Chapter 247:
Harlee ended the call.
As soon as she hung up, another call came in. It was Skyla.
âHarlee, youâve answered at last! I have been worried sick,â Skyla said with concern.
âKareem has told your dad and Brenton to stay calm and wait for your advice before they act. Theyâre considering hiring a PR firm to salvage some of your reputation before making a statement. What do you think?â
Harlee softened her voice.
âMom, donât worry. Tell my dad and my brothers to leave the online issues to me.â
âIâve got this.â
Skyla remained skeptical, well aware of the internetâs cruelty.
âBut your father and Brenton have more experience with these things. Let them help.â
âMom, I have a plan. Their involvement now could jeopardize exposing the mastermind all at once.â
Skyla sighed and said, âAlrightâ¦
But if you need us, donât hesitate to reach out, okay?â
âUnderstood.â
After reassuring her mother, Harlee hung up, only for Kareemâs call to come through next.
âIt seems you donât need my assistance,â Kareem said with a knowing tone.

Harlee responded casually, âYou always understand me the best.â
âIâll tell them to stop lining up to call you. Just make sure you reply to their messages when you get a chance.â
âWill do.â
Kareem preferred to keep conversations brief.
Confident that Harlee could handle the situation, he stepped back.
Harlee let out a sigh of relief. She was well aware of her familyâs tendencies.
Her parents and five brothers were likely queued up to call her next. She was curious how Kareem had managed to cut in line.
Harlee took a moment to collect herself before opening her WhatsApp. She began scrolling through the 99+ messages: texts from her dad, her mom, Tonya, Ritchie, members from the Shadow Moon Society, her five brothers, Willis, Callum, and so on.
Each of them had sent at least five messages.
Brentonâs message read, âHarlee, Iâve lined up some influencers and PR strategies. Tell me when to activate them.â
Fletcherâs text showed his concern.
âAre you going to let them bully you around? Want me to handle it?â
There was a message from her fourth elder brother, Clint Sanderson, whom she had yet to meet.
âJust returned from the mountains. Was ready to back you up, but Kareem said to wait for your go-ahead.â
