Chapter 1329
“So, is it my intention for you to trespass into my house then?” Lucas said coldly.
Ivan asked, “You’re doing alright, why are you resting? This isn’t like you.”
“I didn’t sleep well last night. I was in terrible shape.” Lucas‘ glasses glinted in cold light. “Is this your reason for trespassing? I never knew that Anthony’s men would follow me all the way here. What perseverance.”
Lucas‘ tone was filled with mockery.
Ivan was infuriated, but he had indeed lost the justification.
“Better not let me find out that you are in contact with Mrs. Marwood,” Ivan warned before turning and leaving.
The other bodyguards followed suit.
Joanne clutched and rubbed her chest. She sat on the couch. Her legs felt a little like
jelly.
Eason looked at Lucas with a sharp gaze. “Did you go to see Anne?” He looked at Joanne, “You knew about this?”
Joanne remained silent, which meant that he was right.
“You’re reckless!” Eason was furious.
Joanne looked at Lucas, “Did you know that Anthony’s men were keeping an eye on
you?”
“They won’t find out about it,” Lucas said.
“Meaning you knew about it. You knew about it, yet you still want to see Anne?” Joanne was heartbroken. If she knew that Anthony’s men were keeping an eye on them beforehand, she would definitely object to Lucas seeing Anne. “Just because of Anne, look what you have made our family into. The Pinnacle Academy is gone. What else do you want? Are you trying to get your entire family killed? Is it only then you’ll be satisfied? Lucas, since when have you become so reckless without considering the consequences? Anne…is someone you can’t touch at all!”
Eason was furious.
“You’ve been so bewitched by a woman that you don’t know what you’re doing. Is this how I raised you?”
“I can’t just stay idle and not save her.” Lucas found an excuse.
“It has nothing to do with you even if she had died!” Eason was burning in rage.
It was a little harsh but understandable.
The Pinnacle Academy was his life’s work! Ever since that incident, he could not come out of the grief, yet his son was still insisting on making a mistake without waking up to the truth!
“Lucas, you have been smart and mature since you were a child. We never needed to worry about you. In some matters, you are even more organized than your father, yet right now you have become… so…” Joanne could not find the words. She was extremely disappointed.
“If you’re still going to see Anne in the future, you’re no longer my son!” Eason was so mad he lost his mind.
Joanne panicked. No matter what, Lucas was their son. She was afraid that things might escalate until they were unmanageable.
At that moment, she could only persuade Lucas. “Lucas, stop going to see Anne, please?”
Lucas‘ heart was heavy. His expression darkened. “No one will find out. There will be a time that Anthony will give up.”
“You!” Eason was extremely infuriated.
Joanne immediately held onto Eason. “Don’t get mad. Be careful not to ruin your
health.”
“Dad, Mom, I never asked for anything from you. I only want…Anne.” Lucas restrained his gaze as he could not hide his true feelings in his eyes.
“Lucas…” Joanne looked at him, heartbroken.
“I’ll return to the study.” Lucas turned around and returned to the study, closing the
door behind him.
Eason was livid. “Why has he become like this!” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Joanne said sadly, “He has always been focusing on the education business. He would never do anything out of line. This time, he. is really going to cost us our lives…”
“We can’t let him go on like this. Otherwise, if Anthony were to be ruthless, I can’t imagine the consequences!” Eason has already experienced Anthony’s tactics.
If the Newman family ever had a slight chance of winning, they would not have left the country all defeated and settled abroad.
“You know what Lucas is like. He is determined to be with Anne. How do we stop him?” Joanne was worried.
Eason pondered while pacing back and forth in the living room. After a few minutes, he stopped and said seriously, “The next time he goes to see Anne, we’ll immediately let Anthony know.”
“W–What? How could you do this?” Joanne was frightened. “Anthony will not let us go!”
“I’ll talk to him. It would be much better than him finding out!”
Joanne was worried. Was this the method to receive leniency by coming clean?
She wanted to object to it, but Lucas was deeply bewitched by Anne. She didn’t even dare to imagine the outcome if Anthony were to find them.
Also, Anne was trouble. She should have just stayed with the vicious Anthony and stopped causing trouble for other people!
Anne woke up in the morning, standing by the balcony breathing in the fresh air of the mountains. She looked into the distance for a while before turning around and heading downstairs.
After Lucas went back two days ago, they have been contacting each other by phone. It was always Lucas who called her.
As for Tommy, he could only talk to her through the drone.
After breakfast, Anne sat on the couch with nothing to do and turned on the television. She found out that there was no signal, so she could not watch it.
She could still watch television the day before.
Anne checked and realized that it was indeed the signal’s problem.
Why?
She returned upstairs to give Tommy a call. “I can’t watch television. Why is there no signal?”
If there was no television, she would have one less method to pass time.
“Maybe there is a problem with the wiring. I’ll get someone to go and have a look later.”
“Alright.” Anne was about to hang up when something flashed across her mind. She asked, “Tommy, did you do this on purpose?”
“Why would I do that?”
“Did something happen in Luton?”
“No.”
It was not that Anne was suspicious, it was just that she was very sensitive to the things happening in Luton. Any news would make her extremely nervous.
It was too strange that the television had no signal.
“Tommy, are you sure there is nothing?”
“It’s nothing but Anthony’s tactics. You don’t need to know them.”
“If I use my phone, I’ll find it, right?” Anne was even more sure that something must have happened.
“Anne, listen to me. Don’t worry about it.”
Anne hung up immediately and searched for Luton on her phone.
When she saw the trending topics, she immediately stood up. Her mind was buzzing to the point where it hurt.
[Triplets of the Most Powerful Man in Luton Missing. The Situation Looked Unpromising.]
Anne’s heart was about to pound out of her chest. Her eyes were filled with anxious and frightful tears.
Her children were missing. How could that be…
Thinking back to what Tommy said, was this truly Anthony’s tactic? Was it a tactic or were they truly missing?
Was it because of her? After all, she had left!
The children had not seen their mother for so many days. Would they just obediently stay at home?
What if they were truly missing…
Due to her anxiety, Anne started seeing black and she slumped onto the side of the bed.
The more she thought, the more terrible she felt. She covered her mouth and sobbed.
Her children…
The sort of pain was just as if someone had sliced off a piece of her flesh…
