Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 248

There was no doubt about it—someone had tampered with her shoe.

The fact that the broken heel had accidentally helped her didn’t change a thing. Whoever set her up in the first place, she had no intention of letting them off easy.

Mr. Pierce’s face went rigid, his expression freezing in place.

Of course he knew exactly what she was talking about. His own niece, Grace, had been the one to sabotage Anastasia’s shoes. She’d even told him about it beforehand; the plan was to humiliate Anastasia and win favor with Alice.

He and Grace had fantasized about how, once they’d pleased Alice, their futures would be set—endless opportunities, prestige, maybe even power.

Who could have guessed how absurdly things would turn out? Alice was nothing but a fraud, and the person they’d really targeted was none other than someone close to Mr. Harrison Lancaster.

Seeing the way Mr. Pierce’s face contorted, Anastasia was certain—her suspicions were right. He was involved.

She let out a cold, scoffing laugh. “So, Mr. Pierce, how exactly do you plan to explain yourself? I nearly fell off that high stage, you know.”

With Harrison’s icy gaze fixed on him like a blade, Mr. Pierce’s jowls trembled and his skin lost all color.

Mr. West let out a weary sigh.

He could take responsibility for the mishap with the nominations, but this? This was all on Mr. Pierce—a personal scheme with nothing to do with the university.

Mr. Pierce was beside himself with regret. “M-Mr. Harrison Lancaster…”

Harrison ignored him. Instead, he glanced down at the girl in his arms and asked, almost lazily, “How would you like to handle this?”

She was being given the choice?

Anastasia looked between the two headmasters. Her gaze lingered for a moment on Mr. West.

He was a good man—she’d sensed as much, even though she hadn’t been at Kingsbridge University long. In fact, before she’d even enrolled, she’d read about his achievements by chance and admired him deeply. He was a headmaster who truly cared about his students.

So she said, “Mr. West hasn’t done anything wrong. At most, he didn’t supervise closely enough, and he’s already apologized. That’s enough for me.”
