Furious, Belinda swept everything off the table, sending items crashing to the living room floor.
Belinda blamed Nathaniel, assuming that if he hadn't insisted on raising Rhys himself, her relationship with Rhys wouldn't have been so strained.
Now, their dynamics could be described as merely a nominal bond between mother and son.
Her fingers tightened on the sofa cushion as her anger grew. She didn't dare confront Nathaniel, nor could she bear to hurt her son, so she directed her fury toward Harlee.

After a long silence, he glanced at his phone and stated, "The Sanderson family sabotaged over a dozen of our key projects, and I've yet to settle the score. Now they want to marry their daughter into our family? As if!" Belinda's gaze was icy, her sneer full of contempt.
"How absurd!" she sneered.
"A country bumpkin like her dared to dream of marrying into our Green family!" Then, Belinda grasped Jose's hand.
"Jose, we have to stop her from marrying into our family." Jose soothed her, patting her hand.

"Harlee chere to visit you, not to be judged!" Without giving Belinda a chance to retort, Rhys added firmly, "Mom, if you can't show Harlee respect, then we don't need to stay." His tone was authoritative, aimed at quelling any backlash.

"These are the gifts Harlee picked out for you, all chosen with great care!" Rhys knew the allure of the gifts Harlee brought and opened the gift boxes to reveal them.

Her demeanor shifted instantly as her eyes fell on the high-end custom dresses and exquisite jewelry, items sand unavailable for purchase by ordinary means. Clearly, considerable effort had gone into selecting these precious gifts.
Belinda's mind wandered to a tbefore her fallout with Skyla, when Skyla had confided that even she couldn't obtain jewelry from these exclusive brands. Could it be...
Belinda's gaze moved to Harlee. This time, her expression softened into one of shock and admiration.
Any trace of disdain she had previously held was gone. If Harlee was truly this exceptional, her being a Sanderson no longer mattered. Yet, prideful as ever, Belinda was determined not to display too much enthusiasm for the gifts. She decided to wait for Harlee to make the first move, as if it were Harlee's responsibility to win her over.
