NovelEnglishChapter 1611 Chapter 1611: Those closest to Harlee shifted uneasily, instinctively taking a few steps back. They couldn't shake the feeling that if her call went south, her anger might ccrashing down on them.
Harlee looked at them indifferently, leaned against the wall, and tapped the answer button. She spoke slowly, her tone light and teasing.
"Are you on the balcony?" Her guess couldn't have been more precise. After a fruitless search for Patrick and the others, Rhys had stepped out onto the balcony.
Rhys knew Harlee had orchestrated this moment. Though he could have ordered another subordinate to take action, he chose to call from the balcony, hoping it would calm her down.

Seeing the photo Rhys had sent, Harlee clicked her tongue in mild annoyance.
"Is this really so hard for you? Fortunately, I had reached out to Kareem. Otherwise, this matter might not have been settled today." Rhys, who had been poised to send more pictures in a bid for sympathy, froze. After a beat, he silently deleted the photos. He cleared his throat.
"It's not difficult at all. I'll be out of Remson Manor in three minutes." Bracing himself against the balcony railing with one hand, phone in the other, he propelled himself forward. With well-practiced agility, he leaped onto a nearby platform, using the sleek structure of the glass room to slide down effortlessly.

"Will you still be stuck even after Tiffany terminates her contract?" Rhys responded without hesitation, "Givethirty minutes. The relevant authorities will arrive at Star Entertainment, and both Devonte and the mastermind behind those actions will be in custody." His words tumbled out, unlike his usual composed self.
But then again, when Rhys was with Harlee, calmness seemed like a foreign concept to him.
Satisfied that she had achieved her goal, Harlee stopped teasing him. Her voice turned serious as she said, "If there's a next time, I'll break your legs!" Without waiting for a response, she ended the call.
Rhys arched a brow, a slow smile tugging at his lips. Unfazed, he got straight to work, tackling the issues exactly as Harlee had instructed.
Regarding Harlee's warning about a next tof holding her for another round of intimacy when she had things to attend to, Rhys chose to pretend he hadn't understood. After all, he would rather endure a broken limb than miss the chance to be intimate with his wife.

This brief interlude passed without much fanfare. Harlee once again picked an empty spot, sat down, and waited for another ten minutes before Devonte finally showed up.
Devonte walked in wearing a sharp. black suit, his hair slicked back neatly. As Tiffany had described him, he was undeniably handsome.
However, the scowl on his face twisted his features into something far less appealing.
