Chapter 1643:
With a smirk, Harlee pulled out her phone, snapping photos of the gangsters, and effortlessly kicked away a guy who attempted to interfere.
Ten minutes later, Harlee exited the restaurant, her expression serene. Her icy gaze flickered with a steely resolve as she texted Fleming about the incident before waiting by the roadside.
Behind her, the restaurant was a scene of chaos. The gangsters lay in a heap, bruised and grimacing in pain. Sebastian was sprawled across the shattered remnants of tables and chairs.
The restaurant owners, upon noticing the sudden one million in their account, then looked back at the groaning gangsters nearby. They gritted their teeth and decided to involve the police.
Shortly after, Rhys pulled up to the curb. He was about to exit the car when Harlee slid into the passenger seat.
âNot eating here?â Rhys chuckled, glancing up to help her with her seatbelt.
âI donât feel like eating now. Letâs go collect some debts,â Harlee responded nonchalantly.
Rhys raised an eyebrow, resecured his own seatbelt, and asked, âWhere are we headed?â
âThe base of the Black Wind Gang. They owe me ten million,â Harlee declared, her brow arching as she considered the tenfold upcharge. Only with enough pressure could she force the Black Wind Gang to reveal the mastermind behind all those malicious, slanderous posts against Elva.
Having sensed trouble the moment Harlee entered the car, Rhysâ concern deepened.

âWhat happened?â he inquired.
Harleeâs lips curled into a mischievous grin.
âJust looking out for Flemingâs future wife.â
A smile flickered across Rhysâ eyes as he squeezed Harleeâs hand, his face a mixture of amusement and affection. He never imagined heâd be out of favor for two days over Flemingâs future wife, and he couldnât even express his frustration without facing pressure from his mother-in-law.
Thus, Rhys found it only fitting to stir up a bit of trouble for Fleming.
The next day, in the auditorium of Uwhor University, Elva slumped listlessly on the table. It was the final day of the lecture series and Harleeâs last day at Uwhor University.
âHarlee, is there really no chance you could transfer to Uwhor University?â Elva asked wistfully.
âEver since I met you, my luck has been incredible. The rumors online vanished mysteriously. Even those senior students who always mocked me apologized today and offered to help me with my experiments. Itâs like theyâve all changed overnight.â
As Elva spoke, her excitement grew, but the thought of Harlee no longer accompanying her at school starting tomorrow caused her mood to plummet.
âIf you stop showing up by my side, my good luck will probably leave.â
Harlee turned to Elva, a comforting smile forming as she responded in her calm, clear voice, âWhy the long face? We may not hang around the school like we used to anymore, but we can still see each other often. Iâm not leaving Uwhor anytime soon.â
Harleeâs smile held a mysterious edge, hinting at mischievousness. Just last night, she had made the Black Wind Gang fork out ten million, and this morning, Elvaâs classmates hastened to apologize to her, suggesting the instigator of the rumors was among them.
âReally?â Elva perked up instantly.
âThen Iâll move out of the dormitory tomorrow to make it easier for us to meet.â
âOkay,â Harlee replied, her smile warm and her eyes tender.
After classes, Harlee and Elva planned to go shopping, but as they exited the university gates, Celine blocked their path, her high heels clicking on the pavement, a smile gracing her lips.
