Chapter 618:

Bringing my grandma into this is just the beginning of her plan. Your mom spent years with the Juarez family before marrying, and as long as my grandma keeps applying pressure, your mom will eventually cave. I’ve tried to reason with my mom, but she’s obsessed and won’t listen to reason. I don’t fully understand her motives, but I wanted to warn you and your mom to be careful.”

Caught off guard by the confession, Harlee switched off the engine and studied Liliana, her gaze cold and mocking.

“What’s this sudden change of heart, Ms. Juarez?” she asked.

Was Liliana really here to betray her own mother, who was seeking to benefit her, for the sake of delivering a warning?

Liliana adjusted her child and continued, her tone soft but firm, “I’m not here to make amends with you. I just hope you’ll put an end to their schemes before it’s too late.

Honestly, none of them stand a chance against you, especially with Rhys supporting you. So, I selfishly hope they’ll stop before causing a disaster.

But if you decide to disregard family ties and act against them, I only ask that you follow the law.”

Harlee listened without interruption, her lips curving into a sardonic smile.

“Do you honestly expect me to believe you’ve turned over a new leaf and developed a conscience, Ms. Juarez? Do you seriously think that by pretending to be submissive and kind-hearted, you will stop me from acting against your family?”

Liliana instinctively wanted to explain, but the words caught in her throat. She knew that any attempt to explain would be futile.

After all, Harlee had no reason to trust her.

Liliana studied Harlee’s striking features, her lips curling into a bittersweet smile.

Every journey starts at gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s․c𝗈𝗆

An odd mix of longing and resignation flickered in her expression as she murmured, “Harlee, you deserve an extraordinary life.”

If Harlee thrived, Liliana could pretend her own aspirations had been realized through Harlee.

With those parting words, Liliana turned and walked toward her nearby vehicle, her child nestled in her arms.

Harlee’s gaze lingered on Liliana’s retreating form until Liliana’s silhouette shrank into the distance.

A fleeting intensity flickered in her eyes before she shook it off. It didn’t matter. Their relationship was too fractured for them to ever maintain a cousinly connection.

As for the Juarez family, Harlee had planned to train her mother to handle their schemes, but now she reconsidered.

A delicate flower cultivated in safety didn’t need to face the storm.

Her mother deserved a carefree existence, untouched by deceit.

Resolving to shield her mother, Harlee started the car and drove toward the Sanderson estate.

Approaching the gate, her attention was drawn to a figure waiting at the entrance. It was Laura, standing purposefully in her path.

The moment Laura spotted Harlee’s car, she hurried forward, placing herself directly in its way without hesitation.

Harlee’s reaction was calm, her surprise nonexistent.

She had anticipated something like this. The whispered discussions between Liam and Laura in the waiting room had already revealed Liam’s intentions, especially his nervousness around Rhys and his greed for personal gain.

Harlee had seen through Liam’s mindset effortlessly.
