Chapter 364:

“Oh, it hurts. Mr. Green, could you help me up? My leg feels numb.” She contorted her body suggestively, intentionally adjusting Kane’s jacket to show off her legs.

Rhys took another step back, deliberately avoiding looking at her.

His disinterest was evident. Kane, concerned that Etta might further embarrass herself, quickly rushed to help her up.

Etta initially wanted to decline but then reconsidered. She figured this was her first official encounter with Rhys, and it was understandable that he was reluctant to interact. She decided not to refuse Kane’s help, not wanting to come across as desperate.

Supported by Kane, Etta managed to appear delicate.

“Mr. Green, I was rushing back to my room and didn’t see the step. I accidentally tripped. I hope I didn’t startle you.” Her tone was sweet, with a hint of flirtation.

Rhys, already used to such antics, gave Kane a brief glance.

“I know my way around the Sanderson residence. I’ll find my way in.”

With that, Rhys disregarded any further attempts by Etta to engage him and walked toward the living room.

Etta seethed with anger. She shrugged off Kane’s help and limped back to her room. She inwardly snapped, “I’m wasting my efforts on someone who doesn’t appreciate them! Even when someone as beautiful as me throws myself at him, he doesn’t even look my way. No wonder he’s a fool, crawling back to propose! But it doesn’t matter.”

“I have a talent for handling men. Once he falls for me, he won’t be able to ignore me any longer!” Etta was confident that the thrill of the chase was half the fun. With just a bit more persistence, Rhys would surely surrender to her charm.

In the Sanderson family living room, Rhys had barely entered and hadn’t even reached the sofa when Lonnie was already glaring at him.

His look was fierce and intimidating, as if he were ready to devour him.

“Ah, Mr. Rhys Green graces us with his presence! Our humble home is truly honored!” Lonnie’s voice was filled with sarcasm.

Rhys scanned the five men seated across from him, his eyes briefly flickering.

All the Sanderson men were there except for the fourth son, Clint.

He caught the sharp look in Kareem’s eyes and sensed that this evening’s gathering might have been arranged just for him.

Maintaining his humility and politeness, Rhys greeted everyone first, then addressed Lonnie.

“Lonnie, I appreciate your hospitality. It’s an honor for me to visit you.”

Rhys placed the gifts on the table.

“I’ve come to apologize for my rash decisions in the past.”

With the Sanderson family remaining silent, Rhys bowed his head lower.

“In addition to my apologies, I’m here to propose. I hope we can overlook the previous cancellation of the engagement, and Harlee and I…”
