Chapter 781


    Anne walked out of the building and saw the ck Rolls Loyce parked in the distance. She hesitated


    for a moment, before walking over.


    She had survived this far by the side of this devil, so she figured that she would not get killed simply


    over her recent discovery.


    The car door opened and Anthony’s superior height was still obvious despite the fact that he was


    sitting, his intimidating presence oozing out of the tiny space of the back seat, and Anne tensed in


    response.


    She nced at his face, before getting in and settling down on a seat that was furthest from him. She


    noticed the phone in Anthony’s hand and mumbled, “You brought my phone? Thank y-” She reached


    out for it and immediately felt pressure around her waist as she was dragged over. “Ah!”


    She fell toward him and was immediately embraced against his body, the burning temperature of his


    skin transferred to hers through the thinyers of fabric between them as her soft body collided with


    his.


    Anne flushed and tried to get up, but Anthony simply strengthened his hold on her waist.” What do you


    want?”

    “Satisfied with what you heard? Hm?” Anthony stared into her eyes dangerously.


    “I…I didn’t mean to. I just went back to take my phone,” she exined gingerly.


    Perhaps any exnation would seem like an excuse to Anthony.


    Anthony pinched her chin and stared into her soul as he uttered, “If I touch her, I won’t have as much


    energy to torture you.”


    Anne froze as she tried to process his words.


    ‘So, he isn’t sleeping with Bianca because he wants to reserve all his strength to torture me? Just how


    obsesssed is he with torturing me?‘ She thought.


    She recalled his never–ending control over her and all the insanity he hadmitted, and realized that


    it was possible.


    Anthony studied the shock on her face in annoyance. “How much longer are you going toy on me?”


    Anne came to and hastily got out of the car with her phone.


    The car door closed behind her and she watched as the Rolls Loyce disappeared into traffic, thinking to


    herself, ‘Like I wanted toy on you! Unbelievable! He’s probably in a hurry to sweet–talk Bianca.


    Bianca must be very upset, after all!‘


    Anthony returned to the Archduke Group and sank into his chair. Unable to focus on work, his


    expression darkened.


    He was the almighty Anthony Marwood and he did not need a reason or excuse toy his hand on any


    woman. His only exnation to himself on his behavior was that he was not done with Anne yet, and


    did not want to be distracted by Bianca.


    That was all.


    Anne suddenly remembered about Ashlynn after getting her phone back, and tried to call her, but there


    was no answer.


    She proceeded to call Corentin. “Uncle, is Ms. Thompson there? She hasn’t been answering my calls.”


    “She left her phone in my office. I’ll let her knowter.”


    “Are things not settled yet? I would have thought that everything should be done by now,” Anne said.


    Ashlynn should not have to stay back for two days and if there was a situation, Ashlynn should have


    contacted Anne.


    “Anne, will it be alright for you to give me your assistant?”


    Shocked, Anne asked, “Uncle, do you need an assistant?”


    Corentin leaned back on the couch and stretched his legs. “She’s good.”
