Chapter 170
Chapter 170 Sarah stepped toward the door hesitantly but did not go inside. “Anne, I‘ll let you rest, then. I‘ll be on my way.” By the time Anne came outside, Sarah was gone, and the card was sitting on her coffee table. She stared dazedly at the card. Anne did not resent Sarah. She cared for her ‘aunt‘, after all; she simply wasn‘t used to considering her as her mother‘. In the end, Sarah was still her mother, and she could not bring herself to hate her when she herself was a mother of three as well.
Her phone inside the room started ringing and disrupted her sulking.
She got up to find her phone and realized that it was a call from Tommy. She did not want to answer, but he refused to give up and kept calling until she picked up.
“What do you want?” she answered in frustration. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
“I heard you lost your job?” Tommy drawled. His tone was an odd balance between mockery and sympathy. Before Anne could respond, lie continued, “Come to work at the Marwood Group!” “What? No way,” she refused without hesitation. “Why not? I can give you a relaxing job where you can come in late and go home early to take care of your kids. Where else can you find a job like that?”
She pursed her lips at the question. Anthony was a member of the Marwood Family, and he owned part of the shares of the company. If she worked there, she was bound to run into him, and she did not have a deatlı wish.
Tommy saw right through her thoughts and said, “Anthony never really cared about the shares Elder Marwood gave liim, and he has never shown up in Marwood Group so far. You are not there to be some top–ranked manager; you are just going to be a normal employee. No one will notice you, and you don‘t exactly have a choice.” Anne‘s expression darkened, and she hung up immediately.
‘He is trying to blackmail me with the kids! What should I do? I am desperately trying to get away from Anthony, and I would kill to be as far away from him as possible. What would he think if he found out that I work in the Marwood Group?” she thought.
However, Marwood Group was located a distance away from Archduke Group and there was a high chance that he would notice her amongst all the other employees in the office. All things aside, Anthony did not want the share for Marwood Group to begin with and had only accepted it out of respect for Elder Marwood, so Anne did not doubt that Tommy was telling the truth when he said Anthony would not appear in tlie Marwood Group office.
She tried to convince herself because she did not want Anthony to find out about the children. After considering it for ten minutes, she grabbed her phone and called Tommy. “I’ll do it.” “That‘s a good gir...”
Before he could finish, she hung up again.
“Good girl?! I wouldn‘t go if you weren‘t blackmailing me!‘ she thought to herself. Anne stared outside the balcony, her eyes slightly hurting from the sunlight that pierced through.
She wondered if she would be able to find out more about Cheyenne‘s death if slie remained close to Tommy.
She had to find out.
After sending her children off to school in the morning, she received another call from Tommy and stepped onto the street to find a black Lanborghini outside. ‘He is so flashy,‘ she thought as she got onto the passenger‘s seat. Along the way, all the other cars moved out of their way out of fear that a scratch on the expensive car would cause them everything they owned. “What will I be doing?” She turned to look at him. “My personal assistant.” “What?!” She straightened her back in shock, and the seatbelt
instantly tightened on her, outlining the curves on her chest and around her waist. Tommy could not help but pause for a moment when he glanced over.
