Chapter 192:
Harlee was fierce! Yet, after a brief moment, they all averted their gazes.
Given Lindaâs prominent standing in the industry, they refrained from watching her in such a degrading position.
Linda was paralyzed, her gaze falling on the makeup tools scattered across the floor, questioning whether Harlee expected her to pick them all up in this way.
But why should she?
For a few seconds, Linda stared blankly before finally reacting.
âMiss Sanderson, are you aware of what youâre doing? Release me now while I can still remain calm, or elseâ¦â
âOr else what?â Harlee leaned down, her face void of emotion, and withdrew a bottle of foundation laced with a harmful agent from her side pocket. She discarded it onto the floor as if it were trash.
âRuin my face with your products?â Harleeâs eyes were filled with disdain.
Lindaâs eyes widened, her face contorting. She blurted out, âHow did you find out?â She immediately clamped her mouth shut, trying to hide her mistake.
Harlee waved the foundation bottle in her hand, her eyes slightly narrowing. Linda shakily rose to her feet.
âWhere did this foundation come from? Are you trying to frame me by claiming a bottle of toxic foundation you got from elsewhere as one of those I intended to use on you?â
âI never said anything off with this foundation,â Harlee responded coolly.

âYouâ¦â Lindaâs face flushed with anger. Seizing a moment when Harlee appeared distracted, Linda snatched the bottle of foundation and dashed into the bathroom to dispose of it.
Unbeknownst to her, Harlee had never intended to use that bottle for anything.
Harlee simply found amusement in Lindaâs panicked expressions, deliberately playing this little game with her.
An hour earlier, before the team of makeup artists had arrived, Tonya had sent Harlee a photograph. In the image, Tonyaâs appearance was altered to seem quite plain, and behind her was a crowd, led by none other than Linda, the makeup artist present today for the Sanderson family.
Tonya then messaged Harlee, saying, âHarlee, I slipped in to offer my congratulations on your reunion with your family.
Guess what? I caught a moron for you. See the woman in that lousy outfit, named Linda? The foundation in her side pocket is laced with a poisonous substance, and she plans to use it on your face when itâs time for your makeup later. Oh Harlee, it seems you attract enemies wherever you appear. It must be due to your enviable beauty. No worries! Iâll spice things up for you to enjoy some fun! Just wait.â
Harlee arched an eyebrow and then narrowed her eyes, her look turning shrewd. She was certainly prepared to exploit this unexpected âgift.â
Harlee timed the makeup artistsâ entry precisely, rising at the exact moment to ensure everything unfolded as she had orchestrated, including preventing the makeup artists from going upstairs.
What she hadnât anticipated was Etta pulling off a performance yet again.
