Chapter 337:
However, now that the engagement had been broken off, she surely wouldnât dare to act so audaciously.
Adamson raised an eyebrow, and his lips curled into a knowing smirk. Sharing Collinâs mindset, he surmised that with Harleeâs engagement dissolved, no suitable suitor would be willing to marry her. Seizing this opportunity to marry Harlee would undoubtedly bring benefits to the George family, allowing them to enjoy the Sanderson familyâs wealth and resources.
âCollin, youâre quite the strategist!â Adamson exclaimed, his voice dripping with appreciation.
Barbara barely raised an eyebrow at the foolishness of Collin and Adamson, her nod barely perceptible, acknowledging their usual folly.
âTrust me.
Harlee wouldnât dare lay a hand on me this time!â Collin stated confidently, giving his chest a proud pat.
However, his assurance fell on indifferent ears. Nobody seemed to care whether he ended up getting his ass kicked again. The room buzzed with silent preoccupations.
Adamson was scheming, pondering how his sonâs marriage to the affluent Sanderson family might save his company, the George Group, from looming bankruptcy.
Barbara was plotting business moves, considering it the right moment to initiate talks with Harlee for a potential partnership. Meanwhile, Freyja was thrilled at the prospect of getting rid of Collin, deeming him nothing more than an incessant annoyance.

Since his proclamation of renewing his pursuit of Harlee, Collinâs actions had grown increasingly bold and impulsive.
Collin didnât just send her luxury roses every day.
He made it a point to show up constantly, even taking it upon himself to quash rumors swirling around her at Baythorn University. This proactive approach effectively thwarted Angelaâs attempts to tarnish Harleeâs reputation.
Whenever Collin found a spare moment, he loitered outside the Baythorn University auditorium, eagerly waiting for Harleeâs lectures to conclude.
He wasnât just generous with gestures.
He treated the three hundred students there to coffee and stationed two hefty boxes filled with coffee at the entrance, inviting any passerby to help themselves to as much as they wished.
Within just a couple of days, word had spread like wildfire across Baythorn University and the entire town that Collin was ardently pursuing Harlee. This chatter was everywhere, filling the corridors during class breaks and trailing along the pathways during casual campus strolls. It was particularly intense near the auditorium entrance, where students and faculty alike congregated, sharing their views on the unfolding drama.
The consensus on Collin was overwhelmingly positive.
Even his critics merely quipped about his extravagant generosity and the undue pressure it placed on the coffee shop staff.
However, the tone shifted drastically when the conversation turned to Harlee.
