Chapter 921:

“Looks like you’re nothing more than a woman leaning on a man for support,” Harlee taunted, her tone laced with casual scorn.

Anika’s rage reignited upon hearing those words.

“Harlee, wipe that smirk off your face. You’re nothing but a woman Rhys has discarded!”

In the past, Anika could have retaliated immediately, but with Rhys watching, she aimed to preserve her poised facade.

Frustrated, she stamped her foot and made a show of turning away.

Yet, Anika was forced to halt after a mere step as Harlee, seizing the moment, grabbed a teacup from the table and splashed its contents over both Rhys and Anika. The tea drenched Rhys’ hair and smeared Anika’s perfectly applied makeup.

Harlee said mockingly, “What’s with the attitude? You’re clinging to a man who means nothing to me now.”

“Harlee Sanderson!” Anika seethed with fury.

Harlee’s faint smile didn’t waver as she sneered disdainfully.

“Pathetic trash. Who the hell do you think you are, screaming at me?”

No matter the situation, Harlee remained calm, her tone never betraying a hint of emotion.

Blinded by rage, Anika was on the verge of losing herself.

Her hand twitched, ready to strike Harlee, when Nathaniel’s voice jolted her back to reality.

“Rhys!”

Nathaniel leaned on his cane as he walked up to Harlee, exhaling deeply with relief when he saw Rhys standing there unharmed.

His voice was serious as he said, “Harlee is the only one the Green family recognizes as Rhys’ wife. Rhys, if you insist on bringing that woman into our home, then you must leave!”

Anika’s eyes widened in shock. She had not anticipated the Green family would threaten Rhys with expulsion just for Harlee’s sake. This turn of events deviated from her plan, leaving her momentarily speechless.

Rhys’ eyes held a complexity beyond mere detachment.

“Fine, I’ll leave,” he said, taking Anika’s hand and walking away without looking back.

Harlee’s brow furrowed, a sense of unease washing over her as she watched Rhys walk away.

Belinda immediately enveloped Harlee in a warm embrace, her eyes soft with tenderness.

“Harlee…” Instead of seeking comfort, Harlee reassured them with a smile.

“I’m fine. Isn’t it enough that Rhys is safe? Why do you all look like this?”

Touched deeply, Nathaniel looked at Harlee with great fondness.

“Harlee, would you consider truly being a part of our family?”

Having known Harlee for three years, Nathaniel recognized her integrity and foresaw her eventual request for a divorce after this confrontation, prompting his timely proposal.

Taken aback yet touched, Harlee nodded affirmatively, already considering the Green family as her real family.

While the warmth filled the Green family residence, Rhys was elsewhere, soothing an angry Anika.

“Anika, please calm down,” he whispered.

“They don’t know you yet, and that’s why they reacted this way. I’m confident they’ll come to accept you as family.
