Chapter 1222


    “How are you going to leave? Will Anthony allow it? Why exactly is he treating you like that? Is he still


    human for hurting you like that?! He’s supposed to treat you better for the sake of the children at the


    very least!” Lucas, who always had a calm personality, was about to burst out in anger.


    He thought that since Anthony wanted to have Anne so badly, then at least…he would not hurt her like


    that!


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    At that moment, her face was slit so badly. He simply was a madman!


    “It’s because of… Tommy.” Anne was in pain. “I bumped into Tommy when I went to the Aesthetic Clinic


    to enquire about scar removal, and I returned to thepany in his car. I spoke to him a little at the


    entrance of the office and Anthony heard it. It was nothing much. I just said I’ll make him a cup of


    coffee, then Anthony lost control of his emotions…”


    “Then what happened to your face?” asked Lucas.


    Anne knew he had misunderstood, so she said, “Anthony didn’t do this to my face. was Lilian, but she’s


    already dead. It’s fine…”


    “How can this be fine? Anthony will only be even scarier than Lilian!”


    “Mr. Newman, I’m being serious. I will think of a way to get out of there. Hurry up and leave!”


    “Anne…”


    “Mr. Newman, I don’t want you to get hurt because of me. Thank you for telling me about my child. Just


    leave!” Anne pushed him away without any strength.


    Lucas‘ eyes met Anne’s pleading and helpless gaze, and that deep pain in his heart made him feel


    terrible.


    He endured it, turned around, and went out of the room.


    Just as he put the pliers back in its original ce, he heard the door being unlocked, which made his


    entire body freeze.


    Anthony pushed the door open and entered the apartment.


    He did not go to the living room, but he went straight to the room instead.


    The door to the room was left ajar. He ced his fingers on the door and pushed it open.


    Anne, who was standing there, turned her head around. She thought Lucas had


    returned.


    When she saw Anthony’s face, fear immediately surged in her body and made her dizzy for a moment.


    Has Lucas left?


    Why would Anthonye over at this moment?


    Anthony entered, and the slender figure stood right in front of her. “What are you doing standing here?”


    Anne lowered her gaze. “I was a little tired from lying down…”


    “You seem to be very nervous when you see me.” Anthony’s sharp ck eyes were almost going to


    stare a hole in her weak body.


    Anne said softly, “Because I didn’t forget how you treated me thest time…”


    Anthony did not mind. He lifted his gaze a little and scanned the room. Those sharp and cold eyes did


    not let any of the suspicious ces go.


    He even walked to the bathroom, opened the door, and scanned through the entire ce.


    When he returned and walked past Anne, his ck eyes were also staring sharply at her face. Then,


    he left the room.


    Anne almost could not breathe and her breath felt exceptionally heavy.


    Has Lucas left? Could he still be trapped in the apartment?


    Anne was so nervous that her entire body turned to jelly but her legs were so stiff that she could not


    move at all.


    Anthony went to the living room and headed toward the balcony.


    Lucas had already gotten back to the balcony next door and was retrieving the steel te.‘


    Just as he went into the apartment in a hurry, Anthony happened to walk to the balcony. Both situations


    seemed to be happening at the same time.


    Anthony scanned the balcony and did not find anybody. Only then did he turn around and return to the


    living room with a reserved air.


    It was after Lucas heard the footsteps going back inside that he managed to breathe properly. He


    moved the steel te to the room and tossed it under the bed before he


    left.


    Bianca saw Lucasing out unharmed and found it very strange.


    What did that mean? Was it already over? Did nothing happen at all?


    If Anthony found out they were having an affair, how could he spare them?


    Could it be that he did not find out?


    Bianca was very disappointed!


    She did not go upstairs to expose Lucas and Anne’s secret because if it had happened once, it would


    happen again. She still wished that they would be caught by Anthony himself.
