âIf she canât manage, weâll deal with them all.â
âUnderstood!â Ritchie replied, his expression fierce.
Before leaving, Harlee paused to ask, âIs Barbaraâs last name Marshall?â
Ritchie nodded.
âThen letâs rename it to the Marshall Group,â Harlee suggested casually, as if deciding on a menu item for lunch.

Ritchie didnât explain Harleeâs absence.

Barbara, reluctant to challenge Harlee, accepted the daunting task.
âAlright! In three days, I assure you, Miss Sanderson will not see the George Group in Baythorn.â
Her determination was clear in her gaze.
âYes, she can see the Marshall Group instead!â
Barbara was puzzled.
âThe Marshall Group?â
Ritchie lifted an eyebrow.
âYes, Harlee doesnât want to see the George Group anymore. Itâs to be renamed the Marshall Group.â
