Chapter 906:
Harlee added, âYouâll be in charge of the Gruinia project. You have three years to wrap it up, and I wonât be offering any help. Time for you to showcase your skills.â
Bartâs heart sank as he processed her words. The Gruinia project was notoriously difficult, and he had hoped it wouldnât fall to him.
Butâ¦
Bart began to wonder why he always seemed to end up with the worst women. Yet, he dared not complain, swallowing his frustration.
âUnderstood.â
Bart sighed. Life in Gruinia without assistance would be excruciating.
He found himself missing Rhys, who might not task him with such a challenging assignment.
Having finished her meal, Harlee pointed at the woman trapped in the crowd and said flatly to Bart, âDeal with your girlfriend.â
Brixton gleefully added, âBart, this woman said she wanted her boyfriend to teach Harlee a lessonâ¦â
Bart stiffened, quickly responding, âNo, Iâm not her boyfriend. We just slept together.â He didnât want any more trouble.
In the corner, Noel chuckled.
Having crossed paths with Bart several times in Uwhor, he hadnât expected someone as imposing as Bart to be so submissive toward Harlee.
Though Harlee was Rhysâ partner, Noel knew that Bart, with his temperament, would never bow down to someone he didnât respect, especially not just anyone. Noel realized the information he had gathered about Harlee was far from accurate.

With this thought, Noel sent a message to Rhys, briefly updating him on Bartâs situation before adding another note.
âIâm thinking of starting with psychological counseling and therapy for Harlee. In return, could you take care of my family business for me?â
Before his forced asset seizure, Noel had been a renowned psychologist in Uwhor, and he could immediately tell Harlee had psychological issues.
However, identifying the exact nature of her condition would require further treatment.
Later, after Noel made up his mind, he left.
Engaging Harlee with psychological therapy was no easy feat, so he had to first establish his credentials as a psychologist. Rhys received the message but didnât respond right away.
He replied only after taking a break to visit the restroom.
âPsychological therapy? Does Harlee have a mental condition?â
By that time, however, Noel had already fallen asleep, and Rhys stayed up all night, waiting for a reply. Meanwhile, Harlee remained focused on watching Bart deal with the situation.
Harlee had been under strain for far too long.
Ever since Rhysâ incident, she hadnât felt any relief, which was why she lingered here for amusement.
Regarding his relationship with the woman, Bart said, âThis woman and I only ended up in bed because she crawled in after I passed out drunk.
Anyone knows that when a man is truly intoxicated, heâs incapable of doing anything. We just slept under the blankets, nothing more!â The crowd sided with Bart, fully aware of the truth behind his words.
