Chapter 1289


    The Pinnacle Academy had faced crises before, but had survived all of them.


    However, it had not been long since thest crisis. Anne did not know if what happened thest time was


    an ident, but this time was definitely caused by Anthony because he had mentioned that Lucas would


    pay for what he did.


    She had reached out to Lloyd immediately for help, because she knew that begging Anthony for help


    would not do. She was the one who put Lucas in this situation,


    when she never wanted to owe Lucas anything.


    ‘Anthony is going to push me over the edge at some point…’ She thought.


    When the door opened, she immediately switched channels.


    Anthony walked into the bedroom and saw Anne switching between channels on the television with no


    reaction to his appearance at all. He walked over and sat down next to her, before wrapping an arm


    around her wrist. “In a bad mood? I’m in a great mood, though. Do you know why?”


    “Why?”


    “Didn’t you see it on the television?”


    She froze and started trembling, knowing that he had seen right through her.


    He grabbed her by the chin and forced her to turn and face him. “You know that begging for mercy won’t


    help, so you decided that you just won’t say anything, hm?”


    “Yes. I know that you will do whatever you want in the end. Why bother talking about it with me? Do you


    think I would feel great about putting someone in that situation?” Tears welled in her eyes. “I will never


    forget what I owe him!”


    “Are you trying to say that you will remember him for life?” Storm gathered within his eyes. “Are you sure


    that’s what you are saying?”


    Tension in the room rose and her blood ran cold.

    “If you are scared, you should think before you speak!” He tightened his grip.


    She scowled in pain and paled as she panted. “Master…have mercy…”


    “Calling me Master won’t help you anymore.” He narrowed his eyes dangerously.


    “Master…” Tears scrolled down her cheek. “Let him go and I will be forever grateful. I won’t ever do


    anything that upset you again.”


    *Are you sure that you want to plead for another man?” Anthony became increasingly agitated.


    “You know that’s not what I mean…” Her chest tightened with sorrow and despair.


    “Then shut up!” He moved closer and roared.


    She quieted down in fear.


    Anthony was a living minefield and anything could trigger an explosive reaction.


    “I told you that Lucas won’t escape and has to pay the price for what he did.” He studied her face intently.


    “And you are going to watch as he suffers.”


    She stared at him in tears. “You won’t let him go no matter what I do, will you?”


    “If you dare to hurt yourself, I will make sure that you wish you were dead!” He warned viciously.


    “…I get it,” she said hoarsely. “Don’t worry. I won’t mention a single word from today onward.”


    “Good.” He stared at her intently.


    Anne did as she promised and had not pleaded for Lucas from that moment onward as she anxiously


    waited for updates from Corentin.


    The longer she waited, the more desperate she became. She did not dare to urge Corentin as he might


    be finding a way to help her.


    As she waited, she stayed in the Royal Mansion with the children. Anne was about to check on any news


    regarding the Pinnacle Academy on her phone when…


    “Mama!”


    “Mama!”
