Chapter 501

"Sometimes, we can't just arrest anyone you suspect to be the culprit,” the police officer explained with resignation. "Sigh. Sometimes, you have to know when to call it quits.”

The officer left and Anne remained frozen in place.

If she was only having doubts before, what the police said had confirmed that someone powerful in Luton had interfered with the investigation.

She could not be sure if it was Anthony, as Bianca was already empowered to do a lot of things as his fiance.

Anthony's helicopter did not turn back, so she went back to Luton on it again.

The helicopter stopped on the top floor of the Archduke Group and she went into the elevator to get to Anthony's office.

She almost bumped into Oliver along the way and though Oliver knew that Anne was traveling on Anthony's helicopter, he immediately went to stop her when he noticed that she was heading for Anthony's office. "Hang on, Ms. Valois..."

Without stopping to knock, Anne had barged inside and Oliver's heart sank as the door flew open. Anthony and Bianca were sitting inside and the two were clearly in the middle of a conversation, which was interrupted by the person who came in.

Anthony scowled and stared at Anne sharply.

Bianca's expression darkened, but she immediately contained her temper and asked, "Anne? What are you doing here?"

Anne froze, not expecting Bianca to be here. She noticed that Bianca's eyes were red as though someone had wronged her.

Oliver went into the office and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Marwood. I couldn't stop her."

"You want something?" Anthony asked.

Oliver stepped outside and closed the door behind him.

Anne tried to regain her composure and decided to pretend that she didn't know what had happened. "The police in Santa Nila have found the man who bribed the driver into running my mom over. I heard that that man is from Luton and was working for someone. The police mentioned that someone powerful in Luton is responsible, and since you are basically the most powerful person here, can you help me look into this? I'll really appreciate it!" 1

Bianca glanced at Anthony. "There's no need to look into it. I know who did it."

"You do?" Anne asked.

"It's my mom. She did it in the heat of the moment. That's what I've been talking to your brother-in- law about. My mom acted recklessly, but it's understandable. Do you know what your mom did? She keeps asking my dad to go over to her place and I don't think I need to explain what they have been up to, do 1?" Bianca explained and acted like she was the victim.

"What?" Anne did not know about that. "Even so, you can't hire someone to kill my mom! Dorothy has committed a crime and she needs to be punished!"

Bianca did not bother with Anne's opinion and turned to look at Anthony. * Anthony, my mom didn't do this on purpose, so I used my connection here to resolve this. She's my mom, after all. If my mom goes into prison, it's not going to be a good thing for any children we might have in the future.”

Anne looked at Anthony nervously, wondering if he would go as far as siding with Bianca when they had clearly committed a crime.

Anthony turned to look at Anne calmly and said, “This ends here. All medical fees will be borne by the Faye family."

Anne gaped at him in disbelief. "My mom is still unconscious in the hospital and I don't even know when she’s gaing to wake up. The culprit is right in front of me and you are telling me that I can't do anything?"

“It's not nothing. We will pay for her medical fees. Even if we take this court, do you not need money for your mom's expenses in the hospital? Cases like this are often resolved in private.”

Anne stood dazedly and thought to herself, Yeah. What was I expecting? That Anthony would side with me? Bianca is his fiance, and I'm just a woman who is barely surviving by serving him. We can't compare.’

She had thought that the recent improvement in their relationship would cause Anthony to show mercy on her. In the end, it was impossible.
