“Anastasia!”
“Juliet?” Turning her head, Anastasia was surprised to see her. “What are you doing here?”
Juliet moved affectionately to her side. “Letitia… I mean, Yolanda brought me!”
Following her pointed finger, Anastasia saw Yolanda linking arms with Marcus, talking to the Lawsons.
Just then, they noticed them as well. Marcus smiled and exchanged a few words with Morgan before leading Yolanda over.
“Harrison, I thought you weren't coming,” Marcus said with a grin.
But seeing Anastasia beside him, he understood why Harrison was here.
While Marcus spoke with Harrison, Anastasia's gaze fell on Yolanda.
“Juliet mentioned that Ms. Lockwood brought her here? Juliet is quite shy and has few friends, so thank you for bringing her out, Ms. Lockwood.”
Meeting her gaze, Yolanda felt an inexplicable pressure. She gave a strained laugh. “Juliet and I have been friends for a while. It’s what I should do.”
Anastasia nodded and said no more.
Later, when no one was looking, she pulled Juliet aside and whispered a warning, “Be careful here today. Don’t trust Yolanda too much. If anything happens, find me immediately, understand?”
Juliet was surprised. Did Anastasia mean that Yolanda would try to harm her?
She didn't want to doubt her friend, but she trusted Anastasia more than she trusted Yolanda.
So she nodded obediently. “I understand.”
Timothy’s first look was one of awe; his second was one of undisguised aggression.
Anastasia frowned, hiding her dislike as she walked over and linked her arm with Harrison’s. “Hubby.”
Timothy paused for a second, then smiled. “So this is the famous Mrs. Lancaster? No wonder you keep her hidden away like a precious treasure, Harrison. If she were mine, I wouldn’t let anyone else see her either.”
If someone else had said it, it might have been a simple compliment, but coming from Timothy, the words carried a different, unsettling weight.
The atmosphere around Harrison instantly dropped several degrees.
He shot Timothy a look.
It was just a single glance, but Timothy felt an immense pressure, a cold sweat breaking out on his back. Still, the smile never left his face.
