Even Barnett couldn't help but look at her a few more times, his expression growing more complex.
However, he showed no signs of disapproval or dislike. In fact, a soft, amused smile quietly touched his eyes.
After finishing the call, Anastasia remembered to turn to Barnett. "About today... you'll keep this a secret from my Hubby for me, right?"
Barnett smiled gently. "Of course. But... are you only planning on keeping them locked up for a week?"
Anastasia's voice immediately turned cold. "They're not getting off that easily!"
She had already asked Sonder to investigate the finer details of what happened back then. She needed to know everything Harrison had gone through in this place, and then she would repay the siblings in kind, down to the last detail.
*Hmph.* They had better pray that the Paisleys hadn't done anything too cruel back then.
Before long, the second group of men Barnett had called arrived and, following Anastasia's orders, secured the entire hospital.
After instructing them to keep a close watch on their prisoners and ensure they had no contact with the outside world, Anastasia was finally ready to leave.
As she was leaving, her eyes fell on Simon, who was still frozen in terror in the corner.
He was innocent in what happened ten years ago, but he had chosen to get involved today.
She wouldn't subject him to the same treatment she had planned for Lennon and Crystal, but there was no way she could let him go.
She walked over and patted Simon's pale cheek with a sneer. "With this little courage, you still dared to show your face in front of my Hubby?"
Her voice was laced with a threat. "Remember this. The next time you dare to get near him and upset him, I won't mind letting you enjoy the same 'special treatment' that Lennon and Crystal are about to receive."
Simon was petrified, staring at her in horror.
Anastasia turned away. "Let's go, Barnett!"
She was grateful for Barnett's help. Once they were outside, she said, "Barnett, to thank you, let me buy you dinner."
