Chapter 895
“What’s wrong?” Anastasia’s dark eyes stared at him, making her look like she wanted to kick him.
Frightened by her expression, Marcus quickly backed away. “Calm down. What are you doing p>
Anastasia took a deep breath, shot him a fierce glare, and abruptly stormed out.
She had to find out if it was true. Was it really Juliet?
In her past life, she had looked for Juliet later on but only found traces of her as a C- list actress in the entertainment industry before she suddenly vanished without a trace.
Now it seemed highly likely she had been hidden away by Marcus p>
The more she thought about it, the more pain and heartache she felt.
What had she been doing in her past life? It was bad enough that she had lived so foolishly herself, but she had also failed to protect Juliet, allowing Yolanda to have her killed!
While she was pressing for the investigation results, the Lockwood family was in a fierce battle with Marcus.
Seeing that Marcus was determined to break off the engagement, Yolanda caused a scene every day, even threatening to kill herself by jumping off a building.
Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood were unable to have children of their own and had doted on this one child for years. Seeing her like this, they were frantic and made constant trips to the Jackson residence, hoping to change their minds.
But Marcus was independent and strong-willed, not someone his parents could easily sway. Besides, he hadn’t hidden what Yolanda had done. Now that the whole Jackson family knew, the fact that they hadn’t completely cut ties with the Lockwoods was already a testament to Mrs. Jackson’s long-standing friendship with Mrs. Lockwood. How could they possibly accept such a daughter-in-law?
Seeing they were getting nowhere with the Jacksons, the Lockwoods went directly to Juliet.
Juliet was extremely wary of the Lockwoods. The moment they arrived, she immediately notified Anastasia.
When Anastasia got there, she found all three members of the Lockwood family crammed into Juliet’s house, completely overpowering the lone and isolated Juliet.
At that moment, Mrs. Lockwood was saying to Juliet, What Yolanda did before was wrong, but she truly loves Marcus to death. She can’t live without him. I’m begging you today, please leave Marcus! Give him back to Yolanda p>
Mr. Lockwood followed up, “Yolanda and Marcus have been engaged for years. Everyone knows she is Marcus’s fiancée and the future matriarch of the Jackson family. Ms. Brentan insists on being with Marcus, aren’t you afraid of being labeled a homewrecker p>
Juliet was infuriated by this family. “There is nothing between me and Marcus! If you want to continue your engagement with the Jackson family, then go talk to him and get him to change his mind. What’s the point of coming to me, an uninvolved party p>
“If that’s the case, then please, Ms. Brennan, go tell Marcus yourself! Tell him you have no feelings for him and that he should make up with Yolanda p>
Anastasia was enraged by Mrs. Lockwood’s shameless demand. Why should Juliet have to do what they say?
She strode in, her voice cold. “Why are you harassing Juliet over your issues with Marcus? Yolanda’s engagement was called off because she has a vicious heart and did something Marcus couldn’t tolerate! What does Juliet have to do with any of this p>
Seeing her, Juliet immediately found her pillar of support. Her heart settled, and she quickly stood up and moved to Anastasia’s side.
Anastasia’s mocking, icy gaze fell upon the three Lockwoods. “You really dote on your daughter, don’t you? To threaten a young girl for Yolanda’s sake What did you think don’t exist? Or do you simply have no regard for the Lancaster family p>
