Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 432

Seeing Lauren like this, Winni’s heart ached even more. “Come on, let’s go see your grandmother. Don’t worry—our family will stand up for you!”

Mrs. Brennan was sitting in her armchair, one hand holding her phone, the other adjusting her reading glasses as she secretly browsed the internet.

“Mom!”

Winni and Lauren walked in, startling the old lady so much that she hurried to hide both items in her lap.

“What’s wrong? Oh my goodness, Lauren, why are you crying?”

The moment she saw her granddaughter’s tear-streaked face, Lady Brennan’s tone softened with concern.

Winni struggled to keep her anger in check. “Mom, you have no idea how outrageous Anastasia was this morning—”

She quickly recounted what had happened outside the Global Harmony Medical Institute.

“Lauren is one of us—a Brennan, Cecilia’s rightful heir. For Anastasia to humiliate her like that, isn’t she just trying to disgrace our whole family?”

Lady Brennan let out a weary sigh and turned to Winni. “You go take care of your business. I want to talk to Lauren alone.”

Winni didn’t think much of it; she gave Lauren a reassuring nod and left the room.

“Grandma,” Lauren greeted quietly, obedient as always.

She wasn’t crying anymore, but her eyes were still rimmed red. Usually so composed and proud, seeing her so vulnerable made Lady Brennan’s heart ache all the more.

She clasped Lauren’s hands. “My sweet girl, I know you’ve been wronged. My heart is breaking for you.”

Lauren felt a tiny sense of relief.

If her grandmother’s heart was breaking, surely that meant she would hold the real culprit accountable—

“This time, Anastasia was a bit willful, but you’ll forgive her, won’t you?”

Lauren’s expression froze.

She squeezed Lauren’s hands, her voice as gentle as it was expectant.

Lauren barely managed to keep her composure.

She could hardly believe this was happening.

All these years, Lady Brennan had doted on her, cared for her. Even if she’d once loved Anastasia, surely those feelings had faded by now?

But seeing the old woman’s tears, Lauren felt her heart turn to ice. All her years of loyalty to the Brennan family seemed, in this moment, to count for nothing. She hated how blood ties could be so cruel.

Half an hour later, as Lauren stepped out of Lady Brennan’s room, her face was clouded with anger.

Suddenly, Juliet appeared around the corner. Lauren quickly schooled her expression, her eyes turning cold.

“Juliet, did you say something to Grandma?”
