Chapter 665

At fifty years old, Ryan didn’t look his age. He had maintained his physique and still carried the aristocratic air of a man born to privilege.
Harrison ignored his father, his cold gaze fixed on the butler. “Prepare the rooms as I requested. As for the irrelevant people, I don’t want to see them here by this
evening.”
“Yes, sir,” the butler replied immediately.
Lennon, who had been silent until now, shot up. “Dad!” he cried out to Ryan.
That was right. Not only had Susan changed her children’s surname to Lancaster, but she had also instructed them to call Ryan ‘Dad,’ even though Harrison’s parents were still legally married and she was nothing more than a mistress.
Lennon shot a dark look at Harrison. He had moved into the Lancaster estate two months ago and had celebrated with a lavish party. His new residence had earned him the flattery of countless people who now called him Mr. Lancaster. If he were kicked out now, how could he face anyone? What would they all say behind his back?
Crystal, who had just begun to make inroads into certain social circles using the Lancaster name, clenched her fists in panic. Her eyes welled with tears as she looked pleadingly at Harrison. “I don’t want anything from the Lancaster family. I just wanted a place to belong
Her words were so nauseating that Anastasia felt her stomach turn. Before Harrison could respond, she tightened her grip on his arm and spoke first.
“Hubby, didn’t you tell me your mother only had one child? Why is she calling you her brother?”
She feigned confusion. “And you didn’t seem to introduce these three to me earlier. Is there something I’m not supposed to know?”
Emily let out a short, sharp laugh. Like her husband, Todd, she had long despised Susan and her children in contrast, she had taken an immediate liking to Anastasia-a beautifu well-behaved and poised young woman.
“It’s not that Harrison was trying to hide them from you,” Emily
explained with a smile. “He probably just wanted to spare your ears. Your mother-in-law does indeed have only one child He certainly doesn’t have any siblings. As for these three… well, they have no connection to the Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by.net
Lancaster family. And their actual status
She scoffed. “Even if we said it, they wouldn’t admit to it.”
Emily wasn’t one to mince words. Her barbed remarks made Susan and her children flush with humiliation, leaving them speechless.
“Oh, I see,” Anastasia said, her expression a perfect picture of feigned innocence. She turned to Crystal. “In that case, if you’re not related, it’s probably best not to use such familiar terms.”
The coldness in Harrison’s eyes softened slightly. He squeezed her hand, playing along with her little act. “Let’s go. Weren’t you tired?”
As for his orders to the butler, they still stood.
“Harrison!” Susan cried out, tears welling in her eyes. “Lennon and Crystal are your half-brother and sister! If you throw them out, what will people think of them?”
“Mrs. Young,” Harrison’s voice was devoid of any warmth, a clear warning in his tone. “I believe you are well aware that entry to this family. is not so simple. Changing a name doesn’t make them Lancasters.”
As for being gossiped about after being kicked out? They should have considered that before they moved in. If you covet the power and prestige of the Lancaster name, you must be prepared to face the consequences.
