Anastasia gave Timothy a suspicious look, feeling that he wasn't lying.
But if it wasn't Timothy, who else would want to kidnap Carter?
"Whatever compensation you want, you can discuss it with my hubby later!" Pushing the question aside for now, Anastasia stated directly.
Timothy was not a simple man. Even with her advantages from a past life, she wasn't sure she could get the upper hand, especially when he seemed so well-prepared.
So, she didn't hesitate to bring up Harrison.
She might not be Timothy's match, but Harrison was a different story.
She had absolute faith in her husband. Timothy thought he could get one over on Harrison? Hmph, in his dreams.
Timothy was not pleased with this answer. He stared at the girl before him, his tone tinged with danger. "'In exchange' means I get something that satisfies me, and then you get the person you want to take."
He reminded Anastasia, "Bringing him back, finding a doctor to treat him, and keeping him safe until now—I wasn't doing it out of the goodness of my heart!"
"Then what does Mr. Lawson want? Are you planning to keep him detained here?" Anastasia smirked. "I'm afraid that won't be possible. My hubby should be arriving any minute now."
Speaking of Harrison, she lifted her chin, her confidence soaring.
Timothy was torn between finding her arrogant demeanor adorable and hating her reliance on Harrison.
But she was right. If Harrison really showed up, could he continue to hold Carter here?
Just as Timothy was about to speak, a maid rushed in.
"Mr. Lawson, sir and madam are here!"
Morgan snorted coldly at his words, not answering him. Instead, he addressed Harrison, "Now that you've seen she's unharmed, I suppose you can rest easy, Mr. Harrison Lancaster? Timothy just invited her over as a guest. Did you really think he would do something to her?"
Hearing his sarcastic tone when addressing Harrison, Anastasia couldn't help but look over.
She saw Morgan's grim face as he continued—
"Mr. Lancaster, I am your elder, yet you've become more and more outrageous lately! I let the previous incidents slide, but this time you even resorted to threatening me. Are you disregarding me, or are you disregarding the entire Lawson family?!"
His two sentences made the whole situation clear to everyone present.
It seemed Mr. and Mrs. Lawson were here because Harrison had threatened them.
Harrison gently stroked the soft hair of the woman in his arms, then looked up and said flatly, "So what if I disregard you? And so what if I disregard the Lawson family?"
