Chapter 940:

Harlee cast her eyes downward, hiding her sense of isolation with a composed exterior as she approached the suite and gently pushed the door open.

Inside, Margo sat uneasily. It had been years since their last encounter, and she was puzzled by Harlee’s sudden outreach.

Margo had barely sat down when she heard the door open, and Harlee nonchalantly took a seat beside her.

“Long time no see.”

Margo, taken aback, thought to herself that she had hoped never to see Harlee again. She attempted to mask her discomfort with a polite smile, saying, “Quick…”

“Cameo, it’s been a while. Why come to Gruinia all of a sudden without a heads-up? I could have made arrangements.” Margo shivered slightly.

Harlee was as terrifying as ever!

Harlee raised her chin slightly and said, “I hear you’ve been moving up in the world.”

Margo caught the implied significance in Harlee’s remark and responded promptly, “If there’s anything I can do to assist, I will give it my all!”

Margo knew too well Harlee’s formidable nature and was prepared to set aside her ego if necessary.

Harlee narrowed her eyes.

“Can’t I just catch up with an old friend?”

“Absolutely!” Margo replied without a second thought.

“Having you as a friend is a rare privilege…”

Harlee interjected, showing no interest in politeness, “I’m not here for compliments, and you don’t need to flatter me. Technically, you hold a higher status than I do now.”

Margo said nothing, though internally, she acknowledged that Harlee had the power to topple her from her elevated position.

Margo vividly remembered an incident where Harlee had ruthlessly cut out her ex-boyfriend’s tongue for speaking out of turn.

His fate was a stark reminder of Harlee’s ruthlessness. That scene was unforgettable to Margo.

Harlee’s eyes narrowed, her lips curling into a cold smile. She doubted someone in Margo’s position would still fear her methods. She didn’t consider herself particularly fearsome.

Under Harlee’s intense scrutiny, Margo felt like prey trapped in the gaze of a predator. She shifted uneasily and begged, “Please, don’t tease me. I wouldn’t have reached my position without your support…”

Margo’s words were accurate.

Harlee’s behind-the-scenes support had played a major role in her rise to power. This was a truth she had only recently discovered from a particular man.

Harlee said slowly, “I’ve heard you and Anika are at odds, with her making significant moves in Gruinia’s drug market?”

Margo was taken aback by the playfulness in Harlee’s tone. Was Harlee here to confront her or merely to gossip? However, she soon realized Harlee wouldn’t bring up someone like Anika without a specific purpose in mind.

“Are you interested in Anika’s affairs?” Margo asked.

“Somewhat,” Harlee answered casually.
