Chapter 971


    The bulletsnded on the car door over her head, and the weight exerted downward pressure on her.


    Lilian clenched her jaw and hunched her back while her legs scurried.


    The Rolls Loyce pulled over, and Anthony came out of the car. He saw Lilian, who was not dead and


    not far away from him.


    He pulled out his gun, and aimed it at Lilian, then with a loud bang-


    “Ah!” Lilian was shot in the back, and blood spurted out.


    She rolled on the ground, and the car door dropped to the ground.


    Lilian then hid behind other destroyed cars.


    The helicopter hovered over. It would have to make a turn if it intended to shoot Lilian behind the car.


    However, the railing of the bridge was near.


    Lilian looked at the railing and thought that this was her only chance to live.


    She used all her might to run toward the railing.


    “Are you trying to run?” Anthony’s gun was once again aimed at Lilian.


    Lilian used one hand to support herself on the railing and then hopped over.


    At the same time, the bullets from Anthony’s guns flew toward her.


    “Ah!” All three bulletsnded on her.


    Marco finally climbed out of the car, but she had already fallen off the bridge.


    He dashed to the railing. Lilian had already fallen into the water and was nowhere to be seen.


    It was a big area of water, and the currents were strong. They might not even be able to locate the


    body if she was dead.


    The bodyguard said, “Mr. Marwood, she had been shot four times and would not survive, plus she had


    fallen into the water already.”


    Anthony tossed his gun to the bodyguard. “I leave the rest to you.”


    Then, he did not even look at Marco or the rest and left in his Rolls Loyce.


    Marco watched as Anthony and his associates left and could not help but sigh. “He has quite a good


    aim.”


    He did not expect to meet someone like that as soon as he got back to Luton.


    What was his fate?


    Ivan sat in the passenger seat and asked, “Mr. Marwood, what about… Marco York?”


    “His background, please.”


    Ivan then recited what he had found. “Marco is an Athetinian. He was the captain of the Crime


    Investigation Team there. He was transferred here because he offended someone. Mr. Marwood, the


    person that he offended was a Lloyd.”


    Anthony’s dark eyes stunned briefly. A Lloyd?


    “Not sure if it was Corentin Lloyd or Cory Lloyd.”


    “Not surprising.” Anthony recalled Marco’s mannerisms and was not surprised about that. “However, he


    has his strengths.”


    “Indeed, he was fearless in the trial room the other day. That is a rare case,” Ivan said.


    Anthony did not say anything more, and Ivan understood what he had to do.


    Anne was asleep at that time.


    However, she could not sleep deeply.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    During the day, she watched out of the window and zoned out.


    Even at night, she fell asleep eventually halfway through zoning out too,


    Therefore, when she heard heavy footsteps out the door, the insecure feeling was especially


    prominent.


    The footsteps paused at her door.


    Someone opened the door, and a person entered.


    Anne turned around on her bed, but she was not awake. Her forehead was frowning.


    The ck silhouette blocked most of the light in front of her, touching Anne’s hand. She sprang up.


    “Ah!”


    “Don’t fret. It’s me,” Anthony said.


    Anne looked at the man before her nkly. He was sitting by her bedside, holding her hand.


    She was stunned when she saw Anthony, who had not shown up for a long time.


    “I’mte.” Anthony touched her skinny little face gently and said, “I am here to bring you home.”


    ‘Here to bring you home…‘ Anne finally heard this sentence that she desperately longed for. Her eyes


    were warm, and her other hand immediately grabbed


    Anthony’s sleeve. She could not wait to be out of there.
