Chapter 775
“We appreciate you taking the trouble to come before, Mrs. Lancaster. I know you meant well, and our family is very grateful. We’ve already hired a well-known medical prodigy to treat my mother-her name is Queena. I’m sure you’ve heard of her?”
“Queena’s abilities are widely recognized. I’m confident she’ll be able to cure my mother’s legs. I’ll be sure to share the good news with you once we have a result.”
Anastasia just smiled faintly at her words.
Queena…
“Of course I’ve heard of her. In that case, I wish your mother a speedy recovery.”
How amusing. In her past life, Queena had built up so much of her reputation by stepping on her.
Outsiders might not know, but she, the victim, was well aware of how much of Queena’s fame was stolen from her own achievements.
Regarding Mrs. West Sr.’s case, if Queena truly had a solution, Penelope would never have had to beg her for help!
It was obvious what would have happened. Once she figured out the cure and successfully treated Mrs. West Sr., the credit would have somehow mysteriously ended up with Queena.
What a shame. She had been on the verge of a breakthrough when she died. The Queena from her past life must have been incredibly furious and disappointed.
As she reminisced, Harrison misinterpreted her thoughtful expression.
His demeanor turned icy in an instant, and an intense pressure radiated towards Cheryl. “Is this your idea of an apology, Ms. West?”
To enter his home, and in his presence, humiliate his wife who gave her the audacity?!
Cheryl’s face changed. Under the weight of his intimidating presence, a cold sweat broke out on her back. “Mr. Lancaster, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t mean anything by it…”
“Hubby, let it go.” Anastasia quickly snapped back to reality, placing a hand on Harrison’s to calm the incensed man.
Harrison frowned.
Anastasia blinked at him, and before he could say anything more, she instructed a maid, “Please show Ms. West out!”
Cheryl was desperate to leave. Seeing that Harrison didn’t object, she hastily stood up and excused herself.
“Why did you stop me?” Harrison
pulled Anastasia into his arms. “Ana, you need to remember who you are. You are my wife, the lady of the Lancaster family. You don’t have to tolerate anyone, because asdong as I’m here, no one has the right to make you unhappy.”
Especially not the insignificant West family, and certainly not Cheryl!
Anastasia was touched. She
explained, “Why would I let myself be

necessary. Let her be smug
She’ll come back begging me later!”
However much Cheryl looked down on her now was how much she would regret it later. After learning the doctor they hired was Queena, her confidence had grown even stronger.
She wrapped her arms around Harrison’s neck and planted a cheerful kiss on his cool cheek. “Don’t you trust me, Hubby?”
Harrison stroked her hair, a sense of resignation in his voice. “Of course I do.”
Since she didn’t want to pursue it, he would let it go for now.
His gaze followed the direction Cheryl had left, his eyes dark and heavy.
Meanwhile, Cheryl finally let out a breath of relief as she left the Lancaster estate.
When she returned, Nelson immediately asked, “How did it go?”
“She accepted the gift. It’s fine now,” Cheryl said, relaxed. “I told you, even if she is Harrison Lancaster’s wife she cant be completely
