Chapter 227:

But when Adelina hissed, “Shameless woman,” Harlee stopped in her tracks, her eyes narrowing into a cold, mocking smile.

“Repeat that, and you’ll regret it.

Care to try me?”

The tales of Harlee’s merciless deeds had reached Adelina, causing her lips to tremble with apprehension. Weighing her options, she chose silence.

With a curt glance, Harlee turned and continued on her way, pulling her phone from her pocket just as it rang.

“This had better be good,” she said sharply.

“It’s about Rhys.

He’s digging into your past.” It was Ritchie on the line, revealing that Rhys had been snooping around, seeking information on Harlee.

“Shut it down. Let nothing get out.”

“I’m on it.

Don’t worry,” Ritchie assured her confidently.

“Oh, and remember Lindsay Morgan? She tried to have you killed. I accepted her task. What’s our next step?”

Harlee shrugged it off, her tone unbothered.

“Good.”

“Come on.

Can’t you throw a little praise my way for my efforts? You’re getting more detached every day.

Don’t you care at all?”

“Tonya’s coming over.”

Ritchie abruptly shifted gears, turning their conversation to more urgent matters.

“Just a heads-up, your recent actions have earned you three new enemies: Lindsay, Angela, and Adelina.”

A headache began to pulse at Harlee’s temples. These new enemies, all fond of Rhys and viewing her as a rival in love, were becoming an annoying source of drama.

Ritchie sighed in resignation.

“A bit of bad news: they’re all connected. My instincts tell me they’re likely plotting to join forces against you.”

Harlee sighed, exasperated.

“Damn it!”

“Don’t sigh just yet. There are bigger troubles ahead,” Ritchie quipped.

A shadow crossed Harlee’s face.

“If they interfere with my time in the military, you’ll be the one to answer for it.”

Harlee ended the call and beckoned Tonya closer.
