Chapter 1344

“Have you made your decision?” Tommy said in a low voice.

"...Yes,” Anne said, lowering her gaze.

Anthony could threaten anyone he wanted to achieve his goals, knowing her location.

He could even threaten her with the lives of her children... It made her heart ache at the thought. Tommy did not say anything as the drone flew out and went to the cockpit below.

This was to inform the driver to change the route.

Anne sat on the sofa motionless, her eyes blank.

Lucas did not do anything either.

It was a difficult situation, as there was not a clear solution.

If Lucas does not go back, his parents will be killed.

He and Anne will have to live with the guilt for the rest of their lives.

However, the thought of sacrificing Anne's freedom caused Lucas great distress.

He stepped forward and pressed Anne's head against his chest, his voice hoarse as he said, “I'll go back and face everything. You leave.”

Anne shook her head in his arms. “It's useless... Principal. My freedom is limited, we... we should stop here. I'll find a way to make Anthony return the Pinnacle Academy to the Newman family. From now on, don't get close to me..."

Lucas looked extremely depressed.

He liked Anne, and he would be willing to give up everything for her.

However, fate seemed to be against them time and time again.

It was all because of that mad dog Anthony, who bites anyone he sees!

Lucas could not ignore his family...

The closer they got to Lucas's residence, the more flustered Anne became.

She did not know what would happen to her after meeting Anthony.

Death was not the worst thing; living was worse than death...

As soon as the car arrived at the door of the house, it was surrounded by bodyguards who pointed their guns at them, the black muzzles causing panic.

Anne and Lucas got out of the car and walked into the house.

As soon as they entered the hall, they were locked in the gaze of those sharp black eyes full of hostility, as if they were staring at prey about to be captured and torn apart.

Anne was terrified, her legs weakening as she turned her stinging pupils away, looking at the Newman family couple who was still kneeling on the ground with guns pointed at them.

The Newman family couple saw the hidden displeasure on her face.

Lucas stepped forward, standing in front of his parents and pointing the gun at Anthony.

“Do you think I'm afraid to shoot?” Anthony's voice became gloomy as he stood up and took the gun in the bodyguard's hand, loading it and pointing it at Lucas.

Anne was so frightened that her voice trembled as she said, “No! I'm already here. What else do you want?”

Anthony's face was slightly tilted, his clear jawline cold and sharp as he said, “You don’t seem to have any remorse for escaping?”

Tears trembled in Anne's eyes as she said, “You forced me. I just wanted to live. What's wrong with that? But if you hadn't treated me like that, I wouldn't have left my child. Don't you think there's something wrong with you? Can't I feel better living outside? Anthony, don't hurt anyone anymore. Let's go back to Luton!”

Anthony tightened his grip on the gun, placing his index finger on the trigger as he said, “You're telling me Lucas going to the apartment to have a private meeting with you was acceptable behavior?”

Anthony looked at Lucas with eyes full of madness and no trace of warmth.

He could pull the trigger at any moment.

Tears fell from Anne's eyes as she said weakly and palely, “I have nothing to do with him. I have already explained everything that needs explaining. No matter how many times I explain it, if you don't believe me, it will be useless...”

Lucas could not take it anymore and said, “I was worried about her and entered your apartment rashly. I apologize for this matter. But I have already paid the price, haven't I?”

“Then what about this time?” Anthony's black eyes were dark and cold. “Running away with other men now. You really know how to trigger me, don't you?”

Anthony's finger rested on the trigger, pulling it inward slightly.

Anne was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her soul seemed to leave her body. Joanne said eagerly, “You promised me that you would spare the Newman family, so you should spare my son. Anne has already returned to you, hasn't she?”

Lucas was stunned.

The meaning of those words was clear, which solved Anne's confusion.

It turned out that Anthony found her because the Newman family revealed it to Anthony and made a deal behind the scenes.

Anne lowered her gaze slightly. She did not blame them.

As Lucas's parents, it's normal to have such thoughts.

They did not like her, and with Pinnacle Academy gone, it was not surprising they did this.

She just did not expect to be exposed like this...

The tension in the air was strained to the breaking point.

Every breath was difficult as if any moment could be their last.

At that moment, Anthony's expression became serious, and he fired a shot!

“Ah!” Anne trembled in fright and closed her eyes.
