Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 262

Anastasia took a sip of water from Harrison’s hand, then declared, “I quit!”

Looking up at his sharp, handsome face, she wrapped her arms possessively around his, shooting Alice a defiant glare.

Trying to flirt with her husband right in front of her—did Alice think she was invisible or what?

Harrison indulged her, a fond smile flickering in his eyes. He seemed especially amused by Anastasia’s fierce protectiveness.

Alice’s face went even paler, her heart twisting with resentment.

She snapped, “Yes, I’m the maid’s daughter, but are you really any better? Lady always said I was like a granddaughter to her! The Sterlings are barely even old money—compared to me, you’re nothing!”

Mary, anxious for her daughter, turned to Lady with a pleading, ragged voice. “Lady, my husband saved your life! He died because of you! Isn’t that debt big enough for Alice to marry into the Lancaster family?”

The room fell silent—everyone was stunned, hearing not just Alice but Mary so boldly lay claim to the family’s gratitude.

Lady’s grip tightened on her cane. She took a long, steadying breath. “That’s enough—!”

She stared at Mary, disbelief and disappointment written all over her face. “Don’t tell me you’ve been thinking this way all these years!”

Mary opened her mouth, but Lady pressed on. “Your husband did save my life, and that was worth everything. But haven’t you and your daughter been repaid enough?”

From the very start, Lady had already given them a generous sum—practically a fortune—as a reward. Later, she’d taken them back in, giving them shelter and privilege, never once stopping her support through the years. Wasn’t that enough?

What made Mary think that a debt, already paid many times over, could buy her daughter the title of Mrs. Lancaster?

Even if Lady hadn’t given them money or special treatment, Alice still wasn’t fit to marry Harrison.
