?Chapter 517: What are you trying to pull here, Harlee? To beat you both up, Harlee replied without hesitation.


    Its toote for you to run now.


    Ettas fists tightened.


    Dont be so arrogant, Harlee! Do you think were just weaklings you can push around? Harlee raised an eyebrow, clearly entertained.


    Oh? Finally dropping the pretense? Didnt you always act like we were so close? Ettas voice was cold.


    Youve never liked me.


    I get it.


    After all, your parents favor me.


    But Lindsay? Shes done nothing to you! You even stole her parents affection.


    How could you sink this low? Harleeughed, her disdainful chuckle cutting through Ettas words.


    Etta, with your adept performance before different people, you should consider a career as an actress.


    You! Etta was at a loss for words.


    Harlee Sanderson, this wont end well for you! Lindsay growled, attempting to stand and escape.


    Harlee stepped in front of her, blocking her path with a cold smile.


    Lɑτ??τ cнαρτ?rs ????n g????l????ov?l????.????o???? Tell me, Lindsay, have you ever been beaten up before? Lindsay froze.


    As the treasured child of the Morgan family, the idea of someone striking her was unfathomable.


    In fact, even a yful tap was unthinkable.


    Smack! A forceful pnded on Lindsays left cheek, leaving her stunned.


    Understand now? Harlees voice dripped with mockery.


    Lindsay was stunned, too dazed to process Harlees words.


    She stood motionless, and words eluded her.


    Smack! A p struck Lindsays right cheek.


    Standing tall, exuding an aura of dominance like a queen reigning over her domain, Harlee sneered, This is the apology you asked for.


    Satisfied now? It took Lindsay several moments to grasp the reality.


    She had been pped twice.


    Her hands curled into tight fists.


    She bitterly realized that no matter how she managed to strike back, she would ultimately be the one taking the blows.


    Harlees strikes were swift and precise, far beyond what an ordinary person could achieve.


    It felt as though she had undergone rigorous training.


    Lindsay knew she couldnt overpower Harlee.


    But her pride refused to let her plead or concede.


    All she could do was re at Harlee with icy defiance.


    Noticing Lindsays scowl, Harlee broke into a bright, unsettling smile.


    Whats the matter? Want to hit me? Lindsay immediately stiffened, her guard going up.


    Taking a deep breath, she decided to swallow her pride to protect herself.


    Harlee, lets call it even.


    I know Ive wronged you, but havent you always provoked me first? Lets settle this once and for all.


    Besides, if my parents find out youre hurting me, their only child, theyll be devastated.


    We dont have to be allies, but we dont have to be enemies either.


    For someone as proud as Lindsay, these words were shockinga rare concession.


    Harlees lips curled into a smirk as she nced at Etta, who was doing her best to stay unnoticed.
