However, she immediately recovered. "Do you think it will really help you even if you record me? Anthony said
he believed me, so save it! You don't know me and what my family means to Anthony. You sure are daring to Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
try and move against me!"
"You are out of line. You were the one who slipped seafood into my food, and now it's my fault? Bianca,
haven't your family taught you what it means to respect others?" Anne mocked.
"Who are you to comment on my family? I'm telling you this now, Anne, this is not over! We will see who wins
in the end!" Bianca hung up with a twisted smile on her face.
Anne had not found out that there was a deformed child growing inside of her, and Bianca looked forward to
the day she found out.
Anne put her phone away and thought to herself, 'What a crazy woman!'
A honk startled her, and she turned to see Xander's car, so she hurried down the stairs and opened the car
door to get inside.
"Why are you still here, Director?" She buckled up.
"We came together, so naturally, we need to go back together."
"Thankyou, Director."
Along the way, Anne was suddenly reminded that Xander had heard every detail of her conflicts with Bianca and felt uncomfortable. Perhaps Xander knew about her and Anthony, but it was different from having him hear everything.
Anne tried her best to stop herself from caring and thought to herself, ‘It's already happened, anyway.'
"Director, does Bianca come from a really powerful family or
something? Must be a great family to raise such a talented pianist, right?" she asked.
"Her father is a businessman, and her mother is an opera singer. They have lived overseas for most of their lives, and so it didn't come as a surprise that they raised such a talented pianist. Nature and nurture."
'They must be a happy family of three. The perfect parents and their only daughter. Bianca is probably that wilful and selfish because she has parents who love her,' Anne thought.
"I heard that the Faye Family had helped Mr. Marwood in the past, so he takes care of Ms. Faye," Xander added.
'That explains his boundless tolerance for her, then. Forget recording. Even if Anthony walks in on Bianca admitting to what she did, 1 guess I will just make a fool of myself,' Anne thought.
"Sorry for all the drama."
"It's fine. I would admire a man like Mr. Marwood as well if I were a woman," Xander commented carelessly.
Annoyed, Anne immediately retorted, "Who admires him? I am forced into this mess!"
"Oh."
Anne had a strong feeling that Xander had misunderstood. After that, no matter how hard she tried to explain
herself, Xander simply listened half-heartedly.
Bianca had not caused any trouble for Anne ever since Anne managed to counter her lies, but Anne realized
that it might just be the silence before the storm. As for Anthony, he seemed to have stayed away from her as
well.
Anne was occasionally required to follow Xander to the Archduke Group to meet Anthony, but it had always
been for work, and they would leave immediately after the meeting like she was just another employee.
Tommy had to travel overseas frequently to oversee the progress of his mines, so Anne rarely saw him in the
Marwood Group anymore. On the other hand, Lucas was busy managing the Pinnacle Academy and his
investment with Tommy's project, but he would still give Anne a call from time to time to check on her or ask
her out for meals.
They had resumed interacting like friends, and neither had suggested a relationship again.
The triplets lived freely at Lucas' apartment and would stay with Anne when she was not working. She would
even take them out for picnics during the weekends.
This was exactly the simple life she had ever wanted, and Anne eagerly hoped that every single day of the rest
of her life could remain so.
