Chapter 340:

Barbara, on the other hand, remained still, her emotions hidden beneath her composed and dignified appearance. Only Barbara knew that, for the first time in years, she had felt intimidated by someone younger, almost losing her cool. She knew deciding to collaborate with Harlee was the smartest decision she had made.

Barbara’s lips curled into a subtle smile.

“It’s our honor to work with you, Miss Sanderson.”

Hearing her mother’s words, Freyja’s sense of reason returned, and she adjusted her demeanor. She looked at Harlee and said, “Of course, if you want the entire George family fortune, we have no objections. We just ask that you leave enough for my mom, my sister, and me to live comfortably for the rest of our lives.”

Harlee sat opposite them, her legs crossed casually, her eyes sparkling as she put down her utensils. She leaned back, her hand casually resting on the table, her expression relaxed and unhurried.

“Sure, I have just one condition. I want to remain behind the scenes when handling the George family’s matters.”

Lately, Harlee had made far too many enemies, and she didn’t want to bring any trouble to the Sanderson family.

Barbara’s brow furrowed. Just this simple condition? Their demand had been the entire George family fortune, followed by a billion in funds. Nevertheless, she quickly composed herself. She didn’t know Harlee well enough, and revealing her intentions too soon could jeopardize her plans.

Freyja, on the other hand, was more direct. She asked pointedly, “Is that truly your only condition, Miss Sanderson? What if we ask you to assist us in acquiring the George family fortune?”

“Yes,” Harlee responded softly.

“I was initially planning to drive the George family into bankruptcy, but since you’re interested, let’s shift to helping you claim the fortune.”

Perhaps realizing her bluntness had startled the two women sitting across from her, Harlee added, “Let’s include another condition: Ensure Collin is no longer an issue. I don’t want to see him from this day forward.”

After Harlee spoke, a silence followed before Barbara turned to her, her expression impossible to describe.

Barbara had no doubt about Harlee’s words.

From her last meeting with Ritchie, Barbara understood that Harlee and Ritchie were not as simple as they appeared. Now, it seemed Harlee was even more formidable than she had imagined.

“Miss Sanderson, may I ask why you agreed to collaborate with us?” Barbara inquired.

Harlee paused her action of picking up food, looked up, and answered in a calm, delicate voice, “Do you want the honest truth?”

Barbara and Freyja nodded.

“My identity as the daughter of the Sanderson family comes with many complications. Using your name could simplify things.” Harlee’s tone was flat, yet it carried an undeniable atmosphere of arrogance and authenticity.

Barbara and Freyja’s faces registered a mix of emotions. So Harlee never planned to use the Sanderson family’s influence against the George family? She was truly something!
