Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 574

He sighed, shaking his head in frustration. "Honestly, why did you have to quit Unison Pharma at a time like this? After today, that company is going to be the most sought-after workplace for every researcher out there. It won't be easy to get in anymore!"

Jonas stood his ground, his face grim, showing no intention of approaching Anastasia.

"Jonas?" Daniel pressed, finally noticing his son's reluctance.

Jonas gritted his teeth. "I've been helping Lauren scheme against her this whole time," he admitted. "I'll be lucky if Anastasia doesn't hate me. There's no way she'll want to connect with me!"

Daniel's smile froze on his face.

"What did you say?!" he demanded, his voice a mixture of shock and fury.

Jonas was agitated, a faint, unwelcome flicker of regret stirring within him. He had been drawn to Lauren because she was the celebrated genius, the unattainable goddess. He had willingly let himself be used by her. But now, an Anastasia had appeared who completely eclipsed Lauren in every possible way. The moment he saw Anastasia, Lauren’s halo seemed to vanish.

"Lauren, it's always Lauren!" Daniel hissed, barely containing his rage. "For her, you cut ties with your family, and now you've thrown away a massive connection with Anastasia! Are you planning to sacrifice the entire Moore family for her?!"

In the past, Jonas would have furiously defended Lauren at the slightest criticism. This time, he said nothing.

He didn't even have the energy to check on Lauren, who, in stark contrast to the crowd surrounding Anastasia, was now standing utterly alone. It was as if everyone in the hall had forgotten she existed.

Erin was still by her side, the awkwardness of the situation palpable. "Lauren…"

Her expression hardened. "So what if he's Harrison Lancaster? Does that give him the right to be so arrogant?!"

Logan's smile never wavered. "Whether he has the right or not," he said smoothly, "is for Mr. Lancaster to decide."

This Ms. Brennan clearly did not appreciate the full extent of his employer's power.

Lauren clenched her fists. Just then, the event organizer, Mr. Cooper, hurried over. A flicker of hope ignited in Lauren. "Mr. Cooper! This man, Logan, is preventing me from leaving! What is the meaning of this? This is your venue, isn't it? Is Mr. Lancaster showing you no respect at all?!"
