Chapter 1569: Chapter 1130: Just Need a Good Beating

Anthony let out a long sigh, feeling as if he’d just survived a life-or-death scare. Was it really necessary to pull off such a big ploy just to ask a question?

The key issue was that Anthony couldn’t discern whether what she said was true or false, which was extremely rare for him. Either the other party was shrewder and better at acting than he was, or she was genuinely telling the truth.

Was she telling the truth? Anthony’s mind raced, and he asked hesitantly, “What’s wrong with the Great Speaker? What’s he become?”

“He’s become very depressed, very sullen, very lethargic, as if he’s lost all his fighting spirit. He spends every day lying on a stone basking in the sun. When I ask him what’s wrong, he just says he’s replenishing calcium through sunbathing,” Lea explained.

“Sunbathing does help with calcium absorption…” Anthony muttered vaguely, contemplating quickly how to respond. Before he could figure out an answer, Lea fixed him with an intense glare and said, “I hope you’ll spare me some honesty for the sake of the fact that I once liked you.”

Anthony couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly. Why couldn’t she let that go? How was he supposed to navigate this situation?

“This involves some of the Great Speaker’s private matters. Since he doesn’t want to talk about it with you, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to say anything either. Why don’t you ask him directly?” Anthony deflected.

“Private matters? What kind of private matters? Does he have an illegitimate child?” Lea speculated.
