Chapter 1083:
The woman studied the photo intently.
After a brief pause, she nodded with certainty.
âYes, I do. The house I own nearby was bought by him.â
The revelation that Rhys had purchased a nearby villa left Harlee momentarily bewildered.
Despite having asked the same question to countless people over the past few days, with every answer coming back negativeânobody recognizing Rhys or having seen himâthis womanâs confirmation took Harlee by surprise.
Harlee quickly regained her composure, clearing her thoughts in less than three seconds. She fixed her gaze on the middle-aged woman and asked, âCould you take me to him?â
Initially, Harlee had planned to ask for Rhysâ address, but realizing her unfamiliarity with the area, she decided it was wiser to be guided directly.
The middle-aged woman hesitated, her expression shifting to one of slight caution.
âWhat is your relationship with him?â
Without hesitation, Harlee answered, âIâm his fiancée.â Since learning the full story from Noel, Harlee had come to terms with her feelings for Rhys.
The woman studied Harlee for a moment before her face lit up with recognition.
âOh, yes! Iâve seen your picture at Mr. Greenâs house!â she exclaimed with a warm smile, reaching out to take Harleeâs hand.
âYou two lovebirds are quarreling, arenât you?â

The woman recalled her visit to Rhysâ house, which had left a lasting impression on her. The stark black, white, and gray decor stood out in her mind, with its minimalistic furnishings and an overwhelming number of photos featuring the same womanâHarlee. It was clear to her that only someone deeply in love would decorate their home in such a way.
As a result, she didnât feel the need to ask about the reasons for Rhys purchasing the villa.
Confidently, the woman patted her chest.
âNo worries, Iâll guide you to him.â
Harlee offered a faint smile but chose not to speak. Thirty minutes later, they arrived at a villa designed in the distinctive Asmain style.
âI need to take care of something, so Iâll leave you here. Just press the doorbell, and youâre good to go,â the middle-aged woman said.
âThank you,â Harlee replied.
The middle-aged woman waved cheerfully and even gave Harlee an encouraging thumbs-up.
Harlee couldnât help but return the womanâs warm gesture with a bright, engaging smile.
The woman paused for a moment, spellbound by Harleeâs smile, before whispering to herself, âItâs clear why that man is so smitten with her.
Even I, a married woman, feel a little stirredâ¦â
âWhat is it?â Harlee asked, sensing something unusual.
The woman laughed softly, brushing it off.
âNothing.
Head on in.â
Harlee, unaware of the womanâs thoughts, simply watched as she walked away. Once the woman was out of sight, Harlee turned her attention back to the entrance of the villa.
