The bathroom door was opened without warning. Anne, who was inside, froze. She watched the intimidating man, who suddenly appeared, nervously. 

 

Anthony glared at her and said, “You locked the door on my property? Who gave you the permission?” 

Anne was unable to refute. This was indeed not her room. 

The entire The Curve, including herself now, belonged to Anthony. 

However, she must not tell him why she locked the door. 

 

“I’m…scared…” Anne said weakly. 

Anthony fixed his sharp gaze on her phone and ordered, “Give it to me.” 

Anne realized what he was after, and she tightened her grip on the phone. 

She did not expect Anthony to come at this hour. She was unprepared… 

“Don’t make me repeat myself!” Anthony’s passive-aggressive voice resonated in the bathroom. 

Anne’s heart jolted. She dared not to wait any longer and had no choice but to hand out her phone. 

When Anthony got hold of her phone, her heart tightened uncontrollably. 

She was afraid that he might find out her secret… 

When Anthony looked at the phone, she said weakly, “I… I had a nightmare. I was scared. I tried to call my aunt, but I didn’t want to trigger you. So I didn’t make the call, and then you came in…” 

She was able to delete her recent call history so Anthony would not find out. 

Anthony glared at her sharply as if he was about to penetrate her. “You can try.” 

Anne looked at him perplexed. 

“She helped you to get away. Do you know what will happen next?” Anthony asked cruelly. 

“No, not that. I asked my aunt to bring me my passport. This has nothing to do with her. She knows nothing! I…I promise you, I won’t contact her again…” Anne promised and clarified. 

She was too innocent. 

Anthony hated Sarah. How would he allow her to contact her!?
