Chapter 1291

“Don’t say that. This is all my fault. It’s my bad. I’m sorry…” Anne sobbed, her tears blurring the sight of everything before her.

“Lucas…has he done something wrong?” Joanne asked. She knew that what was happening had something to do with Lucas’s feelings for Anne, but did not know the details of the recent events.

“He did do something, but he only did so with good intention. It wasn’t wrong…” Anne could barely breath with the pain spreading across her chest.

Both Lucas and Anne could not possibly have been wrong, Anthony was merely a monster and crossing a monster could never end well.

“Mrs. Newman, I will talk to Anthony. Don’t worry.”

“Okay. Thank you, Anne.”

Anne hung up and froze in place dazedly. She had thought that the Newmans would survive this crisis and that Corentin would be able to deliver good news, so she called Corentin and asked, “Uncle, how are things? I heard that the Pinnacle Academy is closing down. Is there no way at all?”

“I reached out to my connections, but Anthony is too powerful. My sources told me that Anthony is determined to destroy the academy this time. Anne, you should stay out of it,” Corentin said.

“How can I stay out of it? Anthony is destroying the academy because of me!” Anne could bear with all the suffering, but not when she had caused others to suffer.

“I can’t help you.”

“…Alright. I will figure something else out…” She hung up, her heart sinking in despair.

In the end, she was left with the option to beg for Anthony’s mercy, which was terrifying on its own, but she had to try.

Joanne had never sought her help no matter what happened to the Pinnacle Academy in the past, and the fact that she had made an exception this time meant that the situation could not be worse.
