Chapter 847

Dorothy wanted Anne to die, so not only did she not let go, but she also increased her strength witha grim expression on her face.

Ashlynn hit Dorothy in her ribs, and Dorothy let go. Her ribs hurt so much that she grimaced. “Whoare you!

“Ms. Vallois, are you okay?” Ashlynn pulled Anne up.

Dorothy and Bianca recognized Ashlynn and knew that she was initially Anne's assistant but laterleft the company for some unknown reason.

Seeing Ashlynn's back turned on her, Bianca picked up the vase next to her and was about to throwit

Anne was startled, “Be careful!”

Ashlynn’s eyes flashed sharply. She stepped sideways and, at the same time, hooked her foot onBianca's ankle.

Bianca, who was holding the vase, fell forward. “Ah!”

The vase shattered.

The fragments cut Bianca's face, “Ah!”

“Bianca!” Dorothy hurried to help her daughter. After helping her up, she noticed a long wound onBianca's face, with blood flowing from it. “Blood...blood..."

Bianca touched the wetness on her face, looked at the blood on her fingers, and screamed. Her faceturned pale with fright. “My face! What's wrong with my face?”

She spent millions of dollars on her face every year to keep it pretty!

“I will take you to the hospital now!” Dorothy pulled Bianca away, not forgetting to turn to threatenAnne,” You just wait. I will tell Anthony about this, and he will punish you!"

Anne watched Dorothy and Bianca leave in a daze without speaking.

“Ms. Vallois, are you okay?”

“I'm okay.” She saw Dorothy protecting her daughter and thought of the fact that she did not haveher mother’s protection, and felt agitated and uncomfortable. She calmed down and asked, “Whyare you

here?”

“Corentin came to your company to tell you about something, but he didn't see you. Ms. Xavier toldhim that something happened to your mother, and it's been a few days since you went to thecompany,” Ashlynn said.

“My uncle didn’t come?”

“No, he was busy with other stuff. I came first. Ms. Vallois, you have to take care of your health. Yourcomplexion looks very bad. I didn't expect such a thing to happen to Ma'am Vallois. The murdererwill definitely be found,” Ashlynn said.

Anne nodded. “I'm fine... By the way, Anthony will definitely look into Bianca's facial injury, I'll takethe responsibility, so you have to stay low.”

“How can I do that? I was the one who did it in the first place.”

"If it weren't for me, this wouldn't have happened. For the sake of the children, Anthony won't doanything

to me, don't worry.”

The housekeeper secretly called Anthony and told him everything that happened there.

Anthony's brows furrowed. She had just met with Lucas, and now she had picked a fight with Bianca.She had not learned her lesson.

Someone knocked on the office door.

“Enter!”

When Oliver entered, he felt Anthony's coldness, so he walked over to him with tense nerves, tellinghim. the result of the investigation, “Mr. Marwood, I went to investigate. Ms. Vallois met Lucas in themall, and then Ms. Vallois went to a public school. Coincidentally, Lucas just went to the school topick up Leta. Leta is the blind date that Lucas's mother arranged for her. Ms. Vallois met Lucas againyesterday, and Leta went there with them not long after.”

There was a storm in Anthony's black eyes. “In other words, she met Lucas three times!”

Oliver put the paper with Leta’s photo on the desk. “Mr. Marwood, this is Leta’s photo.Coincidentally, there is a black mole next to the corner of Leta’s mouth. I don't think Lucas was theperson Ms. Vallois wanted to meet.”

Anthony looked at the woman in the photo, and there was an obvious mole on the corner of hermouth. “What a coincidence. The suspect is Lucas's girlfriend.”

"Yesterday, after Ms. Vallois and Lucas separated, they went directly to the police station. I went toask. She was indeed checking on Leta,” Oliver affirmed.

Anthony threw the paper aside and pinched the center of his brows irritably.

He lost control of his temper because of this matter today and violated her.

The phone on the desk rang.

Anthony glanced at the incoming call, and he looked calm.

“I will leave.” Oliver finished speaking and left the office.

Anthony answered, and Bianca's cry came from the speakers. “Anthony, I'm hurt...”

After Bianca hung up the phone, she looked at her face in the mirror, becoming more and moreanxious.” What should I do? Will my face be disfigured? If I turn ugly, Anthony will not love meanymore! No, no, this cannot happen!”

Dorothy comforted her, “No, you are beautiful, and you will be fine soon!”

The massage armchairs were delivered to Anne’s house today.

Anne initially bought them because Sarah's spine felt uncomfortable, but now she was no longerthere. The delivery person was telling her how to use it, but Anne was not listening.

Ashlynn sent the delivery guy away. “Ms. Vallois, don't be too sad...”

Anne came back to her senses. “Why do you still call me Ms. Vallois? You are no longer my assistant.You can just call me Anne.”

"Okay."

They heard the sound of a car engine outside.

Anne thought that Anthony had come to replace her and wondered why he was so quick to do so.Ashlynn walked to the door and took a peek. Her expression changed, and she walked over andsaid, " Corentin is here.”

Corentin walked into the living room and saw Anne's pale and tired expression, and said, “I've heardabout. your mother. Is there anything I can help with?”

“No.” Anne shook her head.

She did not really want the Lloyd family to get involved. After all, she still did not know what secretsthe Lloyd family was hiding.

The Lloyd family's attitude toward her father was enough to make her feel uncomfortable.

“Can you explain what's going on with your leg?” Corentin asked.

Anne looked down. There was a deep bruise on her calf, the skin was torn in the middle, and it wasred.

She had no idea when that occurred.

Corentin looked at their dodging expressions with cold eyes. “Tell me what happened.”

"When I came, Dorothy's mother and daughter were bullying Anne, and I tripped Bianca over, andshe scratched her face,” Ashlynn said.

“It's none of her business. The accident happened because she helped me. Moreover, it was Biancawho wanted to throw a vase at us, and the fragments of the vase scratched her face when it hit thefloor. She was the only person to blame. If Anthony asks about this, I will say that I was the one whocaused it, and it has nothing to do with you,” Anne said.

Corentin sat down on the sofa, crossed his long legs casually, and said, “What are you afraid of?Your parents are gone, but you still have an uncle. I'm still willing to help you. By the way, have youhad dinner yet? I haven't.”

“The housekeeper is cooking dinner,” Anne said.
