Chapter 889
Astonished, Anastasia rushed outside while asking, “What happened p>
Juliet quickly recounted the events.
Yolanda had invited her out several times, but she had refused with excuses. Juliet thought that would be the end of it, but she never imagined that if she wouldn’t go out, Yolanda would come directly to her!
“She was being completely ridiculous! She came in and accused me of… of seducing Mr. Jackson!” Juliet was still fuming as she spoke.
She knew Marcus, but she didn’t consider them close and had never done anything improper. When had she ever seduced him p>
She had considered Yolanda a good friend, but in just two days, her attitude had completely changed, as if she were a different person.
Or maybe her previous friendliness had all been an act.
Thinking back to the party at the Lawson estate, Juliet couldn’t help but suspect that might be the truth, no matter how much she didn’t want to believe it.
“I didn’t want to deal with her and asked her to leave, but then she started spouting some nonsense about how she wouldn’t let me take Mr. Jackson… and then she ran upstairs and jumped from the second-floor balcony p>
Juliet was still in shock. What was Yolanda trying to do p>
“Don’t panic. Call for an ambulance. I’m on my way p>
Anastasia’s voice calmed Juliet, who clutched her phone, feeling less frantic.
Anastasia went straight to the hospital.
She found the room and saw Juliet being cornered and questioned by a middle- aged couple.
Anastasia’s eyes narrowed. She strode forward and pulled the helpless Juliet behind her.
“Anastasia p>
“It’s okay.” Anastasia faced the
red-eyed woman. “You must be Mrs. Lockwood? I’m also curious why Yolanda would show up aduffet’s place and jump from the second floor p>
“Juliet has been deeply frightened by this incident, and I hope the Lockwood family can give me an explanation p>
“And you are p>
“Anastasia Sterling p>
Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood had never met Anastasia, but they had heard her name and knew her relationship with Harrison, so they had to rein in their anger.
“Ms. Sterling, we weren’t aware of your connection, but regardless, Juliet must give us an explanation for what happened to Yolanda p>
Thinking of her daughter lying in the hospital bed, Mrs. Lockwood fought back tears. “I know the Lancaster
it
family is powerful, but if anything. happens to Yolanda, the Lockwood
family will not let this go p>
Anastasia’s voice was cold. “Coincidentally, if Yolanda doesn’t give me a satisfactory
explanation for today’s events, I won’t let it go either p>
Just then, two figures hurried over-Marcus and Harrison!
Harrison knew Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood, but this time, he didn’t greet them first.
Instead, he went straight to Anastasia’s side. “What happened? Is Juliet okay p>
He stood beside Anastasia, his intention to support her perfectly clear.
Anastasia recounted the facts.
“Yolanda has been trying to get
Juliet to go out with her for the past
few days. Because of what
happened at the Lawson party
where Juliet v
tricked and nearly
assaulted, and Yolanda was a key
suspect, Juliet didn’t trust her
anymore and refused several times p>
“But we never expected Yolanda to show up at her house and stage a fall from the
second floor. Now Juliet is severely traumatized p>
