Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 972

Carter immediately looked up, saying with some urgency, "I'm not!"

Anastasia's lips curled up slightly as she expertly took a seat beside him. "Alright, I know what you're thinking. You're afraid Susan will find out and cause trouble over there again, and you're also afraid Harrison already resents you because of it, so you've decided to back away on your own, right?"

"You must think he's incredibly petty. He doesn't even care about your background, so do you really think he'd start disliking you over this?"

"I called him on my way over. He didn't say anything, nor did he try to stop me from coming to see you. Don't you understand what that means?"

"Anyway, it's settled! You'll continue with the consulting job. If you're worried about Susan finding out, you can just work from home!"

Anastasia stayed for half an hour before heading downstairs.

Seeing her come down, Ryan asked with concern, "Is Carter doing better?"

He had also heard about Susan causing a scene at Frostford, which was why he had been so angry with her just now.

"He's better," Anastasia nodded, her gaze sweeping around the room. "Where's Mrs. Young? There's something I'd like to ask her."

Ryan didn't ask what she wanted with Susan. He just said, "She's in the greenhouse."

Anastasia asked for directions to the greenhouse and started walking.

But Ryan suddenly called out to her. After a two-second hesitation, he said, "I just found out that Harrison has accepted Carter…"

"He has, but that has nothing to do with you," Anastasia said with an eye-roll, not holding back. "The only reason he's willing to accept Carter is because Carter himself is likable, and because he's a good friend of mine. It's not because they share the same father!"

Anastasia smiled without answering. Instead, she said, "I have a few questions for Mrs. Young."

Susan's first instinct was to refuse. Although Anastasia was young, she wasn't easy to deal with.

But before she could say no, Anastasia spoke first. "Let's talk inside. I imagine Mrs. Young wouldn't want a third person to hear what I have to say, especially since… it concerns Mrs. Young's secret."

Susan's heart skipped a beat. She forced a smile. "What secrets could I possibly have?"

But she held the door open and let Anastasia into the greenhouse.

"What did you want to talk about?" Susan asked, her heart pounding as she cautiously closed the door.
