Chapter 964

“Don't you be silly, he was only coaxing you. Not only will he not be here to bring you back tomorrow, but he also will not ever again.” Bianca did not mind telling her the harsh truth.

Anne was crushed and took a step back. “No... He will not

“You killed my mother, and this pissed him off. How would he forgive you? Anthony loved me right from the start. He only married you because of the kids. What else can he do if you do not accept the reality?” Bianca said.

Beads of tears rolled down Anne's eyes. She looked up from her blurred vision, and she could still see Bianca's condescending face, clearly written with her consequence for being abandoned.

It hurt her deeply.

Bianca turned and looked at Marco and immediately looked gentle. “Inspector York, I have some personal matters to speak to her. Can you please...

“Be quick.” Marco walked out.

Bianca's menacing eyes turned to the vulnerable Anne. You killed my mother. The evidence is concrete. It will definitely be a death sentence.”

Anne shook her head; she could not die, she could not die

"Of course, if I forgive you, you could be exempted.”

Even if Anne was naive, she knew well enough that Bianca was not easy.

“File for a divorce with Anthony.”

"Div... Divorce...” Anne's tears rolled down again.

“Then, I will provide my statement, and you would only be sentenced to a few years of jail. You could still come out of it eventually. It would be better than death, don't you agree?” Bianca coaxed. Anne was pondering about it.

She definitely did not want to die, but would it just be a few years in prison?

"However... However, I did not kill her.”

"Don’t say something like that anymore. Who would believe you? I tell you, this is a rare opportunity . If you don't tell Anthony by tomorrow about this, then you could very well wait for your death sentence! I will tell you first now. Anthony listens to everything I say. Only I can save you.”

Anne stood there, feeling anxious and worried.

“I will leave you alone to think about it,” Bianca said and left.

The holding cell was then suffocatingly silent.

Anne took a few steps back fearfully. She laid her back closely on the wall and then squatted down, curling into a ball, as though her fear would be lesser if she maintained this way.

No, Anthony said he would be there for her tomorrow.

She should believe him.

She should just persist through the night.

After that, Anne could not fall back asleep. She looked at the clock on the wall. It felt like an eternity had passed before it was finally morning.

She heard noises from outside and stood up. She finally saw Anthony.

Anthony saw Anne's frail appearance, and frowned heavily, then shouted, “Open up!”

The police officer opened the metal door. Anthony went in and asked, “You did not sleep last night, did you?”

“I... 1 was waiting for you. Are you here to take me away?” Anne grabbed Anthony's arm like a floating log, and her intention to leave was burning.

She did not want to stay here any longer.

Not even one more second.

Anthony's dark eyes looked down and caressed her tiny face. He said in a low voice, “You can't leave yet, for now...

“Why? Anthony, I... I did not kill her!” Anne looked at Anthony, who kept quiet. Her tears were almost frozen. ” Do you... not believe me?”

Anthony's phone buzzed. He took out his phone and saw the caller before walking to the side to answer the phone call.

Anne looked at Anthony's back silhouette and had a bad feeling about it.

When Anthony hung up, he said, “I have something to attend to, and I need to go now. I will see you later.”
