Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies novel Chapter 387

Chapter 387

Damian would not be foolish enough to do something, knowing that he would appear suspicious.

Anne wondered if Anthony had found anything and after what happened at noon, she could not quite ask him about it.

She had always been wary toward Anthony.

Anthony had kept his words for Nigel‘s sake, but she had broken the pack and allowed Anthony to touch her, so there might happen again and there would be no end to it.

Anne sighed with resignation and checked the missed calls on her phone to find that Nigel had called her twice around noon.

She walked out of the Archduke Group and called him back as she walked toward the subway station. “Dad, what‘s wrong?” “Did you go to work today?” Nigel asked. She subconsciously wanted to hide her track, but the fact that she did not go to work was not exactly a secret, so he would see right through her if she tried to lie.

“No.”

“Today‘s not a Sunday. Did you take leave?”

“I had a bit too much to drink last night during our company‘s gathering. My head is still hurting, so I applied for sick leave today. I just went to the office to take my purse and phone, so I didn‘t get your call.”

“I see.” Nigel paused and asked, “Did Anthony come looking for you?” “Why do you ask?” “I‘m just worried that he will bother you. You always keep everything to yourself.”

“I‘m fine. He won‘t come after me. Bianca is his fiancé, after all.” Anne did not know if Nigel truly cared for her, or if it was Bianca who was trying to learn more about the ight before through Nigel, so she cut to the chase. “Dad, did Bianca say something to you.

Nigel quieted down, and Anne immediately knew that he had called because Bianca asked him to.

“I don‘t mean anything bad. I just didn‘t want Anthony to get in between you two,” he said gently.

To Anne, the situation could not have been worse. She did not want to cause Nigel any trouble, but did not know how she could explain that she was drugged. “Bianca said that you spent the night with Anthony. Is that true?” Anne jumped in shock, uncertain as to how Bianca found out about the night before. “Why...would she say that?” “She said that you were drinking in the casino and left with Anthony. Tell me the truth, Anne,

is that true?” Anne stood by the side of the road and stared blankly at the traffic, unable to figure a way to respond.

In the end, she lowered her head to stare at her feet and lied, “...That didn‘t happen. Nothing happened between me and Anthony. Tell Bianca that I‘ve never wanted to steal anything or anyone from her. I just want to live my life.” “Okay. I believe you.” Nigel hung up and went back to the living room. Both Dorothy and Bianca were waiting gloomily as they looked to Nigel for answers. He sat down and said, “I asked Anne, and she said that she wasn‘t with Anthony last night.” “And you believe her? She‘s full of bullsh*t!” Bianca accused. “Yeah. Why would someone say that she was with Anthony if they didn‘t see them together?” Dorothy took her daughter‘s side. “Why didn‘t she answer her phone at noon if nothing happened?” Bianca questioned. “It has to be because she was otherwise engaged.” “That‘s not it. She got drunk last night and left her phone with the CFO,” Nigel explained. “She disappeared for the entire night and you are saying that it‘s all just a coincidence? Dad, you just believe her more, right? Do you not care about how I feel?” Bianca sobbed. Nigel‘s heart softened at the sight of his daughter crying. “Of course, not. When have I ever act like I don‘t care about you? How can you say something so hurtful?” “What exactly is going on?” Dorothy asked, “You can‘t just believe that Anne is innocent because she said so, right? Nigel, you can‘t blame us for doubting her. After all, she had done this before.”

“If you have proof, I will confront Anne,” Nigel said, “Anthony had made me a promise, and I trust that he won‘t break it.”

“He did, but what if some woman tries whatever she can to seduce him? Dad, you and Mom have just gotten to know Anne and you don‘t know what she is capable of. She used to plant herself in the Royal Mansion shamelessly. You can ask any of the servants the mansion if you don‘t believe me!” Bianca said. “It‘s in the genes. I‘m not surprised,” Dorothy said sarcastically.
