Chapter 1113:
âDonât worry. Those fools will be restless. Theyâll reach out to Matteo for a deal before long,â Harlee said with composure.
She never considered those individuals genuine threats. Rather, they were mere instruments in her quest for revenge against Matteo.
Her goal was clear: she wanted Matteo to deeply regret the harm he had caused her people, to crush him thoroughlyâphysically, emotionally, and mentallyâand to burden him with a lifetime of remorse for his wrongdoings.
The journey was lengthy, yet Harlee was patient.
After all, she had waited this long. She could afford to practice patience a little longer.
Her departed comrades would understand her need for meticulous planning.
âAlright, Iâll have people continue to monitor them,â Robbie responded.
âBy the way, thereâs been activity among the financial groups youâre interested in. Since the Green family and Sanderson family announced their decision to step down from the title of the four most influential families in the city, affecting the standing of the Green Group and Sanderson Group, new contenders have surfaced in Baythorn. Some are supported internationally, while others have ties to influential domestic figures.â He handed her a stack of reports.
âThese factions are likely competing to replace the Greens and Sandersons as part of the most influential families in the city. Notably, the Juarez and Happer families have gained prominence, particularly since the Green familyâs downfall.â
âI see,â Harlee murmured, flipping through the papers.
Her focus intensified when she spotted a familiar name. Liliana? Harlee hadnât anticipated their paths crossing again.
gⱯlnÏνð®ðsï¹ð¬ððº, the heart of fiction
After their divergent lives, this was an unexpected convergence.
Harlee tossed the documents on the table and tucked a stray hair behind her ear.
âTell me more about Liliana. Whoâs supporting her?â
âA familiar name?â Robbie asked, his tone reflecting his surprise.
Harlee seldom took an interest in individuals unless they posed a significant threat or held a personal connection.
âSheâs related to my motherâs side,â Harlee replied without hesitation.
âAnd?â Robbie asked, pressing further.
âWeâve been estranged for years.
Donât worry, thereâs no affection there,â Harlee said, a slight smile curling her lips.
âIâm merely curious about her current situation.â
Robbie nodded, relieved. The Juarez family posed the greatest threat to both the Greens and the Sandersons.
Robbie explained, âLiliana is supported by Waylon Salazar, the newly appointed head of the Salazar family in Rovania. Sheâs his mistress. The Juarez family is far more ruthless than the Happer family. Theyâve already resorted to some very underhanded tactics in business.â
Waylonâs mistress? Harlee pondered, her expression tightening with intrigue. Something seemed off. She recalled Lilianaâs marriage to Gregory, a notable figure in Baythorn, and their child.
How had Liliana become entangled with the Salazar family? It seemed that while she had been preoccupied with Rhysâ matters, the Juarez family had not been idle, advancing their influence considerably.
Intriguing.
