Chapter 1292

"You want to replace the Pinnacle Academy?” Anne realized that it had been his ambition all along

and gaped. “No, Anthony, you can't do that! Let the Pinnacle. Academy be. It won't stand in your

way!"

“Replacing it was bound to happen anyway. Lucas's downfall is your fault,” Anthony said.

"Why do you have to be so possessive? If there's really something between me and Lucas, you

wouldn't stand a chance.” Anne did not know how she could change Anthony's mind, but all she

knew was that if she failed to do so, the academy of decades of history would disappear.

“What of the Newman Family, then? What about Lucas? Losing everything overnight. could drive

him mad!" She thought.

Anthony darted forward and grabbed her by the jaw, before staring into her eyes. “I wouldn't stand

a chance? Are you sure?”

Her lips quivered with uncertainty. Anthony was far too powerful and even if she wanted to settle

down with Lucas, they would never stand a chance.

“You were about to get engaged back then, right?” Anthony questioned viciously. Though it was

already in the past, he would still lose his temper at the thought of it. He tightened his grip around

Anne's face, itching to crush her into pieces

“Umph..."” She scowled in pain and paled. “It's in the past.”

“The Newman family came to the Archduke Group and I turned them away. Lucas knew that talking

to me won't help, so he hasn't shown up once, but he shouldn't have asked someone else to reach

out to you. That's the bottom line,” he said mercilessly.

“Is it...so wrong for them to not want to watch as their family business turns into ashes? Anyone

would exhaust every way they can think of,” Anne said sorrowfully.” Just let them go and nothing

will happen. Anthony, you can't be so cruel...”

"He dares to go to your apartment to see you. I'm already showing mercy for not killing him!” He let

her go coldly. “Calm yourself and get ready for dinner.” He then turned to leave.

Anne watched as Anthony walked away, her heart shattering as she wondered what she was to

Anthony.

She had thought that Anthony would care about her feelings since he had married her, but he did

not. His heart belonged to Bianca and he had never once loved Anne; the torture he imposed on

her had only worsen and he would even come close to killing her whenever he lost his temper.

Anne could not understand the man, even when they were being intimate.

After dinner, Anne took the children out for a walk and Anthony accompanied them.

The family of five seemed harmoniously as though nothing had happened.

Anthony took a call from work afterward and returned to the study room, while Anne kept her eyes

on Anthony.

She wanted to change Anthony's mind, no matter the cost.

The triplets were playing amongst themselves, and Anne turned to return to the house, before

heading up the stairs to the study room.

Before she could enter, Mia stopped her. “Mrs. Marwood, are you going to the study room? Mr.

Marwood is busy.”

Anne glanced at the closed door. She knew that Anthony was busy, but she needed to find an

opportunity.

“Mr. Marwood seems to be in a bad mood, so maybe it's best that you don't disturb him, Mrs.

Marwood? I don't want him to vent his anger on you,” Mia said.

Anne glanced at Mia's face. “Anthony told you to say that?”

"Of course. I wouldn't dare to make this up,” Mia lied.

Anne took a deep breath and walked away wordlessly, not worried about her children as the

servants were looking after them.
