Chapter 1114:
Harlee speculated about how much Liliana might have changed and whether she still harbored revengeful intentions.
Harlee doubted that someone like Liliana, now in a position of power, would let go of any grudge she held.
âIsnât there an International Charity Auction scheduled soon in Baythorn?â Harlee asked.
âYes, itâs an initiative by both the Juarez and Happer families, drawing participation from influential global families,â Robbie confirmed.
Robbie paused before continuing, âThough itâs officially their event, itâs evident that Waylon is the one pulling the strings.
He likely has deeper plans for this event.â
âReally? A new game, then?â Harlee asked, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.
âLetâs see if the Salazar familyâs heir can hold his own. If not, we might just assist Ewing Salazar in choosing a more suitable heir.â
Robbieâs face brightened.
âThatâs exactly what I was thinking! Iâve been eager to send Ewing a particular âgift.'â
Harlee laughed softly.
âI have crafted some new jewelry designs recently.
Have Brice present them at the auction.â
Robbie caught on quickly.
Harlee intended to cause a stir with the jewelry.

âUnderstood!â Robbie chuckled, thrilled by the prospect. This plan would not only disrupt the event but also provide a new distraction for Ritchie, better than him sulking in a hospital.
âSpeaking of Ritchieâ¦â Robbie began.
âIâm ahead of you,â Harlee said.
âDonât worry. Iâll guide Ritchie to a new venture.
He is destined for more than just hospital corridors.â
Robbie swallowed hard, his eyes glistening.
He had always recognized Harleeâs commitment to her team, but her reaffirmation warmed him deeply.
âThank you for establishing the Shadow Moon Society,â Robbie said sincerely. Without Harlee and the Shadow Moon Society, he couldnât even imagine where he would beâlost, forgotten, with no direction.
Harlee said nothing, simply rising to her feet and offering a reassuring pat on his shoulder as she exited the study. Upon returning to Rhysâ bedroom, Harlee found him clutching a bag of tomato-flavored chips.
His expression was anything but embarrassed, bordering on defiant.
âThe medicine always stirs up my appetite. Iâm hungry,â he said calmly.
Harlee remembered he had just indulged in a late-night snack before his medication. Instead of pointing this out, she smiled warmly and took a seat beside him.
âSeems like youâre feeling a bit lost, arenât you? If youâre up for it, I can share a story or two.â
Rhys gave her a long look before nodding.
