Chapter 932
She looked at Carter, waiting for him to speak, but he just pressed his lips together and looked down in embarrassment, saying nothing.
His reaction was answer enough.
Anastasia still couldn’t believe it. Her thoughts were a mess, but this wasn’t the time to dwell on it.
“I’m taking him with me!” she said directly to Timothy, her sharp gaze fixed on him. “I assume Mr. Lawson won’t try to stop me p>
Timothy said, “Of course you can. But what are you going to give me in exchange, Anastasia p>
“In exchange?” Anastasia’s eyes narrowed. “Does Mr. Lawson think the Lancaster family is easy to bully? You messed with my friend, and I haven’t even settled the score with you yet. Now you’re pushing your luck p>
But Timothy replied, “You’re wronging me, Anastasia. I didn’t touch your friend. On the contrary, I saved him. If it weren’t for me, you’d be seeing him either in the ICU or the hospital morgue right now p>
Anastasia thought she must have misheard. “What did you say p>
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask your friend. He’ll tell you if I’m lying p>
Anastasia immediately turned to Carter.
Carter finally spoke. “Someone tried to kidnap me. This Mr. Lawson’s men showed up midway and took me away p>
Anastasia was stunned. So Timothy really had saved him? Was the man really that kind?
She looked at Timothy skeptically, then her eyes narrowed.
Wait a minute.
“Isn’t that a little too convenient? Carter gets kidnapped, and Mr. Lawson’s men just happen to find him p>
She still held onto her original theory: Timothy was the one behind the recent attacks on the Lancaster Grotip. So the probability that he was the one who had targeted Sonder… Carter, was at least eighty orninety percent.
She was already imagining all sorts of conspiracies, Had Timothy arranged the kidnapping too? But if… so, why have his men ‘rescue Carter midway? What was the point? It didn’t quite make sense p>
But no matter what, she was convinced Timothy was far from innocent. The man was simply not a good person.
“If you don’t believe me, Anastasia, feel free to investigate. With Harrison’s power, finding the real culprit behind the kidnappers shouldn’t be too difficult, right p>
Timothy smiled, full of confidence, because this time he wasn’t lying.
According to his original plan, he
ет
was indeed going to target Sonder.
But who could have guessed that the dues would lead him to discover Sonder’s real identity was Carter?
Once he found that out, he knew he no longer needed to make a move. All he had
to do was expose Sonder’s identity, and Harrison would stop using him.
After all, everyone knew Carter was the illegitimate son Ryan had with another
woman.
And Harrison had never acknowledged this half-brother. If he felt anything for Carter, it could only be disgust.
What he’d said later was also true; he really had saved Carter when he found him being kidnapped.
Of course, bringing him back here, confiscating his phone, and keeping him locked up—that was purely for his own selfish reasons.
After all, if he knew Anastasia and Sonder were good friends, how could he not use the person he had on hand to gain some benefits for himself?
Even if it was just forty minutes of her company, he was quite satisfied.
