After a day spent together, Rhys and Anika were now at ease, conversing over drinks. Rhys had even retrieved his phone. Yet, he hadn’t reached out to Hamilton, Patrick, or anyone else.

He waited, though uncertain of what he was waiting for.

All he knew was that the answer was connected to Anika and Eugenia, whom Anika had referred to as her sister. It seemed that, at last, he had found the answer.

From his conversation with Eugenia, Rhys concluded that Eugenia’s and Anika’s connections extended deeply into both the underworld and lawful realms. Moreover, it seemed his life was ticking down to a mere three months due to the poison, likely administered by either Eugenia or Anika.

Unsure of their intentions, Rhys decided to stay near, seeking clarity.

He wouldn’t let anything threaten Harlee. Rhys flashed a sophisticated smile at Eugenia.

“Anika mentioned you might have a remedy for my condition. I wonder…”

Eugenia gently placed a finger to his lips and blinked seductively.

“Shh, let’s set that aside while we drink.”

Rhys, not pressed for time, apologized and finished his drink swiftly.

Captivated by him, Eugenia leaned in close to Anika and murmured, “You have outstanding taste.

Even I am tempted by him.”

Anika, sipping her wine, smiled serenely.

“Why do you think I made such an effort?”

Their smiles conveyed a mutual understanding, speaking volumes without words.

Though Rhys couldn’t catch their whispered exchange, he sensed an underlying tension in their demeanor.

Both women were unmistakably dangerous.

He discreetly noted every detail, planning to delve into their histories later.

Throughout the evening, Rhys portrayed himself as a patient in need of help, adopting a modest attitude when interacting with them. Outwardly, he appeared eager to foster a friendly connection, carefully concealing any traces of mistrust.

The following day at the Green family estate, the moment Harlee walked in, Belinda, who had been standing in the living room looking downcast, lit up with a smile. She was reassured that she had not misjudged Harlee. Jose, witnessing his wife’s sudden shift from gloom to joy, was initially confused, suspecting she might be experiencing a breakdown. Unaware of Harlee’s presence, he quickly moved to Belinda’s side, his voice filled with concern.

“Honey, are you alright? Do we need to call the doctor?”

Belinda turned to him with an expression that suggested he was foolish and said, “Harlee’s here. I’m fine, of course.”

Jose, caught off-guard, finally saw Harlee.

His expression soured, not out of any resentment toward her concerning Rhys’ incident, but rather due to his longstanding reluctance to accept her as Rhys’ future spouse. With Rhys now in danger, he figured Harlee’s integration into the Green family seemed unlikely, prompting his unwelcoming demeanor.

Jose frowned.

“Why are you here?”
