Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 619

Even Winni, her face grim, ordered the guards to seize the maid to prevent her from escaping. None of them believed Anastasia was responsible.

The accused herself, Anastasia, stood protected in the center of her family, unable to get a word in. She was both touched and amused by their fierce defense.

In the crowd, Lauren's face darkened into a hateful scowl. *Why? Why do they protect her?* If she had been the one accused, would the Brennans have defended her so passionately? Unlikely. She was the one who had grown up in their house, yet in the end, she had lost completely to Anastasia.

Suppressing a wave of rage, she fixed her venomous gaze on Anastasia and let out a cold, silent laugh. *It doesn't matter. Her triumph won't last long.*

Upstairs, Logan's expression tightened at the chaos below. He was about to dispatch his men when Harrison stopped him.

"Stay put."

Logan was taken aback. "Mr. Lancaster?"

"Ana has her own plans," Harrison said calmly. "Don't worry about her."

Only then did Logan realize that his employer had remained seated the entire time, not even flinching at the sudden turn of events. He hadn't shown the slightest bit of concern, even when Anastasia was being slandered.

After a moment of stunned silence, Logan understood. What was happening below wasn't an accident. It was something his wife had either anticipated or orchestrated herself.

Realizing this, Logan relaxed, though a question remained. "But with all that chaos, what if Madam gets hurt...?"

Benson's gaze was glacial. "What are you implying? Are you also accusing Ana?"

"I hope it wasn't her," Lauren said, her face a mask of false concern. "But the evidence clearly points to her. Instead of questioning her, you're arresting the witness to silence them. How is that not a cover-up?"

The guests murmured amongst themselves. Though Lauren's reputation was tarnished, her point was not without merit.

Benson was about to argue, but Anastasia placed a hand on his arm, stopping him. Trusting his cousin implicitly, he hesitated for a moment before stepping aside.

Anastasia stepped forward. Anyone else accused of attempted murder would be frantic, but she was the picture of calm.
