Chapter 1220


    Lucas‘ line of sightnded at the balcony next door, and he was thinking up a n.


    At that moment, Kathryn would certainly be in there, so he could not go over.


    If he were to go over, then he could only go over from here.


    He turned around and went inside the apartment.


    Bianca followed behind him and asked, “Aren’t you going to see Anne? Are you already giving up?”


    Lucas stood in the living room, took out his phone, and called Levi, “Help me find a piece of steel te.


    The length has to be at least three meters long. The width is fine as long as a person can walk on it.”


    Bianca instantly felt very satisfied when she heard what he said.


    After Lucas hung up the call, he turned his head around and looked at her. “You may leave now.”


    “Alright then. See you.” While Bianca walked toward the door, she said, “I don’t know what kind of


    charm Anne has for all of you men to risk everything for her.”


    Her words to Lucas were filled with sarcasm, but they fell on deaf ears.


    After she shut the door, Bianca hurriedly took out her phone and wanted to give Anthony a call.


    However, she decided to wait for a while after giving it a thought. After all, she wanted to let him be


    caught red–handed.


    Therefore, she went downstairs and waited in her car.


    She indeed would not be that kind to help them. She had her own goal, to begin with.


    She wanted to let Anthony find out Lucas and Anne were together, and they were secretly meeting in


    Julie’s apartment. Such a scene would certainly make Anthony explode in anger.


    When the time came, Anne would certainly be a goner!


    Bianca feltfortable at the thought of Anne being doomed.


    Not long after Kathryn left, she saw two men carrying a steel te over. The steel te was even


    foldable. It looked like it was especially used for building a bridge.


    They went into the elevator and went straight up to Anne’s floor.


    Lucas asked Levi to leave after he handed the steel te to him.


    After that, he installed the steel te between the railings of the two balconies and it fitted just right.


    With a jump, Lucas got on top of the railing and stood on the steel te.


    There were more than ten floors under his feet. Even if he had the steel te to step on, he still would


    not be feeling as if he was walking on the ground when he was on top of the steel te.


    However, Lucas has a strong mind, so he was calm when he walked on top of it.


    He got to the opposite in a few steps, then he jumped off the railing and directly went inside.


    The apartment was quiet as if no one was staying in there.


    He did not notice any sign of anybody in the living room, so he went toward the

    rooms.


    There was more than one room, but when Lucas saw Julie’s portrait, he was certain that it was that


    room.


    Lucas walked up to the door, grabbed the doorknob, gently turned it, and pushed the door open.


    The room was dim as it only had very faint lights. It felt oppressive as it barely had any lights at all.


    After he went into the bedroom, Lucas waspletely stunned when he saw Anne sitting on the floor


    by the bed with her head leaning against the bed listlessly. He simply stood there as he could not


    believe what he saw.


    He was even questioning his own eyes.


    Anne leaned on the bed without moving at all and her eyes were closed. Her ck hair that was resting


    on half of her face made her skin look even paler, and there was a long scar on the other side of her


    face.


    Were those…chains on her wrist?


    “Anne…”


    Anne moved a little when she heard his voice, but she did not open her eyes and she maintained that


    same position.


    She thought she was hearing things.


    “Anne?” Lucas went up to her, squatted in front of her, and gently held her thin arm.


    Only then Anne shuddered and opened her eyes. When she saw the man in front of him, she was even


    questioning if she was dreaming.


    “What happened?” Lucas was breathing hard and trembling as he held the long and thin chain. “How


    can Anthony do this to you?”


    It seemed like only then did Anne finally be certain the person in front of her was truly Lucas. She


    instantly pushed him away out of fear. “What are you doing here? Hurry up and leave. Don’t stay here!


    You’ll be seen by Anthony!”
