Chapter 1553

“I have no idea either.” Lucas looked gloomy. “Ever since I came to Luton, I kept feeling that a force

was driving all these behind the scenes. If the car accident was an accident at first, then what about

the gossip online? Someone even mentioned your name. The person has a very strong purpose.”

Anne lowered her gaze a little. “It's not Anthony...

Lucas asked, “Why are you so certain? Have you found out who did it?"

“No...I'm not trusting Anthony blindly. I just felt that having this matter exposed would only bring

harm and no benefits to him. Anthony won't do any losing business,” said Anne.

A lady with the Vallois last name was mentioned online

Her instinctual response was that it could not be Anthony's doing.

“It's beneficial and harmless for him to have me removed.” Lucas’ expression darkened,

"Anthony is no longer the same as before.” Anne wanted to put in a good word for Anthony.

"Anne, a leopard can't change its spots. It's not that I don’t believe him. I just can't think of anyone

else other than him.” Lucas has a great prejudice against Anthony.

Anne could understand Lucas’ feelings.

In his eyes, Anthony was just the same as his enemy.

"Actually, Lucas, something else has happened in Luton,” Anne told him what happened to not let

Lucas be suspicious.

“You know Tommy, right? I don't know if you've heard of Tianya before. It's the name of an assassin

group. The founder is Tommy.”

“I've never heard of it. Then?"

“Two years ago, Tommy captured me and locked me up on a deserted island...” Anne told him

everything that had happened during that time. “Based on what has happened recently, it's very

likely that Tommy has his eyes on you. His true targets are Anthony and me. It's highly probable that

the car accident has something to do with Tommy as well.”

Lucas formed a little. After pondering for a while, he asked, “Do you have any evidence?”

“I don't have any now. But as long as it's because of me, I will certainly give you an answer that's

going to be to your satisfaction.” Anne promised.

Lucas said, “I don't need you to give me an answer. I just want to know who did it.”

"Anthony and I will get to the bottom of it.”

Lucas looked at Anne's face. That kind of expression of her trusting Anthony made him feel

unusually down. “We....are just friends, right?”

“Yes,” said Anne, “Mr. Newman, are you in a relationship?”

“No,” said Lucas, “it's not that I'm not willing. It's mainly because a lot has happened to me in the

past. couple of years as well..."

"Huh? Is it very serious?” For a moment, Anne did not know if she should ask him such a private

question.

“My parents have passed away.”

"What?" Anne was shocked. “They've both passed away?”

“Mm-hmm."

"What happened?”

“My father met with a car accident. Not long after that, my mother passed away because of cancer.”

Lucas turned his face away and looked out the window with an empty gaze.

Anne did not make a sound for quite a while.

Of course, she remembered Lucas’ parents. She even remembered everything that had happened

between them. No matter what, she was familiar with them.

They were unexpectedly gone.

They were still so young...

It must be a heavy blow to Lucas to have his loved ones pass away one after another within a short

period

“It's fine. I've already accepted it.” Lucas did not wish for Anne to feel awkward when facing such

changes, so he comforted her.

That only made Anne feel even worse.

She originally even wanted to ask if his parents, who were abroad, knew about his injury.

“Mr. Newman, just stay at the hospital and keep your mind at ease. Call me if there's anything. I'll

certainly do my best as long as it's something that I can do.”
