Chapter 369


    Chapter 369 She could only guess that he had been waiting for her.


    “You looked desperate, so I figured you were looking for me.”


    She pursed her lips at the realization that Anthony was onto her every move.


    ‘I thought he was in the meeting? Why would he know that I was walking back and forth to the


    bathroom?” she thought.


    Without time to consider, she blurted out, “Are you okay?”


    He sneered. “So you are here to pay your respect, hum?”


    Her eyes darted away. “I will cut to the chase if you don‘t want me to at least ask how you are doing. I


    wanted to talk to you about something... Can you restore my citizenship?” “Why?”


    Anne froze at his question. “What do you mean? The truth hase out, and we have nothing to do with


    your mother‘s death. Shouldn‘t you let us go already?”


    “Nothing to do with it, huh?” He stared at her with a mysterious look.


    “Yeah! It was your... Ron was the one who kept chasing after my mom, and she didn‘t ept it. Ron


    himself admitted to it! You can‘t just keep tormenting me over the same thing like you did before!” she


    exined frantically and took a step forward.


    “And that has nothing to do with her? If she had never existed in the first ce, none of this would have


    happened,” he said coldly.


    “Is that my mom‘s fault? Anthony Marwood, be reasonable!” Anne was driven mad that though she had


    finally found hope, it changed nothing in the end. “Your mother didn‘t die because of mine, and I have


    nothing to do with this. Ask anyone, and we won‘t be condemned from a legal or moral perspective!”


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    “Are you sure?” He leaned forward and grabbed her by the chin. “Without her, nothing would have


    happened. Besides, even if all of you were falsely used, I won‘t let you leave Luton.” “Wh...Why not?”


    Shocked, she muttered.


    “Why? Because you are naive.” He shoved her away with a cold expression and shut the door.


    The car drove past Anne and left the parking lot while Anne stood dazedly.


    ‘Naive? Yeah, I guess I was. I thought that I would be fine once the truth came out. In the end… Why


    exactly is this happening to me?‘ she thought.


    She was mmed into despair as she struggled to understand why Anthony insisted on making her


    suffer. She remained in a horrible mood for the rest of the day as she felt like she had been condemned


    to hell from heaven.


    Right before getting off work, she received a call from Nigel. “Anne, I contacted the interior designer, and


    I‘m kind of busy right now. Can you go have a look? Just let him know whatever you want.”


    “Why bother? I don‘t intend on moving in anyway.”


    “Why not? It‘s a secured area. What‘s the point of buying a ce if you are not going to stay in it?


    Besides, it‘s not like you can move in right away after the renovation. You will need to wait for a few


    months after that.” Unable to argue, she agreed, and Nigel gave her the contact number of the designer.


    She made an appointment to meet with the designer at seven because she had no time during the day.


    Anne went to the new house after having a meal with her children. The designer needed to measure the


    interior and show her samples of different designs. Unable to make the decision immediately, she took


    the samples back and agreed to call the designer once she had made up her mind.


    Once the designer and his assistant left, Anne got ready to leave and turned to nce at the night view


    outside the balcony.


    It was almost nine at night and the city view was enticing. Drawn to it, she walked closer to look, and the


    view was as beautiful as she had ever imagined. This was something that she had never dared to think


    of. She had seen simr views in the Royal Mansion and Lucas‘s apartment before, but the view never


    truly belonged to her. She gazed outside nkly before turning around to leave, only to stop right before


    she went back into the apartment. She snapped her head around and stared at the man on a lounging


    chair on the balcony across in shock.


    Doubting her own eyes, she walked closer to inspect. The balcony across was merely decorated with a


    few nts beside the lounging chair and the coffee table. There was arge piece of ss above the


    balcony to block out rain and sui yht. Anne noticed the apartment across as well, but she had not


    expected to see Anthony there, so she simply stared and gaped.
