Chapter 907
The news that Harrison was married to a woman named Anastasia from Fairhaven was no longer a secret, but she had yet to accompany him to any major public events. As a result, many had only heard her name but had never seen her in person. Today was the first time.
Anastasia remained composed under their stares, giving a casual nod as a greeting.
She didn’t pay much mind to these friends Naomi was so eager to introduce.
If they were truly friends Harrison acknowledged, he would have personally introduced her to them when she first arrived in Riverton, like Barnett Austin and the others.
As for these people he’d never even mentioned? Friends? They were probably just flattering themselves.
Someone, annoyed by her attitude, shot her a disdainful look and said loudly, “Well, I thought she’d be some stunning beauty. Is this it? What on earth does Harrison see in her p>
“Didn’t everyone say Harrison was going to marry Naomi? Where did this woman come from p>
“I heard her background isn’t great. Who knows what tricks she used to snag Harrison p>
Anastasia had been through a lot and had heard far worse. She didn’t even bat an eye, glancing at Naomi, who stood by without any intention of stopping them.
“I didn’t realize before I came that the Lawson family kept so many dogs. They’re barking so loudly, isn’t anyone going to do something about it p>
The faces of the group immediately darkened.
“Anastasia! You p>
“What?” Anastasia lifted her gaze. “Want to fight p>
The girl who had stepped forward was taken aback by her sharp glare and instinctively stopped in her tracks.
A young man behind her pulled her back and stepped forward, looking at Anastasia with displeasure. “Ms. Sterling, we invited you here today to be friends. Isn’t your behavior a bit classless p>
Anastasia crossed her arms and scoffed. “Class? I only show class to people. Are you people p>
“You!” The man’s face turned livid. He sneered With this attitude, Ms. Sterling, are you refusing our goodwill? You should think carefully Marrying Harrison and making enemies of his friends-do you not plan on fitting into his social circle p>
Anastasia was speechless. She retorted bluntly, “You’re my hubby’s friends? I wasn’t aware p>
“I’ve met all of my hubby’s friends-Barnett, Tyrone Winters, Marcus. And who might you be p>
“Don’t tell me someone is shameless enough to call themselves my hubby’s friend?” The man’s face turned beet red. “Anastasia! I knew Harrison when you were still a nobody! You p>
“So, are you my hubby’s friend or not p>
He was rendered speechless.
Exposed by Anastasia, he could
hardly keep up the pretense and
could only stand there, his face flushed with anger.
At this point, Naomi finally stepped
in to play peacema
just wanted to say hello Ms. Sterling, you don’t have to be so serious p>
Anastasia glanced at her. “So this is what Ms. Lawson calls ‘saying hello’? You’ve really opened my eyes p>
Naomi’s smile faltered.
She had intended to use this to intimidate Anastasia, but not only had she failed, she had also been left fuming.
She could only swallow her anger and say, “Everyone really meant no harm Before she could finish, Timothy arrived with Harrison in tow!
Anastasia’s eyes lit up. “Hubby p>
She ran over and hugged him in front of everyone. “What are you doing here p>
“I came to discuss something with Mr. Lawson,” Harrison said.
