Chapter 1373:

“You must be kidding me!” Desmond protested. “Do you really see me as fit to handle everything? I’m afraid one mistake from me could ruin everything for us.”

His confidence paled in comparison to Harlee’s commanding presence and bravery.

“Harlee…” Seeing Harlee had been quietly sipping her milk, Desmond hesitated before asking, “Harlee, you’re not serious, are you?”

Harlee set her glass down on the table and met his eyes with a calm, reassuring look. “Relax. Just take charge of the situation. If there are any issues, I’ll handle them.”

“But…” Desmond paused, the weight of responsibility heavy on his shoulders.

“There are no buts here,” Harlee responded decisively. “Trust yourself. You won’t make any mistakes. I care about their safety more than you can fathom.”

Harlee’s reassurance struck a deep chord with Desmond. It brought back memories of the terrifying battle two years ago when Tonya and the others faced the danger head-on. At that time, he was instructed to stay behind in the villa. Tonya and the others’ tragic ends had haunted him for months as regrets of not joining them in the fierce fight consumed him. If not for Harlee starting the T&H Island, he might have been overwhelmed by self-blame and depression.

“Yes!” Desmond exclaimed, taking the task with utmost seriousness. Harlee’s encouragement served as powerful motivation for him.

After setting the initial plans in motion, Harlee and Rhys made their way back to the Greens’ estate.

A noticeable tension hung in the air at the Green family home, where servants had stopped their tasks and gathered in the grand hall, waiting for further instructions.

Hand in hand, Harlee and Rhys entered and saw Belinda seated on the sofa, her expression fraught with worry, while Jose stood beside her, his demeanor stern.

Nathaniel appeared to be the only one at ease, seemingly unaffected by the worries troubling everyone else.

As Harlee and Rhys walked in, the room lit up with hope, everyone’s faces turning toward them expectantly.

“Harlee, it’s a relief to see you again. Is everything okay? How are your parents?” Belinda moved quickly toward Harlee, grasping her hand. “And about that urgent call you made, telling us to watch out—can you share more about what’s going on?”

Nathaniel and Jose, both clearly eager for news, leaned in closer to listen. Harlee, seated next to Belinda on the couch, maintained a calm demeanor and explained softly, “The Happer family in Baythorn might pose a threat to you, so I’ve arranged extra security just in case.”

“The Happer family from Baythorn?” Belinda’s face showed confusion. The Happer family and the Green family rarely interacted. Why would the Happer family suddenly target their family?

“The details are quite complicated. I’ll explain more once things are more stable.” With a comforting pat on Belinda’s hand, Harlee offered reassurance and introduced someone new. “Belinda, meet Alina. She’s here to help take care of you.”

“Oh? Okay, alright!” Belinda gasped, her nerves rattled by the unfolding events.

Jose had been listening intently from the sidelines. Feeling the urgency, he got up and quickly went to coordinate the necessary steps with the butler. With concerns that Nola might next focus on the Green family after missing Lonnie and Skyla, Harlee resolved to remain at the Green family’s residence for a few days. Before reaching here, she and Rhys had decided he would handle all the explanations, so after easing Belinda’s worries, she retreated to their room alone.
