Chapter 301: Chapter 301

Chapter 301:

“I hate fraud and human trafficking, and I despise Benedict for orchestrating all of this. So, I drifted among men, hoping that one day I’d get my chance for revenge.

But I was naive. I wasn’t on Benedict’s level and couldn’t even get close to him.”

Then, I met my sister again.

Guess where? Ha-ha, in my fiancé’s bed! Hard to believe, isn’t it? Even worse, she always knew about me and my relationship with Aaron. She claimed they were truly in love and asked me to let go, but I refused! If they wouldn’t let me live in peace, I wouldn’t let them either! I knew that mysterious man’s power was unbeatable, so I deliberately pushed Aaron to raise the stakes.

Karina opened her eyes.

Her thoughts were scattered. She opened her mouth, struggling to form the critical question in her hoarse voice, “Why didn’t you kill me?”

Harlee raised her eyes to meet Aldrich’s.

Aldrich quickly understood and responded, “Because Harlee already knew everything you just mentioned.”

Karina looked confused. She believed only she knew the full story.

How could Harlee possibly be aware?

Harlee stood up, a slight smile playing on her lips.

“Otherwise, why do you think I didn’t react when you first cut flesh from Benedict’s body?”

Karina felt overpowered by Harlee’s commanding aura, her mind going blank.

Harlee was quite something.

“I…” After a long silence, Karina still couldn’t complete her thought.

Harlee’s smile remained subtle, yet her eyes stayed distant and cold.
