Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 453

Once Anastasia understood what had happened next, she lost all interest in Lauren.

She spent a while keeping Harrison company, then turned to see Marcus hobbling enthusiastically around the room on his crutches, as if he hadn’t had legs in centuries.

When Marcus noticed her watching, he lit up with gratitude and impatience. “Anastasia, when will I finally be back to normal?”

Anastasia glanced at the screenshot on her phone—a certain someone had once promised to eat a shoe on livestream if she managed to heal Marcus. Smirking mischievously, she replied, “If you keep up with my acupuncture sessions, you’ll be walking without those crutches in about ten days.”

For a split second, Marcus’s handsome face went stiff, a sharp sense of impending doom prickling at his instincts—like some villain had it out for him.

But come on, he thought, this was Rosewood Manor. No safer place in the world! Who could possibly want to hurt him here?

Must be his imagination.

He shook off the feeling and resumed his determined laps around the room, eager to get back on his feet.

Ten days, and he’d finally ditch these crutches. He could hardly wait!

He said as much out loud, and Anastasia tucked her phone away, giving a slow, almost ominous smile. “Believe me, I’m looking forward to it, too.”

Just then, Harrison finished his phone call and walked over. In an instant, he saw the glint of mischief in Anastasia’s eyes.

He only raised an eyebrow, giving his friend a meaningful look.

As the saying goes, sometimes trouble is just a blessing in disguise. Marcus must have done something to deserve his, and Harrison wasn’t about to interfere.

The next day.

Anastasia headed off to teach at Global Harmony Medical Institute.

As her car pulled up to the entrance, she happened to spot another vehicle arriving across the street.

Her eyes narrowed—it was the Brennan family’s car.

Anastasia was Cecilia’s own daughter, after all.

Lauren, adopted into the family, had repeatedly gone after Cecilia’s biological daughter. The fact that Harrison—Anastasia’s husband—was involved made Lauren’s actions even more suspicious. People couldn’t help but wonder: was this really an accident?

Sure, Anastasia’s reputation over the years hadn’t been perfect. But if anyone had the right to criticize her, it certainly wasn’t Lauren.

Lauren had already taken things from Anastasia—now she was targeting her publicly, too. It was only natural for people to start questioning Lauren’s motives.

Did the Brennans really have nothing to say about all this?

Clearly, Lauren had seen the comments online and was starting to panic. She desperately wanted to prove that the Brennan family still cared about her.

So today, she’d made sure Benson personally drove her to campus.

And the timing was no accident, either. They arrived just as Anastasia did—so everyone could see that, while Benson ignored his own cousin, he was going out of his way for Lauren. If anyone caught sight of them together, public opinion would surely start to shift in Lauren’s favor.
