Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 58

“So, what do I have to do to keep you from being angry?” There was a tenderness in his gaze—so subtle even he didn’t notice—his voice indulgent as he asked.

Anastasia glanced back at Aaron, who looked about ready to pass out from the heat in the water, and laughed. Her voice was soft and melodious. “On a scorching day like this, why not let them cool off in the pool, too?”

A faint smile flickered in Harrison’s eyes as he studied the girl before him. His tone was gentle. “Ana, you’re too kind.”

—Kind?!

That word made Mrs. Lancaster and the others wonder if he even knew what it meant!

Just look at their drenched dresses and dripping hair, look at Aaron floundering in the pool, and then listen to the wicked little suggestion she’d just made. How on earth did *Anastasia* and the word “kind” even belong in the same sentence?!

“No—I won’t do it!” Ms. Lancaster stared at the steaming pool in horror, shrieking as she stumbled back.

Suddenly, her eyes reddened as she turned to the striking, dignified man at the center of it all. “Mr. Lancaster, we really didn’t say anything bad about you! Anastasia is just making things up—she’s twisting the truth and blaming innocent people!”

Since Anastasia had no proof, she opened her mouth and lied without a blink. “She’s just out to get me, framing me for things I never did! Why should I be punished for something I didn’t do? Mr. Lancaster, please, I don’t want to get in that water…”

She even started sobbing, her delicate, pitiful act making several of the men in the room ache with sympathy.

Anastasia was about ready to explode.

A minute ago, Ms. Lancaster was calling her “Hubby” names, and now, faced with her handsome “Hubby,” she was trying to flirt? Really?

Anastasia let out a cold snort, ready to retort, but Harrison spoke before she could.

“She doesn’t like you. That’s reason enough for punishment.”

His tone was powerful, cool, and utterly final.

Ms. Lancaster’s sobbing stopped in an instant.

“M-Mr. Lancaster?” She stared at him, wide-eyed, as if she couldn’t believe what she’d just heard.

But Harrison ignored her and turned to Anastasia instead. “What do you want to do?”
