Chapter 1319
In the end, even after turning the entire cruise ship upside down, there was no sign of Anne at all. There were not even any clues at all.
When Ivan came to report to him, Anthony’s expression was extremely fierce. The storm in his black eyes was frightening.
“I, too, really want to know where Anne has gone and why you would come to me.’ Lucas‘ gaze under his glasses was sharp. “Anthony, this is not the first time you’ve hurt her, isn’t it? You always do this every time. She will leave you one day.”
Anthony’s cold–blooded gaze turned to Lucas, and the imposing air exuding all over him was about to explode in the limited space of the room.
“My Pinnacle Academy is already ruined by you. Leaving Luton is my only way out now. Mr. Marwood, you’re not going to deny me this, are you?” Lucas was standing tall. Even if he had been attacked by Anthony, his temperament was still elegant and
steady.
It was as if he had never failed.
Ivan glanced at Lucas.
Since Mrs. Marwood could not be found, even if Lucas were to keep himself out of the way, he probably would not be spared either.
Just when Ivan thought Mr. Marwood would do something, he saw him holding himself back, turned around, and left.
Since Anthony had left, then it was only natural that the rest of them retreated as
well.
Lucas walked forward to close the door. Not long after that, he heard the helicopter
leave.
Then, the cruise ship resumed its journey.
Lucas stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom and looked at his own face. There was a patch of bruising and blood stain in the corner of his lips.
He wiped it aggressively with the back of his hand, and he hid all of the darkness at
the bottom of his heart. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Fortunately, Anne was not on the same cruise ship as him.
Of course, this was all part of the plan.
He knew Anthony’s mind runs deep, so he had to take a roundabout way to his plan.
Anthony never would have expected where Anne was at the moment.
Anne was on a cargo ship.
She was with the cargoes that needed to be shipped via the sea.
After she had safely boarded the ship, the captain, who had been bribed, released
her from the container.
She sat at the ship’s bow and looked at the endless sea with clear glistening waves.
Looking at the broad sky, Anne could not believe that she was actually free.
Has she truly escaped the clutches of Anthony?
Would she… truly not be captured again?
Anne was so aggrieved that her tears almost streamed down her face.
The captain walked over and asked with concern, “Are you feeling seasick? Sit at the stern of a ship. You’ll feel better.”
Anne rubbed her eyes and said, “I’m fine. Thank you.”
At that moment, the phone that was on the captain rang.
He took it out, glanced at it, and said, “It’s Mr. Newman calling.”
Anne’s heart skipped a beat. It took a minute before she stood up and took over the phone. “Hello? Mr. Newman?”
She was already used to addressing him as Mr. Newman, and her excitement made her forget to change it for a moment.
“We’re safe for the time being.” Lucas‘ voice could be heard.
“Anthony…has appeared?” Anne made a guess.
“Mm–hmm. The cruise ship was forced to stop by the helicopter, and Anthony personally came aboard. He didn’t find you, so he left,” Lucas said very casually.
Anne’s anxiety was relieved, then she asked as she had thought of something, “He… didn’t do anything to you, did he?”
Lucas touched his jaw and said, “No.”
Anne let out a sigh of relief. “It’s fortunate that you’re smart, and you didn’t directly meet up with me. Otherwise, I would have been captured and brought back again.”
She did not even dare to think of the consequences if she was captured.
She shuddered all over at the thought of it.
