Chapter 848
Hearing that from the other end of the line, Harrison instantly understood the danger Anastasia was still in. A murderous glint flashed in his dark eyes.
“Don’t be afraid, Ana. I’m on my way,” he said, his voice a gentle comfort, but his face was a mask of cold, brutal fury that completely contradicted his tone.
He hung up and commanded, “Get there. Now!”
The driver obeyed without a flicker of hesitation. In the passenger seat, Logan glanced into the rearview mirror and felt his breath catch for a second. It felt as if the old Mr. Harrison Lancaster had returned.
It wasn’t that Mr. Harrison Lancaster had gone soft; it was just that as a man with something to lose, his actions had become much more restrained over the years, the raw ferocity all but gone.
Until now…
Harrison’s words instantly put Anastasia at ease.
But at that moment, another car swerved in front of them, trapping their vehicle in a pincer move with the car behind them!
Anastasia’s heart plummeted.
A man got out of the car in front, a thuggish aura clinging to him. He looked vaguely familiar.
Anastasia looked closer and immediately recognized him. It was York, Queena’s suitor from her past life and Yves’s brother!
With a cigarette dangling from his lips, York strode forward and kicked the hood of their car with vicious force. “Ms. Sterling, are you going to get out on your own, or should I have my men *invite* you out?”
“They can invite you, of course, but if that happens, you probably won’t be the only one who suffers!”
Anastasia’s gaze turned icy.
She made a slight move-
—but an arm suddenly grabbed hers.
She turned her head. It was Lester.
“Don’t get out!” he said, his clear eyes filled with genuine worry. “The police should be here soon. Whatever he’s planning, he won’t succeed!”
Anastasia paused for a moment, then gave a faint smile and shook her head. “Don’t worry, I have no intention of getting out.”
Never mind the police; her husband was almost here. She wasn’t stupid enough to walk right into their hands.
Outside, York saw her refusal and his face twisted with malice. He stepped aside and waved his hand at his men.
“Do it!”
A group of menacing thugs immediately swarmed their car.
One of them, holding an iron bar, weighed it in his hand, then swung it hard at the window on Anastasia’s side!
“BANG!”
A loud crash echoed, but it wasn’t the sound of the window shattering. It was the sound of the
barbeing sent flying by a car!

Just as the iron bar was about to strike, a car had forcefully cut in, ramming the
man and sending him airborne!
Following that car, several black sedans seemed to appear from all directions, tightly encircling York and his men!
York’s face changed dramatically. “Who dares to oppose me!”
Just as the words left his mouth, a man stepped out of the lead car. The moment York saw his face, his pupils contracted and terror spread across his features. fo FindNovel.net
He was kicked to the ground without warning, and then an expensive leather shoe stomped onto his face with brutal force.
The man looked down at him, his expression one of pure rage and cold fury, his
eyes looking at him as if he were nothing more than an ant.
“—And what are you, daring to touch my woman?”
“Hubby!!”
Anastasia was overjoyed. She immediately got out of the car and ran to Harrison, throwing her arms around hing Youre finally here?
Harrison’s expression softened slightly. He wrapped one arm around her and
soothed her gently, “Don’t be afraid. It’s over now.”
And on the ground, York saw this and was struck by lightning!
This girl was…?!
