Chapter 111
Chapter 111 Anne could not bring herself to enjoy it and it felt as though she was stuck in her own world, unable to fit in.
‘Did Anthony bring me here just to watch them drink? He doesn‘t seem like the kind of guy who would do something this unnecessary.‘ She thought.
Lucas, on the other hand, was his usual self, well–mannered, casual yet charismatic.
“Why aren‘t you drinking?” Anthony turned to stare at her. His eyes were the darkest shade of black, which sent chills down her spine. She looked away and whispered, “Can I go home? I‘m not interested in this kind of scene.” She preferred to remain by her mother‘s side. “There‘s no rush. The fun is about to begin.”
She twisted in fear. Before she could ask what he meant by that, the door to the private room was opened and the bodyguard walked in. He bowed respectfully and said, “Mr. Marwood, they are all here.” “Okay.” Anthony shot the bodyguard a knowing look, and the bodyguard immediately exited the room.
Feeling increasingly anxious, Anne thought to herself, ‘Everyone‘s not here yet? Who else is coming? Does this have anything to do with me?‘
All she could think of was ways this could end badly for her. She looked up and accidentally met Lucas‘ eyes.
She shot him an apologetic look.
If it was not for her, Lucas would not have been involved with this, not to mention being involved in her lies about the children.
The door flew open once again and when Anne turned to look, she immediately froze. “Seeing anyone you know?” Anthony asked. Anne‘s body started trembling uncontrollably. How could she not? Before her were the man who had humiliated her in the past, Mr. Pat, Lennon and Mr. Moore.
“What...what are you trying to do?” She stuttered.
Anthony narrowed his eyes viciously. “To make them pay for what they did, of course.”
“Please spare me, Mr. Marwood!”
Mr. Moore fell to his knees and Mr. Pat followed, Lennon was the only one who did not seem to be aware of the situation. He was not accustomed to the elite society and did not know true power when he saw it. Anthony‘s ferocious glare scanned past Lennon, and soon all strength was drained from I annon‘s legs and he dropped to his knees as well. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Which hand did you use?” Anthony asked.
The three men shivered like leaves as they glanced at Anne, before reaching one of their arms out,
Mr. Pat had touched Anne on the leg, and Lennon had slapped Anne on the face, before grabbing her wrist earlier that day. Mr. Moore‘s situation was worse because he had touched far more than her wrist.
None of them were foolish enough to think that this was merely a confrontation, it was about revenge. “Mr. Marwood, we...we didn‘t mean to. It..it was...” Mr. Pat said. “It‘s...” Mr. Moore shivered. None of them dared to say that they had acted on Anthony‘s order. Lennon remained silent because he did not take orders from anyone. He had merely fallen into someone else‘s trap and was unfortunate enough to be brought here for punishment. “Did I tell you to touch her?” Anthony questioned darkly. Both Mr. Pat and Mr. Moore fell into silence. Indeed, Anthony had not told them to touch her, but they had thought that it was hinted. “We won‘t do it again, Mr. Marwood! Please spare me!” Mr. Pat wailed.
Anthony shot his bodyguard a look and the bodyguard immediately darted forward with a dagger and stabbed Lennon on the arm without hesitation.
“Ughhh!” Lennon‘s scream echoed throughout the room.
Everyone inside the room had seen plenty of things in their lives before, but were still taken by shock by the gory scene before them.
