Chapter 474

Their glasses clicked, and a smug smile appeared on both of their faces.

As she was sipping on her wine, Dorothy noticed Nigel hurrying toward the garage. "Nigel, are you going out?"

She ran over as well, and Bianca stood up. Her eyes narrowed coldly, wondering if her father had obtained any lead.

"Anne is back!" Nigel said excitedly.

"What? Have you gone mad because you have been too depressed?" Dorothy studied his face worriedly.

"No. She called me and told me that she's just arrived home. I am going there now." Nigel got into his car and drove off.

Bianca did not hear what they said but noticed that Dorothy remained frozen after he was gone and went over. "Is there a lead on where Anne is again? It's not the first time. Dead people don't just come back to life."

"Your dad said... Anne called him, telling him that she was home. What on earth is going on?" "What?" Bianca scowled.

The door was open when Nigel arrived at the house. He went inside to find Anne sitting on the couch, and the weight on his chest was finally lifted off when he saw her before him, alive and well. "Dad..." Anne stood up and called out sheepishly, feeling terribly sorry when she noticed how Nigel had lost weight. "I'm sorry for worrying you, Dad."

Nigel patted her on the head as he scanned her up and down. "What happened? Where were you? You won't answer your phone. What happened? Does this have anything to do with Anthony?"

"It's probably not him. I was drugged as soon as I got into the car and by the time I woke up, I was in this little hut. It's... that driver who drove off to some remote area to rob me. He even tried to get me to call my family for ransom. I ran when he wasn't looking, but the mountain was too big, and I got lost. It took me a few days to get out.”

Bianca and Dorothy heard Anne's voice and the things she said from outside the door. Both were unable to believe that Anne had returned alive.

"It's no wonder we found the car inside the lake with no sight of you or the driver. It's a good thing that you are back." Nigel sighed a breath of relief.

“Inside the lake?" Anne asked in surprise.

"Yeah. It sank to the bottom of the lake, and we've been following that lead, but we couldn't find you."

Anne quieted down, finally realizing why Anthony had allowed her to make up an excuse. He had gone ahead and misled the others.

Just when she thought Anthony could not be more terrifying, he surprised her once again.

Bianca walked inside. "I have to admit that you are lucky. It's a miracle that you manage to get back despite being abducted.”

"You don't look like you were kidnapped, more like you were invited there as a guest or something. Were you out having fun with someone else instead?" Dorothy said.

Anne stared at the two women expressionlessly. "I've narrowly escaped death. Isn't it too harsh for you two to be all sarcastic?"

Nigel's expression darkened as he looked at Dorothy. "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.”

Seeing how Nigel took Anne's side, Bianca was instantly upset. "Dad, Mom is just worried about Anne. She isn't being sarcastic or anything. You can't just stop caring how we feel as soon as your darling daughter comes home. I

"Bianca, take your mother home,” Nigel commanded.

Bianca shot Anne a nasty look before turning to leave with Dorothy.

"A lady in a rural village rescued me. She fed me and gave me the clothes on my back right now. Otherwise, I wouldn't be alive right now,” Anne said.

I see. I will go and thank them myself when I have the time. God knows how long it would take for US to hear from you if it weren't for those kind people.”
