Chapter 682

A darkness loomed over Anne like hell had been unleashed. She shook like a leaf, but stubbornly

maintained eye contact with Anthony.

Anthony suppressed his urge to resort to violence and glared at her. "Is a guy who is powerless to

save you from me worth your affection?”

Anne did not want to argue with him about this. He was no one to her and all she wanted was to

stay away from him. "Let me go."

"Did he touch you?" He lowered his voice. Before Anne could respond, he tore her clothes apart,

revealing her shoulder with no visible marks on it. "Where did he touch you?"

She bit on her lip wordlessly.

He grabbed her by the chin. "Do you not understand my question? Did he touch you?!"

She felt as though her jaw was about to dislocate, but refused to talk regardless.

Anthony's hand began shaking in anger. "Anne Vallois, acting stubborn with me won't do you any

good!"

"He hit me, then, just like..just like you did back in the hospital. My cheek was swallow for days after

that..." She muttered.

Anthony froze as he stared into her eyes, his grip on her jaw loosening.

"Or should I apologize to you, only for you to throw me out of the car?" Anne reminded Anthony of

all the horrible acts he had committed toward her, before chuckling with tears welling in her eyes. "I

don't understand what makes you think that I will listen to what you say. Do you take me for a

fool?"

He breathed heavily. "You were the one at fault!"

"Is that so?" She continued to chuckle, her tears scrolling down her cheeks. "Anthony, you can keep

the kids, so don't even bother threatening me with the kids. It won't work anymore.”

Anthony jolted in shock and tensed further. He had not expected Anne to behave this way, just like

how he had not anticipated her slapping him in the face.

"Are you threatening me?"

"I wouldn't dare.” Feeling all strength draining away from her, she laid beneath him and turned her

face away. "All I want is to stay away from the likes of you."

The frustration boiling in his heart drowned his senses as his expression darkened. "You want to run

from me to be with Lucas? Dream on!"

They arrived at a hotel and Anthony dragged her up to a room, before slamming the door behind

them.

He had already had a room ready in a different hotel with ease. Everything he did was simple, for

where his connection could not reach, his wealth could.

The rich had always been as mighty as gods wherever they went.

Anthony stared at her and unbuttoned his shirt with one hand. "We are staying here for one night

and leaving tomorrow morning. You've been out here long enough. It's time for you to go back.”

"I don't want to go home.”

"It's not up to you.”

"What exactly are you trying to do?" She held her tears back. "I'm a person, not some animal you

can toy with! You have Bianca so why can't you marry her and have your own kids? Why do you

insist on having me in the middle of you two? Are you so much of a pervert that you enjoy turning

the mother of your children into your mistress?"

Anthony continued to stare at her.

All he knew was that this woman belonged to him ever since she came into his world at the age of

twelve. It did not matter who she was, but he simply needed to possess her, no matter the cost.

"I..." Anne could not read his expression and was about to continue, when she was interrupted by

the vibrating noise from Anthony's phone.

Anthony took his phone out and glanced at it, before answering, "What?"

"Bad news, Mr. Marwood. Mr. Faye has been in a car accident!" Oliver said hastily, "He's been rushed

to the hospital, but it's not looking so good!"

Anthony scowled and turned to look at Anne.

Confused, she thought nervously, “Why is he looking at me? Is it related to me? Did something

happen to Mom and Lucas? Maybe they are panicking because Anthony took me away.’

"Send me the video." He said, before hanging up to look at Anne. "Mr. Faye has been in a car

accident. Do you want to go back now?"

She froze. "What? You- Are you lying to me? Anthony Marwood, you have to be sick in the head to

lie to me about this sort of thing!"

Anthony received a text message and opened it to show her the video of Nigel's car being crushed.

Anne hurried over to stare at the video, as she thought that Anthony was simply lying to her so that

she would follow him back obediently.
