Chapter 196:

“He can use fishing to connect with people you’d least expect,” Fleming said with a slight smile.

“He’s our family’s secret weapon.”

Kareem chimed in, “He was sent to a military camp at a young age.

He’s practically a martial artist. You’d likely lose if you challenged him.”

Overhearing this, Tonya suddenly peeked out from behind the sofa.

“Really? Could he spar with me?”

Fleming was taken aback, but seeing Kareem remain calm, he raised an eyebrow.

“You knew she was here this whole time?”

Kareem simply nodded.

Fleming frowned.

“About Fletcher…”

Kareem interjected, “She’s one of us.”

Harlee’s eyes widened in shock, her heart swirling with waves of emotion she couldn’t quiet for a long time.

How did Kareem always seem to read her mind? He even knew Tonya! Upon realizing she was only surprised, not alarmed by Kareem’s perceptiveness, she wondered if she was beginning to see herself as a true member of the Sanderson family.

Tonya held her breath, her nails digging into her palms. She glanced at Harlee, who flashed her a calming smile, easing the intense look on her face. Tonya understood that Harlee had truly found where she belonged. That was indeed wonderful!

Disliking overly emotional displays, Harlee simply nodded at her elder brothers before leading Tonya back to the room.

Downstairs, the servants ushered two unexpected visitors into the garden: Adelina and Liam. Liam had heard that many celebrities would be attending the banquet, so he eagerly sought to win Emmitt’s favor for an invitation. Since Harlee’s departure, the Gill family had lost the backing of an internationally acclaimed fashion designer.

Combined with Liam’s poor business sense, the Gill Group was struggling. Without Harlee’s financial support, the Gill family was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.

Their visit today was an attempt to forge powerful connections.

Liam shed any pretense of superiority. Upon his arrival, he greeted the other executives with a wide, engaging smile, while Adelina sensitively assumed the role of an ornamental companion beside him.

“Mr. Gill?” Collin was surprised to find Liam at the Sanderson family’s banquet. Weren’t the Gills nearly bankrupt?

Adelina smiled charmingly, linking her arm with Collin’s.

“Collin, what a coincidence to see you here! Were you invited too? Oh, why didn’t you ask me to join you as your date?”

Collin’s face darkened.
