Chapter 311:
âSo, do you think theyâre a couple?â
âSheâs so stunning, a perfect match for the man. Perhaps they are an item.â
Just as the observant woman was about to respond, Fritz returned and sat across from Harlee with a faint smile.
âIâve ordered some local delicacies. They might be new to you, but if you prefer, I can take you to a Mogluylian restaurant later.â
The observant woman hesitated and said, âUh, maybe not.â The others sighed, but the observant woman seemed unbothered. She had initially been scheduled to host the closing event of the public jadeite bid.
However, due to Benedictâs untimely demise, the event had been put on hold, prompting her to explore the country.
With her years of mingling in high society circles, the observant woman could tell Rhys and Harlee were far from ordinary people. Their elegance was evident, and their aura was extraordinary.
Though the speakers had been talking in hushed tones, both Rhys and Harlee, with their sharp hearing, heard every word clearly.
Harlee listened with detachment, unaffected by the speculation about whether she and Rhys were a couple. Rhys, however, teased, âIt seems this place might not be right for you.â Harlee had drawn a lot of attention.
Harlee managed a faint smile.
âRight back at you.â

Fritz, not catching the surrounding speculation, was baffled by Rhys and Harleeâs conversation.
Catching Fritzâs bewildered look, Rhys and Harlee exchanged a glance filled with mutual understanding.
Before they realized it, a touch of warmth had settled in the air. Rhys failed to notice that his and Harleeâs hearts were slowly drawing closer.
Meanwhile, Liam and Averie arrived at the George family residence to see Adamson. They gathered in the living room. Liam and Averie had just made themselves comfortable on the couch, and the coffee was yet to be served when Collin descended the stairs.
âLiam, Averie.â Collin greeted them warmly, his face calm as if Harleeâs previous kick to his crotch hadnât left him with overwhelming pain.
He considered Liam and Averie his future in-laws.
Liam greeted him cheerfully.
âAh, Collin, perfect timing. We were about to discuss Harlee with your father. You might want to stay and listen.â
Collinâs expression immediately soured.
He hadnât forgotten the beating Harlee had given him a few days ago.
Adamsonâs brow furrowed deeply.
âLiam, honestly, I couldnât understand why Harlee refused to look out for the Gill family, who had raised her for over a decade. Was it too much to ask?â
