Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107 Anne crouched and petted them on the heads, uncertain as to how she could explain what had happened because she wanted her children to live their lives free of concerns.

“We are not going out to play. I just came here to see you. I have work later tonight and Grandma can‘t come as well...”

The triplets pouted with resignation.

Overwhelmed by guilt, Anne added, “Once I get everything done, I will take you guys out to

play.”

A boy approached Anne and asked, “Miss, can they stay overnight at the school with us?”

The triplets hesitated.

“Do you three want to stay?” She asked.

“We do!” They replied in unison, Anne thought it was a good idea. After all, it was best for her children to spend more time with their playmates. She went and informed the teacher about this, before turning to leave. She still could not reach Cheyenne‘s phone. Just as she was rendered helpless, a car stopped next to her.

Lucas stepped out of the car. “Why are you here at this time?”

She smiled. “Here to check on the kids.”

“Where are you off to? I have a meeting so I can give you a ride,” he said.

Anne was slightly hesitant. Since what happened last time, she had not contacted Lucas at all. After all, it was rather uncomfortable after being kissed by Anthony in front of him.

Her phone suddenly started ringing and she looked down to find an unknown number. “Sorry, I need to take this...hello?”

“Is this Anne Vallois?”

“Yes.”

“I‘m calling from the police station. We‘ve already found your mother...”

“Really? That‘s great. Thank you! Thank you so much!” She sighed a breath of relief. Throughout the day, all she could think of was all the bad things that could have happened to Cheyenne. “You should come by the hospital first!” Her heart sank instantly. “Wh–why? Is she hurt?” Trying to be considerate, the police officer simply said, “We will talk when you are here.” After the call, Anne was clearly distraught as she thought to herself, ‘Why won‘t he tell me what happened now? Is she badly injured?‘

“I will send you there.” Lucas opened the door for her.

“I thought you had a meeting? Won‘t this be too much of a hassle for you?”

“I can afford to be late, don‘t worry.”

In the end, she accepted his offer and went into his car.

In the hospital, the doctors and police officers took her to the morgue. The freezing air left Anne trembling and she spotted Anthony standing tall from afar.

His expression darkened when she saw the man standing behind her, but she was far too shocked to pay him any mind. Anne stepped closer, her eyes fixated on the body on the table. She could not bring herself to believe that this was Cheyenne.

Cheyenne‘s eyes were closed and she was no longer breathing. Tears scrolled down Anne‘s cheeks as she muttered, “What...happened to my mom?” “Someone saw her walking towards the city garden, so we searched the entire place and eventually found her in the lake. Our initial theory is that someone knocked her out from behind and shoved her down to the lake.”

She stared at the officer in disbelief.“...But why? Was it a robbery?”

“Doesn‘t look like it. Her phone is gone but her rings and necklace were still on her. We are not ruling out murder at the moment.” “My mom lives a normal life. There shouldn‘t be anyone out there who wants her dead.” “The last person she saw was Sarah Vallois. You know this woman, right? We found Cheyenne‘s phone in her car. We‘ve already taken Sarah Vallois under custody, but she insists that she didn‘t murder Cheyenne.” Anne froze, her tears dropping uncontrollably. “Are you saying...that my aunt...” Could it be possible that her aunt actually murdered.her mother? “Of course, we will need to investigate further,” the officer said, “we don‘t have any evidence to draw a conclusion just yet, but just leave it to us. We will get to the bottom of this, sparing no suspect for the murder.” Anne was absolutely inconsolable and utterly confused, as she did not want to believe that her aunt had done such a thing.
