Anne lowered her eyes and smiled weakly. “Really.” 

 

“I heard that…Anthony also went to Uncle’s anniversary party. I hope he didn’t do anything to you?” Tommy asked. 

“No…nothing, I left not long after…” Anne did not want to talk about Anthony. 

She was like an anxious bird; mentioning his name made it hard to breathe. 

“If he’s troubling you, tell me. I will help you,” Tommy said. 

 

Anne was touched. 

When she used to be helpless, Tommy helped her. It had been a long time since, and she could recognize him right away. 

Now that Anthony was tormenting her, she bumped into Tommy, and he even helped her to get a job at the surgery clinic. He helped her a lot, and she was grateful. 

Perhaps when one was helpless, one would seek safety… 

“Why did Anthony come back to Luton?” Anne pretended as if she knew nothing. 

“I’m not sure. Nobody from the family knows either.” Tommy frowned slightly. 

Anne’s heart sank. “Have you been in touch with him?” 

“Not since he cut his ties with the Marwood family. There’s no way for me to get in touch with him.” Tommy thought of something, and he reminded, “If you see him, try to stay away.” 

“I know…” Anne replied. 

In the past, Tommy would visit Anthony at the Marwood Mansion from time to time. They were quite close. 

However, Anthony was so cruel as to cut off all ties. 

Yet, someone like him was powerful. 

Normal demons were not intimidating, but threatening and powerful demons were!
