Chapter 1637:

“Thiago, how can you treat me this way? You jerk! I thought there was something special between us. What, are you worried your new girlfriend might get the wrong idea?” she accused.

Hearing her call him a “jerk” and mention a “new girlfriend,” Thiago’s expression darkened further. His eyes narrowed, his demeanor turning intimidating.

“Enough already! Just stop causing a scene!”

Celine’s face hardened. How could Thiago dismiss her so coldly? Even if he didn’t return her feelings, he didn’t need to humiliate her like this for the sake of her brother! It must be because of Harlee!

Celine’s resentful gaze shifted to Harlee. Yes, it had to be because of her. Without this woman, Thiago would never have treated her so harshly. Who was this woman, really? Celine wished Nola would just get rid of her.

Harlee observed Celine’s tantrum with a cool detachment, maintaining her silence throughout the ordeal.

Unable to withstand the curious stares of onlookers and Thiago’s dismissive attitude, Celine stomped her foot in frustration and stormed out of the restaurant. Watching her leave, Harlee raised an eyebrow and looked at Thiago with a half-smile.

“When did you two meet?”

“She’s Coen’s sister, and Coen is a friend of mine,” Thiago replied, visibly troubled.

If not for Coen, Thiago would have dealt with Celine straightforwardly long ago. He wouldn’t have allowed such a nuisance to persist. After all, he wasn’t a saint who refrained from confronting women when necessary.

Harlee curled her lips, looked up, and very seriously said to Thiago, “You should get a girlfriend.”

She then sent the next task to Thiago via text, stood up, and patted him on the shoulder.

“As soon as Alina’s training is over, you and she will head immediately to Idoron. Our second information network will be set up there.”

“Understood!” Thiago replied, already having a plan in mind since Harlee had mentioned this before.

“As for now…”

Harlee raised her delicate eyebrows, not finishing her sentence. Yet, Thiago understood she was silently urging him to find a girlfriend. Thiago looked at Harlee, his lips twitching.

“Harlee…”

Harlee interrupted him, her words drawn out in a teasing tone.

“I am taking my leave. Rhys has already booked a place for our date.”

She left the restaurant with light steps, leaving behind a bewildered Thiago who slightly opened his mouth, watching Harlee’s retreating figure. His sharply defined face showed frustration as he remained seated. His gaze was deep. It was obvious that Harlee wanted him to get rid of Celine, this potential trouble, as soon as possible. But if he could handle it, he would have already… It seemed he had to have a nice talk with Coen.

At the Happer Family Manor, Nola, dressed in home clothes, saw Celine approaching with a flustered expression. A trace of disgust flashed in Nola’s eyes but disappeared instantly.

Celine looked at Nola with a troubled expression.

“Nola, Thiago’s already with someone else. Although I don’t want to admit it, that woman is indeed very good-looking. Do you think I still have a chance?”

Nola blinked. A woman with Thiago? Who else would be with someone as dull as Thiago, except…

Nola, initially standing still, immediately walked toward Celine, took her hand, and sat her down on the sofa.

“What’s going on?” she asked, feigning concern.

Celine immediately threw herself onto Nola and began to cry aggrievedly, completely unaware of the fleeting disgust in Nola’s eyes earlier.
