Chapter 1296

Anne remained frozen on the couch as she listened to the triplets muttering to one another outside the door.

“Is Mama not home?”

“Maybe Mama went out with Papa.”

“They didn’t say anything.”

“Let's head downstairs for now!” The servant said.

Anne did not react.

The screen on the television was frozen in frame at the scene where. Lucas answered questions from reporters. After Mia left the room, Anne locked the door and had been still like a statue from that point onward.

Hayden's phone rang and he answered hastily as soon as he saw the name on the screen. “Mr. Marwood.”

“Where's Anne?”

“In the room.”

“She didn’t cause a scene?”

“She tried to go out this morning and fell down the stairs. She scratched her knee and I've ordered a maid to take care of the wound. After that, Mrs. Marwood just stayed in her room and kept the door locked,” Hayden said

“She didn't say a single word?” Anthony questioned coldly.

“No. Mia said that Mrs. Marwood did not say a single word and has only been sobbing while staring at the television.”

Anthony hung up furiously and thought to himself, “She knows that begging me won't help, so she decides to hide in the room and cry?

The end of the Pinnacle Academy was destined and nothing would have changed his mind. However, the fact that Anne fought him for the sake of another man had left his blood boiling with rage and murderous urges.

Anne fell asleep on the couch and sensed the temperature in the room dropping in her sleep. She shivered and opened her eyes, startled by the figure that appeared before her out of nowhere. She took one glance at Anthony, before leaning back against the couch with an exhausted look. “Devastated?” He studied her face coldly.

Anne turned the television off and said, “No. Anthony Marwood, from now on, we... well, it doesn't matter.”

He narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Say that again!”

Anne remained quiet and buried her face into her knees with her eyes closed.

She no longer wanted to think or bother and shut herself up in her own world.

“Look up,” Anthony commanded

Anne did not waver and ignored him.

He grabbed her by the hair and pulled until she was forced to look up.

"Umph...” She whimpered, but her eyes remained cold and emotionless as though she was looking at a stranger.

“What gives you the courage to challenge me for Lucas's sake?” Storm gathered in his eyes.

"How exactly did I challenge you? What have I done? I slept with you last night, didn't I? Thinking about it now...disgusts me.” She chuckled bitterly with tears in her eyes.

Anthony jolted at her words. The look in his eyes darkened as he tightened his grip on her hair. “Disgust? Very well. I will make you regret that you said that!”
