Chapter 322:
Angela had never felt anything like this before. Overwhelmed by the excruciating pain, she fainted, her body crumpling lifelessly to the floor.
Simultaneously, Lillie was dragged down by Angela, landing awkwardly onto a sofa bench with a thud. The force was enough to make her hear a sickening crack, and a surge of pain flooded her body. She couldnât even manage a cry. The agony left her breathless, pinned to the floor.
Without a flicker of hesitation, Harlee pulled a sleek black card from her pocket and handed it to the sales assistant, her voice calm and commanding.
âIâll take full responsibility for the damages.
As for the clothes now layering on Angelaâs body, give them away to anyone passing by outside the mall. Rest assured, Iâll make sure each of you gets an extra ten thousand for your trouble.â
The assistant beamed, clearly delighted as she took the card and rushed to process it.
âThank you, Miss Sanderson.â
Harlee turned her attention to Skyla with a casual question.
âMom, do you have any cash on you?â
Skyla didnât need to be asked twice. She reached into her bag, pulling out two thick stacks of bills. She always appreciated the solid weight of her purse, habitually carrying several thousand dollars whenever she ventured outside.
Harlee took the cash and threw it onto Angela.

âThis should cover the medical bills. If it falls short, feel free to come looking for me at the Sanderson estate.â
With a swift gesture, Harlee retrieved her card from the sales assistant and strode out with Skyla, paying no heed to the whispering crowd.
Harlee had long grown indifferent to public scrutiny, evident in her composed demeanor in facing the recent online condemnation orchestrated by Adelina.
Skyla watched her daughter with eyes full of wonder and respect.
âHarlee, you truly are something else! Iâd be over the moon if I possessed even half your toughness when dealing with jerks like these two!â
A playful smile danced on Harleeâs lips.
âDo you think I went overboard?â
âNot in the slightest!â Skyla exclaimed, her voice thick with appreciation.
âIn situations like these, sticking to politeness is futile. Itâs all about bold, decisive actions. If I handled things your way, Iâd be unstoppable.â
Harlee was entertained by Skylaâs theatrical jabs, her laughter echoing softly. She cherished these moments with Skyla, secure in the knowledge that Skylaâs affection was unwavering, no matter what she did.
Meanwhile, in the grand living room of the Sanderson estate, Belinda and Jose shifted uncomfortably in their seats. The topic of calling off Harleeâs engagement with Rhys loomed large, with neither wanting to be the first to mention it.
However, a recent video from a friend had emboldened them significantly.
With renewed confidence, Belindaâs smile turned graceful and poised, while Joseâs tension visibly eased.
