Chapter 180:
Give her ample time.â
âWellâ¦â Kane hesitated.
Harlee shared her strategy thoughtfully.
âWe should tackle problems from their roots, donât you agree, Kane?â
Kane shuddered and nodded vigorously. If Etta was indeed plotting something with the dresses, as Harlee suspected, she should face the consequences.
After all, Lonnie and Skyla had been eagerly anticipating this gift.
âIâll follow your directions,â Kane said.
âBy the way, make sure you call Fletcher back ahead of time.
He needs to see things for himself to really get it.â
Years of training allowed Kane to keep his expression steady, but internally, he agreed that Harleeâs point was spot on.
If it werenât for Fletcher being born at home, anyone would suspect he had been switched at the hospital. What other reason could there be for the first four sons to be so exceptional, while Fletcher remained so foolishly naive, easily manipulated by Etta without even realizing it?
Kane caught Harleeâs look and responded with the proper respect.
âAbsolutely. Iâll ensure Mr. Fletcher Sanderson is there when needed.â
Harlee nodded, pleased.

âThank you, Kane.â She gestured with a wave of her hand, indicating for him to leave.
Soon after, there was another knock on the study door. Kareem had returned.
A smile formed on Harleeâs lips.
âKareem, Iâve won our bet.â
Kareemâs smile was subtle yet striking.
âWell done. Once the family reunion banquet concludes, Iâll take you back to the military.â
With Kareemâs endorsement, Harlee relaxed.
âThank you.â Kareem laughed softly and tapped her forehead lightly.
âI noticed Kane seemed hurried earlier. Is that little head of yours planning something big again?â
âIf someoneâs stirring up trouble, itâs only right I answer back,â Harleeâs words came out coldly, forced through gritted teeth.
âEtta?â Kareem made a quick guess.
Harlee reclined, twirling a pen with a casual air, and whispered, âItâs a secret.â
âFine, Iâll just wait and watch the unfolding drama.â
On the eve of the recognition banquet, the Sanderson family announced that the event would formally introduce their only daughter and reveal her engagement to the heir of the Green family.
