Chapter 321:

Feigning confusion, Lillie responded, “Skyla, I’m not sure what you mean.”

Harlee’s eyes flashed with fleeting sharpness as she saw through Lillie’s and Angela’s act. To outsiders, this might appear to be just another rich family quarrel, but Harlee was well aware that they were plotting against her. The exact motive was still unclear.

Harlee’s expression hardened with impatience as she locked eyes with Angela.

“Drop the act. It looks like the sales assistant is your only audience here.”

Seizing the moment, Angela dramatically collapsed to the floor, tears streaming down her face.

“Miss Sanderson, although my siblings stirred up trouble at your family banquet, surely I don’t deserve to be treated this way?”

As Harlee turned toward the store’s entrance, she saw several other women enter. Is this what Angela was aiming for? Didn’t Angela know how I respond to being falsely accused?

Harlee leaned in slightly, her hand lifting in a slow and deliberate arc.

Angela, misreading Harlee’s gesture, hastily exclaimed in a deliberately alarmed tone, “Ah… Miss Sanderson, what are you doing? You’re hurting my hand!”

Harlee and Angela were in a secluded corner, their confrontation hidden from view. Only their facing profiles were visible to onlookers.

Angela had cleverly chosen this spot, so even the sales assistant standing not far away assumed Harlee was harming Angela.

“What am I doing?” Harlee retorted sharply, her features twisting into a scowl.

“I’m taking the wrong accusation hurled my way, can’t you tell?”

With a swift motion, Harlee struck Angela across the face. The slap echoed sharply through the air. Instantly, Angela’s face was marked by the stark imprint of five fingers. She rose swiftly to her feet, her breaths coming in sharp gasps, and fixed Harlee with a glare that dripped venom.

Harlee didn’t hesitate, striking Angela once more. The second slap hit the same cheek with a stinging precision.

Angela’s right cheek flared with pain so intense that she recoiled even from nursing her swollen cheek.

Lillie finally reacted, placing herself protectively in front of Angela and confronting Harlee.

“What is the meaning of this? How could you strike my daughter in public? Do you really believe the Hiltons will just stand by and watch?”

When Lillie locked eyes with Harlee’s icy stare, a shiver raced through her, and her eyes briefly widened in shock.

Harlee’s presence was overwhelmingly intense!

A faint smirk tugged at Harlee’s lips as she spoke.

“Didn’t she claim I shoved her down? I just figured I should make it count.” With a swift motion, Harlee raised her hands and shoved Angela forcefully.

The impact sent Angela reeling back several steps, clutching at Lillie until she crashed into a clothing rack.

Clothes tumbled in a cascade, draping over her body like a tangled mess.
