Harlees eyes narrowed as she processed the implications.
Her voice was steady as she responded, Thanks, Brenton.
Ill handle it.
No sooner had Harlee finished speaking than Skyla rang Brenton.
She seemed on the verge of saying something to him, but held back, ending with Just called, before abruptly disconnecting.
After dialing Skylas number, Harlee was greeted by Lonnies irate tone, his words underscored by Skylas plea for her to return home.

Brenton disclosed that, aside from himself and Kareem, the entire Sanderson family disapproved of Harlees relationship with Rhys, Clint included, who was recuperating in the hospital.
Yet, Skyla wished for Harlees joy, and her attitude softened.
If your love for each other is true, let him demonstrate that his feelings are deep and genuine, she suggested gently.

Etta had effortlessly woven her deceit through the Sanderson family, leaving no thread loose.
Not even Brenton harbored any suspicions.
Clearly, someone incredibly adept was orchestrating her moves from the shadows.
Of all the people Harlee had crossed paths with, only Hale held such unmatched expertise.
The realization sent a fleeting shiver of surprise across her visage.
She hadnt anticipated Hales influence reaching so expansively.
Harlee surmised Etta was merely a pawn in Hales grand scheme, a divertherm distraction crafted to divert her attention and make her fall into the trap after underestimating her enemies. This tactic was meticulously orchestrated to catch her defenseless.
And yet, Harlee found herself too drained to confront Hale directly allowing him to turk in the shadows, poised to strike at the perfect moment. Hale had indeed masterminded his plans with precision.
But, paradoxically, this onslaught of challenges was almostadvantageous.
