Chapter 767

Someone stared at Monica in disbelief and whispered, “…Monica, didn’t… didn’t you say Anastasia’s boyfriend was the son of a mistress?”

But Monica was too stunned to answer. She clutched her dress, her eyes wide with disbelief.

That’s right, wasn’t Anastasia’s boyfriend supposed to be the mistress’s son? How… how could he be Mr. Harrison Lancaster?!

Mrs. Scott was the first to recover. She immediately forced a stiff smile. “Oh, I know Anastasia! She and my Monica were good friends in high school. Is she really Mr. Harrison Lancaster’s girlfriend? What a coincidence!”

She pulled her daughter over. “Monica, hurry up and apologize to Anastasia. Honestly, you two can sort out your little squabbles in private. Why make a scene in front of everyone? Those who know you’ll understand you’re good friends, but others might get the wrong idea!”

Mr. Scott quickly added, “Yes, yes, apologize to Anastasia right now!”

Wiping away cold sweat, he said to Harrison, “It’s just a small misunderstanding between Monica and Anastasia. They’re actually very close. For Mr. Lockwood’s sake, I hope you won’t hold this against Monica, Mr. Harrison Lancaster…..” Before he could finish, Marcus drawled, “Lennon? You mean the son of that mistress? Who does he think he is? You think he’s worthy of Harrison’s consideration?”

A mistress…?

Lennon was the son of that mistress?!

The Scotts looked as if they’d been struck by lightning.

“Wh-what did you say?” Mr. Scott’s lips trembled, his mind going completely blank.

Marcus added helpfully, “Lennon’s mother is named Susan. She’s the woman who interfered in Harrison’s family and seduced his father. Don’t tell me you didn’t know that?”

Mrs. Scott’s vision went black.

“Impossible!” Monica suddenly shrieked, her voice cracking. “Lennon told me he’s a proper Mr. Lancaster! How could he possibly be the son of some mistress?!”

“It’s not exactly a secret. Anyone

with a few connections can find out the name of Susan’s son. Why

Would he to you? Do look like have nothing better to do?”

As Marcus spoke, he noticed the bracelet on Monica’s wrist and let out a surprised “Huh?”

“Isn’t that the bracelet Harrison bought for Anastasia at the auction? What’s it doing on your wrist?”

Instantly, all eyes turned to Monica’s wrist.

Monica froze on the spot.

Just moments ago, they were all sneering at Anastasia for wearing a fake. Now it turned out Monica’s was the fake?

Harrison saw it too and frowned.

Anastasia immediately held up her wrist and waved it in front of him. “I didn’t give it to anyone. Mine’s right here.”

Harrison’s expression softened slightly.

“Well, that’s even stranger,” Marcus

said, enjoying the drama and still annoyed by Monica’s earlier arrogance toward Anastasia He added deliberately if I remember correctly, there isn’t a second one of these in the world. I wonder where Ms. Scott got hers?”

Where did she get it? From Lennon, of course!

Monica felt a wave of humiliation as acute as the pride she had felt while showing it

off earlier.

If Lennon’s identity was a lie, how could the things he gave her be real?!

“Let’s go.” Harrison took Anastasia’s hand and turned to leave.

Marcus followed suit.

In the ballroom, the warm

expressions on many of the guests’ faces had vanished. Without even saying goodbye to Mr. and M Scott, they simply walked out.
