Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 236

But almost immediately, Alice seemed to remember something. She lifted her chin, squared her shoulders, and shot Anastasia a defiant glance before strutting away with her entourage.

"Pfft, so that's Anastasia? She doesn't seem so tough now. She acts all high and mighty, but the second Alice snatches that spot from her, she doesn't dare say a word!"

"Yeah! I bet she's fuming right now. Too bad it won't help—Alice already got the slot, and she'll be the one greeting the mysterious VIP. No one else."

Alice’s hangers-on looked smug, practically glowing with pride.

"But Alice, why did the vice principal suddenly switch to you?"

At that, Alice's lips curled into a bashful, expectant smile. She couldn’t resist showing off, “Well, the VIP we're welcoming… I have a bit of a connection to him.”

"What kind of connection?” they pressed, eyes wide with curiosity.

Grace’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Wait, is it your mysterious, super-rich boyfriend, Alice?!”

Alice’s smile only grew sweeter, and she didn’t deny a thing.

“Oh my god!” her friends squealed.

Alice looked even more pleased with herself.

She’d only just heard from Mr. Pierce—she never would’ve guessed that the legendary VIP was actually Mr. Harrison Lancaster!

The thought of standing beside Mr. Harrison Lancaster, in front of the whole student body and faculty, made her so giddy she could barely contain herself.

Why was she so bold about stealing Anastasia’s spot? Why didn’t she worry about what Mr. Lancaster would think?

Simple—she still held a trump card. Mr. Harrison Lancaster had once promised that if she got into Kingsbridge University, he’d grant her a wish. She hadn’t used that favor yet.

Meanwhile, as Alice disappeared down the hall, Anastasia gave a small, wry smile.

She turned to Maggie. “Find out what rumors are swirling about Alice these days, will you? Let me know what you hear.”

She needed to understand—when did Alice, the housekeeper’s daughter, suddenly become the darling of high society? And where did Alice get the nerve to challenge her so openly?

Maggie nodded. “Got it. I’ll ask around and report back!”

Back at her apartment, Anastasia sat down to dinner. Something was clearly on her mind. She looked up at Harrison and said, “Honey, I might be busy at school over the next few days. I could be home late.”

Harrison took a crisp white napkin and gently wiped a trace of soup from the corner of her mouth. “What’s keeping you busy?”

“It’s the school anniversary,” Anastasia replied.

Thinking of all the gossip, she added casually, “The celebration’s in three days. I heard the school invited some big shot as the guest of honor. Do you have any idea who it is?”

Harrison’s expression didn’t change. “No idea. If you’re curious, I can ask Logan to look into it.”

She shook her head. “No need. I’m just a little curious, that’s all.”

After dinner, Anastasia went for a nap, while Harrison excused himself to handle some business.

She leaned over and gave him a sweet hug. “I’ll go sleep by myself, then!”

“Mm.”
