Chapter 869

She did not know why she threw up. Did she eat too much in the morning?

Back in the office, she sat on the chair and took out a paper-knife from her drawer. Then, she slidthe blade across the perfect skin on her arm.

"Hmm!" Anne bit her lips and endured.

Only then could she feel better emotionally.

The phone on her table rang, and she looked at the caller to replace it was Lucas.

She answered, “Hello...”

"Anne, are you okay?”

“I am at the office, don't worry. I am fine.”

"You were brought away suddenly. It would be weird if I am not concerned.” Lucas did not tell herthat he did not sleep the whole night.

“Mr. Mewman, please don't feel too sad, even if I happen to be dead,” Anne said.

“What are you saying? Don't curse yourself.” Lucas

frowned.

"Are you superstitious? Everyone will die eventually.”

"You are still young. This is too early.”

“We have to face death sooner or later...” Anne sounded

pessimistic.

“You should think about the kids’ growth, their cuteness. Other people do not have this luxury. Thekids do not wish to see you unhappy too,” Lucas was concerned that she would do somethingstupid.

“I know, Mr. Newman, I need to make a move now.”

Anne did not seem to be in the mood.

"Alright, just call me if there is anything.”

Anne hung up.

She was reminded about her father. Her father would say the same thing to her too. “Call him ifthere is anything.’

However, she never did so.

Was it because she was too disappointed in her father back then?

Perhaps the disappointment was better than Anthony's

abuse.

It was close to noon when Anthony appeared at the office.

and entered her office.

Anne took one glance at him with very little reaction as

she continued to stare at her computer screen.

It was not that she did not feel like working, but she could

not focus.

It was as though her brain was no longer in her control...

Anthony walked to her work table and picked up the mobile phone that was placed next to her.It was the one that he gave to Anne.

“It seems that you don't even care to hide it from me now.

Anthony looked down at her coldly.

Anne knew that Anthony overheard her conversation

with Lucas.

Otherwise, he would not be here.

It seemed that she had no problem provoking him every single time.

“It was a normal conversation. It will only be a problem if I hide that from you,” Anne explainedcalmly.

She was making sense too.

Whatever she talked about, Anthony would know about it

anyway.

Anthony pinched her jaw, his eyes full of malice. “Don’t you dare to be in touch with him anymore,do you understand?”

Anne looked at him, stunned. “We are just friends.”

“Do you understand me? Don't!"

“It's only a phone call. Why are you overreacting?” Anne looked at him intensely.

It was weird.

If this had happened back then, when Anthony's eyes were full of malice, she would always feelterrified deep down, no matter how hard she tried to stay calm.

However, she did not feel the slightest hint of fear.

It was as though whatever Anthony did to her did not

matter.

Anthony was flustered. Why was his reaction so strong?

It was because he wanted full control of Anne, the feeling of not having control flustered him!“Do you really think Lucas is a good person? He deliberately brought Leta to you to get yourattention and to get close to you. Looks like he understood it well enough that the person whodrugged your father had a mole by her lip,” Anthony snickered.

“Whatever he wants to do has nothing to do with me.” Anne was not budged.

"Getting close to you is relevant to you!” Anthony's eyes were malicious.

“So, what do you want to do to me?” Anne asked him calmly.
