Chapter 744: "Yes, Rhys is currently in the Sanderson residence's study, apparently discussing their marriage plans...” Etta meticulously reported Harlee's recent movements before asking, “May I know what my next steps are?" At the other end of the line, Hale's eyes, which had been half-closed, suddenly shot wide open.
A sharp and intense gleam flickered in them as he murmured Harlee's name.
His eyes darkened with twisted obsession.
"Soon, I'll arrange for Lindsay's release from prison. You'll join forces with her to abduct Harlee directly," Hale said, a sinister smile creeping across his face.

"Alright.
By the way, an honorable elder has arrived at the Sanderson family estate, and Harlee holds her in high regard. I propose we kidnap the elder as well. If Harlee tries to escape, we can use the elder as a bargaining chip!" "You are indeed my most valuable asset. Well done.
After this, I'll take you to Uwhor," Hale responded, his voice dripping with intrigue.
Etta raised her head from under the covers, a trace of red highlighting her dark eyes as she licked her brightly colored lips.
"Thank you." A moment later, Etta stared at the screen showing the disconnected call.
A trace of happiness appeared on her face, which swiftly gave way to cold, seething anger. She pondered that merely killing Harlee would be too merciful. She desired not only Harlee's death but also to kill those dear to her right before her eyes.
Etta knew better than to target anyone from the Sanderson family, but Nyomi seemed like an easy target to her -nothing more than a mere country bumpkin.
Capturing Nyomi would allow her to hold it against Harlee, thus gaining the chance to end the lives of those cherished by Harlee, torturing her in the process.
This thought alone made Etta unleash a bone-chilling laugh. She eagerly anticipated the moment Harlee would kneel, pleading for mercy.

"I'll transfer all my assets to Harlee, except for those she prefers not to have." "All of them?" Lonnie found himself taken aback by Rhys' declaration. The notion of Rhys surrendering his entire wealth to Harlee had not crossed Lonnie's mind.
Over time, through tests and private investigations, it becevident to Lonnie that Rhys held a deep affection for Harlee.
Although Lonnie frowned at Rhys' difficult parents, concerned that they might make things difficult for Harlee upon marriage, he recognized that only Nathaniel and Rhys held the Green family reins, able to ensure Harlee was in for a good life. Plus, with Rhys' willingness to allocate all his assets to Harlee, Harlee, along with Nathaniel, would essentially govern the Green family's decisions.
By then, despite Rhys' parents' troublesnature, they would likely know better that to the rubik know better than to bother Harlee. They might even seek her goodwill in the future.
After thorough consideration, Lonnie concluded that Rhys was indeed a reliable man, and his mind could be at ease, if he entrusted Harlee's care to Rhys hand. Lonnie solely desired a prosperous and untroubled marital alliance for Harlee, and Rhys' gesture of transferring his wealth to Harlee seemed to ensure just that.
