Chapter 1061:

Her tone was polite, but her demeanor was anything but. Rhys sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at the woman who looked as though she wanted to kill him on the spot, his head throbbing with frustration. This might be his last chance to see her—could she at least let him speak? Forget it. The past few days they’d spent together had already been the greatest gift he could ask for.

He shouldn’t expect more.

With a final, lingering glance at her, Rhys stood, nodded slightly, and walked out of the room without looking back.

Kareem was relentless, and within a single day, he obliterated many of Anika’s and Eugenia’s key bases in Mogluylia.

Eugenia snapped, her impatience evident.

“Anika, do you realize your foolishness has ruined everything? I’m begging you, stop obsessing over Rhys. There are plenty of other men out there.

He doesn’t care for you. Just find someone better!”

The argument between Eugenia and Anika had been going on for almost an hour in the villa, late into the dark, windy night. The worst part was Anika still didn’t see her own fault and continued to talk back.

Eugenia was frustrated, feeling like knocking some sense into Anika’s mind. Seriously, who had come up with the disastrous plan of targeting Harlee in the hospital, only to mess things up, leading to their whole operation falling apart? Their failed attempt to kidnap Harlee had been met with Kareem’s wrath, and his efforts in seeking ruthless revenge were overwhelming them. If it weren’t for their extensive resources, Kareem’s actions would have completely destroyed them by now.

When Anika tried to defend herself once more, Eugenia sighed, rubbing her temples.

“Anika, I understand you love Rhys, but love isn’t everything. I can’t fathom why you’ve changed so much. Where is the old you, the one who toyed with men’s feelings as you pleased? Could you stop making things difficult for Harlee and leave her alone? We can’t win her over right now.”

“Eugenia, I’m still the same as before!” Anika replied, trying to defend herself.

“The only reason I targeted Harlee was because I didn’t want to be trampled on.”

Not wanting her friend to misunderstand, Anika added, “You told me not to go after Harlee, and I haven’t done anything since that day. It’s Kareem who’s gone crazy and won’t leave me alone!”

“Fine,” Eugenia muttered, rubbing her forehead.

“I’m done arguing.”

Anika grabbed Eugenia’s hand, looking earnest.

“Don’t worry. I’ll ask Rhys for help.

He has connections in Mogluylia.”

“Ha, let’s hope he doesn’t make things worse for us!” Eugenia propped her head on her hand, her eyes hard.

“If you’re set on asking him for help, fine, but if he sides with them, don’t let it wreck everything we’ve worked for.”

“He won’t.” Anika had complete trust in Rhys. If he didn’t care about her, he wouldn’t have slept with her, and he wouldn’t have been so tender every time.

“Let’s hope you’re right,” Eugenia said coldly.

“When you go to him, I’ll have people follow you. If something goes wrong, they’ll bring you straight back to Uwhor.” Eugenia was calculating and ruthless.
