Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 898

Mr. Lockwood’s expression shifted. He quickly said, “Ms. Sterling, you’ve misunderstood. We weren’t threatening Ms. Brennan at all, just pleading with her. We have no intention of making an enemy of the Lancaster family.”

“Pleading for what?” Anastasia shot back. “Wasn’t what Juliet just said clear enough? She has no relationship with Marcus! If you want to salvage the engagement, go to Marcus! What’s the point of coming to an innocent party?”

“And you, Mrs. Lockwood, you’ve truly opened my eyes. How could you say what you just said? Asking Juliet to make Marcus change his mind? That’s hilarious! Anyone who didn’t know better would think she actually has something going on with Marcus, or that she owes Yolanda some huge debt! But the reality is, Yolanda just tried to frame her by jumping from a balcony!”

Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood’s faces flushed then paled at her words.

Everyone said Anastasia Sterling was sharp-tongued, and it was certainly true.

Mrs. Lockwood was cornered and uncomfortable, but for her daughter’s sake, she had to swallow her pride. “I was wrong to say that just now, but I was just anxious. I didn’t mean to order Ms. Brennan around.”

She looked haggard as she sincerely addressed Juliet. “I was offensive earlier, and I hope Ms. Brennan can forgive me. Now, I’m begging you, Ms. Brennan, can you do us this favor? We aren’t implying there’s anything between you and Marcus, but he himself admitted he likes you. Since you have no feelings for him, if you tell him that yourself, he might give up the idea and be willing to reconsider calling off the engagement.”

Mrs. Lockwood’s tone was humble, but it didn’t change the shamelessness of her request.

Juliet was furious again and about to speak, but Anastasia held her hand.

Anastasia looked at Mrs. Lockwood with a cryptic smile. “I heard Ms. Lockwood isn’t your biological daughter, but you seem to love her no less than if she were your own.”

Seated between her parents, looking pale and gaunt, Yolanda, who had been silent the whole time, felt her heart leap at those words.
