Chapter 749
At her words, Susan immediately became defensive and cried out, “Lennon is covered in blood and can’t even speak! How could his injuries possibly be minor! Are you trying to deny responsibility by spouting such nonsense?!”
Anastasia raised an eyebrow. “Then I’m even more confused. If his injuries are so severe, why didn’t you take him to a hospital instead of bringing him here? Or is it that you simply don’t care about his life?”
Susan and Crystal were struck speechless.
“Lennon is my son! How could I not care about his life?” Susan said hurriedly, meeting the old master’s questioning gaze. “I’ve already called for a doctor; he’s on his way. The reason we didn’t go to the hospital is because we are determined to get justice, even if it means bearing with these injuries!”
“Anastasia, what did my Lennon ever do to you that you would be so cruel as to want him dead?!”
The old master once again turned to Anastasia, waiting for her answer.
This time, Anastasia didn’t beat around the bush. A cold smile touched her lips. “I just had him try out a few programs, and now he’s on the brink of death? I heard my Hubby was also sent to that place once. He seemed to have survived just fine, didn’t he?”
A dead silence fell over the room at her words.
In an instant, everyone understood why Anastasia had done this.
The Lancaster family had kept the incident under wraps from the public, but within the family, apart from the younger generation, who didn’t know about it?
Emily immediately sneered. “That’s right. Our Harrison was fine, but your son is so delicate that he’s about to die?”
Debby, fingering her prayer beads, smiled faintly. “Lennon doesn’t look that badly injured to me. He may not be talking, but he seems to be in good spirits.”
Todd said leisurely, “Anastasia is clearly a kind-hearted and sensible child. She would never actually try to kill someone. She was probably just playing a prank on Lennon. Susan, you’re making a mountain out of a molehill.”
Anastasia blinked, a small smile curving her lips. She relaxed completely, feeling that with these elders on her side, she probably wouldn’t have to fight this battle herself.
The old master lifted his weary eyes. “Susan, do you have anything to say?”
Susan’s face was a mask of shock and disbelief.
Anything to say?
Hadn’t she said enough already?
Anyone with eyes could see the state Lennon was in. What more needed to be said?!
Did the old master’s question mean he agreed with Todd and the others, that he also thought Anastasia was just playing a “prank”?!
“Master Lancaster! Look at my Lennon! Does this look like Anastasia was just joking with him?!”
The old master’s expression remained unchanged. He said slowly, “Anastasia is young. She sometimes doesn’t know her limits.”
Despair washed over Susan’s face!
She looked around for help, but Ryan was away on business today.
And Victor who had been furious earlier, had clammed up the
moment Anastasia mentioned
Harrison’s past. He was completely useless now.
Faced with a family that was completely shielding Anastasia, Crystal was also stunned and at a
loss for words She could only turn
to her mother. “Mom…”
“The Lancaster family can’t do this!” Susan’s tear-streaked face shot up, her voice
hardening. “Today, Anastasia must—”
“Must what?”
A glacial voice suddenly cut in.
Everyone instinctively turned
towards the sound and saw a net
slender figure striding towards them. .
“Hubby?!” Anastasia rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was seeing things.
Wasn’t Harrison on a business trip abroad? What was he doing back in the middle of the night?!
