Chapter 96 “Yay! I can go home and sleep with Ben!” Charlie was overjoyed.
“I don‘t want to go home as well!” “Can we stay in school forever from now on?” Chris asked.
Anne chuckled. She had originally thought that they would have a hard time adjusting, but they seemed reluctant to go home. Once the children were sound asleep, she stepped out to the corridor and saw Lucas walking toward her.
“Mr. Newman, are you not going home?” She asked.
“I will give you a lift,” he said.
“I...” Just as she was about to refuse, horror took over her expression.
“What‘s wrong?” Lucas turned around and saw a towering figure stepping out of the darkness from a distance; his expression was vicious and devilish under the lights as he approached.
Anne instinctively took a step back.
“What are you doing here?” Anthony ignored Lucas and stared coldly at Anne.. Anne paled as her mind went completely blank. “It looks like you didn‘t bear what I said to you in mind.” Anthony‘s voice remained calm, but the sound of it sent chills down her spine regardless.
Anne glanced at Lucas and immediately explained, “it‘s not like that. My...my mom went missing. She said that she would be here...to test the food in the school canteen. She wasn‘t home when I got back and she didn‘t answer her phone. I just thought of coming here to try my luck. It‘s not what you think!” Unable to bear the look of her frightened state, Lucas adjusted his glasses and interfered. “Mr. Marwood, we weren‘t doing anything here.” Anthony‘s expression darkened. “This is between me and her. You have no place to speak here. Come here!”
Anne knew that the last command was directed at her, so she stepped over. As soon as she was before him, Anthony pulled her toward him roughly
“Ugh!” She slammed onto his chest and proceeded to explain nervously, “Please believe me. What I said just now is–”
Before she could finish her sentence, he pressed his lips onto hers and threatened to swallow her whole, his shadow loomed over her face as she gaped in silence.
Lucas scowled at the sight with a dark expression.
“Umph! Don‘t!” She had not expected Anthony to do such a thing and immediately struggled to get away.
‘Why would he do something like that in front of the principal?!‘ She screamed in her mind. A sharp pain shot through her lips at that moment, and she immediately froze.
Satisfied, Anthony let her go and whispered in a hoarse voice, “I will know if you are lving once I look into it.”
Anne gasped for air nervously.
Anthony turned around and noticed that Lucas was still standing in the distance, unaffected by what they were doing.
“Mr. Newman, focus on your job and stay away from those who you are not supposed to be involved with,” Anthony warned, before leaving with Anne.
Lucas did not respond and simply watched as they disappeared into the distance. Naturally, he knew who that man was. He was the main reason why everything was changing in Luton. It was known that Anthony Marwood was a powerful man, but it came as a surprise to Lucas that he was twisted to such an extent.
“Ugh!” Anne was tossed into the car. She sat and stared warily at the man who followed her inside.
Anthony got in and took out his phone to make a call, his eyes still focused on Anne. “Find out where Cheyenne is.” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
He hung up and said, “You seem to be mad at me?” “Why did you do that?” Anne questioned sharply. “Did I need your permission?” He sneered, “Don‘t forget your place.” Anne chewed on her lower lip in frustration while thinking to herself, ‘My place? You mean your plaything, right? That‘s right. As his plaything, I can‘t complain even if he stalks me!‘
