Chapter 152:
To prove his abilities and for the chance to learn from Harlee how to master the game of bridge, Brixton resolved to bring down the Juarez family.
Following behind Harlee, Ritchie couldnât contain his curiosity any longer and asked, âWhat went on with Brice? And what did you say to Brixton? He seems completely transformed.
Brixton, after his chat with Harlee, was a changed man, contrary to what Ritchie had anticipated.â
Harlee teased, âI thought you wanted to isolate yourself from everything?â
âDonât pull my leg!â Ritchie laughed.
Seeing Ritchieâs light-hearted demeanor, Harlee finally felt at ease.
He had finally moved on.
Harlee briefly recounted her conversation with Brice.
âThe hardest part is that our enemy is hidden while we are exposed. If we donât uncover Matteoâs motives soon, I fearâ¦â She left her sentence hanging, trusting Ritchie would understand.
Ritchieâs brow furrowed, clearly showing his frustration.
He hadnât anticipated things would unfold in this way.
After pondering for a moment, his eyes filled with resolve.
âIâll head back to Uwhorâ¦â
Harlee interjected, âNo need. Iâll deal with Matteo. Just keep an eye on Brixton for me.â She repeated her earlier conversation with Brixton.
âIf he faces any difficulties, assist him discreetly. Remember, itâs crucial that the Juarez family ends up bankrupt.â She was determined to win her wager with Kareem.

Ritchie gave a resigned shrug.
âBack to playing the ânannyâ role.â This wasnât his first time secretly assisting someone.
However, the thought of gaining another subordinate after this gave him a small sense of comfort.
âHandle it well,â Harlee said.
âIf anything goes wrong, Iâll make you regret it.â
Worried Ritchie might stutter, Harlee brought up her wager with Kareem.
âThis is about whether I get to join the military. You need to keep a sharp eye on Brixtonâs progress!â This chance was something she had been waiting for years to grasp.
Ritchie perked up instantly.
Harlee had been setting her sights on the military for a long time. If anything went amiss due to him, heâd find himself in serious trouble.
He flinched. Just the thought was enough to scare him.
âHarlee, Iâm off to handle things.â
âHave it your way!â Ritchie tossed her a playful salute and turned to leave, already considering how to subtly influence things from the shadows.
His usual nonchalant demeanor was replaced by seriousness.
Meanwhile, after saying goodbye to Bruno, Brixton began to settle down.
Alone in his car, he mulled over Harleeâs words.
His goal was to make the Juarez family go down. While it seemed a nearly unachievable task for him, Harlee had nonetheless assigned the task to himâ¦
He longed to escape Lilianaâs harassment.
