Chapter 818:

Before the woman could finish, Harlee struck Liam again with equal ferocity.

Dazed from the impact, Liam turned to the woman, slapping her twice in quick succession.

“Shut your mouth, idiot!”

Stunned, the woman clutched her reddened cheek, staring at Liam with hurt and disbelief.

He, however, didn’t spare her a second glance.

Desperation evident, Liam turned to Harlee.

“Harlee… Miss Sanderson, I beg you, forgive me this time. I’ll do whatever you ask.”

Though clueless about his exact offense, Liam knew further resistance would only worsen his predicament.

Harlee’s words were like ice.

“Leave Baythorn and never show your face to me again.”

Panic overriding his pride, Liam responded without hesitation, “Yes, I’ll leave! I’m going right now…” And with that, he staggered out of the café, barely holding himself together.

Liam’s sudden display of cowardice caught everyone off guard, leaving the crowd in stunned silence.

Before anyone could fully process what had happened, Liam had already slipped out of the café, followed by Harlee’s graceful exit.

It was as though the main characters had vanished from a dream.

Thankfully, the internet provided an outlet for the public’s emotions, and Harlee’s name dominated the trending topics all day.

Reactions were mixed—some criticized Harlee, while others praised her boldness.

This time, however, no comments, not even the negative ones, were deleted.

This was exactly what Harlee had hoped for.

Shortly after Harlee left the café, Tonya’s call came through.

“So, what’s your plan now?”

At first, Tonya had assumed that Harlee was just trying to teach Liam a lesson.

But when she saw Harlee effortlessly dislocating Liam’s hand without saying a word, she realized it wasn’t about giving a lesson at all.

Harlee was setting a trap.

Harlee was upfront about her motives, explaining the suspicious activities linked to Hale that Patrick had uncovered.

“I was looking for a way to make a big splash, and there Liam was, presenting me with the perfect opportunity.”

Knowing that Hale had entered the city, Harlee had been devising plans to draw him out.

No plan had seemed feasible until she spotted Liam and the conveniently placed live-streaming phone nearby.

Driving Liam out was meant to be a spectacle for everyone, especially for Hale, who, based on his personality, would likely use Liam’s grudge to orchestrate some underhanded schemes.

Once Hale sent someone to find Liam, aiming to turn him against her, Harlee would spring her trap.

Tonya quickly caught on and laughed.

“Understood. I’ll trace the suspicious IP immediately.”
