Chapter 20
Anne stopped and turned back to look at him with watery eyes.” I remember, thank you. I will take good care of myself. Also, the person who bought this clinic is...Anthony.”
Tommy jolted. “Him?”
“So, don't come here.” Anne looked away and walked inside.
Tommy stood there transfixed. He found it hard to accept.
If it was Anthony who bought the Aesthetic Clinic, then he was also the person in charge of the Archduke Group...
He would never have thought that it was Anthony. When did Anthony turn into the powerful person in charge of the Archduke Group...
The reason she told Tommy was to stop him from coming to this clinic that was controlled by Anthony. Also, she did not want Tommy to start a pointless fight as there was no point in fighting against the Archduke Group.
Furthermore, she did not want to put Tommy in a difficult situation. Once she managed to leave Luton, she would never come back again.
So what was the point...
Anne went to buy lunch in the afternoon. When she walked to the road...
"Anne!"
When Anne heard the voice, she turned over and saw Sarah, who looked in disbelief.
Anne saw her only relative. She wanted to cry but held back her tears. “Aunt...”
Sarah went forward and asked, “What happened? Why are you still here? If I didn't hear Tommy speaking to your uncle, I wouldn't know that you're still in Luton!”
“Sorry, aunt, I..."
"Was it Anthony? You left the party the other day because of Anthony. You're back because of him, right?”
Anne looked down. This was no longer a secret...
"You're working here? Come back with me! He won't be able to bully you!” Sarah pulled Anne into the car.
“Aunt, no..."
"Why not? He's not welcomed in the Marwood mansion. He won't be able to do anything!”
"Aunt, I can't ...” Anne had tears in her eyes. She held onto the door and did not want to go in. Sarah was furious but seeing Anne's tears, she softened. "With me by your side, he won't be able to do anything to you. However, if you're alone, he could do anything!”
“Do you know how powerful Anthony is?” Anne asked.
“I heard from Tommy, and we're all very shocked. It's terrifying to have someone like him control
Luton! So I can't leave you
alone! I will fight for you! Let's go!” Sarah pulled her again
“No, aunt, listen to me.”
"What else is there to say? You were so scared of him back in the Marwood Mansion. You ran away to get away from him. He's a monster.”
“I know, I know it. Aunt, why don't you let me deal with this on my own? If I don't, he won't leave me alone.”
"How do you want to deal with him? Would he listen to you?”
“Aunt, don't worry about me. I have a job now. Once I settle down, I will find a way.” Anne thought of how Sarah helped her to buy the tickets and almost got into trouble.
She dared not to put Sarah in danger again.
Sarah caressed her niece's face, “Look at your small face. You've lost weight. Anne, where do you live now? Is it good? Do you eat well?”
“Don’t worry, the place I rented was fine, don't worry about me.”
“Unless you want to sneak away by plane again? This doesn’t work. To be honest, I wish you would stay in Luton.”
Anne felt bad, and this was the only thing she could not agree with Sarah.
She had three kids away, and they were Anthony's children. She must not stay in Luton...
“That's it, then. Stay here, and we will come up with a plan. Hopefully, he will let you go.”
