Chapter 938
Anastasia was still surprised. “But why would he target Carter p>
Harrison pulled her into his arms and said casually, “If he had kidnapped someone else, he’d inevitably go to jail if he got caught. But with Carter as the target, things are different p>
Anastasia immediately understood his meaning.
Who were Carter’s parents? Ryan and Susan!
Susan was Lennon’s mother, and as for Ryan, if he had even an ounce of affection left for Susan and her son, he would never have the heart to let Lennon go to prison!
Harrison continued, “I heard Lennon went to Ryan for money a while ago but was turned away. He probably planned this kidnapping out of resentment p>
Anastasia nodded.
Of course he’d be resentful.
For so many years, Lennon had seen himself as Ryan’s son and had taken it for granted that he deserved a share of the Lancaster family fortune. When Ryan abandoned them and suddenly started living the good life, how could he not feel that he deserved a piece of it?
But Ryan only cared for Carter and ignored him, refusing to even give him money when he asked. It was only natural for him to be resentful!
“So what’s happening now?” Anastasia turned and clung to Harrison, pressing for details. “Did Ryan figure it out? Will he send Lennon to prison p>
Harrison’s expression was indifferent. “Susan is causing a scene right now. Who knows if Lennon will go to prison p>
“Was Susan involved in this?” Anastasia asked again.
She remembered that Susan was the first to tell Ryan that Carter was missing, and she had felt something was off back then.
Knowing she was interested, Harrison had gathered all the details and now explained, “Susan wasn’t directly involved. She didn’t know about it at first, but when she found out, she chose to help Lennon Cover it up p>
But neither mother nor son had expected Timothy to show up out of nowhere and take Carter away.
When they got the news, Lennon was scared out of his wits, and Susan was frantic. But neither of them dared to call the police or Ryan.
After nearly two days with no news of Carter, they finally panicked and contacted Ryan, telling him Carter was missing.
Of course, they completely concealed the prior kidnapping attempt.
But they never imagined that,
prompted by Anastasia’s
by Anastasia’s suspicion,
Ryan would launch a targeted
investigation and uncover the whole
story with little effort!
Now, Ryan wanted to call the police, and Susan was desperately trying to stop him.
It was unclear if Ryan would have the heart to go through with it.
Anastasia frowned, annoyed. “Carter is Susan’s biological son, right? How could she be so biased p>
Before, she had merely sighed for Carter, but now that she knew he was Sonder,
she couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for him.
What terrible luck to be stuck with a mother like that!
Harrison looked down and saw the pity in her eyes. His mood instantly soured. He cupped her chin, making her look up at him.
“Feeling sorry for another man right in front of your own husband p>
Anastasia’s beautiful eyes widened innocently. “But he’s my friend p>
Before Harrison could say anything, she immediately turned and threw her arms around him, snuggling into his chest dependently and coaxingly. “I know my hubby is the best. You didn’t even say anything when I brought him back earlier, så you definitely let me keep being his friend in the future, right p>
