Chapter 304: Chapter 304

Chapter 304:

“Let’s go.” She no longer had any interest in observing Karina’s performance.

Once Harlee left, Rhys, alongside Patrick, also left the casino. They arrived at the hotel and boarded the same elevator.

“What a coincidence,” Fritz said with a foolish grin, lifting his hand slightly, but no one replied.

He awkwardly placed his hand behind his head, acting as though nothing had occurred.

Fritz exited the elevator on the third floor with Aldrich. The elevator continued to the fifth floor.

Patrick observed Harlee entering the luxurious suite next door, bit his lip, and, noticing Rhys’s lack of surprise, decided to keep his thoughts to himself. It seemed Rhys was already aware.

Any further comment would likely be irritating.

Rhys maintained an expressionless face, though internally, he was profoundly astonished. It seemed like fate.

Reaching her hotel room, Harlee swung the door open and nonchalantly sprawled out on the sofa. Rhys and she were staying at the same hotel, on the same floor? It seemed destiny enjoyed weaving their paths together in the most peculiar ways.

Alas, it seemed Rhys was a commitment-phobe, all talk of love but shunning the notion of marriage. She figured that if they became an item, their relationship was destined to be fraught with heartache.

The next morning, Kareem’s call came as Harlee had expected.

Kareem’s tone was heavy with exhaustion, the kind that hinted at a sleepless night.

“How did you manage to kill Benedict?” he asked directly.

Kareem had been eager to contact Harlee after receiving crucial information from an undercover agent late last night, but he had restrained himself, choosing not to disturb her rest.

After sorting through urgent military affairs that morning, he finally seized a moment to call her.

Rumors within the Shakica clan suggested a simple act of revenge, yet Kareem sensed Harlee’s involvement ran deeper.

However, the specifics eluded him.

“With the aid of a woman,” Harlee replied, sitting up slowly in bed and rubbing her eyes, still clouded with sleep.

“Is it all over the news?”

“Check for yourself,” Kareem said.

Harlee reached for the remote beside her, powered on the television, and flipped to the local news channel. The anchor was delivering the news with palpable urgency.

“This morning, Benedict Shakica, the leader of the notorious Shakica family, was discovered deceased in his home.

His body grotesquely marred, showing signs of torture endured while he was still alive.

Following Benedict’s untimely demise, the local community was in uproar.
