Now as an adult, how long would she be locked up this time? Three days? One week? Anne did not want to fight back anymore. She got herself into this desperate situation because of her naivety. There was no food, no water, and not even a bed in the basement. She could only fall asleep against the door or the wall. On the first day, the empty stomach was bearable, but on the second day, it seemed that she was starting to get dehydrated. On the third day, Anne's lips were chapped, and it was already difficult for her to move her body, so she simply stayed still. She did not knock on the door to ask for help because she knew Anthony would not let her go; it would be useless to scream or shout. During the time Anne was detained, Tommy was looking for her everywhere. His calls went unanswered, and then he called Sarah. After knowing Anne's address, he went to look for her. Only then did Tommy know that she not only did not go to work in the surgery clinic and that she d
Tommy looked at Hayden coldly. "You're just a butler, aren't you? We are Anthony's family members. Are you sure you have the authority to kick us out?" Hayden stopped for a while, unable to speak. Tommy turned around and went inside. Hayden made a call immediately. Just before the call was made, Ron stopped him. Ron's attitude was still neutral, and he asked, "Is Anne imprisoned here?" Hayden looked uncomfortable. "No one can disobey Mr. Marwood. I advise you to leave now!" Anne was leaning against the door groggily as if she heard someone calling her in a trance. Was it an illusion? Why did she seem to hear Tommy's voice? "Anne? Where are you?" There was a knock on the basement door. "Anne, are you inside?" Anne's body trembled, holding on to her consciousness, as if she saw a glimmer of hope. "I… I'm..." Tommy was overjoyed to hear her voice. "Anne, I'm here, don't be afraid! I'm here to save you!" Anne did not speak. Her eyes brimmed with tears. She did
Anne's body softened and leaned against the edge of the sofa. She was unlucky indeed. If not, why would she be kept an eye on by Anthony… "You can't take her away. You can stay here if you want to die." Anthony pulled the trigger of the gun in his hand, and with a bang, the vase in the distance shattered— "Ah!" Anne screamed in fright. Turning her face, Anne saw that though Ron and Tommy were also frightened, they were not injured. "Guards!" Anthony's cold voice rang. The bodyguards came in from outside and stared at Ron and Tommy. "Do you want us to kick the two of you out of here?" Ron would not dare to fight back because he was obviously an underdog. Besides, Anthony was still his son. How could he get physical with his son?Tommy was unwilling to leave Anne here. Anthony would torture Anne to death if he left her here. As soon as Tommy turned his face, he met Anne's eyes, motioning for him to go. Tommy did not want to leave! "He won't let me die. Don't worry.
Anne staggered back. "Can you hold a gun? Can you fire one? Want me to teach you?" Anthony pressed down on the trigger. "Ah!" Anne put her hands to her head in fright, and her legs gave way. When she came to her senses, she did not feel any pain because the bullet did not hit her. "Get out of my sight, or I will fire the second shot," Anthony said indifferently. Anne turned around and walked out of the hall. A car was waiting outside, and she got in the car. The car had been driven away for quite a distance, her body was still shaking. She was in great trauma and needed enough time to recover. Returning to her apartment, she closed the door and smashed a chair while roaring, "Anthony, you lunatic! You lunatic!" When she was twelve years old, Anthony was less scary. At least he did not have a gun! That was not the case now. What did he want to do? Murder someone? If he really killed someone, what could others do? Nothing! No one would ever dare to investigate h
The next day, Anne sent a text message to Tommy and her aunt to tell them she was safe, lest they worried. Actually, Anne did not really want to go to the surgery clinic anymore. 15 days of work without pay was not really something she was very enthusiastic about. However, if she did not go to work, it might cause Anthony's suspicion. Going to the surgery clinic, Lucia saw Anne and sneered, "Finally get to see you, do we? What a long period you had!" "Yes, it's over." Anne played along. "What a delicate lady! Well, you probably want to take leave every month now! I don't know why the company wants to keep people like you. Even our supervisor was fired because of you!" Lucia said and turned away. Anne's beautiful brows wrinkled slightly. Why the hostility? She knew her actions meant trouble for the company. If everyone asked for leave when they were on their period, it would be a mess. That was the only excuse she could think of though. In the evening, Tommy drove the
Just as she went down the stairs, a middle-aged woman carrying fruit passed by. Anne turned around in shock, stopping in her tracks. The woman went up the stairs slowly and did not seem to notice anything unusual. Anne breathlessly looked at the woman's back in a daze. Was that… mom? No way! Wasn’t her mother dead? But that woman just now... Was it her own delusion? When the woman walked up the last flight of stairs, Anne came back to her senses in shock and hurried to catch up. Following behind the woman, she arrived at the door of a certain apartment complex. The complex was very old, and there was not even a decent doorman. It was not until she took out the key to open the door that the woman felt something was wrong and turned around. When she saw the girl's face, the woman looked flustered. The fruit bag in her hand fell, and the fruit fell everywhere on the ground. Anne had tears in her eyes. "It's really you..." However, Cheyenne refused to admit it a
"No! Mama will definitely come back!""Let’s wait for Mama!"Chloe's cute little mouth pouted. "Really? But… it will take a long time for Mama to come back..."The two boys stopped talking. They knew it would take a long time. Today was only the fourth day.As the eldest one, Charlie thought of something; his eyes sparkled as he uttered, "Mama's not coming back, so I'm going to find Mama!"Chris did not say anything. He seemed to think that the plan was actually doable, and his face began to turn red from excitement.Chloe peeked out from her quilt, big eyes. "Really? But Mama is so far away, Nancy said… she… is in… in Lu…""Luton!" Charlie answered."We need to fly there!" Chloe's eyes lit up. However, she felt frustrated and uttered, "How are we getting there?"Her two brothers were silent.Chris said, "If we follow some strangers, we will definitely get to Luton!"The eyes of the three cute children were bright like stars.They started to plan their trip to Luton with a
"It's a big city. You’ll like it after you get there..."The three kids’ eyes lit up, and they immediately followed the couple to the security checkpoint.This way, they would definitely be able to find their mother!When they got in line at the security checkpoint, the person in front thought they were the children of the person behind. The person behind thought they were the children of the person in front…"These three children are too cute!""The triplets are so good-looking!""So cute, I want to pinch their cheeks..."Not to mention the passers-by, even the security guards thought they were cute.They were mesmerized by the children's adorable looks.They let the security guards do a security check on them.After the security check, Chloe said aggrievedly, "A young lady just pinched my cheeks...""Mine too!""Same here!"In the waiting room, the three of them found a row of seats and waited quietly for the plane.Ten minutes later, the three little ones got on the pl
