Chapter 1117:

At this moment, Tonya walked over with a bowl of medicine. Overhearing Rhys’ recent comment, she immediately became angry.

“I put a lot of effort into making this for you, and you call it ineffective? Rhys, are you trying to provoke me?”

Tonya placed the ceramic bowl on the table and swung her hand toward Rhys’ head.

Rhys instinctively shielded his head with his arms, having endured several playful hits from Tonya lately. Since Harlee had instructed him to heed Tonya and keep the peace, he hadn’t fought back even when Tonya struck him.

Tonya had grown used to “disciplining” Rhys this way, knowing she wouldn’t dare do so once his full memories returned.

However, this time, the anticipated hit never came. Rhys looked up to see a slender hand stopping Tonya’s swing mid-air.

Grabbing Tonya’s hand, Harlee interjected, “Stop the nonsense. Rhys, take your medicine. Tonight, I’ll take you both to see an old friend.”

A flicker of displeasure passed through Rhys’ dark eyes.

“What old friend?”

Rhys lowered his gaze. Wasn’t he supposed to be the most significant person to Harlee, apart from Tonya, her best friend? Why was there an old friend?

Rhys stifled the irritation creeping onto his face before looking up, ensuring Harlee saw nothing amiss.

At the mention of this old friend, Harlee’s lips formed a faint smile.

“Someone I haven’t seen in years.”

A smile returned to Rhys’ eyes.

An old friend, and yet Harlee hadn’t seen them in years? They must hardly be anyone significant to her.

Feeling a wave of relief, Rhys downed the entire bowl of bitter medicine in one swift motion and exited the tea room.

“Let me know when we’re ready to leave.” Harlee observed his quick exit, slightly puzzled. She couldn’t shake the feeling that he had big mood swings.

Tonya nudged Harlee playfully, a gleam of amusement in her eyes.

“Harlee, you’ve achieved what you wanted.”

“What do you mean?”

Tonya rolled her eyes with exaggeration and flicked Harlee on the forehead, clearly frustrated.

“You can’t seriously tell me you didn’t notice that Rhys was upset, even jealous just now.”

“Why would he be upset?” Harlee blinked, still baffled.

Tonya nearly choked on her own breath. She gestured a thumbs up to Harlee and said sarcastically, “Classic you.” Then, Tonya left the room without another word.

Harlee stood there, confused. Why was everyone suddenly upset? Visiting Tiffany was all she wanted to do. It had been three years since she’d last had the chance to catch up with Tiffany.

Now that Tiffany was working on a film set with Liliana, Harlee finally saw an opportunity to reconnect.

“Autumn’s Garden” was an S+-rated drama currently under production, with the crew dedicating a full year to crafting the sets exactly as depicted in the source novel, each structure faithfully built to scale. Tiffany, clad in her elaborate costume, awaited her turn on set.
