Chapter 248:
Lonnieâs anxiety was evident in his message.
âHoney, are you sure you donât want my help? I can handle this public mess for you.â
Willis was quite furious about the situation.
âIâm so angry! Someoneâs sabotaging the whole knowledge-sharing session after I finally persuaded you to give a lecture.
Could it be that guy from East Shores University? I knew it! Heâs always been jealous of the fact that I have you on my side.
Harlee, Iâm about to lose it. Why are you still keeping quiet? Let me make an official statement for you!â
Feeling warmth from her friendsâ and familyâs support and concern, Harlee first responded to her familyâs texts and then persuaded Willis to hold off on using his official channels.
Overwhelmed by the deluge of messages, she eventually posted on her social media, saying, âThank you all for your concern, but letâs watch the scenes made by troublemakers a bit longer. Letâs sit back and enjoy the show.â
Rhys, having been browsing Harleeâs profile for any updates in the hope of knowing her activities, was stunned by her post.
âTroublemakers? The show? Who dared to mess with her?â
Rhys immediately sent Harlee a message, saying, âWhatâs happening? Do you need my assistance?â
But after almost an hour, Rhys still hadnât received a reply.

His comment on her post also went unnoticed.
Hamilton had just finished dealing with Aaronâs situation when he walked in. Seeing Rhysâ complex expression, he instinctively checked if he had done anything wrong.
Confident he was not at fault, he approached cautiously.
âMr. Green?â Hamilton asked.
âWhat does it mean when a woman doesnât respond to your messages?â Rhys asked suddenly.
Hamilton was taken aback and blurted out, âSheâs not interested?â Rhysâs expression grew even darker. Realizing his blunder, Hamilton paled.
He wished he could vanish.
It was clear Rhys was talking about Harlee, yet he had the nerve to imply she was not interested.
He thought it was the end for him.
He might as well accept his fate right then and there.
Silence hung heavily in the room before Rhys finally deactivated his phone and raised his eyes, his expression clouding over with concern.
âDetermine what sort of trouble sheâs caught up in. Spare no effort or resource in our endeavor to help her,â he commanded gravely.
