?Chapter 836:


    “Where’s my assistant of gossip? I need answers right now!”


    “I have a rtive who was lucky enough to be on the guest list. She overheard that Harlee’s been kidnapped!”


    Although thestment was swiftly deleted, sharp-eyed users managed to capture screenshots. Soon, the hashtag #HarleeWasAbducted began trending across social media, sparking a frenzy of spection.


    “I heard from a reliable source that Lindsay, who caused quite a stir before, is the one behind this!”


    “Hey, the inte isn’t awless ce. Remember, spreading false information has consequences!”


    Despite the criticism, thement suggesting Lindsay’s involvement remained visible, fueling the fire.


    Curiosity grew rapidly, and South Sky Prison, along with the hospital where Lindsay had received medical treatment, became hotspots for online sleuths. With no official statements released, wild theories spiraled out of control, some even suggesting that the entire situation was part of arger conspiracy.


    Amid the chaos, the Sanderson family chose to remain silent, refusing to address the online frenzy.


    Their efforts were solely focused on finding Harlee. Rhys paid no attention to the swirling opinions online; his only priority was locating her.


    At the Sanderson family home, Sk regained consciousness after fainting from the devastating news of Harlee’s disappearance. Lonnie gently held her hand, his concern evident as he whispered, “Honey, don’t panic.


    Harlee will be okay.”


    M??? ??????s ?? ????????s.???


    Tears streamed down Sk’s cheeks as she murmured, “Why must Harlee endure so much? After everything she’s been through, just as happiness was within reach, this happens… Is this my punishment for past mistakes? Lonnie, I regret everything. I shouldn’t have projected my love for Harlee onto Etta during all those years we searched for her. My indulgence turned Etta into someone capable of conspiring with outsiders against Harlee.”


    Sk broke downpletely, kneeling as she prayed fervently for Harlee’s safety, willing to take on her suffering if it meant Harlee would be spared. Lonnie, his own eyes filled with sorrow, knelt beside her and held her tightly.


    Despite his overwhelming urge to join the search for Harlee, he couldn’t leave Sk alone in her fragile state. Unable to find the right words tofort her, he simply stayed by her side, holding her in silent solidarity.


    Outside the room, Clint’s anger red as he summoned Kane.


    “Keep everything under wraps. Nyomi’s disappearance must remain hidden. If anyone leaks this, I’ll handle them personally.”


    Clint knew Sk couldn’t bear another blow in her current state, and the news of Nyomi’s disappearance—someone Sk held dearly—would be too much for her to handle. Though desperate to join the search for Harlee, Clint remained at home, prioritizing his family’s stability.


    “I’ll ensure it’s handled,” Kane replied firmly, his expression resolute.


    On a rugged cliff, Lindsay approached Harlee after finishing her meal, her demeanor calm yet foreboding.


    Despite everything, Harlee remained calm, herposure visibly irritating Lindsay. It frustrated her that Harlee was such a tough nut to crack.


    Suddenly, Harlee’s stomach growled audibly, breaking the tense silence.


    Hearing it, Lindsay smirked, barely hiding her excitement. She finally had an opening to torment Harlee further.
