Chapter 256

"You are pretty charming to have become Anthony's toy and to get Lucas to break his personal

principles for you. I can't help but feel pretty impressed by you!" Tommy lamented.

Anne looked confused.

What kind of charm would she have to be Anthony's toy? It was as though saying herself was

charming because she got bitten by a dog?

However, why did he have to bring Lucas up?

Could it be that Tommy had already gotten to know everything about the incident that happened

yesterday?

"None of your business.”

Tommy said, "This is very much my business! My recent investment abroad is about mineral

resources, I would like to get a partner to share the risk with me. I did not expect Lucas to be

agreeable. You see, he is an education guy. How would he suddenly be interested in investing in

mineral resources? I reckon it was all because of you?"

Anne was stunned.

It was actually because of the incident in the office. She knew that Tommy's influence was not in the

Marwood Group.

This man was gifted in business management.

He had controlling interests in eight companies outside of those belonging to the Marwood Group,

plus non-controlling interests in over twenty such companies. She was pretty sure that he had

stakes in companies abroad too. Therefore, his positions within the Marwood Group were mostly

only on paper and non

executive. He behaved more like an heir with a nonchalant personality.

He did not even care how much shareholding he had within the Marwood Group.

A person who had his own capabilities to earn his own bread would not care to fight for the meat

with other people. He was more « indulged in self-exploration.

The way that he was opposing Anthony probably did not have anything to do with these.

Otherwise, it would not be to the extent of needing to kill.

However, Lucas and Tommy collaborated... It reminded Anne of the night that Lucas told her about

tackling Tommy.

Did he want to tackle him from her side?

"Nevertheless, since he wanted tr collaborate with me, he will have to pay a hundred and one

percent attention to this,” Tommy said.

"You are in a collaborative relationship. Even though the Newman family was the founding family of

Pinnacle Academy, in fact, they are businessmen at the core. Don't you think too highly of yourself.

Plus, his behavior had nothing to do with me. He would get his fair share in the business, isn't it

supposed to be like this?" Anne said calmly, then pushed Tommy away and walked out of the

restroom.

Tommy lay against the door frame lazily. He looked at Anne's silhouette and asked, "Did you abort

the baby? Was it Anthony's baby?"

Anne felt her spine freezing at once.

"You should have kept your baby to threaten Anthony with it. What a silly girl. Nevertheless, you are

going to be completely

destroyed inside out by Anthony this way..."

Anne clenched her jaw, turned around, and walked to Tommy. " Let me leave? Don't stay in Luton,

can I? If I were destroyed, who else could you blackmail by then? You keep me just because you

wanted me to tackle Anthony. Do you really think I am not aware of this?"

Tommy did not look pleased. "Don't think so badly of me. I would be sad hearing this."

"Go to h*lI'" Anne cursed, turned and walked away.

"Anne, stay strong. Don't you collapse.”

Anne held her grudges in. She could not do anything to Tommy.

She did not have enough strength and money. There was no way that she could win this!

After work, Anne called Lucas or her way to the train station and asked him about his collaboration

with Tommy.

Lucas told her that he only intended to diversify his assets. If that were a good project, it would be

good.

"Was it because of me?" Anne could not help but ask.

“Not entirely so,” Lucas replied.

Anne was relieved and said, "Don’t you do anything for me.

Principal, I have something to tell you..."

“Please do.” Lucas's voice lowered. Perhaps he could sense what she was about to tell.

Anne suppressed her sadness and said, "You deserve a better girl, not me. I am giving up. Please give up too."

Ultimately, she did not deserve him.

She was only dreaming of that portion of warmth and sweetness

that never belonged to her.
