Chapter 108


    Chapter 108 “Mr. Newman?” The officer was slightly surprised to see Lucas there. After all, Lucas was a


    Inown professional in the education industry and because the officer was of a higher level. he naturally


    knew about Lucas.


    Lucas nodded. “Miss Cheyenne worked at our school and we cannot escape the me when she


    encountered such a thing on her way back from school.”


    “If Mr. Lucas is willing to makepensation for the loss, you may proceed to discuss this with Miss


    Vallois here, okay?” The officer said.

    Anne immediately objected to the idea. “It‘s fine. This has nothing to do with the school. My mom got off


    work as usual and was taken away by my aunt. How could the school be to me in any way?” She


    turned around and looked at Lucas with blood–shot eyes with tears threatening to drop. “Thank you for


    sending me here, Mr. Newman. I won‘t take up any more of your time.”


    “...I‘m sorry for your loss.” Without another word, Lucas gave her a sympathetic look and turned to leave,


    but the police stopped him.


    “I remember something that I need to rify. What exactly is Cheyenne‘s role in the school? We saw


    from the surveince footage that she was with three children when she was leaving the school.” Anne‘s


    eyes widened in shock as her blood ran cold. Lucas turned around calmly and said, “She worked at the


    school canteen and asionally acted as nanny for some of the kids.” “I see. That‘s all I need to ask. We


    might need to check the surveince cameras on campuster on, we wish you could cooperate,” the


    officer added. “Of course.” With that, Lucas left. Anne sighed a breath of relief, grateful that Lucas helped


    to hide the identities of her children and even made it so that it would be hard for anyone else to be


    suspicious about it.


    She turned to look at Anthony and was instantly overwhelmed by frustration. “Why are you here? Can


    you leave?”


    His expression darkened. “Are you sure you are going to talk to me like this?” She lowered her gaze,


    tears welling up her eyes once again when she saw her mother‘s body.. Unable to bear the suffocating


    tension in the room, the police officers and doctors all turned to leave.


    Anthony darted forward and grabbed her by the chin. “I will let this slip this time!” Before letting her go


    and leaving as well. Anne stumbled backward and leaned toward Cheyenne‘s cold body in tears.


    “Mom...you said you were going to stay with me forever. Why did you leave me? What should I do? What


    about the kids? I can‘t do this alone...” Anne could not understand why the gods would give her a taste of


    the warmth of a mother, only to take it away from her shortly after. Everything happened in such a short


    period that


    she had forever lost the chance to be with her mother before she could spend much time with Cheyenne.


    She handled the cremation process on her own and returned to her apartment with the ashes. She set


    the urn onto the coffee table and sat on the floor, her tears had not ceased from the beginning as she


    struggled to ept what had happened.


    However, she still had three children to look after, no matter the pain, she had to white knuckle through


    it.


    She went back to the police station and Sarah was excited to see Anne.


    “Anne, trust me, I didn‘t kill anyone Why would I kill Cheyenne? Tell the police or talk to Anthony. I am


    being wrongly used!”


    “Then why did you go to my mom?” Anne did not wish to believe that Sarah was the culprit either,


    otherwise the shock alone might very well crush her. “I...I only went to warn her to treat you better. Is that


    wrong?” Sarah exined helplessly. “I dropped her off at the city garden and drove off!” .


    “Auntie, you need to tell me the truth...” Anne did not know what to believe, her only wish was that her


    aunt was not the person everyone suspected her to be. “Anne, I swear to god, I didn‘t kill her!” Sarah


    reached her arm out for Anne. “Someone is trying to frame me. You need to believe me.”


    “If it really isn‘t you, I‘m sure the police will let you out soon.” “What? I still have to be stuck here? I’m


    hiring awyer and suing them!” Sarah shouted in frustration.


    Anne exited the police station, feeling like she had been overthinking. No matter how much Sarah


    resented Cheyenne, she could not possibly resort to murder. No one would simply kill another person


    simply because they did not like someone. She refused to move or eat and sat dazedly at home like a


    statue.


    Anthony‘s Rolls Loyce was spotted outside her building and it seemed as though he had been there for a


    while.


    He lowered his car window and leaned back against the seat as he made a call. It took some time for the


    call to be answered and Anne muttered in a hoarse voice, “I‘m not in the mood for this right now. Can‘t


    you just leave me alone for now?”


    “Come down.”


    “Are you even human, Anthony Marwood?!” She sobbed.


    “I said,e down.” Anthony was slowly losing his patience. She wiped away her tears and saw all the


    story books and toys that belonged to her children before her. Without another word, she hung up. She


    carefully set the urn aside, covering it with a piece of fabric, before grabbing her purse and leaving. Anne


    strolled toward the Rolls Loyce parked in the distance, the bodyguard helped to open the car door and


    she instantly sensed the man‘s intimidating presence.


    She got into the car and it drove off.
