Chapter 104:

“Alright, Miss Sanderson. Try to get some rest early tonight. I’ll let Mrs. Sanderson know in the morning.”

“Thank you, Kane.”

Saturday morning came.

Harlee indulged in a rare lie-in.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she turned on the TV to catch the news, waking herself up while getting out of bed.

“Our mayor has compromised his principles, succumbed to bribery, and violated organizational guidelines.

He will be removed from public office…”

Harlee paused, quickly grabbed her phone, and checked the latest updates about Baythorn.

It wasn’t just the mayor. The deputy police chief was also ousted and under investigation, and three small companies declared bankruptcy simultaneously. This morning, under a bridge in Baythorn, a group of half-naked men was found stacked on each other. The man on top bragged, saying, “My dad is the mayor,” which got recorded and shared online, leading to their eventual arrest by the police.

The video received over a hundred million views in just an hour, and news of the mayor’s dismissal quickly followed, igniting public outrage.

“Ha, figures this kid could yell, ‘My dad is the mayor.’ Their entire family is rotten!”

“This guy is such an eyesore, half-naked and making gross gestures. If I were the homeless person nearby, it would leave me a haunting mental scar.”

Netizens even began cracking jokes.

“Not everyone can say their dad’s a mayor.”

“Your dad and my dad.

Clearly, they’re not cut from the same cloth.”

Harlee thought back to the previous night when Rhys suddenly appeared and tenderly cleaned the blood off her hands.

Her heart warmed at that moment. She acknowledged with approval, “Rhys…

He’s quick to act!”

After getting ready, Harlee headed downstairs.

By that time, Lonnie and Skyla had already caught their flight to Maskana, leaving only Callie and Etta at home. Neither Callie nor Etta glanced up as Harlee came down the stairs. With the rest of the Sanderson family absent, Etta felt no need to pretend, while Callie did not see Harlee, the recently returned heiress of the Sanderson family, as her master.

However, when Callie saw the other maids greeting Harlee, she reluctantly greeted her as well, worried that Kane would punish her for this upon his return from the airport.

Callie pulled out a chair next to Etta and invited Harlee to join them.

“Miss Sanderson, Mrs. Sanderson mentioned you prefer lighter meals, so she asked me to prepare something simple for you this morning.”

Harlee looked at Callie and chose to sit opposite Etta.

Etta, annoyed by Harlee’s haughty demeanor, sarcastically said, “Oh, look at Miss Sanderson, too grand to even notice the maid speaking.”

Harlee coolly lifted her gaze, smirking.
