?Chapter 632: Eager to bond, Eva reached for Harlees hand, but Harlee instinctively stepped back.


    Apologies, Im not veryfortable with physical contact from people Ive just met, Harlee stated.


    Hearing this, Evas wide, innocent eyes sparkled with understanding.


    She was d Harlee harbored no dislike for her, just that she wasnt ustomed to closeness with strangers.


    Tilting her head, Eva gazed up at Harlee and spoke sweetly.


    I came with my mommy today just to thank you.


    If you hadnt caught me yesterday, I couldve been really hurt or worse! Eva eximed.


    She had overheard her scheming cousin conspiring with another woman, plotting to harm her so their son could be the Patterson heir.


    Harlee reached out and gently tousled Evas hair, her voice soft but firm.


    You need to learn to take better care of yourself, okay? Eva, the cherished child of the Patterson family, had been surrounded by an abundance of caretakers throughout her life.


    Despite this, she had mysteriously fallen off an esctor.


    It wasnt hard to deduce that this incident was no mere ident, but part of a carefully orchestrated scheme.


    Nevertheless, Harlee had no desire to entangle herself in another familys turmoil.


    She simply found Eva utterly enchanting and wanted to impart a gentle admonition.


    Eva, with an earnest nod, tantly disregarded Cassies outstretched hand.


    With a serene yet resolute expression, she dered, Mom, I want to talk to her in private.


    I want to stay with her.


    You should see if shes avable first, Eva, Cassie interjected softly, her smile tinged with an apologetic grace.


    She turned her gaze toward Harlee, gratitude brimming in her eyes.


    Your escape begins with g?lnσν?????s?????????m You saved my daughter, and words cant express my gratitude.


    The two plots ofnd Arthur offered you seem so insufficient.


    I nned toe byst night to express my thanks personally but didnt wish to disturb your rest.


    Hence, I opted for this morning instead.


    We are organizing an exclusive international g in a few days, and if its not too much trouble, I would be delighted to have you join us.


    At the mention of the international g, a subtle smile tugged at Harlees lips.


    That was the prestigious event she had once sought an invitation to.


    Now, fate seemed to y in her favor as the Patterson family were the very hosts of the g.


    Seizing the opportunity before her, Harlees eyes sparkled with a mix of surprise and resolve.


    She nodded graciously.


    Thank you for the invitation, Mrs.


    Patterson.


    I would be honored to attend.


    Cassie released a subtle sigh of relief, her smile spreading warmly.


    Its such a pleasure to know youre interested, Miss Sanderson.


    Harlees grin mirrored Cassies as she swiftly texted Rhys.


    Already secured the invite.


    No worries now.


    At the same moment, Rhys, gazing at two invitations resting on his nightstand, let out a chuckle.


    His n to surprise Harlee tomorrow was disrupted.


    Indeed, she was more capable than he imagined.


    At the sprawling Sanderson vi, Eva intertwined her arm with Harlees, their posture radiating an intimacy like that of inseparable friends.


    Cassie, initially anxious about overstepping with Harlee, now observed Harlees ease and felt a wave of relief wash over her.


    She resumed her lively conversation with Sk.
