Chapter 774

"What... What else can you do apart from forcing yourself on me?”

“I can make you beg for mercy,” he mumbled in a hoarse voice with his lips pressed against herflushed cheek.

She refused to listen to him and closed her eyes.

“If you agree to come back tonight, I'll let you leave.”

"Why do I have to come back?” she scowled.

He let her go and turned to head into the room. “The medicine's effect hasn't worn off.”

“What? Still? You have to be joking! Even if that's true, why don't you go to Bianca?” she yelled afterhim.

“I don't want to hurt her.”

Anne stilled and bit her lips as she glared at the towering figure before her with a dark look on herface.

“That's right. He's been drugged and doesn’t want to hurt Bianca by accident, so he turns to mebecause I deserve to be tortured to death!’ she thought.

Without another word, she turned and left the apartment.

Anthony narrowed his eyes when he heard her slamming the door shut and thought, “She's stillquite energetic if she can throw a tantrum like that. I shouldnt have held back. It's fine, though. Ican save it for tonight.”

Anne returned to the office and sat down, feeling like her body was falling apart.

She had to struggle through the discomfort throughout her body to leave the apartment. She couldnot help but compare Anthony to a wild beast.

In a few minutes, someone knocked on her door, and she immediately straightened her back.

Ken walked in. “Here you are, Ms. Vallois.”

“Yeah. Did the others arrive in the morning?”

“Mr. Stahl and Mr. Allen are back, but Ms. Thompson isn't back yet.”

"She's still in Athetin?” Shocked, Anne asked, “Why did she stay behind?”

“I heard that something was wrong with the contract, and Corentin needed her to fix it. Since Ms.Thompson worked for us, she knows what's going on and won't make any mistakes. That's why Mr.Stahl and Mr. Allen came back first. Your belongings have been sent here as well,” Ken explainedbefore glancing at the couch.

Anne had left some documents, her purse, and her phone in Corentin’s mansion. She nodded andasked, “I assume there's a lot of work piling up in my absence?”

“Yes.” Ben handed the documents in his hands over to her. “These are the receipts of the factoryconstruction.”

Anne glanced through them. “Are these all?”

Wess

She would have to look past the surface and run calculations and comparisons with the cost alongwith the expenses such as salary for the construction workers. Since she had worked in the financedepartment before, she was familiar with the task and would be able to replace out if everything wasright.

Just as she was speaking to Ken, the door slammed open. Anne looked up and found Bianca staringdown at her arrogantly.

“You don’t welcome me? This is my dad's office. You are just borrowing it. Don't think that it'syours.” Bianca turned to Ken. “Get out.”

Ken glanced at Anne.

"Why are you looking at her? Are you ignoring my order? Have you already forgotten who I am?How forgetful, Mr. Winston!" Bianca questioned sharply.

“You may go, Mr. Winston,” Anne said and turned to stare at Bianca coldly after Ken left the office.“What are you doing here? To emphasize who you are?”

“When did you come back?”

“I'm not aware that I have to report to you.”

Bianca stared at her in contempt. “I just don’t want you to miss out on the most recent developmentand misjudge the situation to think that you are important. Anthony was drugged last night, and heslept with another woman. Here I thought you were special. I guess not,” she mocked viciously.Anne listened expressionlessly. “Well, I'm no one. You are his fiance, the future Mrs. Marwood, sowhy didn't he go to you? Judging from how you are showing off, one would have thought he wentto you.”

“That's because he cared about me too much and didn't want to hurt me!”
