?Chapter 988:


    The bar fell silent, everyone watching the sudden outburst. The alcohol stung her eyes, making it difficult for Baylee to open them. She reached out, and Harry quickly handed her a clean, damp towel.


    Baylee wiped her eyes and opened them, finding the person in front of her, shouting like a madwoman, was Aphrodite. Aphrodite’s expression was fierce, almost as if using Baylee of an unforgivable act.


    Harry stayed quiet but swiftly poured another drink and ced it within Baylee’s reach.


    Baylee lifted the wine ss and poured it directly onto Aphrodite’s face. This time, the impact was stronger and more painful. To assist Baylee in getting back at Aphrodite, Harry had chosen arger ss.


    “Baylee, how dare you!” Aphrodite screamed.


    Baylee retorted, “Consider it payback. Aphrodite, if you don’t leave this minute, I’ll make sure you regret it.”


    “You’re driving Marvin to make things difficult for the Rollins family out of personal spite. Baylee, I’ll see how you manage with the Hill family in the future.”


    “Crazy.”


    Baylee didn’t grasp Aphrodite’s words and promptly had security escort her out. Aware of Baylee and Marvin’s argument, Harry chose to weigh in.


    “Miss Curtis, Marvin severed all ties with the Rollins familyst night. I also heard that he started targeting members of the Hill family who were on good terms with the Rollins.”


    Baylee looked up, stunned.


    The Hill family, Quincy’s maternal side, had a long-standing friendship with the Rollins family, one that hadsted nearly thirty years, especially since Shelton favored Quincy as his grandson. Marvin had previously targeted the Rollins family, but those attempts were minor. This time, Marvin nearly struck at the heart of the Rollins family.


    After changing in private, Baylee emerged and perused the information that Harry had gathered. She nced at him.


    “When did you start caring so much about the Hill family?” she asked.


    Stay tuned for more gαlnσν??s.c○m


    Harry smiled awkwardly. “I thought Marvin might be your future husband.” Marvin had presented Baylee to their social circle as the future Mrs. Hill, a fact known to everyone in the circle.


    Baylee turned her gaze away and set the documents aside, saying in a t tone, “Well, you got it all wrong.”


    It wasn’t difficult to figure out why Marvin suddenly targeted the Rollins family. It probably stemmed from her visit to the Hills’ housest night, where Quincy and Shelton conspired against Marvin.


    But the real issuey in the deception between Baylee and Marvin from the start. Quincy and the Hill family were merely external influences.


    Seeing Harry stay silent, Baylee lifted her eyes. “I thought you were going to talk me into something.”


    “Talk you into what?”


    Baylee continued, “Maybe persuade me to patch things up with Marvin? You should have guessed that Marvin’s actions against the Rollins family arergely due to me.”


    “How Marvin deals with the Rollins and Hill families is his concern. But you and he? That’s a different story.” Harry, always loyal and practical, pointed out, “You’re my boss, not Marvin.”


    Ellie refrained from probing into Baylee’s situation to avoid putting pressure on her. That was their unspoken agreement. When they needed to talk, they would.
