Chapter 598: He slowly started to accept him as Harlees boyfriend.
After a thoughtful pause and a lengthy silence, Kareem finally voiced his curiosity.
Harlee, do you really like him? Without hesitation, Harlee affirmed her feelings, her sincerity unmistakable.
Yes, I do.
But you know, family means the world to me.
For Harlee, no matter how much she liked Rhys, his place in her heart would never solidify until her family accepted him.
If her family demanded that she end things, she wouldnt hesitate.
Above all, family held the highest place in her heart.
She had devoted her early years, hoping to receive care from the Gill family, though it had always remained just out of reach.
Fortunately, the Sanderson family had showered her with the warmth and love she had longed for since her return.
Kareem tenderly tousled Harlees hair, his features softening into a gentle smile.
After a moment, his expression turned solemn as he withdrew his hand and gazed at her intently.
I support your relationship, he declared.
Harlees reaction was one of utter disbelief.
Her eyes widened, and her lips parted slightly in shock.
Kareems face softened into a warm smile as he continued, There are few who would brave dangers for you.
Im willing to give him a second chance.
However, my approval doesnt mean I wont hold him accountable if he ever hurts you! Discover the best stories at gαℓησv????????s․com Originally, aside from the sudden cancellation of the engagement, Kareem had been quite pleased with Rhys.
His hostility toward Rhys had stemmed solely from the natural protectiveness of a brother.
Now, witnessing Rhys profound commitment to Harlee, he found no reason to stand in their way.
Harlee was taken aback, remembering how Brenton had previously seemed to consent but had imposed numerous conditions on Rhys.
Kareems unconditional endorsement was a stark contrast.
She quickly regained her poise, a grateful smile spreading across her face as she nodded at Kareem.
Thank you, Kareem.
Kareem uttered a contemplative Hmm, his features swiftly adopting a grave demeanor.
Indecision was not in his nature, yet this particular issue had kept him pondering longer than usual.
Harlee, when I took the path you suggested, I went ahead and made some additional arrangements, deploying four of my team to the designated open area.
What they found was quite unforeseen… The woman who raised you from the Gill family was crouched behind a boulder, claiming she got lost during a hike.
However, something tells me theres more to her story than a simple accident.
Harlees reaction was a nonchalant Oh, her face betraying no emotion.
While I doubt shes involved with the fraud syndicate, your doubts have some validity.
Shes inherently malicious and could very well engage in something as perilous as collaborating with terrorists to jeopardize national security.
That said, Kareem, perhaps you should have your team handle the interrogation.
She tends to intimidate the vulnerable and cower before the authoritative, and she might withhold information from you, believing youll treat her leniently as my brother.
If need be, apply some pressure.
