Chapter 267:
âAdamson, after all these years, weâve finally found Adelina again. Isnât there some way you can help her out of the police station? Sheâs set to marry into your family. Please help her this time.â
Liam chimed in urgently, âYes.
Adelina is meant to be your future daughter-in-law. You must find a way to free her.â
Barbara offered Liam and Averie a sympathetic look, though internally she felt only disgust, considering them fools. They should have sought Harleeâs forgiveness instead of begging for help here.
After all, Adelina had messed with Harlee, the daughter they had raised for over a decade.
Adamson, not the sharpest, foolishly contacted the authorities about this case, despite it attracting the attention of higher-ups.
Barbara inwardly marveled at how idiotic these three could be.
After a while, Adamson returned to the living room, looking visibly upset. It was clear he had been snapped at.
Liam asked anxiously, âHow did it go? Will they let Adelina go?â
Adamson shook his head, explaining that nothing would change unless Harlee dropped the issue.
He mentioned that Harlee was the head of Janessa Studio.
âWhat?â Liam was shocked. Not even in his wildest dreams would he have imagined the famous designer who had once inspired the Gill Group was actually Harlee.

âI get it now. I always found it odd why that designer abruptly stopped working with us. If only we hadnât pushed Harlee away. If onlyâ¦â Regret overwhelmed Liam.
Averie was confused until she realized that the Gill Group had thrived with Harleeâs presence and struggled after she left the Gill family.
Her expression shifted immediately.
âOh, my Harlee! Why didnât she tell us any of this? I assumed she didnât care about the Gill family at all!â Her face lit up with a smile, as if Harlee, with all her remarkable accomplishments, were her own daughter.
Averieâs words sparked an idea in Liamâs mind.
He exchanged a knowing look with Averie.
Exhausted by Liam and Averieâs pleas, Adamson signaled Barbara to escort them out.
But before Barbara could intervene, Liam shifted his approach.
âAdamson, Adelinaâs reputation is ruined, and she is certainly no longer fit to marry into your family, butâ¦â
Averie quickly added, âBefore Adelinaâs return, we raised Harlee for years.
Harlee was originally engaged to Collin. So, hereâs our plan. We need your help reaching out to the Sanderson family to fix our relationship with Harlee. The engagement between the Gill family and the George family stays the same, and Harlee will still be Collinâs future wife.â
Collinâs face lit up immediately.
