Ch. 736..740: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 736-740
Chapter 736
She immediately saw his profile.
He was the future head of the Lloyd family, the only heir.
Corentin started to manage the Lloyd family business at a young age. He did that in his teens, and then he studied abroad.
After studying abroad, he returned and continued to be in charge of the Lloyd family.
He was excellent in every aspect.
Even if he was not the heir of the Lloyd family, his achievements were still admirable.
His life was very different from Salvatore’s, and it was impossible for them to be the same person.
Ashlynn was once again amazed that there were people who looked so alike. She thought that Salvatore was back, almost scaring her to death…
Anne was working in her office when there was a knock on the door. What followed was the triplets. “Mama!”
Anne was taken aback, raised her head, looked at the triplets, and got up in surprise. “Why are you here?”
The triplets rushed up and threw themselves into Mama’s arms.
“You guys came by yourself?” Anne looked back and only saw Ashlynn, who had brought them in.
Ashlynn seemed to be taken aback by the fact that the triplets called Anne, Mama.
“That’s right. We came here ourselves, aren’t we great?” Chloe was bouncing in her arms happily
“Excellent.” Anne smiled.
Ivan must have followed them.
With the experience from last time, Anne did not make any fuss about it anymore.
This meant the triplets could have fun everywhere now. They could take care of themselves.
“Mama, we bought this for you!” Charlie raised the dessert in his hand.
“Ah?” Anne was surprised that they brought her something to eat. How could she refuse?
“Does Mama like it?” Chris asked with bright eyes.
“Of course I like it. Mama wants to eat it!” Anne hugged their soft little bodies contentedly.
Ashlynn asked, “Ms. Vallois, do you want some coffee?”
“Give me four glasses of fruit juice.”
“Okay.” Ashlynn went to make fruit juice for them.
Anne was eating the cake with a small spoon when the juice was brought in.
She also fed some to her three children.
Chloe took a sip of the juice, raised her face, and asked, “Do you want some?”
Ashlynn looked at the adorable triplets and said with a smile, “Thank you, but I don’t drink juice.”
“Are you tired from work?” Charlie asked.
“Ah, not really,” Ashlynn said.
“Mama is very nice!” Chris’s little face was happy.
“Yes, Ms. Vallois is very kind to me and takes good care of me.” Ashlynn was telling the truth.
In her past jobs, she had been through office politics and was even harassed by her boss. None of this happened here.
She did not need to worry about these at all.
Anne smiled and said, “Let me introduce them to you. These are my triplets, two sons and one daughter.”
“I can see that. Your daughter looks just like you,” Ashlynn said.
Anne looked at Chloe lovingly and wiped the juice off the corner of her mouth. “Yeah, she does look like me.”
“Ha!” Chloe beamed.
While she worked through the afternoon, the triplets played, drew, and played with their mobile phones in the office.
They came here after taking a nap.
It did not matter if they had not slept since her father’s lounge was just next to them.
When it was almost time to get off work, Anne thought about whether to take the children back to the mansion.
After all, Anthony said that she could make her own decisions, so did that include taking the children to her mother’s mansion?
Chapter 737
While thinking about it, the office door was pushed open without even a knock.
Anne looked up and saw the person who came in and sighed inwardly.
Of course, it was Anthony.
“Papa!” the triplets called out.
“Is Papa here to pick us up?” Chloe asked.
“I don’t want to go back. I want to play!” Charlie was not happy, and he fell on the sofa, refusing to leave.
Anthony picked him up from the sofa and sat down. “You can have fun back home, can’t you?”
Charlie blinked his big, fierce eyes. “Is Mama going back with us?”
“That depends on whether your mother is willing or not,” Anthony said.
The triplets looked at Mama expectantly.
Anne was very stressed.
”
Did Anthony do that on purpose?
She could not refuse, could she? The kids would be sad and disappointed.
”וויו
go, I’ll go.” She had a forced smile on her face.
“Yeah!” The triplets ran around excitedly.
They left the office.
Charlie and Chris ran ahead.
Chloe took his Mama’s hand and pulled open the door with his other hand.
Ashlynn came out from the toilet and greeted her, “Ms. Vallois.”
“We’re going home!” Charlie said.
Ashlynn laughed. “Okay.”
“Papa came to pick us up!” Chloe shook her cute little braids, feeling very proud.
Ashlynn looked at Anthony next to him. His aura was dark and unpredictable.
She bowed respectfully.
“Ms. Thompson, you can go back early if you have finished your work,” Anne said.
“Okay, I’ll go back when I’m done,” Ashlynn said.

After Anne and the others left, Ashlynn wondered for a moment. ‘Was that Ms. Vallois’s husband?‘
She heard some gossip from people in the company saying that Ms. Vallois was not married.
No matter what, it was certain that the triplets belonged to Anne and Anthony.
The daughter looked like Anne, and the boys looked like Anthony.
Back at work, her colleagues began to gossip, “Hey, have you seen the person in charge of the Archduke Group?”
“Who?” Ashlynn was stunned.
“It’s that handsome and cold man who came to visit Ms. Vallois more than once! They have triplets together. You know that, right?”
Ashlynn did see the triplets, but she did not like to gossip. She was focused on her job.
“I thought Ms. Vallois is not married?” someone wondered.
Mr. Walker came over, and when he heard the content of their gossip, he became interested. “You don’t know about this, do you? I know everything. Just ask me.”
The others immediately gathered around and asked, “Mr. Walker, what’s going on? Ms. Vallois is not married. Why does she have triplets? The sons look exactly like the leader of the Archduke Group.”
“They look the same!”
Mr. Walker sat down and said, “Ms. Vallois had three children with Mr. Marwood, the leader of Archduke Group, but the child was born in secret, and Mr. Marwood didn’t know about it.”
“Then, is Mr. Marwood going to marry Ms. Vallois since they have children together?” a colleague asked.
“That’s not going to be possible. Mr. Marwood’s fiance is Bianca, the well–known pianist. Do you know her?” Mr. Walker said emphatically.
“Then…Ms. Vallois gave birth to the children, but she isn’t Mr. Marwood’s wife?” “That’s rather complicated, isn’t i
Chapter 738
“Why not marry if they already have kids?”
“Don’t you understand? The three children were an accident. Mr. Marwood’s true love is Bianca!”
Everyone understood.
“Poor Ms. Vallois. She has three children with Anthony, yet she cannot be Mrs. Marwood.” Mr. Walker shook his head and sighed.
“Even so, she should have a lot of benefits, shouldn’t she? Mr. Marwood has a lot of influence in Luton. He has money and power.”
“That won’t happen. Ms. Vallois‘ mother once intervened in the relationship of Mr.Marwood’s parents, she…” Mr. Walker started gossiping but was interrupted by Ashlynn.
“Mr. Walker, aren’t you getting off work? It’s already after working hours.”
Mr. Walker looked exasperated. “I am going. I am going. Let’s go.”
In the Royal mansion, it was time for dinner.
Anne and Anthony were having dinner with three children, and they looked like a happy family.
“We will go out to sea tomorrow,” Anthony said.
Anne was stunned for a moment before she understood what he meant. “What time tomorrow?”
“In the afternoon.”
The triplets reacted quickly.
“Are we going to have fun at sea tomorrow?”
“All five of us?”
“Let’s all go!”
The maid told Dorothy what she overheard, and Bianca knew about it as soon as she returned from the studio.
She threw her handbag on the sofa angrily. “Go out to sea? It must be Anne’s idea. What a b *tch she is, trying her best to be with Anthony undisturbed! Dad is still lying in the hospital, and his condition is still unstable. All she thinks about is having fun at sea. What a shameless person!”
Dorothy asked, “What are you going to do about it? We can’t use the method we used last time, or it might backfire.”
“I know that if I use it again, it will arouse suspicion. So this time, I will prevent Anne from going.” Bianca’s eyes glowed viciously.
“How are you going to do that?”
“If something happens to Sarah, do you think Anne will still be in the mood to go out and play?” Bianca had an evil glare.
Dorothy thought it was a good idea. “If that’s the case, let me do it! These few days, Sarah went to the hospital every day to visit your father. Dr. Brown stopped her and wanted her to rest because she was too tired. It wouldn’t arouse too much suspicion if she had an accident.”
The next afternoon, when Anne came out of the company, she saw Anthony’s Rolls Loyce parked at the door.
The triplets stood at the window and waved their hands.
“Mama!”
“Mama, over here!”
“Come here, Mama!”
When Anne saw her children, a happy smile appeared on her face.
The bodyguard opened the door of the car. Anthony was sitting inside, looking at her with dark eyes in a deep imposing manner.
Anne’s eyes flickered, ignoring him and instead, focusing on the children.
Anne checked the distance, and it would take more than an hour to drive since it was a distance away.
Although taking the helicopter would be faster, she thought it was too dangerous for the triplets to be on it.
Fortunately, Anthony did not force it.
It took less time than expected, and they arrived at the pier in less than an hour.
“Look, Mama, there is a boat!”
“What a big one!”
“Is it ours?”
Anne looked up and saw the yachts docked at the pier from a distance. The three–storied yacht was very luxurious. She wondered what it would look like inside.
“It is ours,” Anthony said.
Chapter 739
Anne was slightly taken aback, and she thought it was rented.
It was also her first time on a yacht.
Only rich people could afford to be on yachts.
An ordinary person like her could not afford to be on one.
“Mama, hurry up and get on the boat with us. I want to play!” Charlie shouted excitedly.
Anne smiled and was about to say ‘yes‘ when her phone rang.
She thought it was a call from work but the call was from Dr. Brown.
‘What’s wrong?‘
Was it good or bad news…
She stepped aside to answer. “Hello?”
“Ms. Vallois, your mother fell in the ward and suffered a head injury.”
“What?” Anne raised her heart.
“Do not worry. It’s been dealt with. It’s just a slight concussion, and she needs some rest.”
“I’ll be there right away.” Anne hung up the phone and looked back at Anthony. Looking at the triplets, she could not bear to tell them she was leaving because they did not have many chances to come out to have fun together. She walked up to Anthony and said in a low voice, “Why do not you take the children to play? I have something to do, and I might not be able to go.”
“What’s the matter?” Anthony’s black eyes were cold.
“My mother fell in the ward and suffered a slight concussion. I have to go back and have a look.” After Anne finished speaking, she looked at Anthony nervously for fear that he would not agree.
She could go on the yacht if forced, but she would be very restless along the journey.
“Take them up first,” Anthony ordered the bodyguards.
The bodyguards went to the yacht with the triplets in their arms.
“Come quickly, Papa and Mama!” Chloe was still calling.
Looking into Anthony’s eyes, Anne said, “You won’t let me return, right?”
“There are doctors and nurses there. What’s the use of you going?” Anthony wore a mean expression
Anne knew she was a party pooper, but she did not want this to happen.
“But she’s my mother… You take the children and have fun, I’ll be here the next time, okay?”
“Either stay with the children, or there won’t be a next time.” Anthony had a sullen face.
Anne lowered her gaze. “Sorry, I’m going to go back…” She turned and left.
Anthony’s face was dark, and he grabbed her wrist and dragged her back.
“Ah!” Anne slammed into his strong chest, sensing his breath on her.
“I start to wonder if you care about your child. The last time you left your child to go abroad, now you would just leave them behind. Will you leave them one day in the future? Hmm?”
Anne tried to explain to him as calmly as possible, “My father is now in a vegetative state. I do not know if he will wake up. If my mother has another accident, what am I going to do? Anthony, I care about my children very much. I can leave the children because you are here and will take care of them. My mother only has doctors and nurses beside her. How can I turn a blind eye as her only daughter? If the three children know about that, what will they think of me? I should set a good example for them, should I not?”
Anthony’s expression was cold, and his eyes darkened. “That sounds nice.” He let go of her. “I’ll have someone take you back, and I’ll see you here tomorrow.”
After finishing speaking, he turned and went to the yacht.
Anne was stunned. What did he mean? Was he going to wait here with the children?
Thinking that Anthony would make the proper arrangements, she went to the car.
Anthony’s bodyguard drove her back.
More than an hour later, Anne returned to the hospital.
After entering the ward, she saw Sarah lying on the bed.
It was normal for Dr. Brown to be here, but why were Dorothy and Bianca here?
Dorothy and Bianca secretly looked at each other. The plan had succeeded.
Anne walked to the bed. “Mom?”
Sarah had her eyes closed, and her forehead was wrapped with gauze.
“Do not worry. She has not woken up yet, and we have to wait a while longer,” Dr. Brown said.
“What’s going on? Why did she fall? Was it because of fatigue?” Anne asked.
Dr. Brown hesitated for a moment, then looked at Dorothy.
Dorothy said, “I’m so sorry. I came to see Nigel in the ward. When I walked to the bedside, my foot kicked the foot of the bed, and I bumped into your mother. Your mother fell off the chair and knocked her head on the corner of the table. That’s why I am here with Bianca.”
Anne did not expect this to be the case and suddenly became suspicious, “Was it an accident?”
“What do you mean? Do you think that I pushed her on purpose? Do not accuse me without evidence!” Dorothy said eccentrically.
Anne really had no evidence.
She just felt suspicious.
She felt that they did it on purpose.
Now to think of it, it was unlikely.
She had not mentioned to anyone that they were going to sea.
Anthony would not tell Bianca that he was taking another woman out to sea, would he?
Perhaps it really was an accident, then.
“If you want to find out the truth, we will cooperate with you,” Bianca said.
Anne was annoyed by her attitude.
They sounded as if it was an accomplishment to hurt someone.
“If I ever find out that you were the ones behind this…Now, please go out,” Anne said.
“Go investigate. We are not afraid.” Bianca gave her a contemptuous sideways glance and left the ward with Dorothy.
After watching them leave, Anne asked Dr. Brown, “I remember there was a surveillance camera in my father’s ward?”
“Indeed there is.”
“I want to have a look.”
“Then come with me.”
Dr. Brown took Anne to the monitoring room and brought up the footage.
Sarah entered the ward after lunch, while Dorothy and Bianca went in two hours later.
There was no conflict, and it seemed that they both came to visit Nigel.
Five minutes later, Dorothy toppled over as if her foot was hooked somewhere, and she lost her footing.
She could not see why though. The footage was blocked by Bianca.
Was it a coincidence?
“It’s exactly what they said,” Dr. Brown said.
“Damn it.” Anne returned to the ward and found that Sarah was already awake, so she hurried over. “Mom, how are you?”
“Anne…” Sarah saw her daughter, still a little unconscious, and asked, “Why are you here?”
“Dr. Brown called me and said you fell, and I was so worried. Do you remember how you fell over?” Anne asked.
Chapter 740
Sarah thought for a moment, then said loudly, “Dorothy hit me. She wanted to kill me!”
“Yes, I saw it on the surveillance cameras. She also said that she bumped into you, but it was by accident. Do you think that was the case? It wasn’t very obvious on the surveillance cameras,” Anne said.
“By accident? They hate us so much.” Sarah doubted that.
“I know, but we have no proof.” Anne frowned.
“By the way, didn’t you say you wanted to go on vacation on the sea with the children? Why haven’t you gone yet?” Sarah remembered and asked.
“I didn’t because I heard you were hurt.”
“Where are the children?”
“They’re still on the yacht.”
Sarah said, “I think that’s what they want. They want you to leave your kids! Leave me alone and play with the children! It’s such a rare opportunity.”
“But I can’t leave you alone. I don’t feel safe with Dorothy and Bianca here.
“It’s okay. They can’t kill me, can they?” Sarah did not think they would have the courage to do anything against her.
“Let’s talk about it tomorrow,” Anne said.
She would not leave her mother now.
“You’re falling into their trap… Ouch.” Sarah’s head hurt when she thought about it.
“Don’t move your head too much. Dr. Brown said there was a slight concussion.”
Sarah closed her eyes until the discomfort disappeared and asked, “Is someone watching over your father now?”
“He’s next door. I’ll watch over him. He should be with Dorothy now,” Anne said.
Then she went to the outside of the next ward and looked in, and she was indeed there.
With them around, Anne would not enter the ward.
“This method is good. Anne has really returned.” Dorothy was very happy that her scheme had succeeded.
“Is Anthony back?” Bianca said.
“I’ll call the housekeeper and ask.”
“No need.”
“What’s wrong?”
“As long as I know Anne’s whereabouts, it doesn’t matter where Anthony is, as long as she wasn’t there.” Bianca was confident with her plan.
Lilian got out of the car, entered the mansion, and saw Tommy drinking in front of the bar while looking at his computer.
She walked over and sat down beside him. “Are you busy?”
“I am. My cooperation with Lucas is still in the early stage. Although he doesn’t seem to want money, I can’t let my guard down.” Tommy looked at the document on the computer screen.
“Lucas wanted Anne with all his heart, but he failed to win her over. With the three children, Anne can’t marry whoever she wants,” Lilian said.
Lilian was advising Tommy.
Tommy twirled the wine glass in his hand, looked at it carefully, and asked with a worried expression, “What do you mean?”
“I think you and Anne are getting too close, and we won’t get any benefits from confronting Anthony directly.”
Tommy put down his wine glass. “You know Anthony and I have always been rivals. What’s wrong with being close to Anne? I just want to make him uncomfortable.”
“Is that really it?” Lilian asked.
Tommy did not answer. Was that his only reason?
If it was, why did he care so much about Anne? It was as if everything had gone back to when she was in the Marwood family.
At that time, he really liked Anne.
She was good, cute, and nice, but then she changed for some reason.
Maybe people change when they grow up…
