Chapter 181:

However, shortly after the announcement, Rhys, unaware that his fiancée was actually his crush, publicly rejected the engagement.

Addressing the reporters with an unyielding demeanor, he said, “I do not acknowledge this fiancée.”

Lonnie’s face darkened with rage as he watched Rhys’ statement on TV, his eyes bulging.

“Who does he think he is, acting all superior, daring to openly reject my daughter?” Across from him, Kareem looked even more menacing, like an enraged tiger.

Skyla’s expression was stern, too upset to even take calls from Rhys’ mother.

“What is the meaning of this from the Green family?” Brenton asked, his eyes cold and his voice tight with anger.

Apart from Harlee, Fletcher was the only one who was unfazed.

He chuckled casually, saying, “Clearly, Rhys looks down on Harlee. If I were Rhys, I wouldn’t accept her either.”

Lonnie delivered three sharp slaps to Fletcher, followed by Skyla hitting him out of anger.

“Fletcher, shut up!”

Brenton, frustrated, threw a bottle of cerebral tonic pills at Fletcher and said, “Take these with every meal. If they don’t help, nothing will…” He had paid dearly to obtain these pills from a rival.

Fletcher yelled in frustration, “I’ve been with you all my life!” Still, nobody paid him any attention.

At that moment, Harlee came down the stairs, drawing the attention of the four. She smiled softly and comforted them, saying, “I’m fine.

Actually, not marrying him is quite appealing.” She had anticipated Rhys would agree to their engagement, as she would have.

His outright refusal was unexpected.

But that was okay. She could appreciate some peace for a bit longer.

As for feelings of disappointment or sorrow? Other than concern for Skyla’s emotions, Harlee felt nothing else.

Getting engaged might hinder her aspirations.

“I agree. Since Harlee has only just rejoined our family, I’m not ready to see her married off so quickly,” a deep voice came from outside the door.

It belonged to Fleming Sanderson, the third son of the Sanderson family.

Skyla’s face softened.

“Fleming, you’re back!”

Fleming gave Harlee a once-over and flashed a slight smile.

“Just as I thought, my sister possesses an undeniable charm.” His laughter rang out, loud and proud.

“Fleming,” Harlee greeted him.

Fletcher seethed with anger.

He felt overshadowed by Harlee, especially since even Fleming, who usually adored him, failed to notice the slap marks on his face upon his return.
