Chapter 113:
Harleeâs final statement was aimed at Etta.
Fletcherâs foolish actions were closely linked to Ettaâs manipulations. She resolved that once she earned enough to pay Rhys back, she would give Etta a âhuge giftâ!
âHarlee!â Fletcher clenched his teeth.
âFletcher,â Etta said, clinging to his hand, her voice dripping with sweetness and sorrow.
âIâm sorry. Itâs my fault. You wouldnât have been reprimanded by Harlee if it hadnât been for me. If she decides to report this, Iâm fearâ¦â
âFear what?â Fletcher glowered in the direction Harlee had gone, his hands balled into fists so tight that they nearly drew blood.
âLet her report it. Iâm curious to see what scenes sheâs able to make.â
âDoes she really think she can do as she pleases just because sheâs back with the Sanderson family? Impossible! Above all else, the Sanderson family prides itself on proper conduct!â
âHarlee is indeed far too impulsive. I could tolerate her temperament, but if she behaves like that in public, sheâs bound to be dealt with harshly.
Fletcher, youâre correct to guide her.â
Fletcher glanced at the seemingly obedient Etta. Why couldnât the well-mannered and sensible Etta be his actual sister?
âEtta, youâre too soft-hearted and susceptible to bullying.
But donât worry. Iâll look after you. If you ever feel aggrieved, just let me know.â
Etta burst into tears immediately.
âFletcher⦠Well, I donât want to handle pythons as per Harleeâs previous requests. Iâm frightened.â

âWhy should you have to? Let Harlee handle them herself!â
After leaving the Sanderson family residence, Harlee drove to the Tartarus Club. On the surface, the Tartarus Club appeared to be just another club, but it actually served as a black market, accessible only to a select few.
To handle Matteoâs request, Harlee had scheduled a meeting with Ritchie here tonight.
As Harlee entered, a wave of cool air washed away the frustration caused by Fletcher. She walked through the large, pristine lobby toward the reception desk.
âWhereâs the private room reserved by Ritchie?â she asked.
The receptionist, maintaining a professional smile, replied respectfully, âMiss Sanderson, correct? Please follow me.â
Harlee nodded and followed.
They passed through the brightly lit, spacious lobby and came to a small door. The receptionist pressed a button and pushed it open, revealing a nightmarish scene crowded with bizarre figures.
âMiss Sanderson, Iâll leave you here.
A staff member from inside will escort you to the private room,â the receptionist said as someone approached.
The new person, named Jonah Haywood, who had only one eye visible, immediately recognized Harlee. She possessed one of the worldâs five exclusive black cards.
His attitude quickly became respectful.
âMiss Sanderson, Mr. .
