Chapter 781

Anne walked out of the building and saw the black Rolls Loyce parked in the distance. She hesitatedfor 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 simplyover her recent discovery.

The car door opened and Anthony's superior height was still obvious despite the fact that he wassitting, his intimidating presence oozing out of the tiny space of the back seat, and Anne tensed inresponse.

She glanced at his face, before getting in and settling down on a seat that was furthest from himShe noticed the phone in Anthony's hand and mumbled, “You brought my phone? Thank y-" Shereached 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 ofhis skin transferred to hers through the thin layers of fabric between them as her soft body collidedwith his.

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

Perhaps any explanation 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 asmuch 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? Justhow obsesssed is he with torturing me?’ She thought.

She recalled his never-ending control over her and all the insanity he had committed, and realizedthat it was possible.

Anthony studied the shock on her face in annoyance. “How much longer are you going to lay onme?”

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, thinkingto herself, “Like I wanted to lay on you! Unbelievable! He's probably in a hurry to sweet-talk Bianca.Bianca must be very upset, after allt’

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

He was the almighty Anthony Marwood and he did not need a reason or excuse to lay his hand onany woman. His only explanation to himself on his behavior was that he was not done with Anneyet, 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, butthere was no answer.

She proceeded to call Corentin. “Uncle, is Ms. Thompson there? She hasn't been answering mycalls.”

“She left her phone in my office. I'll let her know later.”

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

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