Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 614

Mr. Brennan had expected Harrison's resistance. "The Brennan family will not ignore the pain Ana has suffered," he said earnestly. "In addition to what is rightfully hers, we will give her anything else she desires, as long as it is within our power to do so!" His tone was sincere, devoid of any reluctance or pretense. Even Harrison, with his deep-seated resentment, found it difficult to argue further.

"That will be Ana's decision." He glanced up and met Anastasia's eyes as she failed to duck back in time.

She blinked innocently.

Harrison sighed, though he didn't seem surprised. "Come down."

Anastasia descended the stairs, feeling a little sheepish.

The old man looked at her with love and guilt. He repeated what he had just told Harrison, then asked, "Ana, what do you think?"

Anastasia first looked at Harrison. Seeing him remain seated and silent, she knew he was leaving the final decision to her. She felt a wave of relief. "Grandfather," she said, "I only want what my mother left for me. I don't need anything else."

She wasn't greedy. All she had ever wanted was the family's acceptance. Their offer of compensation was more than enough to prove their sincerity.

Her answer only deepened Mr. Brennan's guilt. "The banquet to announce you as the heir," he asked, "shall we hold it in three days?"

"I have no objection," Anastasia replied.

"The Brennans don't owe her a thing!" someone scoffed, glancing disdainfully toward where Lauren stood. "I heard that so-called prodigy isn't nearly as virtuous as she appears..."

Since Anastasia's reappearance, Lauren's misdeeds were hardly a secret. From her blatant attacks on Anastasia on camera to her schemes at the Global Harmony Medical Institute and the medical conference, and even taking credit for saving Benson's life... She had become so accustomed to her elevated status that she, an adopted daughter, had brazenly targeted the true heiress without a second thought.

The Brennans hadn't broadcast her deceit, but they hadn't kept it a secret either. News traveled fast among the household staff, and anyone who heard the story was shocked by Lauren's depravity. Those who arrived at the banquet unaware were quickly brought up to speed, and soon, all eyes on Lauren were filled with contempt.

At past events, Lauren had always been the star. People would flock to her, showering her with praise and flattery.
