Chapter 1168:
Upon hearing this, Hamilton sank into his bed. It was all falling apart. Rhys had been caught in the act.
And he wouldnât be the only one facing consequences.
When Harlee arrived, she found Goodwin and Hamilton already seated upright on the carpet.
The moment Harlee entered, both men prostrated themselves without hesitation.
âMiss Sanderson, I made a mistake.â
âMiss Sanderson, I deserve your punishment.â
Moving toward them at an unhurried pace, Harlee stopped just short of delivering a kick. Instead, she shifted gracefully and settled onto a nearby sofa. She glanced at them indifferently, her voice devoid of any warmth.
âCare to explain why he was shown such porn?â
Hamilton and Goodwin exchanged looks, silently deciding that self-preservation outweighed brotherhood.
Hamilton quickly jabbed Wilson with his elbow before speaking first.
âIt wasnât my fault! Goodwin was responsible. I was just there and didnât report it fast enough!â
Goodwin shot Hamilton a glare and then immediately countered, âMiss Sanderson, I⦠I only showed Mr. Green those clips because I had no choice.
He was the one who suddenly asked for a way to, well, master how to make out with a womanâ¦â
Harleeâs expression grew colder, forcing Wilson to abandon his defense.
He swallowed hard and began recounting the events in detail.
âThatâs everything. The truth is, Mr. Greenâ¦
He had an erection toward you andâ¦â Wilson faltered, his words trailing off awkwardly before he quickly regained himself.
âI had no choice but to give him those⦠educational materials. I didnât think heâd devour it so quickly. Within days, he was pestering me for more. I couldnât go against his wishes, so I handed over my collection.â
His voice grew weaker and weaker.
Raised in a modest countryside, Goodwin, despite being a generation senior to Rhys, had managed to pursue a medical career solely due to Rhysâ assistance.
Consequently, his allegiance had always remained with Rhys.
It wasnât until three years ago, after a fleeting meeting with Harlee at the villa, that Goodwinâs outlook changed, and he began to prioritize Harlee over Rhys.
He understood thatâ¦
Between the two, siding with Harlee was the wise choice. If Rhys held him accountable, Harlee would protect him, and he would be spared.
But if Harlee went after him, Rhys would simply comply with her wish without hesitation.
Harleeâs face revealed nothing, but internally, her thoughts were a whirlwind. Rhys had an erection toward her? Seriously? The idea seemed absurd. She couldnât help but wonder if Rhysâ physical condition didnât clash with his teenage mindset.
