Chapter 1126:
The words struck a chord in Harleeâs heart.
Even after three long years, their bond hadnât frayed.
Harleeâs face softened into a smile.
âThank you. Iâll share the details when the time comes.â
âPerfect,â Tiffany beamed, standing up. She waved as she headed for the door.
Helping Harlee felt good. It made her feel like she still had something of value to offer.
On the drive back, Harlee navigated the highway with steady hands.
However, the more she thought about Tiffanyâs expression earlier, the more something felt off.
Her eyes flicked to Tonya in the rearview mirror.
âTonya, can you look into whatâs been happening with Tiffany lately? Something is not right. Itâs more than just a lack of confidence.â
âGot it,â Tonya responded, flashing an âOKâ sign before diving into her laptop.
âThree years ago, Tiffany was blacklisted online and disappeared from the public eye. She spiraled into severe depression and began self-harming whenever she met strangersâ¦â A deep voice suddenly interrupted from the front seat.
Harlee slammed on the brakes and whipped her head around to see Rhys in the passenger seat, casually scrolling through his phone.
âWhat did you just say?â Harlee asked in disbelief. Tiffany was blacklisted three years ago? Why hadnât anyone told her?
Not wanting to risk reckless driving, Harlee quickly restarted the car and pulled into a nearby parking spot, turning on the hazard lights.

Rhys lifted his phone, showing her a news article on the screen.
âItâs all over the internet.â
By now, Tonya had also found the full story.
Her face twisted in anger.
âHarlee, this is Clintâs admirerâs fault. Look at this!â
Harlee took Rhysâ phone and Tonyaâs laptop and put everything together.
During her darkest days, Tiffany had also been silently going through the hardest time of her life.
And at the center of it all was Clint, the unintentional cause of this catastrophe.
It all began with malicious articles orchestrated by Clintâs admirer, a wealthy girl from the Graves family.
After failing to win Clintâs affection, the girl went to extreme lengths to destroy Tiffany, who had caught Clintâs eye.
The girl had planted misleading photos, spread defamatory articles, hired marketing accounts, and unleashed trolls to tarnish Tiffanyâs reputation. The girl even sent people to provoke Tiffany, pushing her to the breaking point. This
deliberate campaign of ârevengeâ had cost the girl a staggering one hundred million dollars.
Harlee felt a hot surge of fury in her chest.
âThe Graves family? Okay! I see no reason for their company to exist anymore!â
Harlee slammed her hand down on the steering wheel with a force that echoed through the car. She had once hoped that Clint and Tiffany would find happiness together.
