Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 76

A man in a wheelchair appeared before them all.

He was strikingly handsome, his presence so commanding that he exuded authority without uttering a word.

“Mr. Lancaster!” Everyone’s heart skipped a beat.

“What’s going on here?” Harrison’s gaze swept over the crowd, finally settling on Anastasia.

Without hesitation, Anastasia hurried to his side and immediately spoke up, “Thomas and Alice tried to hit me!”

“They tried to hit you? Who gave them the nerve?”

The edge in Harrison’s voice made Thomas and Alice visibly pale.

Mr. Lancaster was actually defending Anastasia? Wasn’t he supposed to be throwing her out of Rosewood Manor?

Thomas didn’t know the full story, but he could sense trouble brewing and instinctively glanced at Alice.

Alice, caught off guard by Mr. Lancaster’s reaction, scrambled to defend herself. Her voice trembled as she protested, “Mr. Lancaster, it was Anastasia who hit me first!”

She pulled her hand away from her cheek, revealing a bright red mark, tears streaming down her face. “Look at what she did to me!”

But she made no mention of what had led to the slap. Anastasia let out a cold scoff, about to retort when Harrison interjected—

“Why did she hit you? What exactly did you do?”

His meaning was clear: unless provoked, Anastasia wouldn’t lash out for no reason.

That was the truth, but Anastasia still hadn’t expected Harrison to take her side so decisively. A spark of delight lit up her eyes as she looked at him.

Alice, on the other hand, was stunned. “Mr. Lancaster?”

“What did you do?” Harrison’s voice dropped, icy and imposing, making Alice break out in a cold sweat.

Harrison’s words were cold as steel, sucking all warmth from the room.

Lady of the house…?

The meaning hit Alice like a thunderbolt. Her eyes went wide.

“But—but, Mr. Lancaster, didn’t you say she should leave?”

“When did Mr. Lancaster ever say that?” Anastasia finally spoke, her tone airy, her gaze mocking.

Alice’s face fell. Had Anastasia managed to soften Mr. Lancaster’s heart?

Panic and resentment twisted inside her—panic at what she’d just done, resentment that Anastasia could be forgiven after everything.

She refused to believe Mr. Lancaster would let Anastasia get away with this. She remembered seeing Anastasia come out earlier, eyes red from crying, heading upstairs as if to pack her things. That had to mean Mr. Lancaster was going to throw her out. He must just be changing his tune now to defend her in front of everyone!
