Chapter 637:
Gaining two genuine friends had truly been a blessing!
Nearby, Eva, clutching Harleeâs leg and savoring a lollipop, glanced up with curiosity sparkling in her young eyes.
âMommy, does this mean we get to stay with Harlee?â
Cassie tenderly stroked Evaâs hair, her voice soft.
âIf we stay here with Harlee, what about your daddy? Would you want him to be lonely at home?â
Eva, puzzled why her dad couldnât simply join them, nonetheless shook her head with determination.
âNo.
Daddy shouldnât be all alone.â
Harlee crouched down to meet Evaâs gaze, her smile warm and reassuring.
âEva, you can come visit me anytime you miss me.â
âReally?â Evaâs face lit up with joy.
As she twirled around in her excitement, her cheerful laughter drew gentle smiles from all the adults.
Unbeknownst to them, the friendship blossoming through Eva would someday play a crucial role in steering the Sanderson and Patterson families clear of an impending calamity.
At the Juarez familyâs residence, tension filled the air as Elvinâs and Evitaâs expressions grew stormy upon hearing Valentinaâs misleading words.

Evita had believed that her direct intervention and apology would soften Skyla, with the aim of securing the Sanderson familyâs aid for the Juarez family. She had not expected that Harlee, the daughter the Sanderson family had recently reconnected with, had covertly intimidated Liliana to such an extent that Liliana was too frightened to return home. She was beside herself with fury.
With a resolve hardened by anger, Evita rose from her seat and dialed Lilianaâs number, her tone firm as she insisted Liliana return home immediately.
At that moment, Liliana was busy packing her bags.
Despite her reluctance, she couldnât find it in herself to refuse Evita. She agreed to visit, though with a precaution. She brought along two bodyguards, courtesy of Gregoryâs arrangements.
Before long, the modest living room of the Juarez family estate was bursting at the seams. Not only had Liliana arrived, but Liam and Laura had also joined the gathering. Indeed, a strategic alliance had formed between the two families, united by a common aim. They both needed something from Skyla and Harlee.
Amidst the crowded room, Elvin unleashed his frustration on Evita.
âLook at the mess youâve made! You canât even manage Skyla? Iâve always said we should maintain a close relationship with her to strengthen our bond.
But no, you chose to command her, to treat her as if she were a servant to the Juarez family.
Do you still think we hold the power we once did?â
Evita took the head seat at the table, her complexion ashen, her lips sealed in silence. The scolding from her son, unfolding so cruelly in the presence of the Gill family, had caught her entirely off guard.
Had she not sought out Skyla for the betterment of the Juarez family? Had she not worked tirelessly to lift them from their desolation? And now, he had the nerve to put the blame on her? This ungrateful little brat!
