Ch. 796..800: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 796-800

Chapter 796

It was impossible for Ashlynn to leave her dog to die, and because of that, she was given no choice.

“I…I will go with you, but can you promise me something?”

“Go on.”

“Don’t kill people again,” she requested. That was the best she could ask for. Salvatore knew nothing but blood and he would have to change if he wanted to keep her in his life.

Corentin stared at her quietly with a terrifying manner.

“There are other solutions to things apart from killing people,” she pleaded.

“Alright.”

Shocked, she exclaimed, “Really?” Back when the man before her was still Salvatore Yeager, he was violent and anyone who crossed him would die.

“Of course. When have I ever lied to you?” He lowered his head and focused on devouring her lips.

Ashlynn did not resist, but grabbed onto the bedsheets tightly to suppress the fear coursing through her veins.

In the past, she had been consumed by fear that she would die at the hands of Salvatore and now, she simply could not imagine what a monster he would become after obtaining power and wealth.

When the phone on the nightstand rang, Ashlynn jolted awake and realized that she was alone in bed.

It had been a night of torment as Salvatore had always been insatiable.

She grabbed the phone and stilled for a moment when she saw the caller’s name. “Hello…” She instantly realized that her voice sounded extremely hoarse.

“What’s wrong? Are you sick?” Anne asked.

“…A bit.” Ashlynn cleared her throat and said, “I’m fine.”

“Are you awake? Can you open the door for me? You have the keys,” Anne said.

“You are outside the apartment?”

Sensing that something was wrong, Anne said, “Are you not inside the apartment? Are you… with my uncle?”

Ashlynn’s lack of response had proved her right and she continued, “Did my uncle force you to go there?”

“No. I went to him willingly.”

“I thought you were scared of him.”

“I thought about it, but now that I’m his wife, I will have to follow him.”

Anne sighed, “I respect your choice. By the way, the results for the paternity test came out the same. He is my dad’s sibling. Anthony said that it’s possible that Salvatore and Corentin are actually brothers, or this would not happen. How much do you know about Salvatore? You mentioned that he was adopted as well and that he didn’t know who his actual parents are, right?”

“Yes.”

“Also, if I’m not mistaken, Cory Lloyd knows that Corentin isn’t himself as well.”

“Why? Where’s the real Corentin? He’s a member of the Lloyd family as well!”

“Honestly, my first impression of Cory was horrible. He doesn’t care about my dad, so what’s the limit of his cruelty? All I want to say is that you need to be careful if you are following my uncle back to Athetin. Alright?”

“Thank you, Ms. Vallois. I-” The bathroom door flew open and Ashlynn stopped talking in an instant.

Corentin walked out with nothing but a towel around his waist.

Chapter 797

“Thank you for taking care of me, Ms. Vallois. I will never forget it. I need to go now.”

“Sure. Let me know if you need anything,” Anne said.

“I will.” Ashlynn hung up and turned to look at the man staring at her by the bed. “I’ll go with you. I’ve already told Ms. Vallois about it.”

Anne knew that Ashlynn could not speak her mind because Corentin was watching her, because they could not risk alerting Corentin in any way.

Anne remembered that Ashlynn still had her keys, but dismissed the thought shortly after since she had spare keys at home.

However, when she returned to her apartment and opened the drawer inside her room, she noticed that her spare keys were gone.

“I remember putting it here…no?” She mumbled to herself.

‘Did someone steal it?‘ She thought to herself. ‘No way. No one would break into an apartment just to steal keys.”

She looked everywhere, but there was no sign of her keys, so she was left to change the lock in her new apartment. She contacted a professional locksmith to change the lock and obtained the new keys to it.

When she went into the apartment, she noticed that the trash bin in the living room had collapsed onto the floor.

She walked over to lift it up, thinking that it had fallen and rolled off.

She did not think much of it, as Nigel had chosen this apartment for its security. Moreover, Anthony lived next door and if he was not concerned, she should not be worried either.

When Anne headed out of the apartment, she ran into Bianca, who approached her with a hateful look on her face.

It seemed like Bianca had been waiting for her, and when Bianca was visibly losing control of her anger, Anne took the opportunity to ask, “Did you steal my keys?”

“How would I find out about how shameless you are if I hadn’t?” Bianca’s face twisted with anger. “You and Anthony must have come here all the time, right? You must feel really good about yourself to humiliate me! Anne Vallois, you should die!”

Ever since Bianca realized what Anthony and Anne had been doing, she had not been able to recover and even had to take antidepressants to calm herself.

‘How could they?’ Bianca thought to herself, ‘I didn’t even know that Anthony has an apartment here. Did he buy this place to keep his lover? No! I won’t let them have what they want! Damn you, Anne Vallois!‘

“If you have an issue with this, it’s Anthony that you should be confronting!” Anne said, before turning to leave.

Bianca glared at Anne as she left and Anne’s confidence had stung her pride.

No one had ever humiliated her to this extent and gotten away with it. The only thought in Bianca’s mind at the moment was that she wanted Anne to experience her pain in a hundred folds.

‘How do I make her suffer?‘ She asked herself. ‘How…‘

Bianca returned to her apartment and saw Dorothy pressing on her doorbell as soon as she walked out of the elevator.

Dorothy hurried over to her and asked, “What’s going on with you? I can’t pin you down and you won’t answer your phone. What happened?”

“I’m fine,” she said blankly, before opening the door.

Dorothy followed her inside, as it was obvious that Bianca was upset. “Talk to me. Did Anne do something to you? They think they have won because they inherited everything from Nigel. Let me tell you this, something has to be wrong here! Don’t worry. You will take back what’s yours! I can’t believe Corentin. I was clear enough and he couldn’t be bothered to interfere.”

“Anne’s too good at seducing men. Right now, Anthony is spending more time with her than with me…”

Bianca panicked. Anthony was her fiancé and she was the future Mrs. Marwood; no one could take that away from her. If Anne tried to replace her, she could make sure that Anne died miserably.

“Doesn’t that make it even harder for you to get pregnant?” Dorothy cared about Bianca getting pregnant above all.

Chapter 798

In Dorothy’s perspective, all would be settled once Bianca had Anthony’s child.

“Can you stop bringing that up?!” Bianca screamed as she stood abruptly.

“Bianca, you can’t run from this. Just look at Anne. Without the kids, she wouldn’t be able to get close to Anthony.”

“He’s never touched me. How am I supposed to get pregnant?!” Bianca shouted.

Dorothy’s jaw dropped. “What? He’s never touched you? How is that possible? You are always together and you stay in the Royal Mansion.”

Bianca’s head sank in her hands as she felt like passing out.

“Why won’t he touch you? Are you stopping him? You can’t be saving yourself, right? That’s foolish!” Dorothy questioned frantically when she realized that Bianca had given up the chance to someone else. It was no wonder that Anthony kept going back to Anne, he was just a man, after all.

Bianca listened to Dorothy and could not summon the strength to argue. She felt both exhausted and frustrated.

‘I’m saving myself? As if!’ She thought.

She had come to realize that Anne had satisfied all Anthony’s urges and a man who felt no hunger would not budge even when he was presented with the most delicious meal.

“Just think of a way to sleep with him. If you time it with your ovulation, you will get pregnant in one go,” Dorothy suggested.

Bianca ignored her, as all she could think of was how she could make Anne suffer.

“Do you hear me?” Dorothy asked, “I will help you…”

Just then, Bianca’s phone in her purse started ringing.

“Go on, look at it! Maybe it’s Anthony,” Dorothy urged.

After confronting Anthony, Bianca did not want to upset him and made a call to him two days later, telling him that she would forgive him. After all, all she cared about was that she would marry Anthony in the end.

She took out her phone and noticed that it was a call from her assistant.

Dorothy was disappointed as Bianca picked up the phone. “I won’t be going over later. We will talk later.”

“I found something important when I was organizing your mailbox. Do you want to take a look?” The assistant said.

“What is it?”

“Um…I think you should see for yourself,” the assistant said hesitantly.

Bianca hung up and opened her email inbox to find a paternity test result.

She was familiar with the format of it after seeing it a few times before, the only difference was that she saw her name with Nigel’s and the results written at the bottom right corner had caught her by surprise.

“What is this?”

“What’s wrong?” Dorothy asked.

“What’s this?” Bianca showed Dorothy her phone.

Dorothy paled and immediately turned Bianca’s phone off. “Who on earth would do something like that? It has to be Anne. She’s trying to get revenge from what we did before.

Bianca was confused and thought to herself, ‘Is it really Anne? But what’s the point, when she already has the inheritance? Something isn’t right…the will… I’ve never understood why Dad left her everything, when they are supposed to be mine. Dad raised me and has always cared about me, so why would he leave me with so little? It almost looks as though he only gave me money out of pity.’

 

Chapter 799

“Tell me the truth. What’s going on?” Bianca confronted Dorothy. “Are you and Dad hiding something from me?”

Dorothy continued to deny it. “No. You can’t fall for Anne’s trick…”

“Fine. I’ll run a paternity test myself.” Bianca headed for the door.

Dorothy knew that she would not be able to argue with the results and that everyone would find out about it if she let Bianca run another test. She panicked and shouted, “Fine! You are not Nigel’s daughter!”

Bianca turned around to stare at her in disbelief. “Who’s my father, then?”

“I…I was raped. Shortly after I married your dad, I was out drinking and on my way home, someone…”

Bianca could not stand to think that she could be the daughter of some beggar.

“Bianca, I’m a victim, too. I didn’t want this to happen. When you were admitted to the hospital, your blood type didn’t match up and your dad went to look into that. I was too careless, or this wouldn’t have come into light.”

“Who else knows?” Bianca questioned.

“No one. I didn’t tell anyone. Only your dad knows. I won’t let that affect your engagement with Anthony.”

A thought popped into Bianca’s head and she gasped, “You can’t be the one who got Dad in that car accident, can you?”

“Of course, not!” Dorothy denied it, “I have nothing to do with it.”

“I remember that Dad insisted on divorcing you during that time,” Bianca said, realizing that Nigel must have been triggered by the discovery that she was not his daughter.

“That’s true. I’m mad at him for that and that he threatened to go to court, but I didn’t want him dead!” Dorothy argued, “Anthony looked into it, right? If it’s me, he would have found out about it by now.”

Bianca could not argue with Dorothy on that, but if it was truly an accident, it meant that even the gods were helping her.

She refused to let anyone know that she was the child of some unknown beggar on the streets.

Bianca grabbed her purse and headed out.

“Bianca, where are you going?”

“Leave me alone.”

“Please don’t be mad at me. You are the only one I have left,” Dorothy begged.

Bianca stood at the porch with her chin up and said proudly, “Of course. No one can bully us!”

With that, she left and headed to the hospital.

There was only a nurse in Nigel’s room, and Bianca chased her out because she wanted to be alone with her father.

She stood by the bed and stared at Nigel. “Dad, when are you waking up? Just look at what Anne is doing to me? Back when you were around, she would still hold back, and now? She is trying to steal Anthony away from under my eyes! So I am mean to her, but so what? Any woman would react the

same way as me if they were in my shoes. Everyone just thinks that I’m bullying her, but do you know what she’s really like in private? She said that with the triplets on her side, she is going to be the one who marries Anthony in the end. My heart just hurt so much…I feel so miserable…Dad, wake up…‘

She laid her head down on the edge of the bed and sobbed, before asking the nurse to look after Nigel and leaving half an hour later.

At night, Anne stayed the night in Sarah’s mansion. Ever since what happened to Nigel, she rarely went back to her apartment and stayed with Sarah most of the time.

She would occasionally bring the triplets over to visit. Overjoyed, Sarah woke up early to cook for them.

“Are you up? Breakfast is ready. Come and eat!” Sarah was visibly more energetic than before.

“I love Grandma’s food!” Chloe took Sarah’s hand. “But it’s tiring to cook. What if you get sick?”

“We will give Papa’s money to Grandma!” Charlie said.

“We will hire people to take care of Grandma!” Chris added. Sarah grinned from ear to ear at their words.

 

Chapter 800

Anne walked over, shaking her head with resignation at how sweet–tongued her children were.

“Grandma will never get tired of cooking for your mom and you guys. I have endless energy for that!” Sarah patted their heads endearingly.

Even if it was exhausting, all her hard work was worth it.

The five took their seats for breakfast.

“Mama, Grandma, can we go see Grandpa today?” Chloe asked.

“It’s been a few days!” Charlie said.

“We can go on our own as well!” Chris suggested.

“Sure thing. Why don’t you three come with us later?” Anne asked.

Anne took the triplets with her to the hospital and checked with the nurse on the latest update regarding Nigel’s condition.

She was informed that there was no change, but the nurse added, “That pianist came by last night.”

“Alone?” Anne asked.

“Yes. She left with her eyes all red. I guess she cried in there,” the nurse said.

Both Sarah and Anne remained quiet as they did not see any issue with Bianca’s visit. After all, Bianca was still Nigel’s daughter and it was normal for her to be worried about her own father.

After the nurse left, Sarah said to Anne, “People who care this much about their parents are usually good people, so how’s Bianca an exception to that? Sure, she’s afraid that going to steal Anthony from her, but that’s not your fault!”

you are Anne glanced at the triplets surrounding Nigel and said, “As if. I can go after anything, but not others‘ men. Whatever. I don’t want to be bothered by that.”

“That’s true. My daughter doesn’t need to steal someone else’s man. We have so many eligible bachelors after us that we need to take time filtering them,” Sarah said.

Amused, Anne started to giggle.

“Don’t stay here. Just go back to work,” Sarah said.

“I’ll take the kids back to the Royal Mansion. You can’t take care of Dad and these three at the same time,” Anne said.

“Sure. A hospital is no place for children, anyway. Send them back.

Anne sent the triplets to the car that came to pick them up, before returning to the office.

She sank into her chair and thought about how Bianca had confronted her at her new apartment. Perhaps that was the reason why Bianca had gone to talk to Nigel.

If Bianca had gotten into her apartment, she must have found out about Anne and Anthony meeting in secret and had to be extremely upset about it.

Just then, Anne’s phone rang. She glanced at the screen and answered the call. “Mom, what is it?”

“Anne…” Sarah muttered, before breaking into tears.

Anne’s heart dropped. “Is Dad…”

“I don’t know what’s going on. His heart just stopped out of the blue. They are trying to revive him right now. It’s going to be alright, right?” Sarah muttered helplessly.

“It’s going to be alright. Don’t panic. I’m heading over now!” Anne hung up and darted out of the office, before heading for the elevator.

How could this happen? Nigel was fine when she left?

Anne wondered for a moment if this was a good sign, as Kathryn had mentioned that a response was better than none at all.

When she arrived at the hospital, Anne hurried toward the operation room, just in time to hear Kathryn say to Sarah, “I’m sorry. He’s gone.”

Anne’s purse and phone slipped out of her hands as tears scrolled down her expressionless face.

“That’s not possible! No way!” Sarah shouted, “He was fine just now. How could he die? It’s not possible! I don’t believe you!”
