Chapter 1060:

But now she understood it often arrived quietly, slipping in unnoticed.

“Mr. Green, why don’t you just name your request so I can fulfill it? That way, we can settle this, and you’ll never have to face me again.” Harlee wanted to settle all scores, to completely sever all the ties between them.

Rhys’ heart sank. Was she really going to cut him off completely? Was it because Anika had attacked her, and she assumed he hadn’t intervened? He had intervened, but he couldn’t tell her what he had done.

Rhys cleared his throat, masking his inner turmoil as he sat down at the edge of the bed.

“About Anika… I’m here to apologize for her actions. She…”

Rhys’ objective that day was simple: to make Harlee despise him enough to never want to see him again.

His well-planned strategy from the last three years was finally set in motion, but in truth, every step felt like a painful wound in his heart.

When Harlee heard his words, she almost laughed out loud.

An apology on Anika’s behalf? Had Anika not been so reckless that day, giving her the chance to crush Anika under her foot and break Anika’s arm, she might have been reduced to a test subject for the poisons Anika created. Yet now, after her close call of being subjected to a fate worse than death, all he had to offer was an apology on Anika’s behalf? It was absurd—utterly ridiculous.

Harlee looked into Rhys’ eyes, her expression icy as she interrupted him.

“Save your breath. I won’t accept an apology like that.

From now on, the best way you can make amends is by staying out of my sight forever!”

Rhys reached for her hand, but she dodged him.

All he could do was lower his voice.

“But didn’t you come out of it fine?” He knew these words would only push her further away, yet he had no choice but to push back his pain and utter them.

Harlee retorted, “Anika intended to poison me, right? Would you only consider it serious if I were actually poisoned?” Perhaps, that way, they were even.

For the sake of his grand plan to neutralize any threats posed to Harlee before his demise, Rhys acted as though he were angry.

“Miss Sanderson, don’t you think you’re going too far? Yes, Anika acted rashly, but it was out of jealousy.

Can’t you…”

Slap! A loud, red imprint appeared on his face.

Rhys instinctively touched his cheek, only for Harlee to strike him again, harder.

“Mr. Green, think of that as interest on your debt. Your apology is pointless. If you ever show up in front of me again, I’ll slap you again!”

Slap! Another strike hit his face.

“Your voice is unbearable,” Harlee said coldly.

“I suggest you be quiet and leave now. If you don’t, I might just pull out a gun and shoot you. Kindly show yourself out!”
