Chapter 1320

“I'm here and I'll certainly protect you,” said Lucas, “I won't be meeting you in a hurry after I arrive at

Canbridge either. Just first stay in the place Tommy has arranged for you. We'll meet each other

after Anthony's suspicions have completely disappeared.”

He was eagerly wanting to meet Anne deep down, but he wanted, even more, to not fall at the last

hurdle.

A person such as Anthony was extremely suspicious of everything, so he could not be brushed off so

easily.

“I got it.” Anne's tears streamed down her face.

She was already very lucky to be able to escape from Luton.

No, she still has not left Luton. She was still within the territory of Luton.

Therefore, she still could not let her guard down. 1

A cruise ship was slower than an airplane.

It took Lucas a few days to arrive at Canbridge and meet up with his parents.

They were staying at the mansion that they had bought there in the past.

As the family who founded the Pinnacle Academy, even when the academy no longer existed, their

financial power built over a few decades was still beyond imaginable.

Besides, the academy was only a part of Lucas’ investments. He still had other investments that were

all related to education.

That was why as long as a person was talented and had a vision, the person would shine no matter

where they are.

Only Lucas’ parents were unable to accept it.

It was their life's work, after all.

They lost everything in just one night.

It was impossible for them to not have suffered a blow.

Lucas was on a call with Anne at night when Joanne went to the study to look for him at night.

After he saw his mother entering, he gave a couple more instructions to her and

hung up the call.

“Is it Anne?”

“Mm-hmm." Lucas put the phone down on the table.

“Lucas, I won't agree for you to be with her. Not even after I'm dead.” This was the first time Joanne

was so firm with her words.

How could she accept Anne as if nothing had happened?

How much harm has Anne caused the Newman family?

Lucas could understand his parents were feeling. How could he not feel resentful? He had also put

all his blood, sweat, and tears into the Pinnacle Academy, and all he had in mind was education.

However, he was brought down at the peak of all his achievements.

Nobody in the Newman family would be calm.

“Anne and our family are the same. We're all victims. The true evil is Anthony,” said Lucas, “I hope

you and Dad can recognize that they are different matters.”

"How could you still say that? Your father is so pissed that he's almost going to have a heart attack!

Has he had a good night's sleep since Pinnacle Academy closed down? He's even taking sleeping

pills at night. Lucas, you can't turn a blind eye to all

these!”

“I'm not,” Lucas denied.

"Why did Anthony target Pinnacle Academy? Isn't it because of Anne? She's trouble. Which wealthy

and eminent family would dare to take in such a person?” Joanne said angrily, “The Newman family

is already ruined. How much worse do we have to get for all this to stop?”

Lucas rubbed his temple and he frowned a little. “Mom, Pinnacle Academy is gone but it doesn't

mean we no longer have a chance.”

“The Pinnacle Academy is the symbol of the Newman family! What is the Newman family without

the Pinnacle Academy? We had to leave Luton all dejected and defeated. Dare you say that all these

are not caused by Anne? Does she still want to cause you harm?”

"Mom..."

“Lucas, you've already done all you can by helping her run away from Anthony, and that's all I can

accept. If you insist on maintaining a relationship with Anne, you'll truly be breaking your parents’

hearts!” Joanne turned around and left the study with

tears in her eyes.

Lucas sank into the chair with exhaustion.

It was not his body that was exhausted, it was his mind.

Anne was the first girl he had fallen for. Even if he knew they had no future, he still fell head over

heels for her.

That sort of uncontrollable tremor only happened when he saw Anne.

He admitted that he had his selfish reasons for helping Anne to escape.

Perhaps it had been seen through by his parents that his mother came over to say such words to

him.
