Chapter 190:

At that moment, Etta, who had been hiding in the corner, emerged.

“Linda, you’re here! Quick, come do my makeup. It’s been ages since you last did.”

Then, Etta put on a look as though she had just noticed Harlee.

“Oh? Harlee, you’re here too? I didn’t notice you just now.”

Harlee didn’t bother to spare Etta a glance, her slender hand lightly patting Kane’s shoulder.

“I’ll head upstairs first.

Call me when you’re ready.” She completely ignored Etta.

Etta’s face contorted with burning rage, her cheeks flushing with fury at Harlee’s dismissal. Yet, she restrained her anger.

Her eyes narrowed as she watched Harlee ascend the stairs.

Etta inwardly consoled herself, thinking that Harlee couldn’t maintain her arrogant demeanor once the surprise she had in store for her was revealed.

Harlee paid Etta no mind, but halfway up the stairs, she paused and said to Kane, her words infuriating Etta, “By the way, Kane, I’m not fond of sharing a makeup artist.

Find out whether she prefers to serve as the Sanderson family daughter’s makeup artist or Etta’s.”

Kane, always composed, struggled to stifle a chuckle.

Harlee was indeed smart, using the term “the Sanderson family’s daughter” pointedly.

It was a sharp dig at Etta’s insecurities.

As an observer, Kane knew well what troubled Etta.

Being mocked for not being “the Sanderson family’s daughter” was more wounding than a physical blow.

As expected, Etta boiled with rage, yet no one paid her heed.

Harlee continued toward her room, while Kane directed the makeup artist to a vacant room. Quickly, Kane arranged a comfortable space for the makeup and instructed the makeup artist to wait there, while he escorted another team of artists to Etta’s room.

The Sanderson family employed several exclusive makeup artists. The one assigned to Harlee was Linda Hobbes, a top makeup artist in Baythorn. She was sought after by high-ranking officials and nobility for home sessions.

Snobbish, Linda often treated her clients differently based on their social standing.

Having received five million from Etta, Linda was set on making things difficult for Harlee, the “Sanderson family’s daughter.” Linda had always looked down on Harlee, considering her a country bumpkin.

Harlee’s insistence on having her makeup done downstairs only worsened Linda’s view of her.

But observing Kane’s respectful demeanor toward Harlee made Linda question the rumors. Was Harlee truly out of favor? If Harlee was out of favor, why did Kane treat her with such respect? Was it merely his professional manners?
