Chapter 371:
She understood her son.
He wouldnât propose to someone unless he was genuinely in love. The last time Rhys ended an engagement, Belinda had laid down conditions. If Harlee wanted to be part of the Green family, sheâd have to pass Belindaâs tests first.
Belinda was eager to see how Harlee would cope.
Meanwhile, at the George family residence, Adamson slammed his hand on the table, his veins prominent and his expression dark.
Collin stood by, silent and cautious.
In contrast, Barbara and Freyja calmly sipped their coffee, their faces serene and composed, as if no matter the chaos unfolding, they wouldnât show any sign of concern.
After all, they had carefully orchestrated this situation with Ritchieâs help, intending for the George family to end up in this state. Naturally, they wanted to sit back and watch it all unfold.
However, whenever Adamson looked at Barbara and Freyja, they would still put on an act of exhaustion, pretending they had been working tirelessly to maintain the George Group during this time.
Two weeks ago, with Ritchieâs help, Barbara had successfully taken control of the George family, driving Adamson and Collin out of Baythorn. Unexpectedly, Adamson had returned, looking more vibrant than ever.
Barbara was puzzled by his resurgence and reluctantly surrendered the company, maintaining her previous demeanor as if nothing had changed.
Fortunately, Barbara had been cautious, not completely severing ties with Adamson and Collin when she ousted them, even framing it as being for their benefit. This allowed Adamson to remain unsuspecting of Barbara and Freyjaâs involvement.

Despite having external support, Adamson never imagined that the downfall of the George Group was masterminded by his own wife and daughter, especially with the involvement of Harlee, someone he had previously underestimated.
Eventually, Adamson broke the silence, his voice heavy with fury.
âWhat exactly happened?â He fixed a severe gaze on Collin, his voice thick with anger.
âTell me, whom have you angered?â
Adamsonâs return had been made possible by a longstanding friend of his father.
However, his father had cautioned him that this help would have its limits. The George family had crossed paths with a powerful adversary, and any further meddling could jeopardize his friendâs safety.
Adamson came to understand that the sudden bankruptcy of the George Group, which had forced him to quickly hand it over to his wife and daughter, was the result of offending a powerful figure.
He spent an entire day and night trying to figure out who he might have offended, eventually settling on Collin as the one to blame. In the entire George family, who else could have made such a mistake?
Collin stood there, quivering.
Adamsonâs presence was threatening, almost as if he were about to strike at any moment. The worst part for Collin was that he had no idea what wrongdoing he was being accused of!
Since escaping Baythorn to avoid taking responsibility, Collin had been mostly reclusive, hardly in a position to provoke anyone powerful. Moreover, wasnât the bankruptcy of the George Group largely due to Adamsonâs own mismanagement? Of course, Collin kept these thoughts to himself.
