Chapter 1179: Chapter 1179

Chapter 1179:

“Go rest. I’ll honor your wishes and won’t interfere anymore.”

“Alright.” Harlee nodded slightly before heading toward her room. Jonathan stood still for some time, lost in thought until Robbie patted him on the back. Swallowing hard, he gave a wry smile in return.

He had been too narrow-minded. If Harlee truly cared about such things, she wouldn’t be who she was today.

Harlee rose early the next morning.

First, she met with Tonya to confirm her thoughts and then drove off to meet Ritchie.

“Are you certain about this?” Harlee asked as she looked at the despondent Ritchie before her.

He had once been the brightest and most promising member of the Shadow Moon Society, but now…

Ritchie forced a bitter smile.

“Yeah, I might regret it later.

But if Tonya is happy, that’s all that matters.”

“And what if I told you that Tonya would only find happiness with you beside her?” Harlee asked, still holding onto a flicker of hope.

Ritchie’s eyes widened briefly before he chuckled at himself.

“No one is irreplaceable. She’ll find someone better and fall for them, someone who will love her dearly.”

Harlee knew Ritchie was trapped in his own worldview. Nothing she said could change his mind.

“I understand.” Rising from the couch, her expression grew colder as she added, “Since you won’t change your mind, pack your things and come with me.

As long as you’re alive, you’ll serve the Shadow Moon Society.”

“I can…”

“You can do anything!” Harlee cut him off, giving him no chance for refusal, as she signaled to Robbie, who stepped forward immediately.

Robbie said, “Don’t resist. You can follow your heart when it comes to love, but when it’s time to follow orders, you should carry them out, even if it means crawling to get it done.”

Ritchie rubbed his forehead.

“I never said I wouldn’t go. Just that I don’t have much to pack.” He knew Harlee was trying to pull him out of his slump. They still had each other.

“Then let’s go!” Harlee nodded.

Harlee opened her mouth to say more but instead took out her phone and sent a message to Tonya.

“He agreed. We’re on our way back.”

Tonya had chosen a later flight, mindful of any awkwardness Ritchie might feel if they were to meet.

Her reply came almost immediately.

“Got it.

Be careful. I’ll be on the next flight.”

Harlee wrote, “Alright.”
