Chapter 1464: "Those who dared to treatas a pawn in their little gare all six feet under," she said, her voice low and tranquil.
Her words, though spoken with eerie composure, sent shivers rippling through the room.
Rhys stepped forward, his face unreadable, and gently stroked Harlee's hand. It had been ages since Harlee had laid a hand on someone. Surely, it must feel strange to her now.
Oaklee, standing just beside Rhys, let out an involuntary sigh, her lips twitching in faint irritation. Watching Rhys beam at Harlee like a loyal pup desperate for praise was becoming too much to stomach. She averted her gaze, the display of adoration almost making her roll her eyes. She was fed up—utterly and completely done—with his over-the-top public displays of affection for Harlee.

Casper's eyes burned with fury, barely concealing his fear. How could Harlee overpower him so effortlessly? And -damn it-what had she done to his hand? Shit! Casper twisted, angry and desperate, but every movement only caused Harlee to press her foot harder into his chest. The searing pain overwhelmed him, and soon, his body betrayed him. He blacked out.
Harlee's lips curled into the faintest of smiles. Her slender hand hovered over a bottle of wine, almost as if it were a delicate trinket. With a casual flick of her wrist, she lifted the bottle and poured the liquor over Casper's face.
"Ah..." Casper jolted awake, gasping. The pain hit him like a freight train once more, his features twisting into a grimace that could've been mistaken for a wild creature of the mountains.
"Please... Letgo," Casper pleaded, his voice hoarse.
"We can talk. We can sit down and talk it through..." His words were shaky, his body trembling, and the agony gnawed at him relentlessly. Desperation gripped him as he begged for mercy.
Harlee's eyebrows arched slightly, and she regarded him with a chilling, measured gaze.
