Chapter 449:
Caught between her familyâs disapproval of her boyfriend and her affections, she felt compelled to endure the ongoing situation.
Rhys, understanding her priorities, simply waved as they left.
He didnât want to corner her.
He was determined to remove every obstacle in their way, ensuring that when the time came, he could guide her forward without any hesitation.
Elsewhere, Lindsay paid another visit to Kelley, who was recovering in an elegant hospital suite. Lindsay sat gracefully, leisurely enjoying her coffee.
Kelleyâs expression soured.
âWhy did you come to me? Iâm of no use to you now!â she snapped, her voice tinged with bitterness. Kelley figured that had it not been for Lindsay, her reputation would have remained intact. Now, not only were her business partners abandoning her, but her own company was looking to sue her for breach of contract and terminate their agreement. She had become a public punching bag, with everyone lining up to take a shot at her.
Lindsay, unbothered by Kelleyâs words, maintained her cool demeanor.
âEver heard of the Brooks Groupâs entertainment division? I can arrange for Wade Brooks to sign you. Iâll even handle your penalties.â
Kelleyâs sharp gaze fixed on Lindsay, and beneath her anger, a flicker of greed appeared. Just the thought of being signed by Wade was enticing enough. In the industry, it was widely known that if Wade took someone under his wing, a rise to fame or even later marrying into a respected family would be guaranteed.
âWhat is it that you want in return?â Kelley openly admitted to her greed, her demeanor returning to the respectful tone she had shown earlier.

Lindsay set her coffee aside after a thoughtful moment.
âJust one thing.
Be my weapon.
Help me take down Harlee.â
Leaving her contact details on the table, Lindsay rose to leave. Pausing at the door, she threw over her shoulder with a sly grin, âThink it over and call me.â
âBy the way, Iâm not patient.â
In recent months, Lindsay had grasped a crucial lesson. To secure Rhysâ affection, she couldnât rely merely on others. She had spent the past two months calming herself and studying Harleeâs effortless charm. If Harlee was Rhysâ type, then she was prepared to transform into precisely what he desired.
Kelley rolled her eyes as Lindsayâs retreating figure disappeared through the door. Lindsay was so sure of herself simply because fortune smiled on her at birth.
About ten minutes passed, filled with Kelleyâs internal debate over Lindsayâs proposition, when her brother, Warren Archer, showed up.
âKelley, are you okay? Iâve seen what theyâre saying online, and itâs brutal,â Warren said, concern etching his features.
Kelley responded with a cold stare.
âKeep that nonsense away from me!â She had avoided the internet entirely since the incident.
Warren, puzzled, scratched his head.
âArenât you furious? I had expected to find you tearing this room apart.
