Chapter 1371:
That very night, Harlee called upon every ally and, through Kareemâs influence within the military, succeeded in convincing the authorities to cancel the detention orders for Lonnie and Skyla.
Following Lonnie and Skylaâs release, Kareem swiftly moved them to a safer location, and upon locating Flemingâs mentor, he ultimately secured them at the Shadow Moon Societyâs base hidden within the rainforest.
Harlee had masterminded these actions. She knew Nolaâs relentless nature too well. Nola would persist until her aims were met, and Harlee was convinced Nola had further plans. With this in mind, Harlee preemptively directed Kareem to set everything in place.
After a busy day, it was eleven oâclock when Harlee finally finished updating Kareem with the new plans and made sure every ally was on the same page.
While in the study, Harlee fervently worked at hacking into Nolaâs computer.
Suddenly, someone slammed the laptop shut.
Harlee looked up to find Rhys beside her, his face solemn as he reached out to lift her. âSweetheart, itâs time for bed.â

Harlee felt no fatigue but didnât resist his gesture. She had promised him to avoid late nights and to prioritize her health and that of their unborn child.
Freshly out of the study, Harlee unintentionally shifted her gaze to the large window of the room. She tapped Rhysâ shoulder and requested softly, âIâd like to look outside.â
With slight reluctance, Rhys moved toward the window with her.
The surroundings of Remson Manor were unsettlingly quiet. Even though there were lights on, shadows persisted in areas that remained difficult to see clearly. It seemed as if nothing was amiss and the night would pass without incident.
Harlee was unsure when Nola would act or what her tactics would be. âHave you had Patrick step up our security measures?â Harlee inquired softly, looking out the window.
Doubting Tania, Harlee had assigned Jianna the critical task of ensuring Tania didnât disrupt their plans covertly, though Patrick was actually responsible for increasing the patrols.
Just after she posed the question, Rhysâ soothing voice responded, âDonât fret. Iâve taken care of it all. Now, you should try to get some sleep.â
âOkay, letâs rest.â
Drawing the curtains closed, Harlee nestled closer into Rhysâ shoulder, letting him carry her toward the bedroom for a well-deserved rest. When morning came, they would be ready to face the next challenge, with Harlee resolved to avoid any errors this time around.
The next morning, Harlee prepared herself, putting on her mask to head down to the glass room and plan further actions with Jianna.
Rhys, cautious as ever, added an extra layer to her mask, saying, âWait. Since we donât know if Tania might be carrying something contagious, this is just an extra precaution!â
Feeling a tad powerless but not protesting, Harlee appreciated his concernâif it brought him peace, it was a small adjustment to make.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated with a new notification. It was a message from Jianna. âHarlee, something new has come up. Iâll brief you later!â Harleeâs eyebrows knitted together as she read the message. She quickly replied, and a flurry of messages followed.
âTania and I have been on patrol all night. We just stopped to rest, and assuming I was asleep, Tania has sneaked out. I suspect sheâs off to see Nola. Harlee, Iâm not sure if Tania might find out about these texts. Iâll switch to the secret code of the Shadow Moon Society for future messages.â
âJiannaâs usually not this forward. It looks like Tania is hiding more than we initially thought,â Harlee said as she slowly peeled off her mask, feeling somewhat vulnerable.
Once Harlee made this comment, she quickly sent Jianna a message to âStay safe,â and then immediately dispatched a new order to Thiago using the Shadow Moon Societyâs secure code, instructing him to covertly protect Jianna. Her concern was that Jianna might be compromised.
Since the incident involving Tonya, Harlee had taken extra precautions to ensure her plans were foolproof, leaving no chance for mishaps.
