Chapter 253:
Suddenly, her phone vibrated in her pocket. Recognizing the caller, she quickly ascended the stairs and shut the door behind her.
A calm voice spoke from the other end.
âHarlee, those fools made a move again, this time targeting the Sanderson family.â
Harlee responded with a slight smile, âIf theyâre so eager to meet their end, we might as well let them.â Such fools!
Meanwhile, Collin reclined on the sofa, his expression troubled.
Adamson took a sip of his coffee and said, âCollin, stop thinking about your previous engagement with Harlee. She isnât right for you and could bring down the Sanderson family.â
Barbara, hearing this, gave a slight look of disdain but still agreed.
âYour father is right. The pressure online is overwhelming. The Sanderson family may struggle to handle this. Our George family should stay out of it.â
Freyja interjected, âThe whole internet seems against Harlee. Moreover, the Sanderson familyâs stock has dropped a point today.â
Collin nodded and said, âIâve always sensed Harlee was trouble, and I was correct.
Even one of the most influential families is vulnerable because of her! Iâve always preferred Adelina.â

âSheâs compliant and caring. Plus, sheâs just been invited to be a judge at the School of Art at Baythorn University, an honor many desire! She could even design for our George Group, which would boost our business.â
Adamson replied enthusiastically, âReally? Thatâs wonderful! Itâs definitely worth marrying her.
Even though Harlee runs Janessa Studio, her tarnished reputation will deter anyone from buying her designs.
Collin, make sure to treat Adelina well these days.
Hide your true intentions, got it?â
Collin smiled confidently.
âDonât worry.
Adelina is utterly loyal to me.â
Both men nodded, pleased, while Barbara and Freyja shared hateful grins.
Such short-sighted fools! The Sanderson family, being highly influential, would not be brought down by a simple scandal.
Furthermore, the situation would not have worsened if the Sanderson Group hadnât allowed it. With their influence, they could effortlessly remove any unfavorable trending topics and employ online influencers to sway public opinion.
However, Barbara and Freyja chose not to mention these truths.
Barbara sipped her wine, her smile loaded with meaning.
The following day, Harlee went to Baythorn University as planned to give her lecture. Since Harlee was about to join the military, Willis had adjusted the Aerospace Mechanical Engineering Departmentâs schedule accordingly.
