Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 578

Anastasia instinctively turned her head.

Beyond the crowd, Mr. Cooper, who had slipped away at some point, was now respectfully escorting Harrison toward them.

A grin instantly spread across her face. She rushed toward him. "Hubby!"

During the conference, Harrison had been too far away for her to reach. Now that they were finally together, she threw herself into his arms without a second thought for the dozens of eyes on them.

A slight curve appeared on Harrison’s lips as he steadied her, his arm wrapping around her waist.

Her action drew everyone's attention to Harrison. Some recognized him, their expressions shifting immediately. Most, however, looked at the newcomer with a sense of apprehension. They didn't know who Harrison was, but they knew Mr. Cooper. A man who could make Mr. Cooper grovel had to be someone extraordinary. Not to mention Harrison's commanding presence, the sheer power in his gaze that sent a shiver down their spines.

Seeing Harrison, Lauren’s heart constricted. She tried to slip away while no one was watching.

But Harrison's gaze flicked toward her. "Stop her," he commanded coolly.

Two towering bodyguards immediately blocked Lauren's path.

Everyone's attention snapped back to her.

Lauren’s heart pounded, but she forced a calm expression. "Mr. Lancaster, I have something important to attend to. Please let me leave."

Harrison ignored her, not even gracing her with a glance. "What's the status?" he asked Logan.

Logan immediately looked down at his phone.

Anastasia opened her mouth to reply, but a hand rested on her shoulder as Harrison pulled her back into his embrace.

She tilted her head, looking up at him quizzically. "Hubby, what is it?"

"It's nothing," Harrison murmured, the corner of his lip twitching into a nearly imperceptible smile. The sight of Anastasia leaping to his defense was incredibly endearing. But this wasn't a fight she needed to shield him from.

"Ms. Brennan," he said, his eyes finally landing on Lauren. "This patient you mentioned. Who are they? What is their age and name?"

Under his intense gaze, Lauren's entire body tensed. She knew he was calling her bluff.
