Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 45

Ever since her grandson was diagnosed with a terminal illness, Lady had devoted herself to prayer and a vegetarian diet. Hearing May’s tearful story just now, she couldn’t help but sigh and furrow her brow. “Harrison, it’s just a few flowers—let it go. And the porcelain Madonna can always be replaced…”

Harrison’s tone was cool and unyielding. “She stole from her employers, destroyed their property, and then tried to frame someone else. Rosewood Manor can’t tolerate that kind of behavior. Since she made her choice, she has to bear the consequences—there’s no getting around that, no matter how sorry her story sounds.”

Lady knew well enough that playing the victim would never soften Harrison. The man was infamous for his icy heart.

Anastasia could see he was standing up for her, and the thought made her heart flutter. Still, she didn’t want Harrison and Lady falling out over someone as insignificant as May. Discreetly, she tugged on Harrison’s sleeve, signaling him to let it go, then turned to Lady with a composed expression.

“Grandmother, May is a compulsive liar. You can’t believe a single word she says.”

Lady’s frown deepened.

May opened her mouth to protest, but Anastasia’s cold, steady gaze cut her off.

“You said your father’s disabled, your mother’s terminally ill, and your brother needs money for school? Funny, that’s not what I heard.”

Anastasia’s voice was crisp and clear, echoing through the room. “From what I know, both your parents are perfectly healthy—they spend their days gambling and living large. And as for your brother, unless my memory fails me, he graduated high school two years ago and never made it into college. What schooling does he need money for?”

May’s face drained of color. She stared at Anastasia in disbelief.

How did the new Mrs. Harrison know so much about her family?

Of course Anastasia knew—she was drawing on memories from another life.

“Is this true?” Lady’s shock was palpable. She never expected a servant to lie so brazenly, especially to her face.

Anastasia nodded, her expression gentle and innocent. “It’s true, Grandmother. If you don’t believe me, feel free to have someone look into it.”

“N-no, Lady, I—I’m not lying…” May stammered, panic overtaking her. But the guilt in her eyes was impossible to hide. Anyone could see the truth.
