Chapter 1289
The Pinnacle Academy had faced crises before, but had survived all of them.
However, it had not been long since the last crisis. Anne did not know if what happened the last time was an accident, but this time was definitely caused by Anthony because he had mentioned that Lucas would pay for what he did.
She had reached out to Lloyd immediately for help, because she knew that begging Anthony for help would not do. She was the one who put Lucas in this situation,
when she never wanted to owe Lucas anything.
‘Anthony is going to push me over the edge at some point…’ She thought.
When the door opened, she immediately switched channels.
Anthony walked into the bedroom and saw Anne switching between channels on the television with no reaction to his appearance at all. He walked over and sat down next to her, before wrapping an arm around her wrist. “In a bad mood? I’m in a great mood, though. Do you know why?”
“Why?”
“Didn’t you see it on the television?”
She froze and started trembling, knowing that he had seen right through her.
He grabbed her by the chin and forced her to turn and face him. “You know that begging for mercy won’t help, so you decided that you just won’t say anything, hm?”
“Yes. I know that you will do whatever you want in the end. Why bother talking about it with me? Do you think I would feel great about putting someone in that situation?” Tears welled in her eyes. “I will never forget what I owe him!”
“Are you trying to say that you will remember him for life?” Storm gathered within his eyes. “Are you sure that’s what you are saying?”
Tension in the room rose and her blood ran cold.
“If you are scared, you should think before you speak!” He tightened his grip.
She scowled in pain and paled as she panted. “Master…have mercy…”
“If you dare to hurt yourself, I will make sure that you wish you were dead!” He warned viciously.
“…I get it,” she said hoarsely. “Don’t worry. I won’t mention a single word from today onward.”
“Good.” He stared at her intently.
Anne did as she promised and had not pleaded for Lucas from that moment onward as she anxiously waited for updates from Corentin.
The longer she waited, the more desperate she became. She did not dare to urge Corentin as he might be finding a way to help her.
As she waited, she stayed in the Royal Mansion with the children. Anne was about to check on any news regarding the Pinnacle Academy on her phone when…
“Mama!”
“Mama!”
