Anthony was not trying to murder the man. He was merely making an example of her! Anne stood by the roadside, and she looked ahead with blurry vision. When a taxi drove past and dropped off a passenger, Anne went in without hesitation. After the door was shut, she quickly told the driver, "To the police station." The driver ignited the engine and started driving. Anne's hands on her knees were shaking. She wanted to seek protection. Even if she could not leave Luton, she had to expose Anthony's cruelty at least. The taxi pulled over in front of the police station, and Anne rushed out. The police station was still lit up as they were working overtime. Nobody seemed to have noticed her as she went in, even though she looked like a lost deer in the woods. Anne walked over to the office by the side, and she looked around instinctively. A moment later, she halted as her eyes were fixed on a certificate on the wall with a sharp red stamp. What caught her attention was the

After Anne had recovered, she went downstairs for food. It was no longer a feast of seafood but normal food. Furthermore, when she tried walking out of the Royal Mansion, nobody tried to stop her. It seemed that she was no longer restricted, and she could move as she pleased. Yet, she knew that this place was heavily secured, and she could not get away. Only with Anthony’s permission could she leave… One afternoon, Anne called for a taxi and went to town. Anthony was seldom seen in the Royal Mansion. This did not seem like his home, and nobody knew his daily schedule. However, even though she could not see him, Anne still felt that he was in control… She walked on the street by herself. She had been in Luton for over half a month, yet she had not been breathing the air as fresh as this moment. She looked up at the sun, and the glare caused her eyes to become teary. She wondered when she could leave. Anne stopped by the side and saw a cosmetic surgery hospital.

She moved in that night. She locked the door and lay down in bed. She slept peacefully that night, even if she had to wake up at midnight to video call her kids. This place was much safer than the Royal Mansion. After working in the surgery clinic for a few days, Anne was beginning to look like an ordinary working woman instead of an abused one. One day, after she finished her morning shift, she went into the toilet when her phone vibrated. When she saw an unknown number, she halted. She did not know who was calling and assumed it was Anthony. If it was him, she dared not answer. After unlocking her screen, she answered, "Hello?" "Anne, it's me." Anne was relieved. "Oh, what is it?" "I just got out of the office and will be passing by your workplace. Want to have lunch?" Anne instantly recalled the warning from Anthony, and she turned down, "Sorry, I still have work to do, and I don't feel like going out." "I see, that's fine. Get some rest. We will meet an

When the call was answered, Anthony glared at Anne with growing hatred. Anne breathed heavily, and her face turned pale. She looked as if she was in pain while overwhelmed with fear! She prayed that Anthony would not find out about their kids. No way! "Hello, Anne? Why did you hang up?" Nancy asked. Anthony did not seem to be pleased with this woman's voice. His eyes signaled Anne to speak. "I'm… fine. I'm about to go home! I was calling to let you know that I won't be able to come back anytime soon. I'll pay you back later…" Anne said with a shaky voice. "Oh dear, money is not important. It's just that my health is deteriorating day by day." Anne was shocked by Nancy's acting. "I will try to go back sooner, I…" Before she could finish her sentence, Anthony ended the call. "Give up on this thought!" He was not concerned about others' health. Anne compressed her lips and uttered, "When I was abroad, she took good care of me. She…" "Go!" Anthony cut her short as he

Tommy was speechless. "I don't want to see you mistreating Anne this way. She's innocent." "To me, nobody is innocent!" Anthony said coldly. Anne was pushed into a room, and the door was shut. There was no way for her to open the door. There was someone behind her. She turned back to see a fat man walking out of the bathroom. He had a towel around his waist with his bulging belly showing. When the man saw the beautiful lady, his eyes sparkled, especially as she was wearing his ideal costume. "I didn't expect them to have such beauty. No wonder the membership cost me five million bucks." Anne was shocked as she leaned on the door. "Don't… don't come here. I don't work here. I was kidnapped… Don't touch me." "Come, let me touch you…" The man was eager as he made a dive for her. "Argh!" Anne flinched and moved away. The man saw Anne hiding by the bed and became more excited. "Don't worry. I will pay you however much you want as long as you listen to me. You will have unlim
