Chapter 362:

Upstairs in the Sanderson residence, Harlee, having spent yet another sleepless night, was rubbing her tired neck as she made her way down the staircase.

As she overheard the servants’ conversation, she paused mid-step. Rhys? Her thoughts echoed with confusion.

“Mr. Green is here again?”

“I just caught a glimpse of him outside, leaning against his car.

He’s in that limited edition model of his, but honestly, he seems kind of downhearted, almost pitiful to watch.”

“First, he calls off the engagement, and now he’s back to propose? Does he view Miss Sanderson as some sort of possession, to be taken up and set aside at his convenience?”

A slight frown creased Harlee’s forehead. She was completely unaware of Rhys’ attempted proposal. She had spent the day at Sprague’s estate, and upon her return, neither Lonnie nor Skyla had breathed a word about it.

The servants, of course, would never dare gossip openly in her presence. With swift steps, Harlee descended the staircase. In the living room, Lonnie and Skyla were lounging with sulky expressions, but they both perked up, looking somewhat taken aback as they noticed Harlee.

Skyla rose, a worried smile playing on her lips.

“Harlee, dear, what are you doing up so early? Didn’t you mention you’d sleep in today?”

“It’s alright. I feel quite refreshed,” Harlee replied softly, her voice carrying a soothing tone.

Lonnie and Skyla shared a quick, uncertain glance, clearly hesitant to bring up the Green family matter. Sensing their unease, Harlee let out a light, airy laugh.

“Mom, Dad, you don’t have to walk on eggshells around me. The Greens calling off the engagement doesn’t bother me in the slightest.”

With that, Harlee turned her attention toward the door, her eyes thoughtful.

Harlee said earnestly, “The Green family has already endured significant financial losses and a ruined reputation. This punishment should be enough. The business ties between the Green and Sanderson families are deeply intertwined. If this deadlock persists, Brenton will only face more pressure.”

Lonnie’s gaze sharpened.

“Brenton is more than capable of handling the pressure. What’s the issue with Brenton facing more challenges?”

Aware of her family’s negative view of Rhys, Harlee took it upon herself to calm them. She realized that Lonnie still resented Rhys for ignoring the long-standing friendship between the Green and Sanderson families, especially by ending the engagement without considering the impact on the Sanderson family’s reputation.

She decided to try a different tactic instead.

Harlee smiled and said, “How can you release your frustration by keeping him out?”

Lonnie paused, suddenly understanding her point.

Excluding Rhys merely embarrassed him, but allowing him inside could provide an opportunity to mock him and truly vent their frustrations.
