Chapter 201:

From within the crowd, Collin whispered, “Harlee, you will eventually be mine!”

Collin blended seamlessly into the crowd, watching Adelina unravel, careful not to let the Sanderson family think he was associated with her.

Liam gazed at Harlee with sorrow in his eyes and said, “Harlee, I’m your father.

Are you not going to acknowledge me?”

Harlee watched Liam and Adelina icily, a flicker of anger in her eyes.

Her gaze was stern, her lips twisted in a hint of mockery.

“Pretending to have forgotten what you did in the past? Holding on to connections? You’re absolutely shameless!”

Not giving Adelina a chance to continue her slander, Harlee sharply detailed her own experiences with the Gill family, her voice cold and firm, almost as if the person who had been despised and ousted wasn’t her.

Every word Harlee spoke felt like a dagger to the hearts of the Sanderson family.

For so long, she had kept her complaints to herself, always brushing off questions about her past with a simple “It was okay.” But now, as she revealed the truth—the times Averie had left her outside all night for being just a minute late, or when the family had thrown her out after discovering she wasn’t their biological child—the Sanderson family was stunned.

They couldn’t believe the cherished daughter they had just reclaimed had endured such mistreatment.

Adelina turned pale, exclaiming, “This is absurd! If your claims are true, how have you remained unscathed all this time?”

Seeing Harlee air these grievances publicly, Liam’s face flushed with anger.

“Harlee, you choose now to speak ill of the Gill family, just because you think you have the Sanderson family’s backing?”

Lonnie’s expression turned cold as he replied, “Speak ill? Are you implying my daughter is lying? Do you think she would stoop so low just to insult you, or is it that you simply have no respect for the Sanderson family?”

Caught off guard, Liam stammered, “That’s not what I meant. I only meant that her statements might not be entirely accurate.”

Unaccustomed to such confrontations at social events, Liam struggled to find the right words. Next to him, Adelina began to tremble, tears welling up in her eyes.

Skyla let out a sharp laugh.

“You had plenty to say just a moment ago. What happened? Now all you can do is cry?”

Brenton chuckled, his voice laced with disdain.

“I’ve never seen such shamelessness.

Do you really think your tears will convince everyone here that the Sanderson family is oppressing you?”

Tonya snorted, adding, “Some people never learn.

Do you truly believe no one knows how your Gill family treated Harlee? Perhaps it’s time I lay out the proof for everyone to see!”
