Chapter 101 Meanwhile, Tommy and his father were having their dinner.
His father, Damian, complained relentlessly, “Ever since your grandfather knows that Anthony is taking over Archduke Group, he now favors Ron over us! If this goes on, the entire inheritance of the Marwood Family would fall upon Ron‘s hands and there will be no place for
us!”
Tommy simply continued to eat without a word.
Damian stared at his son and was increasingly agitated. “You have never been as good as Anthony. No matter what subject it is, your grades have always been lower than him. If only you excel in anything at all, you wouldn‘t be this good–for–nothing in our family!”
Tommy did not waver at the insult as he was used to being compared to Anthony. He simply wiped his mouth with a piece of tissue paper and said, “Even if you get to inherit everything owned by the Marwood Family, you still won‘t get to do whatever you want here in Luton. What‘s the point?”
“It‘s still better than nothing!” Damian was enraged by his son‘s lack of ambition. “Back when Ron disowned his son in order to marry Sarah Vallois, we all thought that it was over for him! Who knew that Anthony would come back? Look at Ron right now. Anthony won‘t admit that Ron is his father, but Ron is still benefiting from his son‘s achievement!”
Not at all affected by his father‘s rage, Tommy asked, “I heard that something happened two days ago?”
“I think Sarah abducted Anne‘s biological mother and Anthony‘s men went to look for her. Hang on, doesn‘t Anthony hate Anne? Why was he helping her? When have they become that close? Am I not getting something here?” Damian was confused by the situation.
Tommy did not answer his question directly. “Why would Sarah abduct Anne‘s mother?”
“What‘s so odd about that? Sarah hasn‘t given birth to any children, and she probably won‘t. Having a niece by her side is better than nothing. Judging from how selfish she is, she obviously wouldn‘t tolerate the competition of Anne‘s actual mother.”
Tommy narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, before pushing his plate away. “I’m full.” Early in the morning, Anne was depressed because she could not find any way to conceal the red marks on her neck as she stood before the mirror. She did not have a habit of putting on makeup, so she did not have anything like concealer.. After giving it some thoughts, she reached up and pinched the reddened area, before twisting... “Ow!”
She jumped at the pain, but did not stop until her skin turned purple. When she arrived at the Aesthetic Clinic, Lucia was shocked to see the bruise on her neck.” Anne, did you get hurt?”
“I fell and bumped onto the corner of the table.” “That sounds dangerous.”
Anne had turned the red mark into a bruise so that no one would think of it as a love bite.
“Hey there. I heard you were on leave again. It‘s a shame you didn‘t break your neck, huh? That way, you will never have to come to work again.” Zelda mocked.
Anne simply ignored her. Shortly after she had started working, Michelle found her way to the Aesthetic Clinic. At the time, Anne was still checking Anthony‘s location with her phone inside the restroom and was relieved that he was still in the Archduke Group.
Michelle barged in and when Anne saw Michelle walking in, she immediately put her phone away.
“I heard you called in sick again, where were you?” Michelle noticed the bruise on Anne‘s neck, but did not associate it to a love bite. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Why should I tell you anything?”
“Did you go after Anthony again? Who would have known? You are really your aunt‘s best student! You knew that Anthony is meant to marry me in the future. Do you really want to go up against me?”
“Is he really going to marry you?” Anne questioned.
“My parents have met with him a couple of times now trying to set us up. Are you not going to believe me until the day we actually get married?”
