Half-way through the meal, Chloe wanted to go to the washroom.
Not wanting to trouble the nanny, Anne took her to the washroom and walked past another room on their way back.
A waiter happened to be walking out and Anne turned to look, only to be startled by the sight of Bianca and Michelle. She immediately picked Chloe up and hurried back to their room.
Chloe shot Anne a confused look. "Mama?"
"It's okay."
Once they were inside the room, Lucas noticed the odd look on Anne's face. "What's wrong? Saw someone you know?"
"Bianca and Michelle," she said, "didn't expect to see them here."
"Did they see you?"
"No. They were inside a room."
"There's nothing to worry about, then." Lucas scowled. "What a coincidence."
After dinner, Lucas went to drive the car around while the nanny took the triplets into the car.
Anne was the last to leave.
She stopped when she walked past one of the rooms and went inside.
The two women inside had thought that it was a rude waitress who came in, but were both immediately on guard when they turned and saw who came inside.
"How dare you show your face in front of me again, Anne?" Michelle was more hot-tempered, but Bianca was calmer.
"I have to admire you for being able to walk around like nothing happened even after finding out you can't be a mother!"
"What pathetic. A hen that can't lay eggs!" Michelle mocked.
Anne studied their smug faces calmly and said, "What will Anthony think if he finds out that the two of you have been plotting together?"
Bianca remained composed. "He will believe me, no matter what I do. Besides, acting against you isn't what he would define as wrong."
"If you really don't care, you wouldn't have lied, or do you want Anthony to know what a vicious woman you are?" Anne said, taking in the dark expression on Bianca's face, before turning to Michelle. "I still saw you here and there on television a while back, but you've completely disappeared, haven't you? I'm guessing that you two are meeting here because you haven't reached a consensus about this, right?"
Michelle looked away, because Anne was right. Bianca had not been able to fulfill her end of the bargain and simply brushed her off time and time again, saying that Anthony was still angry with Michelle.
Though Michelle was arrogant, she cowered before her superior and when Bianca was losing her temper, all she could do was stand aside in silence.
"Anne Vallois, how dare she come talk to me like that? She’s nothing but a homewrecker," Bianca gritted out, desperately wishing she could tear Anne into pieces.
"I hate her, too, but what is she here? Was she alone? Could it be that she was with..." Michelle purposely tried to provoke Bianca.
"That's not possible! Anthony is still in the Archduke Group."
"Bianca, just be more careful! Anne is really good at seducing men..."
Bianca hated nothing more than to hear others mentioning Anthony and another woman and would not tolerate anyone for doing so.
Michelle quieted down at Bianca's malicious glare.
"I am curious about who she came here with as well. Go get the manager," Bianca commanded.
'Damn it, am I your maid or something?' Michelle thought to herself angrily.
The manager came shortly after and Bianca said, "I want to watch the surveillance footage here."
