Except for Mr. Brennan, everyone in the room had met Harrison before, but his presence still sent a wave of pressure through them, making them tense instinctively.
Mr. Brennan’s sharp, deep-set eyes fixed on the man. "You must be Mr. Harrison Lancaster."
"Mr. Brennan Sr.," Harrison acknowledged with a cool nod.
"Grandfather, Uncle Murray, Winni," Anastasia greeted them one by one, a calm smile on her face.
Winni’s expression soured. She had summoned Anastasia here to apologize, and she had brought Harrison Lancaster with her. What was that supposed to mean? Was she trying to use his power to intimidate them?
After her greetings, Anastasia's gaze fell on Lauren. Seeing the dramatic and conspicuous injuries, she couldn't help but let out a derisive little smile. Lauren was certainly willing to go to great lengths to frame her.
"Ms. Brennan, what happened to you? You look like you've been through the wringer. Did someone attack you?"
Her sarcastic tone made Winni’s face darken. She stood up abruptly. "You, of all people, should know exactly what happened to Lauren."
Anastasia’s expression didn't change. "Funny, I don't seem to recall. Why don't you refresh my memory, Ms. Brennan?"
Lauren shot Winni a pained smile and shook her head slightly. "Winni, maybe we should just let it go…" Her words were a masterful performance, suggesting she was backing down out of fear of Harrison or respect for Anastasia’s position as the true heir.
