Chapter 177
Chapter 177 Anthony stood tall coldly and listened to the sound of Anne talking on the phone. The elevator door opened, and he strode out. The other two followed closely as though none of them knew Anne.
Anne gazed up at the number display on the elevator and muttered, “Huh? Why did it go up?”
She pressed the button for the ground floor once again and informed Lucas of her location before waiting by the stairs in front of the lobby.
She could not bear to stand for too long from the dizziness and sat down on the stairs with one hand under her head as she stared at the neon lights afar.
That very moment belonged to her. There was no need to think, and it almost felt as though she was in a world where Clieyenne had not died and Anthony was not there to threaten her. Where she did not have to worry about someone finding out about the children, and Tommy was not trying to control her.
Inside a private room of the restaurant, a few people gathered for dinner, and Bianca had excused herself to answer a call. When she came back, she whispered into Anthony‘s ear,” There‘s something I need to take care of. I probably won‘t be able to stay with you. Raincheck?
“Go ahead. I will drop you off,” he said tolerantly. “It‘s okay. I will get the hotel to call me a taxi.” Bianca proceeded to say goodbye to the others before leaving
The dinner was arranged to introduce a few people to Bianca in preparation for her piano show. Even if she had to leave early, no one dared to protest, seeing how Anthony was there They were more than happy to know that they had a chance to work with Anthony
Anthony glanced at the food before him that was barely touched and completely lost his appetite, so he got up and left the room while Oliver stayed behind to keep the others company
Meanwhile, Anne was about to fall asleep on the stairs when a black car stopped before her.
The driver got out of the car and dragged her into the car roughly.
“Huh? What‘s going on?”
As soon as she was inside the car, it took off. She had seemingly forgotten she was waiting for someone as she leaned back against the seat. “Did I call a taxi?”
She proceeded to give the driver her address before falling asleep.
Not far away from the lobby, Bianca saw everything that had happened from inside her car, and her hands tightened around the steering wheel. The dark expression on her face was a sharp contrast to her enticing features.
So Anne became Anthony‘s lover during the time when I was gone?‘ she thought to herself. In comparison to Michelle, Bianca found Anne‘s presence more threatening. She knew what the Marwood Family thought of Anne, but she had not expected Anne to be in a physical relationship with Anthony.
Lucas arrived at the lotel and circled around, but Anne was 11owhere to be found, so he resorted to calling her again.
The call was answered after a few seconds, and he asked, “Where are you? I‘m here.”
“She is with me. You can go now, Mr. Newman.” Lucas was stunned, and the call ended before he could respond. Anthony tossed the phone aside and shot an icy glance at Anne. Her face was flushed from her drunken state, and her features looked even more seductive under the shifting lights that shone through the window from the street. The temperature inside the car rose as the scent of alcohol filled the air.
When the car stopped, Anne woke up for a moment. “We are here? Hang on, I... I will pay with cash...” She reached into her purse and dug around, before finding a twenty–dollar bill and tossing it onto Anthony. “Keep the change.” Anthony‘s expression darkened dangerously. She stumbled to open the door but was pulled backward before she could succeed. She grunted when she fell against his chest...
