Chapter 363:
Just then, Kane rushed in, carrying two large bags filled with gift boxes.
âMr. Green mentioned thereâs an urgent situation at the company demanding his presence, so heâll visit again tonight. These gifts he left at the doorstep were selected based on your preferences.
He mentioned that if theyâre not to your liking, he will take them back when he visits tonight.â
Lonnieâs anger flared up immediately.
Harlee quickly comforted him with a gentle pat and reiterated the idea of using the situation to vent. Prompted by this, Lonnie instructed Kane to allow Rhys inside when he returned later that night.
Harlee sighed internally in relief. If they could talk directly, she was confident that Rhys could manage the ties between the two families effectively.
As for the proposal of the engagement, she had no interest. It was better to part on good terms.
Meanwhile, Etta stood in a corner, observing the family scene with envy.
Her face contorted with resentment. The sound of their laughter felt like a knife stabbing repeatedly at her heart. They seemed to forget that before Harleeâs return, she was the one who had eagerly sought their favor, filling the void left by their missing daughter. She had contributed a lot to this family!
Ettaâs intense gaze lingered on Harlee, her eyes growing dark and terrifying. When Etta heard that Rhys was coming to propose again, she quickly put on her most innocent act, choosing a pure white nightgown.

However, as soon as she came downstairs, Kane told her that Rhys had already left.
Ettaâs anger flared up in an instant.
However, Rhys was scheduled to return in the evening.
A smug smile crossed her face. The evening would suit her plans perfectly. She was determined to marry into the Green family.
As evening settled, the moon rose high, barely noticeable against the glow of the city lights.
At 8:30 p.m., after wrapping up his work, Rhys approached the Sanderson familyâs door, half-expecting to be dismissed as he had been before. To his surprise, Kane personally emerged to welcome him. Rhys nodded in acknowledgment.
Suddenly, a woman in a revealing short skirt appeared, stumbling and aiming for Rhysâ arms. Rhys reacted quickly, stepping aside just in time to avoid her falling into him.
Etta was caught off guard and fell to the ground, her chin hitting the floor with a sharp impact, while her skirt flipped up, exposing her seductive underwear.
Kane, caught by surprise, shifted his gaze from Rhys to Etta. Seeing her in such a state, Kaneâs face turned red, and he quickly draped his jacket over her.
He offered Rhys an apologetic look, at a loss for words.
Etta flinched in pain, her lip caught between her teeth as she absorbed the discomfort in her chin, knees, and chest, letting out a flirtatious groan.
