Chapter 335:

Different versions of the story surfaced, all crafted to smear Harlee’s reputation, as if Rhys was entirely justified in breaking off the engagement.

Lonnie occupied the principal seat in the study, opening his eyes slowly, his gaze colder than the harshest winter.

Brenton, Fleming, and Fletcher stood aligned, their expressions just as icy, clearly aware of the rumors maligning Harlee.

Brenton was the first to speak.

“Dad, I’ll handle these rumors immediately. We won’t let Harlee face this alone.”

Lonnie looked at him but remained silent.

After a pause, Fletcher said, “Dad, we must protect Harlee from further bullying. Please let us confront the Green family.”

Lonnie had summoned them precisely for this discussion.

His gaze settled on his three sons as he spoke in a low voice.

“Do any of you know why I called you up here?”

Brenton was the only one to grasp the deeper implication. It dawned on him that their father was scolding them for resorting to underhanded tactics rather than confronting the Green family openly.

Brenton lowered his head slightly, speaking with remorse.

“I was at fault. I acted without careful thought, letting my anger get the better of me. Since the Green family wronged us first, no matter how we respond, no one can fault us.

But if we strike from the shadows, people will criticize the Sanderson family, even if we are justified.”

Upon hearing this, Lonnie’s expression softened somewhat.

He tapped his fingers on the desk and asked, his tone cold, “Do you understand what needs to be done now?”

Brenton nodded.

He explained his plan, “Starting tomorrow, the Sanderson family will openly confront the Green family on all fronts until they come forward to apologize.”

Silence fell for a few moments. Lonnie then shifted his gaze to Fleming, who spoke up calmly.

“I’ll release a statement, cutting off any collaboration with Green Pharmaceuticals for my research.”

Lonnie nodded with approval.

Fletcher started to open his mouth, ready to reveal his own strategy, but Lonnie raised a hand, signaling that it wasn’t necessary.

“You can hold off on your plans for now. Our open opposition will be enough to deliver significant losses to the Green family.”

Fletcher had the power to build alliances, but the Sanderson family was strong enough not to rely on outside help for this.

Though a bit puzzled, Fletcher respected Lonnie’s decision and simply nodded, deciding to discuss it with Brenton afterward.
