Chapter 159:

Apart from you, I can’t completely trust anyone, not even Ritchie.”

If she continued to interact with Rhys, she might end up with him, but that would be more for a thrill rather than falling in love. To her, love was useless.

“Alright, I won’t mention it again.” Tonya seemed used to it.

“I’ll take care of the Moon Shadow Society’s business.

Be careful out there on your own.”

“Okay.”

After ending the call, Harlee savored the last bite of her lobster pasta and made her way back to the Tartarus Club. She intended to deploy her hacking skills to draw Matteo out.

Being exposed while the enemy hid in the shadows made it a challenging fight.

She was determined to force her enemy into the open and confront them directly.

The following day, Harlee returned to the Sanderson family’s home.

By chance, Lonnie and Skyla had just arrived back from their trip.

As soon as Harlee entered, Skyla embraced her warmly.

“Harlee, did you miss me while I was gone? I missed you terribly! And why are you back so early in the morning? Did you stay over at a friend’s place?”

Harlee gently distanced herself from Skyla.

“Yes, it got late, so I didn’t come home,” she answered casually, shifting the topic to their trip.

“Didn’t you two plan to visit several countries? What brought you back so early?”

“We didn’t want to miss the party,” Skyla said, thinking of a message from Elvin a few days earlier.

“By the way, Harlee, did the Juarez family cause you any trouble?”

Harlee shook her head.

“No, everything’s fine.”

“That’s a relief!” Skyla exhaled, her expression easing. She was well aware of the troubles the Juarez family could stir up and worried Harlee might get the wrong impression of them.

Fortunately, her daughter understood the situation.

Harlee hesitated for a moment, then chose to speak openly.

“Mom, the Juarez family is close to bankruptcy.”

Skyla paused, then, catching Harlee’s meaningful look, she understood what was left unsaid. Somehow, she felt a sense of relief.

“You’re remarkable,” Skyla said with a smile, affectionately tucking a lock of Harlee’s hair behind her ear.

“Do what you feel is right. I’ll support you no matter what.”

“Since marrying your father, I’ve had no care for the Juarez family,” Skyla continued, her voice steady and reassuring.

Harlee felt moved by her words.

Skyla brushed off the matter and playfully pinched Harlee’s cheek.

“As long as I have you and your brothers, I’m satisfied.” With a slight thrill in her voice, Skyla added, “Let’s go see the gifts. I picked up so many things on this trip!”

Harlee watched Skyla closely, sensing the unspoken warmth in her support.
