Chapter 287

Oliver immediately started driving once she got into the car. He glanced at the rear-viewing minor

and saw the depressed expression on Anne's face.

"Mr. Marwood will get to the bottom of this,” Oliver said.

"I imagine that Bianca would have nothing to do with this by the lime he's done.” Anne stared

outside the window. She had not expected to get anything out of this from the moment she

stepped out of the hospital.

"You are different to Mr. Marwood," Oliver said.

"Your consolation only makes me feel worse," she said with a cold look on her face. "Don't speak for

him. I know just what kind of a man he is, better than anyone else.”

When Anne arrived home, she collapsed onto the couch and felt as though she had reached her

limit both physically and mentally.

She remained in a horrible mood until Sarah came to visit.

"Why do you look worse? Did you even rest?" Sarah asked.

"I was watching television,” Anne said

"You were watching television, instead of resting? I told you it's bad to live on your own and you

refused to listen.”

"I'll stop."

Sarah continued to lecture Anne and she listened half-heartedly. Sarah was still trying to convince

Anne to stay with her, but failed again in the end.

After Sarah left, Anne wanted to see the children, but was worried that she might scare them in her

current state, so she laid down on

the couch to take a nap, only to be woken by the sound of the door opening.

A shadow loomed over her slim frame and the tension in the air rose. She instinctively tensed at the

familiar yet frightful presence like a prey before its predator.

She moved backward and glared at the man before her warily like she was facing a demon. "..What

are you doing here?" She questioned with a trembling voice.

"Can't you go to sleep on the bed?"

"Have you come here to inform me that you've investigated the incident?” She questioned as

though she had not heard him at all. He tried to get closer and she jumped away. "Don't touch me!"

She hurried off the couch and watched him from afar like a frightened animal.

He scowled and stared at her sharply. "The doctor said he never saw the person who bribed him and had only

spoken to her on the phone.”

She glared at him with amusement and retorted sarcastically, "Do you really think that your pianist goddess is

as innocent as you thought before? Or do you think that I've made everything up by myself?"

“Michelle has admitted that she was the one pulling the strings, so she will pay for it."

For a man as sharp and alert as Anthony, Anne knew that it was impossible for him to be unaware of what was

truly happening.
