Chapter 173


    Chapter 173 She was about to suffocate when he finally let go. She dropped onto the cold, hard floor


    helplessly with her head bowed as she gasped for air, feeling as though she was one second away from


    dying from suffocation.


    He lifted her face by the chin once again, and Anne met his dark, cold eyes dazedly.


    “Enjoyed it, lub?” He uttered dangerously. “Should we continue?”


    She wanted to shake her head, but his fingers around her jaw stopped her from doing so. “I‘ve never


    meant to be involved with you. If you don‘t want to see me, just let me leave Luton. You know that I


    would kill to leav...Umph!”


    The crushing force around her jaw stopped her from continuing, and she whimpered in pain. “ying


    hard to get?” He sneered devilishly.


    She wanted to argue but understood how it looked for him that she had started working in Marwood


    Group.


    The tension was interrupted by the sound of Anthony‘s phone vibrating. He let go of Anne and nced at


    his phone before answering. “What is it?”


    His emotionless voice warmed slightly, which meant that it was a call from someone important. Anne


    instantly realized that it was from Bianca. She held her breath and froze in ce as though she had done


    something wrong. Bianca said something on the phone, and eventually, Anthony ended the call after


    saying,” Alright.” He lowered his gaze and looked down at her. “Stay here, and let‘s see how far you go!”


    His words cut into her like sharp des, and he left immediately after. Anne leaned against the sink


    powerlessly. The pricking pain on her lips reminded her of how close she was to death.


    She was relieved that Anthony did not order her to leave Marwood Group, which meant that she could


    stay. Otherwise, she would not know what to do with Anthony telling her to leave and Tommy telling her


    to stay. 1 ‘Those two will soon be the death of me!‘ she thought darkly. She waited until she managed to


    regain her strength to leave the washroom, only to be startled by a figure leaning against the wall next to


    the washroom door.


    It was Tommy.


    “Out so soon? I thought I would have to wait for a while!” he said suggestively, which meant that he knew


    Anthony had been inside. Anne remained expressionless. If he were suggesting that Anthony was a man


    who had issues in bed, there would not be a single man who would dare to im that they were capable


    in bed. She simply stared at him and asked, “Isn‘t this what you wanted? You got me here and promised


    me Anthony would not be here. What was that, then? His ghost or something?”


    “I was surprised, too. He had never shown up to any of the shareholders‘ meetings before. Who knows


    what he was thinking? Maybe he caught your scent,” Tommy suggested.


    Appalled, Anne turned to leave. Tommy returned to the office and found Damian waiting for him.


    All the shareholders were in the meeting room earlier, so everyone in the Marwood Family already knew


    that Anne had started working in Marwood Group.

    “Why is Anne Vallois in the Marwood Group? Did Anthony send her here as a spy? That has to be it!”


    Damian asked hysterically.


    Tommy had to admit that his father had the talent to be a screenwriter.


    “I was the one who referred her here.”


    “You? What do you mean?”


    “She lost her job. I offered her one, so she doesn‘t starve to death.” Damian was visibly agitated. “She


    has been sleeping with Anthony. Can you even tell if you referred her to thepany or if she


    approached you on purpose? You even gave her a position in the finance department!” “Did you take


    money from thepany?”


    Damian‘s eyes darted around. “What are you talking about? Don‘t make things up!” Tommy shot him a


    look and continued, “Anthony is head over heels for Bianca now, so he has nothing to do with Anne


    now.”
