Chapter 951

Seeing no room for her to jump in, Anastasia leaned back and leisurely watched the old lady reprimand her.

“Your parents are being ridiculous. Go back and tell them our Ana will not agree to such an absurd request. Since they hired Mr. Austin, and he agreed, they shouldn’t disrespect the old gentleman like this p>

“If this goes wrong, you won’t just offend Mr. Austin, you might also damage the relationship between Ana and her mentor. That simply won’t do p>

Seeing Naomi bite her lip with a wronged expression, the old lady sighed and softened her tone. “Naomi, don’t be upset. I’m not angry at you, but at your unreliable parents. Go back and relay my words to them. You can tell them it came from me p>

Lady nodded kindly. “Alright, you may go p>

A maid escorted Naomi out.

Only then did Anastasia sit up straight and hug the old lady’s arm. “Grandma, I thought you really liked her. Emily said Naomi used to visit you often p>

Lady gave her an amused glance. “No matter how much I liked her, could she ever be more important than you? Besides, that was a long time ago p>

The old lady’s tone was a bit wistful.

She had been very fond of Naomi in the past and had seen her feelings for Harrison. She had even considered setting them up.

But after Harrison made it clear he wasn’t interested, she dropped the idea.

She just hadn’t expected that after so many years, Naomi still hadn’t moved on. Even knowing Harrison was married, she was unwilling to give up and was even disrespecting Anastasia. That displeased her greatly.

Anastasia was grateful for Lady’s support, and the two chatted affectionately.

Meanwhile, as Naomi was leaving, she ran into Harrison, who was just returning home.

Naomi’s eyes lit up when she saw the man getting out of the car, and she quickly walked over. “Harrison p>

Harrison was speaking with Logan beside him. He turned at the sound of his name, but his expression remained unchanged. He gave a slight mod in greeting before turning back to Logan. “Do as I said. See to it as soon as possible p>

Logan nodded.

Harrison started to head inside.

But Naomi blocked his path. “Harrison, I was wondering why I didn’t see you. You weren’t home p>

“Is there something you need?” Harrison made no effort to hide the coldness in his tone.

“I came today to apologize to Ms. Sterling,” Naomi said, looking at him with a pained expression.

“Apologize p>

Perhaps because Anastasia was mentioned, there was finally a flicker of emotion in his voice.

Naomi gave a bitter smile. “Perhaps Ms. Sterling is still holding a grudge against me for what happened before so she’s taking it out on my family She won’t treat Timothy’s leg. Harrison, Timothy can’t be a cripple for the rest of his life p>

She looked up, her gaze hopeful and pleading. “Harrison, can you help me? Please

ask Ms. Sterling not to hold this against me, to agree to treat Timothy. As long as she agrees, I’ll do anything she asks. Please p>

Hearing this, Harrison’s expression turned icy, and he made no attempt to hide his displeasure.

“Naomi,” his voice was laced with a chilling coldness, “Ana has never owed the Lawson family anything Treating Timothy’s leg is not her obligation. You already asked her, and she said no. That is the final answer I don’t want anyone from the Lawson family harassing her again p>
