Chapter 161:

“No, I’m not…” Emery blushed with embarrassment.

Brenton was pleased with Harlee’s response, letting out a low “hmm.”

Harlee leaned in close to Emery and whispered, “I’ve seen you before, in a picture by Brenton’s bedside.” She then gave Brenton a wink, silently mouthing, “Good luck.” She had fulfilled her role as a sister.

Returning to her seat, Harlee was about to leave after finishing her tea when she was blocked.

“Miss Sanderson, your parents are awaiting you on the 88th floor of the Grand Oak,” Kane said, dressed in a suit.

“Alright.” Harlee proceeded to follow Kane to the vehicle. Once he closed the door behind her, he climbed into the front passenger seat.

Kane’s attention was solely on Harlee, unaware of Etta and her two devoted companions stepping out.

“Etta, wasn’t Kane supposed to pick you up? Why did he leave after closing the door?”

“Yeah, I thought we’d get another ride in the Sanderson family’s car. Why wasn’t he here for you?”

They only observed Kane closing the door, unaware of whom he was escorting.

But Etta recognized Harlee right away, the one who had thrown her into the packs of pythons, making her too afraid to return to the Sanderson family place.

Etta’s fist clenched tightly inside her sleeve, nearly piercing her skin, yet she maintained her composed facade.

With a gentle smile, she told her companions, “Skyla likely sent him to fetch a guest. I felt like taking a cab today, so I asked Kane not to pick me up.” Her companions showered her with compliments.

“Etta, you’re so fortunate. Skyla treats you as if you were her own daughter.”

“Yeah, I’m envious.

But it’s because you’re so outstanding that Skyla adores you.”

Etta refrained from further comment, quickly excused her followers, and retreated to a secluded spot to make a call to Liliana.

“I’m prepared on my side. When will you make your move?”

Brixton used the two hundred million Harlee provided to establish a shell company. With Rhys’ assistance, he initiated a commercial war against the Juarez family. On day one, Brixton met Harlee’s expectations.

As a result, he was no longer required to stay entangled with Liliana, and he happily broke up with her.

However, Liliana, accustomed to a lavish lifestyle, found this new reality difficult to accept. She couldn’t comprehend her sudden fall from grace.

Even those who had treated her with respect were now avoiding her. Without Brixton, Liliana was faced with returning to a normal life.

But after tasting luxury, how could she go back to the way things were before?

Motivated by practicality, she chose Gregory Stevenson, a local tyrant in his fifties from Baythorn. Within three days with Gregory, Liliana had already requested millions. She felt no real affection for him; her interest was solely in his wealth.

However, Gregory mistook this for true love and agreed to her requests.

One night, while Liliana lay on Gregory’s chest, her phone chimed with Etta’s call on the nightstand.
