?Chapter 661: Lonnie said nothing, but his silence was all the approval Rhys needed.


    Taking a slight pause to gather his thoughts, Rhys began, If my memory serves me right, it was the same day the Sanderson family invited her back.


    That day was chaotic.


    My grandfather had a sudden health scare, and we had to arrange for him to be flown abroad for treatment.


    But midway through the flight, my helicopter encountered a malfunction.


    It was a dire situation, and by sheer coincidence, I crossed paths with Harlees helicopter.


    I asked for her help, hoping she could get us where we needed to go.


    However, she declined, suggesting instead that she could just transfer the control system.


    Lonnie couldnt help but interrupt.


    Humph, naturally, she mustve been eager toe home and reunite with us.


    Who in their right mind would want to y chauffeur for you? Rhys let out a chuckle, choosing not to argue.


    Despite theplications that ensued, Harlee ended up joining us.


    She intended to leave initially, but then, in a semi-conscious state, my grandfather confused her with Nic, given her striking resemnce to Nic, and insisted she stay… Nic, Sk interjected, her eyes narrowing with curiosity.


    Are you talking about Nic? Rhys nodded, the faintest smile touching his lips.


    Prompted by Sks inquiry, Lonnie remembered Nic, the legendary figure whose influence had been pivotal in their family lore.


    Indeed, without Nics remarkable contributions, neither the Sanderson family nor the Green family would stand among the esteemed families they were today.


    Their current prominence was unthinkable without her legacy.

    From their earliest days, Nic was the heart of the trio, guiding them through their studies, yful escapades, journeys abroad for education, andter into the realm of business.


    For nearly three decades, the three were nearly inseparable.


    However, as time passed, Nic became aware of a shift in Nathaniels feelings toward her.


    These feelings, which crossed the bounds of their lifelong camaraderie, left Nic unsettled.


    Unwilling to confront such unconventional affection, and always having seen Nathaniel and Lonnies father as her juniors, Nic chose to distance herself to keep Nathaniel from losing his way.


    Her ability to vanish was so adept that even Nathaniel, with all his resources and sess, failed to locate her.


    Sk knew Nic because Nic had returned when she and Lonnie held their wedding.


    Having admired Nic since childhood for her business acumen, Sk held a deep respect for Nic, cherishing her influence in her life.


    Lost in memories, Lonnie mused aloud, Ah, thats why I felt such warmth when I saw Harlee.


    She bears a striking resemnce to Nic… At this, Sk gently nudged Lonnie with her elbow, a silent reminder to be cautious of the setting and to avoid sharing too much about Nics past in front of the younger family members.


    Lonnies focus sharpened abruptly, his stern gaze locking in ce.


    And then? Rhys, seemingly ready for this, continued earnestly, I confess, the first time I saw Harlee working on that helicopter, something stirred inside me.
