Ch. 811..815: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 811-815
Chapter 811
“No,” Ashlynn answered without hesitation.
Corentin held her hand in the dark. “We went to the movies together before. Do you remember what movie it was?”
Seeing that he had changed the subject, Ashlynn was relieved and answered, “I don’t.”
“Romance.”
With the hint, Ashlynn was forced to remember the romance movie.
After finishing the movie and returning home, her adoptive parents were killed in the fire, and the house. was burned to the ground.
All she really remembered was Corentin’s ruthlessness while everything else had watered down and disappeared.
There was no love at all. She initially thought they were saving each other, but that life turned into a joke.
“In crime films, the criminals can never be the protagonist. That’s not morally allowed.” Ashlynn looked at the big screen. The criminal tricked the women into his house, then killed them, burying their bodies in his backyard.
“Indeed. The rules of the world are determined by the strong.” Corentin added.
Ashlynn remained silent.
He was right. Corentin was the ‘strong’, and Salvatore, who crawled out of the stinking sewer, was already’ dead’.
Hence, no one could do anything to him.
Ashlynn could not help but wonder how many souls were trapped in the crocodile pond at the back…
Walking out of the cinema hall, Ashlynn stood at the door, looking back at Corentin. “Is the death of Ms. Vallois’s father related to you?”
She still wanted Corentin to be sincere and honest.
“Didn’t I promise you that I wouldn’t kill people?” Corentin appeared normal. Then, he touched her face, saying, “You know I don’t kill people casually.”
That night, Corentin had Ashlynn under him again.
Ashlynn endured the disgust and accepted it.
It was as if Corentin had blood on his hands, and it was simply unbearable to be touched by him. However, what Corentin wanted were her focus and satisfaction. Otherwise, it would go on forever.
Ashlynn was sad and in pain, but she could not resist…
The next day, Ashlynn woke up tired.
She went to the sofa to get her bag, looking for the bottle of vitamin C inside. Yet, she realized that it was gone.
Ashlynn clearly remembered it was in the bag, and she did not take it out…
“Are you looking for this?”
Ashlynn was startled when she heard the hoarse voice. When she turned around, she saw Corentin holding the bottle of vitamin C, and she tried her best to hold back her panic.
Then, Ashlynn walked toward Corentin calmly. “Why did you take my thing?”
As she was about to take the bottle, Corentin opened it and turned it upside down.
The pills in the bottle all fell to the ground.
“What are you doing?!” Ashlynn anxiously picked up the small pills on the ground.
“You know I want kids, right?” Corentin’s voice sounded from above.
Ashlynn stopped picking up the pills. He found out…
Corentin squatted down, and the shadow covering her was a ferocious monster. Ashlynn felt her head lacking oxygen and suddenly slumped and sat on the ground.
Looking at the heinous face in front of her, Ashlynn asked, “You asked someone to follow me?”
“Do you still think I’m the old Salvatore?” Corentin stared at her sullenly. “Your every move is under my watch. Understand?”
Ashlynn looked at him timidly. “Is this the marriage you want? Even if I can’t leave now, you’ll still control me?”
“I’m protecting you,” Corentin said matter-of-factly.
“The scariest person is you!” Ashlynn retorted in a trembling voice. “No one will hurt me but you! It has always been that way!”
“You’re wrong. That’s me protecting you.” Corentin gently rubbed her face with the back of his hand. “No one can hurt you except me.”
Chapter 812
Ashlynn felt no tenderness, only eeriness.
The man in front of her was simply sick to the core!
“As I said, I want you to have my child. Don’t do this again, or I’ll be upset.” Corentin’s expression was gloomy.
His ‘upset’ was not losing his temper like ordinary people, but he would kill someone.
Ashlynn knew him too well.
“But…Elder Lloyd won’t agree to it.” Ashlynn made an excuse. She did not want to have Corentin’s child, nor did she want the child to have such a father.
What would happen when the child grew up? Would he be the same as Corentin?
That was simply terrifying!
“Don’t worry. He’ll surely want my child,” Corentin said, “because it’s what I want.”
The latter sentence was very strange.
Ashlynn did not dare to refute at all, and her body trembled slightly.
Corentin kissed her soft lips. “Don’t you think we’re like a couple who are rekindling their relationship? If we have children, it’ll be even better.”
Ashlynn closed her eyes in despair, clutching her fingers.
Anne sat in the office watching a video on the laptop.
It was footage from the hospital.
Anne kept watching the surveillance in the ward, and the woman with a mole on her mouth, wanting to look for other clues.
This made her unable to concentrate on her work.
Suddenly, there was a knock on her door.
“Come in.”
The one who came in was Cindy Sullivan, a female assistant she interviewed in the past two days.
Cindy was gorgeous and quick-witted. She was a secretary for five years and looked smart, but she lacked the comfort Ashlynn had.
However, Cindy was the most capable candidate among all, so Anne decided on her.
“Ms. Vallois, this is the purchase order from the factory. Please take a look and sign it.” Cindy put the document down.
Anne almost forgot about this because of Nigel’s death.
Anne skimmed through the document and found that the purchase was made from the same company, and there seemed to be no problem.
She signed it and said, “I’ll go to the factory in the afternoon.”
“Sure, Ms. Vallois.”
Anne took the car to the factory in the suburbs, which was expanded next to the original factory.
Mr. Walker was smoking and chatting with the factory manager in the shade. When he saw Anne, he pinched the cigarette and approached flatteringly, “Ms. Vallois, why are you here?”
“I’m here to have a look.” Anne glanced at the man who was talking to Mr. Walker just now.
Mr. Walker introduced, “This is the person responsible for delivering the goods to us, Mr. York.”
“Ms. Vallois, it’s nice to meet you!” Mr. York stepped forward to shake hands with Anne.
“Likewise.” Anne looked at the construction site in the distance; the air was filled with dust. “It’s progressing quite fast.”
Mr. York withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and he looked annoyed.
Mr. Walker secretly glanced at Mr. York, hinting at him not to get angry. Then, he replied to Anne, “Ms. Vallois, you’ve entrusted me with such an important task, and I’ll definitely live up to your expectations.”
“Work hard, and you’ll be generously rewarded in the future. Let’s go in and have a look.” Anne walked forward.
“Ms. Vallois, be careful. This way, please.” Mr. Walker led the way.
It was Anne’s first time here, so she went into the factory to look around. This was all her father’s hard work, and she hoped she could do her best to live up to his expectations.
Wherever Mr. Walker went, he would introduce Anne to the people there. After all, not everyone knew her.
Chapter 813
They only knew that Nigel was their boss.
Anne happened to be standing next to the platform. The worker standing on it was laying a wall, and he greeted Anne.
When the worker saw Mr. Walker’s hinting gaze, he immediately kicked out the steel pipe under his feet.
The steel pipe rolled down from above, aiming straight at Anne’s head.
Anne heard the sound and looked up, just to find the tip of the steel pipe falling straight to her face.
With this angle and height, the steel pipe could pierce directly through her face-
“Ms. Vallois, watch out!”
Mr. Walker’s reminder was too late. Anne realized what was happening, but her body froze as if it had not received the signal from her brain.
Something horrific was going to happen, and it was a matter of life or death.
Suddenly, a figure next to Anne jumped over, hugging Anne’s shoulders, and took her to the side.
Clink-clank!
The steel pipe fell to the ground.
Anne turned to look at Anthony, still in shock.
Mr. Walker ran over to show his concern, and he was a little afraid of the domineering Anthony. “Ms. Vallois, are you okay? That was terrifying!”
The worker above also kept apologizing, “Ms. Vallois, I’m sorry! I didn’t notice the steel pipe under my feet. I’m sorry!”
“Do you think an apology is enough?” Anthony’s face was so gloomy that it made others’ blood run cold.
If he were a step later, something terrible would have happened!
“I really didn’t do it on purpose. I’m sorry…” The worker knelt on the platform. “Ms. Vallois, please punish. me however you want!”
“Forget it.” Anne turned and left, heading out with Anthony. “Why are you here?”
“If I didn’t come, you’d be at the hospital now.” Anthony’s obsidian eyes were cold.
“Stay out of my business,” Anne said, looking at the wall that was getting higher and higher behind her.
“You’re not allowed to come here again next time. Let’s go!” Anthony forcefully dragged her into the Rolls Loyce.
Mr. Walker and others stood on the side of the road, watching them off.
The worker from before came over. “Mr. Walker…”
Mr. Walker was furious. “You’re so useless! You can’t even do this well!”
However, he called Bianca to report on this matter after that.
“What a piece of trash!” Bianca was incensed.
“I agree! But it was mainly because Mr. Marwood was here. Otherwise, she’d already be dead!” Mr. Walker said.
“Anthony was there?” Bianca was startled.
“Yes. The plan fell short at the last minute!” Mr. Walker thought it was such a pity because they were so close to succeeding!
Bianca was burning with rage, and her face was contorted with anger. “It’s fine. I didn’t expect it to succeed on our first try. If she’s not dead, she’ll have to suffer!”
Then, she directly hung up the call.
Mr. Walker had received some benefits from Bianca. Otherwise, he would not be so eagerly attentive.
The construction of the factory building itself was already a premeditated event.
Anne went back using Anthony’s car. In the car, she was sluggish, unwilling to say much.
Anthony stared at her and said, “If you don’t have energy, I’ll let someone watch over this area.”
“As I said, stay out of my business.” Anne appeared annoyed.
Anthony’s face darkened, feeling extremely irritated.
It had been a week since Nigel’s death, and she was still dispirited.
She could even become absent-minded when she was spending time with her children.
Anne’s brazen act of disregarding him made Anthony fume. “I saved you. Aren’t you going to say thank you?”
Anne was immersed in her own world as if she did not hear the threat behind his words. “I was wondering…who the hell would attack a comatose person, and what was the purpose?”
“…It’s not Corentin,” Anthony said.
Anne looked at him in surprise, but she quickly remembered the phone she had used, which was the one being monitored by Anthony.
She almost forgot about it.
Frowning in disdain, Anne asked, “When will you stop monitoring my phone?”
“With me, you don’t need privacy.” Anthony was completely domineering. Anne was so exasperated that she lost the energy to resist.
Chapter 814
“Corentin does everything with a purpose. Even if Mr. Faye woke up, it wouldn’t have affected his status as the heir.”
“Who the hell would it be? I just don’t get it.” Anne was distressed. “With Dad’s death, there’ll be a slimmer chance of me knowing anything that had happened between him and the Lloyd family. Or did Dad’s death have something to do with the Lloyd family? So, was it Cory? But he’s Cory’s son….is it possible?”
“That depends,” Anthony said, “it’s not uncommon for father and son to turn against each other.”
“You think it’s suspicious too?” Anne asked.
“Corentin has a surgical scar on his chest, and it’s probably to fool others,” Anthony said.
Anne was shocked by Anthony’s profound insights. “Was it to ensure Salvatore resembled Corentin more?
“Corentin himself had heart disease.”
“I didn’t find out about that.”
Just as Anne said that, she saw Anthony glancing at her, and she could not help complaining inside, “Yes, I’m not as powerful as you. Okay?”
“Only the Lloyd family members know that Corentin had heart disease. Outsiders are unaware of that. I’m guessing they brought Salvatore back to the Lloyd family because Corentin was dying.”
Anne also asked her doubt, “What type of heart disease? Could he not do a heart transplant? That’s not difficult for the Lloyd family, right?”
“That’s the problem. It’s not easy to check on this,” Anthony said.
Anne gave him a sideways glance. She really wanted to say she could not believe there was actually something a powerful man like him could not find out.
Anthony noticed Anne’s gaze. His heart tingled, and his gaze deepened. “How long has it been since you went to the Royal Mansion to see the children?”
“What? Don’t they often go to my mom’s?” Anne was confused.
Was it important whether she went to the Royal Mansion? After all, she was with her children anyway.
“It’s not the same.”
“What’s not the same?” Anne did not notice it,
“Stay at the Royal Mansion tonight,” Anthony said in a domineering tone.
“No way. I want to accompany my mom,” Anne replied.
Since Nigel died, Sarah had stayed at home all day, not going anywhere. It was as if she had lost interest in everything. Sarah would definitely find it hard if Anne was not by her side and she had to be alone at night.
“Mr. Faye was not her husband, so there’s no need for her to show such deep emotions,” Anthony said indifferently.
Anne was angry. “What are you saying? Why do you always have to target my mom?”
Anthony pursed his thin lips. “It’s the truth!”
Anne was furious. “That’s right. You’ve always been this way. Why would you care about my mom’s life or death? You think she deserves everything she suffered!”
When she noticed where they were heading, Anne became angrier. Then, she got up and shouted, “Let me get out of the car!”
Anthony’s expression was gloomy. He immediately pulled her onto him and grabbed her face so that she faced him. “Your temper is getting worse. Hmm?”
“My temper is still…mmf!” Before Anne could finish speaking, she was completely covered by the shadow. She did not even close her mouth yet, and her pitiful mouth was already completely taken over! Anthony kissed her until she lay weakly in his embrace before letting her go. Then, he stared intensely at her blushing face, rubbing the corner of her mouth with his rough fingertips as he asked, “Satisfied?”
Anne’s mind was blank. She shut her eyes, slowly regaining her consciousness. “Y-You’re such a b*stard!”
“I can be worse. Do you want that?”
Anne definitely did not want that, and she stared at him warningly.
The Rolls Loyce stopped at the entrance of the Royal Mansion.
In the end, Anne was still brought here.
Even if she were unhappy, she had no choice but to accept this arrangement.
Everything was for the sake of the children.
Indeed. It was different for the children being at the mansion or here. They were probably happier with both their Papa and Mama together!
Just as she accepted the fact that she was at the Royal Mansion, she looked up and saw the graceful Bianca walking out, and her expression sank. Then, she said to Anthony next to her, “It seems that I came at the wrong time.”
Anthony’s expression turned glum.
Bianca approached them with a smile as if nothing had happened. “Anthony, you’re back? Anne, you’re here too? Don’t just stand there. Come in!”
Anne’s gaze was indifferent. Bianca was talking as if she were the host, inviting the guest to come in.
“It’s fine. You two can go ahead. I’m leaving.” Anne turned around. She did not want to spend another
second here.
“Mama!”
“Mama!”
“Mama!”
Chapter 815
The three little ones ran out of the mansion, huffing when they walked down the stairs with their short legs.
Anne turned around. As if she had just remembered something, she said. “By the way, I’m bringing the children to my mom’s. I’ll send them back tomorrow.”
She could not care less whether Bianca was staying here or not.
Then, Anne carried the triplets into the car one by one in front of Anthony.
The triplets even looked out from the car window and waved at him. “Bye-bye!”
Anthony’s face turned really gloomy as he watched the car leave, and he was also exuding a terrifying aura!
Bianca asked gently, “Anthony, let’s go in. Let’s have dinner first, and I’ll play the piano for you after. I recently wrote a piece, and I really want you to listen to it. You’re the first to hear it!”
Now that Anne had left and even brought along the three noisy children with her, she and Anthony could enjoy their private time together.
Anne got out of the car, wanting to carry the children down. However, before Anne even did so, the three little ones jumped down one by one like penguins entering the water.
It was an extremely adorable sight!
“Grandma, we’re here!”
Sarah came out and saw the children. By children, it naturally included Anne, her own daughter. In an instant, her mood lightened.
“My precious!” Sarah hugged them. Then, she said to Anne, “I thought you weren’t coming. I was just about to call you!”
Anne originally thought of calling Sarah at the Royal Mansion to inform her that she would not be able to come for dinner so as not to wait for her. However, Bianca was coincidentally there, so she decided not to make the call.
“Bianca’s at the Royal Mansion. That’s why we come here, Grandma!” Charlie said fiercely in his childish. voice.
Anne did not expect that he would say that. After all, she thought the children would not understand.
She was completely exposed.
Sarah glanced at Anne, not saying anything but just pulling the children into the mansion. “I bet you’re all hungry. Let’s have dinner first.”
“Grandma, we should wash our hands first!” Chloe reminded her.
“Yes, you’re right. Let’s wash our hands first. I’m so forgetful!” Sarah replied cheerfully.
Among the triplets, Chloe was the fussiest during meal times. She was not only a picky eater but also did not like to eat much.
“Come on. You only have a few bites left. Be good.” Anne personally fed Chloe.
Chloe looked at Anne with her big, watery eyes, saying, “I’m full! If I get hungry tonight, I’ll drink milk.”
“You must have proper meals and drink your meal too. For the sake of her children’s health, Anne would
never give in to this.
She knew when to spoil her children and be strict with them when needed.
“Grandma…” Chloe begged Sarah.
Sarah chuckled. “Let’s just have a few more bites, okay? I’ll feed you.” Then, Sarah took the spoon from Anne, saying, “I’ll feed her. You should eat too!”
Seeing that Sarah and Anne were feeding her, Chloe had no choice but to eat obediently.
Charlie could not bear it and said, “I’ll help her eat those!”
Anne laughed, “Just eat yours!”
How could anyone help others eat? Anne could not believe Charlie would come up with that idea!
After putting the children to sleep, Sarah asked Anne, “What happened? Did you bump into Bianca when you went to the Royal Mansion?”
“I initially wanted to spend time with the children at the Royal Mansion. But, since she was there, I left.” Anne rubbed Charlie’s forehead, checking if he was sweating.
“You’re so fast to give up!” Sarah disapproved of Anne’s actions. “Even if it were for the children’s sake… besides, I also hope that you can have a family. After all, your husband and children are the ones accompanying you till the end of your life. I don’t want you to be lonely.”
“I’m fine as long as I have the children,” Anne said.
The triplets were her everything.
“The children are still young, but who can tell what’ll happen next? That Bianca is not a nice person!”
Anne’s heart was a mess when she heard those words. Suddenly, her phone rang. She glanced at it and blurted in surprise, “Anthony?”
“It seems that Bianca can’t keep his heart!” Sarah mocked.
Anne got up and answered the call in the room. “Hello?”
“Come down.”
Anne was stunned. “Are you outside the mansion? What’s the matter?”
“Do I need to repeat myself?” Anthony directly hung up the call.
Anne was puzzled. This was Anthony’s second time here, but what was the reason for him coming here. this time?
Anne walked to the car and leaned against the door, looking at the imposing man sitting inside the car.. Then, she glanced at him in confusion. “Can’t face Bianca?”
“If you can, why don’t you do it?!” Anthony directly yanked her into the car.
“Ah!”
