Chapter 621:

Laura’s laughter rang out, tinged with mockery.

“One-sixth? What claim do you even hold to such a share of the Sanderson family’s wealth? Handing over a few million to you would be nothing short of a benevolence!”

It was only then that Harlee grasped the full implication of Laura’s words. Unfamiliar with the nuances of gender prejudice, she had failed to consider such a perspective.

Her expression twisted into one of profound revulsion as she faced Laura.

“And who, exactly, has led you to believe that Harlee would receive merely one-sixth of the assets?”

At that moment, a deep, controlled, yet intense voice intervened from behind them.

“Half of the Sanderson family’s assets belong to her!”

Brenton strode forward, his presence commanding as he positioned himself beside Harlee.

He had emerged just as Laura brought up the division of the Sanderson family’s wealth.

Harlee had previously instructed the servants not to inform the Sanderson family of the unfolding events at the gate, leaving them oblivious to the confrontation.

Laura, taken aback, opened her mouth to contest but found herself abruptly silenced. The authority in Brenton’s tone and his emergence from within the Sanderson family estate underscored his words as the family’s official position, rendering any attempt at contradiction futile and absurd.

Laura glanced at Harlee and Brenton before breaking the silence with an awkward introduction.

“Hello, I’m Harlee’s grandmother.”

Brenton raised an eyebrow and let out a chuckle, his tone tinged with mock surprise.

“I wasn’t aware I had gained another grandmother.”

At his words, Laura’s face fell into a frown.

Harlee fixed Laura with a frosty stare, her voice sharp and biting.

“Mrs.

Gill, you and everyone in the Gill family are repulsive!”

Laura’s features hardened, her eyes narrowing slightly at Harlee.

“Harlee, you…”

Harlee’s gaze became piercing, cutting through the tension.

“What are the Gills to me? The nerve of you claiming to be my family!”

Laura felt a chill under Harlee’s menacing look. She had intended to defend Liam’s honor and reprimand Harlee for her lack of respect, but the fierceness in Harlee’s eyes silenced her words before they could form.

Harlee’s lips twisted into a scornful smile, her expression chilling as she spoke.

“I’ve already warned you twice.

Dare to cross me a third time, and I’ll take down you, your son, and all that the Gill family holds dear! The cost will be severe. I’ll ensure you never have the audacity to stand before me again. On top of that, I’ll haunt every moment of your future with remorse for daring to provoke me over such trivial matters! Test my resolve if you dare, for I, Harlee, never break a promise!”

Laura’s cheeks twitched uncontrollably.

Her entire body shook, and her eyes widened to the brink, creating a grotesque and unsettling sight. She gazed at Harlee in utter disbelief. Never in Laura’s years had she faced such a dire threat, especially not from the granddaughter she had once dismissed.
