Chapter 99


    Chapter 99 She had not expected Anthony to continue looking into it. “Why was Anne looking for you at


    the school?” He questioned, “Was she there for you, or for something else?” Anne bit on her lip and


    nced at her mother nervously.


    They definitely could not tell the truth, or they would all be dead.


    Anthony did not bother looking at Cheyenne; his eyes remained fixated on Anne when he was asking the


    question and waiting for the answer.


    Anne struggled to breath under the pressure, and started to feel dizzy from the shortness of breath, so


    she had no opportunity to give her mother any hint at all.


    “I...I wanted to work for the school and cook for the children,” Cheyenne said in fear, not knowing if she


    had said the right thing.


    Anne remained expressionless, but was relieved at Cheyenne‘s response. Anthony looked away from


    Anne‘s face andmanded, “Hayden, sent these two back.” With that, he turned and left.


    “Yes, sir.”


    Anne and Cheyenne went back...and neither dared to say anything because the driver worked for


    Anthony


    Cheyenne noticed the red marks on Anne‘s neck and felt horrible.


    As soon as they arrived at where Cheyenne lived, Anne immediately asked, “Mom, are you alright? What


    happened? Where have you been?”


    “Your aunt called me over,” Cheyenne shuttered.


    Anne immediately sensed that something was wrong. If her aunt had simply invited her over, why did not


    Cheyenne answer her phone?


    “Auntie is mad at you? But why?”


    “She thinks that I shouldn‘te back because I abandoned you before...I can understand why she


    thinks that, Anne. I was wrong back then.” Cheyenne did not tell the truth out of concern that she would


    upset Anne.


    “It‘s in the past. I will talk to my auntter.” Anne was at a crossroad with her aunt and mother on different


    sides, she could only resort to trying to settle their conflicts.


    Cheyenne hesitated for a while, before finally asking, “You and Anthony Marwood... what‘s your


    rtionship with him?”


    “What do you mean?”


    “Your neck...” Cheyenne could not help but ask.


    Anne came to a realization and tugged at her cor, but there was no hope in concealing them. She still


    remembered what Anthony did to her the night before, how he was as crazed as a


    starving beast.


    “Did you go to him for help to look for me and in exchange, you...”


    “No. It has nothing to do with you. I went to the school to pick up the kids and he caught me,” Anne said


    sheepishly. “He forced himself on you?”


    Anne was not sure what to say. She was forced, but at the same time, she did not want her mother to


    worry. “It‘s not as bad as you think it is. We had kids together anyway, I don‘t really


    care...”


    Cheyenne frowned “Mom, don‘t worry. I‘m fine.”

    Cheyenne did not know if Anne was truly alright, but simply wanted to know why her daughter seemed


    so tired,


    “That was a close call just now. If you answered wrongly, apart from me, even the principal will be


    involved in this mess.” She changed the subject. “That was the only reason I could think of. Luckily, he


    didn‘t find out about the kids,” Cheyenne said.


    Anne had her lunch at Cheyenne‘s ce, before returning to her own apartment. She turned on her


    phone to check on Anthony‘s location and saw that he was in the Archduke Group.
