Chapter 706

Sensing something was wrong, Monica quickly grabbed Lennon’s hand and asked, on high alert, “Lennon, you know her?”
Lennon, who had been hesitating about whether to acknowledge Monica as his “girlfriend” after hearing Anastasia’s question, was now irritated by her lack of tact. He roughly shook her hand off.
Completely ignoring her, he fixed his gaze solely on Anastasia and flashed a smile. “Today’s my birthday party. I’m so glad you could make it, Anastasia. Come, have a seat!”
Lennon’s reaction stunned everyone else in the room. The man who called himself “Mr. Brown,” who had just picked himself up from the floor and was about to confront Anastasia, froze in his tracks.
He asked tentatively, “Mr. Lancaster, this is
Before Lennon could answer, Monica exploded.
“Lennon! I don’t like her, tell her to get out!” She clung to his arm, glaring at
Anastasia with proprietary hostility. “Anastasia! You’re not welcome here! Get out!”
“Shut up!” Lennon violently shoved her away, his face dark. “Is this your place to speak?”
Caught off guard, Monica tumbled onto the sofa and stared up at Lennon in disbelief.
Anastasia watched them, a smirk playing on her lips.
Monica treated Lennon like a prize, dreaming of marrying into the Lancaster family.
But what would her reaction be if she knew that Lennon wasn’t a legitimate young master of the Lancaster family at all, and that his origins were anything but respectable?
And Lennon, acting so arrogantly… did he really think he was someone important?
After pushing Monica aside, Lennon turned his heated gaze back to her. “Anastasia
“Shut up!” Disgust washed over Anastasia. “Did I give you permission to call me that?”
A sudden silence fell over the room.
Everyone stared at Anastasia in shock.
Lennon’s face contorted.
He was obsessed with his reputation. For Anastasia to humiliate him in front of so many people was more than he could bear.
In that moment, all thoughts of her beauty vanished, and his expression darkened. “Anastasia! Don’t you-!”
“Don’t push my buttons?” Anastasia scoffed, her tone dripping with mockery. “Take a good look at yourself. Are you even qualified to make me do anything?”
Looking at Lennon filled Anastasia with revulsion. She already disliked him, but seeing what he’d done to Gwen fueled her anger.
If she hadn’t shown up, what else would they have done to Gwen?
“Anastasia!” Now free, Gwen quickly grabbed Anastasia’s hand, her face etched with anxiety She whispered, “He’s a Lancaster you can’t afford to cross him. Don’t
But Lennon had already been pushed past his breaking point.
He let out a sinister laugh. “Anastasia, you rejected my kindness, so don’t blame me for what happens next! You look down on me Finer just have. See for
myself what you taste like!”
As he spoke, he lunged forward, reaching for Anastasia.
An icy glint appeared in Anastasia’s eyes.
-You’re asking to die!
But before she could even make a move, someone pulled her back, and at the same time-
“Ah!!”
Lennon was sent flying backward by a powerful kick before he could even touch her. “You said you wanted to do what, hmm?”
The tall figure standing protectively in front of Anastasia radiated a murderous aura, his face a mask of cold fury. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on
Anastasia froze for a second before
it registered. She rushed forward and hugged his arm, a beautiful smile spreading across her face. “Hubby!” she exclaimed, overjoyed.
Harrison patted her hair reassuringly.
On the floor, Lennon clutched his stomach in pain. When he looked up and saw the man before him, raw fear flooded his eyes. In that instant, he was stone-cold sober.
