Chapter 836:
âWhereâs my assistant of gossip? I need answers right now!â
âI have a relative who was lucky enough to be on the guest list. She overheard that Harleeâs been kidnapped!â
Although the last comment was swiftly deleted, sharp-eyed users managed to capture screenshots. Soon, the hashtag #HarleeWasAbducted began trending across social media, sparking a frenzy of speculation.
âI heard from a reliable source that Lindsay, who caused quite a stir before, is the one behind this!â
âHey, the internet isnât a lawless place. Remember, spreading false information has consequences!â
Despite the criticism, the comment suggesting Lindsayâs involvement remained visible, fueling the fire.
Curiosity grew rapidly, and South Sky Prison, along with the hospital where Lindsay had received medical treatment, became hotspots for online sleuths. With no official statements released, wild theories spiraled out of control, some even suggesting that the entire situation was part of a larger conspiracy.
Amid the chaos, the Sanderson family chose to remain silent, refusing to address the online frenzy.
Their efforts were solely focused on finding Harlee. Rhys paid no attention to the swirling opinions online; his only priority was locating her.
At the Sanderson family home, Skyla regained consciousness after fainting from the devastating news of Harleeâs disappearance. Lonnie gently held her hand, his concern evident as he whispered, âHoney, donât panic.
Harlee will be okay.â
Má´Êá´ á´á´á´ á´á´á´s ɪɴ É¢á´ÊÉ´á´á´ á´Ês.á´á´á´
Tears streamed down Skylaâs cheeks as she murmured, âWhy must Harlee endure so much? After everything sheâs been through, just as happiness was within reach, this happens⦠Is this my punishment for past mistakes? Lonnie, I regret everything. I shouldnât have projected my love for Harlee onto Etta during all those years we searched for her. My indulgence turned Etta into someone capable of conspiring with outsiders against Harlee.â
Skyla broke down completely, kneeling as she prayed fervently for Harleeâs safety, willing to take on her suffering if it meant Harlee would be spared. Lonnie, his own eyes filled with sorrow, knelt beside her and held her tightly.
Despite his overwhelming urge to join the search for Harlee, he couldnât leave Skyla alone in her fragile state. Unable to find the right words to comfort her, he simply stayed by her side, holding her in silent solidarity.
Outside the room, Clintâs anger flared as he summoned Kane.
âKeep everything under wraps. Nyomiâs disappearance must remain hidden. If anyone leaks this, Iâll handle them personally.â
Clint knew Skyla couldnât bear another blow in her current state, and the news of Nyomiâs disappearanceâsomeone Skyla held dearlyâwould be too much for her to handle. Though desperate to join the search for Harlee, Clint remained at home, prioritizing his familyâs stability.
âIâll ensure itâs handled,â Kane replied firmly, his expression resolute.
On a rugged cliff, Lindsay approached Harlee after finishing her meal, her demeanor calm yet foreboding.
Despite everything, Harlee remained calm, her composure visibly irritating Lindsay. It frustrated her that Harlee was such a tough nut to crack.
Suddenly, Harleeâs stomach growled audibly, breaking the tense silence.
Hearing it, Lindsay smirked, barely hiding her excitement. She finally had an opening to torment Harlee further.
