Chapter 1062:

Even though Rhys had been around her for three years, she wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate him if necessary. If not for Anika, she might have already taken action.

Upon hearing this, Anika straightened up and asked, “Are you leaving for Uwhor now?”

“Yeah. Something doesn’t feel right, so I’m going back to check.” Eugenia frowned deeper.

Even though no bad news had come from their areas of influence, she had felt uneasy for days—like something major was about to happen.

“Once Rhys helps me deal with Kareem, I’ll bring him back with me,” Anika said.

“Hmm. We’ll see.” Eugenia’s voice was distant.

“Let’s hope everything goes as planned.” If they failed to take over Mogluylia, they could try again.

But if it harmed their other interests, that would be disastrous.

Anika leaned on Eugenia’s shoulder, speaking softly.

“You’re being too pessimistic. Things aren’t as bad as you think!”

“I hope you’re right…” Eugenia muttered.

Kareem unleashed a relentless campaign of vengeance, dismantling every one of Anika’s and Eugenia’s ventures within the country and severing all avenues that might allow them to escape back to Uwhor.

Eugenia had no choice but to remain behind.

Anika never imagined such a drastic shift could happen after a single night. Though their circumstances weren’t entirely bleak, they were far from ideal.

After receiving the call that confirmed her inability to leave for Uwhor, Eugenia sat motionless on the bed, gazing blankly at Anika, who fumbled through an apology. The air between them felt heavy, and the oppressive silence in the room only magnified it. Neither spoke for what felt like an eternity.

Finally, Anika attempted to break the suffocating silence, her voice low and tinged with regret.

“I’ll go look for Rhys right now.

He’ll figure something out!”

But the truth was, as soon as Eugenia learned she couldn’t return to Uwhor, Anika had secretly tried to reach out to Rhys. She’d made several attempts to call, only to find his line constantly busy.

Eugenia gave no reply, her face an unreadable mask as her eyes remained fixed on Anika. There was no reproach in her stare, yet it was enough to make Anika shift uncomfortably.

As a pampered daughter of a mafia, Anika was unaccustomed to being scrutinized so intensely.

Even after her family’s influence waned, her expertise in narcotics secured her authority, and few dared to challenge her in such a manner.

Anika’s uneasiness was rooted in remorse. If only she’d acted with more caution that day—if she had instructed the assassins to abduct the target instead of escalating matters—they might have retained control of the situation.

Anika hesitated, opening her mouth to say something, but Eugenia rose abruptly and disappeared into the bathroom.

Swallowing her words, Anika stayed silent. She considered waiting outside to attempt to soothe Eugenia’s fury, but the thought of Kareem’s unyielding retaliation left her uneasy.

Clenching her jaw, Anika yelled at the closed door, “Eugenia, I’m heading to find Rhys. Stay safe, and call me if you need anything.”

Not waiting for a response, Anika hurried out.
