Chapter 842

Anthony's tall figure approached, looking down at her. “How long are you going to lie down likethis?”

“This is a place you hate. Why are you here?” Anne asked angrily.

Anthony sat down beside her, and his eyes fell on the urn on the coffee table.

"What do you want to eat?”

“I just want you to leave.” Anne did not want to see him.

Anthony got up, and instead of going out, he went to the kitchen, took out some food, and placedit next

to the urn.

He forcibly pulled Anne up.

"Go away!” Anne struggled.

Anthony pressed her against the backrest, approaching her coldly. “I want you to eat!”

Anne's breathing was weak, as she had not eaten all day.

"Anthony, it was you who killed my mother. It was you! You always thought it was my mother whokilled your mother. Now that she’s dead, you must be happy, aren't you? Can you stop botheringme?” Her tears rolled down.

Anthony's face tensed, and he said, “That's impossible!” He sat down, took the bow! on the coffeetable, and fed her himself.

Anthony's tough attitude made Anne lose control of her anger. She slapped the bowl away fromAnthony's hand. “Go away!” She got up and left.

With a sullen face, Anthony stepped forward, pulled Anne, and pressed her against the handrail ofthe stairs. "Your mother was murdered. Don't want to replace out the murderer?”

Anne looked at him absent-mindedly. “I... just don't want to see you here now. Is there anythingwrong with that?”

Anthony was startled, and his black eyes stared at her fiercely, looking dangerous.

Anne stared back at him numbly.

Anthony breathed heavily and said, “Come here.”

He grabbed Anne's wrist and dragged her to the kitchen.

Sitting at the dining table, Anthony brought out the food again and placed it in front of her.

“Eat, I'm leaving.”

Anne's gaze shifted from the food to Anthony's face, and she asked without emotion, “Are youafraid that

1 will starve to death? I won't starve unless I don't eat for three days.”

“Try not to eat then.” That was a threat.

He would stay here if she did not eat.

"Why do you have to force me? Why!” Anne exploded in anger. She stood up and swept all the foodin front of her to the ground. “I don't want to eat... Don't you threaten me. Get out. I don't want tosee you! I never want to see you again!”

She turned around and ran away crying.

Anthony's eyes flashed fiercely, and a black shadow flashed by Anne, approaching directly behindher. A strong hand pressed down on the back of her neck.

"Hmm!" Anne felt numb, her eyes went dark, and her body went limp.

Anthony caught her and went upstairs.

He gently put her on the bed and took off her shoes.

He went to the bathroom to get a towel to wipe her face.

Her face was streaked with tears.

Anne felt that she had slept for a long time because she had a long, long dream.

In the dream, she went back to her childhood.

Her aunt would come to see her every once in a while and buy her delicious food and beautifulclothes.

She liked her aunt the most.

Especially after her parents died, her aunt adopted her as her own.

The dream was full of her aunt's kindness to her.

Later, her aunt became her mother. Anne looked as if she could not accept it, but she was secretlyhappy.

The dream was beautiful, but the pillow was wet when Anne opened her eyes.

She sat up and saw her mother's urn on the dressing table.

She got out of bed, walked over, and held the urn gently in her arms. Her tears could not stopflowing.

“I regret it so much. Why didn't I stay home with you, knowing that you were emotionally unstablebecause of Dad's death? I shouldn't have... Mom, have you met Dad? Is Dad alright?” Anne criedbitterly.

There was a knock on the door, and the housekeeper walked in. Seeing Anne, who was crying whileholding the urn, she felt uncomfortable. “Miss, I made breakfast. Why don't you go down and havesome food?"

Anne did not have the energy to communicate with anyone now.

The housekeeper stepped forward. “You have to stop. Ma'am Vallois wouldn't want you to be likethis! Also, even if you don't care about yourself, what about the three children? You are also theirmother!”

Anne's tears stopped falling as if she was in a trance.

“The triplets would be very sad if they knew the grandmother who loved them so much had passedaway. You have to protect them,” the housekeeper persuaded her.

Anne wiped away the tears from her face and said, “I will not rest until the murderer is found.”“That's the right way to think about it. You can't let that bad guy get away with it. Last night, Mr.Marwood looked after you all night and left in the morning,” the housekeeper said.

Anne was expressionless.

“I'll bring the breakfast,” she said and left the room.

Anne stroked the urn gently, her voice was hoarse. “Mom, I will avenge you and Dad.”

The nanny took the food and went to the room.

Seeing Anne eat her breakfast with her own eyes, she felt relieved.

After leaving the room, she called out and whispered, “Mr. Marwood, Ms. Vallois has eaten.”“Look after her. Call me if you need anything.”

"Okay."

Anne stayed in the mansion for three days without seeing anyone, not even going to work.

Only the nanny accompanied her at home, and she would talk to her occasionally.

However, Anne was basically silent and always in a daze.

She did not need to call the police station to know that the murderer had not yet been found.Anne took out the mobile phone that had been turned off long ago in her bag to charge. It was notthe bugged phone that Anthony gave her.

After charging it to thirty percent, she could not wait to go out.

Did she think Lucas's girlfriend, Leta, was suspicious?

“Miss, are you leaving? The meal is ready.”

“I'm going out to eat.”

“Okay.” The nanny thought to herself if she could go out, that meant that she had calmed down.She took out her mobile phone and reported to Anthony, “Mr. Marwood, Ms. Vallois has left. Shesaid she went out.

for dinner.”

Anne remembered Leta’s address the last time Lucas accompanied her back home.

She did not know the exact building and room

Anne thought for a while, then called Lucas. “Lucas, are you busy?”

"Anne, did you replace Ma'am Vallois?”

*...1 found her.” Anne held back the tears in her eyes and said, “Principal, can you come out andmeet me?

I'm in a bad mood.”

“Okay, tell me where you are. I'll be right there.”
