Her threat was unmistakable. If Kelley caused any more trouble, Oaklee wouldn’t hesitate to take drastic measures.

Bart’s expression hardened instantly. Without hesitation, he shoved Kelley aside and said coldly, “We’re done. Leave.”

Hearing this, Kelley’s face drained of color.

Done? After finally managing to snag someone as influential as Bart, she couldn’t afford to lose him now.

Tears streamed down Kelley’s cheeks as she grabbed Bart’s arm, her voice trembling.

“Bartley, I didn’t mean to upset Miss Swain. I just wanted to get along with her… Please don’t break up with me in a fit of anger. If Miss Swain doesn’t like me, I’ll stay far away from her. Just don’t leave me.”

However, Bart’s resolve didn’t waver. If a few tears could sway him, he wouldn’t have climbed to his current position.

His partners mattered to him, but no one was irreplaceable, especially if they provoked Oaklee.

Even Rhys wouldn’t cross Oaklee when she was angry.

Bart had no intention of gambling with his own safety.

Oaklee took another puff from her cigar, her tone dripping with disdain.

“Your girlfriend claimed Rhys’ girlfriend might have ulterior motives, and I should be cautious.

Bart, your girlfriend is really sweet, looking out for me!”

Oaklee’s biting sarcasm sent shivers down everyone’s spines. No one dared to lift their gaze, each pretending not to hear. It wasn’t just Oaklee they feared. Slandering Rhys’ girlfriend was practically begging for destruction.

Cold sweat broke out on Bart’s forehead. Kelley had dared to speak ill of Harlee? Harlee wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

Anyone bold enough to mess with her would regret it.

Without hesitation, Bart raised his hand and struck Kelley across the face, his full strength behind the blow. Kelley hadn’t expected her attempt to curry favor to backfire so catastrophically.

“Bart, how could you…” Clutching her stinging cheek, Kelley collapsed to the floor, staring up at him in shock.

At that moment, the door to the room creaked open. Rhys entered, Harlee’s hand in his.

His sharp eyes scanned the room, his brow furrowing.

“What happened here?”

The tension in the room peaked with Rhys’ arrival, all hurriedly rising to greet him in unison.

“Mr. Green!” Oaklee, who had been lounging with her cigar, straightened in her seat.

Her expression shifted as her gaze landed on the pair at the door.

“Harlee Gill? Wasn’t she supposed to be residing in Uwhor? And now she was here, on Rhys’ arm, no less?”

Standing beside Rhys, Harlee scanned the crowd with mild curiosity until her gaze settled on Kelley. Lindsay’s sidekick dared to show up here? Interesting.

Harlee’s lips curved into a sly grin. This was going to be entertaining.

When Kelley noticed Harlee, she froze, wishing she could vanish from the Tartarus Club entirely.
