Chapter 326:

“Brenton?” she asked, her voice tinged with surprise.

“What brings you back at this hour? Weren’t you supposed to be at a major international meeting today?”

Brenton, slightly reproachful, said, “Why didn’t you tell me you were being bullied?”

Harlee, taken aback, replied, “Bullied? Me?” She was puzzled. Was she bullied somehow?

At that moment, as Kane casually passed by, enlightenment dawned on Harlee, and a rush of warmth enveloped her heart. The embrace of family felt deeply comforting.

Beaming, she said, “I’m more than okay with breaking off the engagement with the Green family. No worries.”

Just as Harlee’s words faded, Fletcher stepped through the door. Shuffling his feet, he mumbled, “Rhys is such a jerk.” His gaze dropped as guilt flickered briefly in his eyes.

Back when Rhys had brazenly scorned their engagement in front of eager reporters, the Sanderson family had nearly severed ties then and there.

Fletcher had boldly stepped in, manipulating Coulson to tighten the screws on the Green family.

He emphasized the critical nature of their partnership and even demanded an in-person apology, which effectively convinced Lonnie and Skyla to preserve the agreement.

Now, the Green family’s visit to call off the engagement didn’t sit right with him.

A shard of ice seemed to glint in Fletcher’s eyes. Rhys had the nerve to treat his sister that way! His jaw tightened, and his eyes darkened with resolve.

Rhys wouldn’t get away unscathed.

Harlee, sensing the escalating tension, let out a sigh. With a wave of her hand, she declared, “Brenton, Fletcher, I’m honestly unbothered by the cancellation of this engagement. It doesn’t faze me, not in the slightest. You both needn’t be so heated.” She had just managed to calm her parents, and now these two brothers were starting. If she soothed them, the rest of her brothers might show up next, and she’d be completely overwhelmed.

Brenton caught the glimmer of frustration dancing in her eyes.

His grin halted, turning wistful as he affectionately tousled her hair.

“Okay, if you’re feeling fine, then my worries are gone.”

“Unbelievable! After the way the Green family treated Harlee? I won’t let it slide…” Fletcher’s eyes turned stormy, but before he could finish his vow, Brenton playfully thumped him on the head, stopping him mid-sentence.

Brenton shot Fletcher a warning glance.

Fletcher, though subdued, still held a flicker of rebellion in his gaze.

Harlee’s smile gently unfolded, her lips curling subtly.

“Brenton, Fletcher, I need to head over to Baythorn University for my lecture.”

“Sure, good luck.”

Having eased their concerns, Harlee briskly waved them off and dashed to her car. She hadn’t yet grown accustomed to the enveloping warmth of family. The intimate bond with her brothers left her navigating unfamiliar emotions.
