Chapter 1451:

“Why not?” Harlee responded with a slight smirk. She had been laying low at the Sanderson family estate, focusing on her postpartum recovery. It was time to reengage.

“If Benjamin is seeking his own end, we might as well oblige him,” Harlee said calmly as if discussing something ordinary.

“As for his ties to Nola, don’t worry. If they truly are collaborating, eliminating him will surely draw her out. However…”

Harlee’s eyes gleamed with fierce determination as she chuckled coldly.

“Nola isn’t as formidable as you think!”

She spoke with such assurance because she was aware of the true orchestrator behind the slum evacuations. Having vowed to keep that person’s secret, she refrained from disclosing more to Robbie and the rest.

Cillian caught on to Harlee’s implication. It didn’t matter whether Benjamin was allied with Nola—Harlee was ready to act.

Having stood by Harlee’s side for years, Robbie and Patrick were well-acquainted with her decisiveness. Even without Thiago’s prompt, they anticipated that Harlee would opt to eliminate Benjamin promptly.

In Harlee’s world, enemies were divided into two categories—those she should wait some time before killing, and those she could eliminate right away. Benjamin was decidedly in the latter category.

“Understood, Harlee!” Thiago responded seriously.

“I’ll coordinate with the available agents from Twilight to head to Uwhor first thing tomorrow. We’ll make sure justice is served at the wedding!”

Harlee, exuding indifference, lounged back and flicked through her phone.

“No need to mobilize them. This time, just the five of us will handle it.”

“Harlee, shouldn’t you be…?”

Harlee cut Thiago off with a gesture.

“Yes, I should be focusing on my child, but a little outing won’t hurt.”

After a two-month break at home for maternity, she felt it was time to dive back into her business. Besides, Rhys seemed preoccupied, which meant she could slip away without him noticing.

Patrick scratched his nose, uncertain.

“Uh, Harlee, is Rhys okay with this?”

At times, Patrick found the dynamics between Harlee and Rhys perplexing. Whenever he thought Rhys might object to something, Harlee went ahead anyway. Conversely, when he assumed Harlee could act independently, she sought Rhys’ consent. Understanding their relationship was always a puzzle.

“Oh, Rhys won’t be around when we move,” Harlee said with conviction.

Before Patrick could fully grasp what Harlee meant, Rhys entered from outside.

“I have to travel to Claelia to deal with some business. Patrick and the rest will stay here to ensure your safety,” Rhys said to Harlee. Patrick’s eyes widened in surprise. No way! Harlee seemed to have anticipated this.

Harlee blinked her long lashes and shifted to a more relaxed position on the sofa. Her voice was soft and composed as she asked, “So, when are you leaving?”

Rhys approached and tenderly kissed her forehead, replying, “Now.”

Right now? Cillian was equally taken aback. Why the sudden departure? There must be a significant issue involving the Happer family for Rhys to leave so suddenly, considering Oaklee could usually manage things in Claelia on her own.

Robbie and Thiago remained silent, their thoughts racing. The level of understanding and secrecy between Rhys and Harlee was remarkable. It was best for them, as lesser figures, to remain quiet about these matters.
