Chapter 185:
âYoung, is she?â Harlee reacted as if sheâd heard the most absurd joke. She slowly lifted the vase.
Seeing this, Etta believed another strike was coming and panicked, screaming, âHarlee⦠Youâre mad! Youâre insane! Youâre actually going to hit me again?â
Mr. Sanderson, Mrs. Sanderson, you see this, right? This is how Harlee treats me when youâre away.â Etta turned to her family.
Lonnie said, âShe deserves it.
Harlee, handle her punishment however you see fit.â
Skyla interjected, âHarlee, please know, Iâm absolutely with you.â
Brenton said, âThe attention seeker really knows how to put on a scream.â
Kareem laughed.
âNicely handled, but you should have hit her directly.â
Fleming comforted her, saying, âGo on, Harlee. Show your strength. My medical skills are ready if needed.â
Fletcherâs reaction was overlooked by everyone.
Harlee licked her lips. It had been some time since sheâd seen blood, but this vase looked far too valuable, and Etta wasnât worth wasting something so high-end.
The next instant, Harlee stood up abruptly, seized Etta by the head, and slammed it against the floor.
Your next journey starts at gⱯlnÏνð®âsâ¤ð¸oðº
With a thud, blood appeared on Ettaâs forehead.
Etta screamed in terror, âAh!â
The sound had barely left Ettaâs lips when her collar was seized once more.
âIf I hear another sound from you, I wonât hesitate to use more force.â
Etta suppressed her scream.
âDevil! Harlee was a devil!â
Overwhelmed by the shock, Etta fainted right then and there.
Harlee casually let her hair down, glancing at Callie, who still knelt.
âThis time, Iâll overlook it for the many years of service youâve provided to the Sanderson family.
But be warned⦠Next time, she wonât be so fortunate.â
Harlee was never known for her gentleness. If not for Lonnieâs and Skylaâs presence, Etta might have been severely injured today.
Harlee turned to look back at her family, expecting shock or dismay on their faces, but instead, she saw only concern.
Lonnie approached and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, his eyes brimming with tears. The silent expression of his fatherly love was deeply felt.
Kareem threw her a handkerchief and said flatly, âClean your hands. You got your hands dirty from handling someone as disgusting as her.â
Harlee accepted the handkerchief, wiped her hands, and then took a deep breath before saying, âMom, dad, Brenton, Kareem, Fleming, would you like to come upstairs and try on the outfits?â She was still adjusting to this display of parental affection.
