for clothes. There were clothes for women, anyway. Screw the reason for the clothes to be there. It would be fine as long as she could wear them.
Chapter 730
Just as she took out the clothes, she heard Anthony’s cold and stern voice. “You’re not allowed to leave!”
Anne frowned and did her best to calm herself down. “I said I don’t want to do it.”
“I won’t touch you. Just sleep here.” Anthony’s voice was cold and unyielding.
Anne looked at him in confusion.
When Anthony turned around, he saw the water droplets on the floor that trailed behind her and his expression looked bad. “Clean up the floor!”
“I don’t want to. If you want it cleaned, do it yourself.” Anne held the pajamas in her arms, walked past him, and openly went into the bathroom. She even locked the door.
Anthony’s expression was completely darkened.
When Anne came out after taking a shower, the water stains on the floor outside had already been cleaned up.
Did Anthony really clean it up?
At that moment, Anthony was in his pajamas and was sitting on the couch in the living room. He was looking at her with a cold gaze.
There were three bathrooms in the apartment. Clearly, he was done showering before Anne.
That meant that there certainly must be more than one room in the apartment.
However, Anne understood that it was impossible for her to have a room by herself.
Just as Anne was about to climb into bed and one of her legs was still on the ground, she left someone attacking her from behind and pinned her down…
“Ah! Anthony, you said you won’t touch me…”
“Are you so unwilling to be touched by me? Hmm?” Anthony bit her ear.
Anne was in so much pain that he frowned. “Let go of me…”
“Enough. Let’s sleep.” Anthony comprised. He just hugged her and did not do anything out of line.
Anne laid by Anthony’s side in a fixed position and she could not move much.
She did not resist either. It was already quite good like that.
She should just sleep. It would be all the same wherever she slept anyway.
As for Bianca, she indeed has to slowly accept it….
Anthony woke up in the middle of the night, got out of bed, and went to take a cold shower.
Anne was woken up by him, but she pretended to not know and continued to sleep.
However, when she woke up in the morning. Anne noticed that Anthony has quite a long face.
Of course, she knew what the reason was.
Anthony had gone to the bathroom more than once last night.
In any case, she would not pity him.
They did not have breakfast and left immediately. 1
Anne even thought that she had to have breakfast at the company and prepared to let Ashlynn help get her breakfast.
Unexpectedly, the car went directly to the Royal Mansion.
Hayden was keeping the triplets accompanied in the hallway.
Children were always going to bed early, and waking up early, and they were extremely energetic.
When they saw Papa and Mama returning together, they were so happy that they directly threw the toys in their hands away…
“Papa Mama!”
“Papa Mama!”
“Papa Mama!”
They called out to both of them together, but they only rushed toward Mama.
