Chapter 382
Eventually, he let her go and Anne panted blankly, feeling as though all the air in her lungs were squeezed out.
“This guy is an insatiable beast!‘ She thought, before asking, “Can I…can I get up now?”
“There’s no hurry.” He stared at her like a hungry animal.
“Are you trying to kill me?” Unable to stand it any longer, she questioned angrily at how boundless Anthony’s lust was.
Anthony lifted her face by the chin forcefully. “Relax. I’ll let you live.”
”
The phone outside rang, and Anthony got off of her to answer the phone.
Anne hurried out of bed, knowing very well that it was far too dangerous for her to stay and that she needed to leave.
She noticed the phone on the coffee table since her last visit. Nowadays, no one would own a landline phone anymore as everyone has their own smartphone.
Even for a place as enormous as the Royal Mansion, all the servants were using their phones as well.
So who could possibly be the one who called the landline phone instead of Anthony’s personal number?
Anthony picked up the phone and Oliver’s voice came through the line. “Ms. Vallois is currently thought to be missing right now. Master Tommy searched the entire casino last night and was livid when he didn’t find her.”
Anthony remained silent.
“Ms. Vallois was with Master Tommy when she ran into you, Mr. Marwood. I heard that he was the one who rescued her. There were a few men by the pool who were harassing her, so I felt that something wasn’t right,” Oliver continued.
“How can it be right when she’s drugged?” He narrowed his eyes coldly. “Look into it.”
“Yes.”
Anthony set the phone down and turned to stare at Anne, who had already stepped out of the bedroom.
Feeling like he was staring right through her, Anne pursed her lips.
She had heard every single word from the conversation. She knew that she was drugged, but did not know who it was.
‘Anthony is looking into it?‘ She thought to herself. ‘Why…‘
The next day, Anne did not show up for word in the Marwood Group.
Damian was worried sick and called Xander a few times in a row, but Anne never appeared in
the office.
“Even if I trust you, there’s no point. You have to convince Anthony.”
“I know. You have to talk to Anthony for me.”
“You are his uncle. It‘s better if you talk to him in private,” Xander suggested. “Of course, I would, but if you help me out as well, it would just act like insurance. I appreciate it. I‘ll buy you drinks next time!” Damian said.
Xander listened casually. Damian headed out of the office with a dark expression and proceeded to call Tommy as soon as he returned to his own office. “What is wrong with you? Why didn‘t you tell me Anne was drugged?” “Did you do it?” Tommy asked.
“Of course, not! Everyone seems to think that I did it, though!” Damian refused to be accused of something he did not do.
“Don‘t panic. I think Anthony might have taken Anne away with him.”
“Him?” Damian stopped pacing for a moment. “Are you sure?”
“You can keep searching if you don‘t believe me.” Tommy hung up rudely, as he was in a terrible mood.
Anthony had taken Anne away while she was drugged; Anne did not return to her own apartment, nor had her name appeared in any hospital, so it was obvious what those two had gone off to do.
Tommy wanted to call the Faye family and leak the information to Bianca, but his contempt for Bianca prevented him from doing so.
Even if Bianca found out that Anthony was sleeping around, she would only try to hurt Anne in secret
He gave up, but narrowed his eyes fiercely, determined to find out what had happened on his own.
