Chapter 640

There had to be something else going on.
And what was the one thing he had denied her? The Uling herb.
“They want Mr. Harrison Lancaster dead, don’t they?”
Dennis’s pupils contracted. Anastasia saw his reaction and knew she had hit the mark again.
Instantly, her face turned to ice.
The people behind this were targeting Harrison.
It seemed the news that Harrison’s illness might be curable had made someone very nervous.
When Anastasia emerged from the break room, her expression was grim. She motioned for Logan, but before she could speak, Joseph hurried over.
“Ms. Sterling, there’s a gentleman at the gate asking for you.”
Anastasia’s eyelid twitched.
Who could have tracked her down here?
And it was so late—almost ten at night.
For some reason, a terrible premonition washed over her. She took a step back and gave Marcus a shove. “You go see who it is.”
Marcus was no fool. He wasn’t going.
“He’s not here for me. Why should I go?”
Logan asked, “What is the gentleman’s name?”
Joseph, confused by their reactions, replied, “The gate guard just called. He didn’t ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ⓝovelFind.net
give a name. I can ask them to check
Before he could finish, Anastasia’s phone rang.
Seeing “Hubby” on the screen, her last sliver of hope vanished.
She answered tentatively. Before she could speak…
“Come out.” Harrison’s deep, magnetic voice was an undeniable command.
Anastasia swallowed hard.
Five minutes later, Anastasia, dragging Marcus and Logan with her as human shields, stood at the entrance of the institute.
In the distance, a discreet black sedan was parked under the dim yellow glow of a streetlight.
Joseph had followed them, his curiosity piqued. Who could this visitor be to command such a serious reaction from Anastasia?
In the car, the window lowered
Harrison glanced over and
halasia hesitating,
Saw
refusing
to come closer. His eyes narrowed.
“Go get your mistress,” he ordered softly.
A bodyguard immediately got out and walked over to Anastasia. “Ma’am, Mr.
Lancaster requests your presence.”
Marcus and Logan breathed a sigh of relief, Without a shred of loyalty, they pried her hands off them and gave her a gentle push forward. Ge on, don’t keep Harrison waiting!”
Anastasia gritted her teeth and walked toward the car, one slow step at a time.
A bodyguard respectfully opened the rear door.
Her eyes met Harrison’s. In the dim light, his handsome face looked both
dangerous and captivating.
“Get in,” he said.
Trying to appear calm, Anastasia climbed into the car.
The door shut behind her with a solid thud that made her heart jump.
“Ahem, Hubby, what are you doing here?”
“What am doing here?” he echoed with a soft, humorless laugh. His long strong fingers. took hold of her chin, forcing her to look at hint you tell me.”
Tell him? What was she supposed to say?
Anastasia didn’t dare make a sound.
Seeing her guilty eyes darting around, Harrison’s grip tightened slightly. “Scared now, are we?”
“Scared of what? I’m just… nervous to see you
A sharp pain shot through her cheek.
“Ow!” Anastasia’s bravado crumbled. She threw herself into his arms. “Hubby, I was wrong!”
Harrison’s hand moved to the nape of her neck. “Wrong? And where exactly did you go wrong?”
