As they were talking, someone announced, “Mr. Harrison Lancaster is here!”
Everyone immediately turned to the entrance.
But they saw that Harrison hadn't come alone!
Harrison, who always appeared at such events by himself, actually had someone with him this time!
Anyone who saw Anastasia for the first time would find it hard not to be captivated. Even the group standing with Naomi, despite their critical eyes, had to admit she was truly beautiful.
But at that moment, Anastasia was linking her arm with Harrison’s, who had his head slightly turned, speaking to her in an intimate, lowered voice. The sight was a thorn in Naomi's side, making Anastasia's beautiful face seem utterly disagreeable to her.
“Is that Mr. Harrison Lancaster’s mysterious wife? She really is…”
Someone subconsciously began to comment in a low voice, but they caught themselves midway and promptly shut up, casting an awkward glance at Naomi.
Silence fell over the group. Just moments ago, they had all been flattering Naomi, certain that Harrison was here for her. But what was the reality? He had brought his wife!
Naomi suppressed the suffocating feeling in her chest and walked forward. “Harrison.”
Harrison was in the middle of a conversation with Anastasia. Hearing his name, the couple looked up at the same time.
Looking at this face, which was not unfamiliar from her past life, Anastasia smiled and offered a polite greeting. “Ms. Lawson, happy birthday.”
Naomi managed a smile in return but didn't respond to the well-wishes, which was extremely rude given her upbringing.
“Harrison, I thought you weren't coming.” Her eyes were fixed solely on Harrison.
“I was free, and Ana wanted to come see what the fuss was about, so here we are.”
Harrison’s reply left absolutely no room for Naomi's fantasies!
Anastasia was rendered speechless.
At an occasion like this, inviting Harrison to cut the cake with Naomi? What was that supposed to mean?
As if I'm not even here!
Before Harrison could respond, she spoke up. “I’m afraid that’s not a very appropriate suggestion! He’s a married man. In what capacity would he be cutting a cake with Ms. Lawson?”
“Besides, I hear Ms. Lawson has certain feelings of admiration for him. If he were to agree, I’m afraid some unpleasant rumors would start to spread.”
The faces of the entire Lawson family stiffened.
Morgan was furious. He cursed Anastasia internally for her sharp tongue, but maintained his smile. “Naomi and Harrison grew up together. What kind of unpleasant rumors could there be? Ms. Sterling, you shouldn't have such a dark mind…”
