NovelEnglishChapter 1627: Davenport looked at Harlee skeptically, but within a minute, he nodded in agreement. He then shared with Harlee all he knew, including his confusion about how he ended up in his current situation and his uncertainty regarding any harm he may have caused to the models. He disclosed every detail about his day: his actions, the people he encountered, and what he saw.
Sometimes caution was better than bravery. Although skeptical of Harlee's claims, Davenport acknowledged that anyone who could move in and out of the Happer family's private detention was no ordinary person.
Twenty minutes later, Stefan arrived punctually.

Harlee stood, and just as she was about to exit the prison, she turned back to ask, “The announcement of the temporary head of the Happer family is in five days, right?" Davenport interjected, correcting her, "Actually, it's on the sixth day. The decision is made on the fifth." "That's all I needed to know." Harlee left these cryptic words behind as she vanished into the shadows.
Then, Harlee and her group left the private detention, as if they had never been there. After Stefan and his team safely dropped everyone off in the small grove 300 meters away from Happer Manor, he left with his men to finish sremaining tasks.
Before Robbie could say anything, Harlee interrupted him. She climbed into the back seat of the car with a stern expression and commanded, "Let's head back first." "Yes!" The team acknowledged the command and quickly entered the vehicle. The driver released the handbrake, started the engine, and they drove away.
In the living room of the seaside villa, Harlee grabbed a cup of coffee that Rhys had just made. She crossed her legs, leaned back, raised her eyebrows, and her eyes sparkled with a hint of amusement.
Robbie, sitting at the bar, had been wanting to inquire about Stefan for a while, but fear of Harlee's potential reaction had kept him silent. Seeing her in a relaxed mood, he seized the moment to sit across from her.
"Harlee, who exactly is Stefan? How does he have such easy access to and from Happer Manor? Also, did you devise a new plan while inside?" Robbie remembered Harlee's initial command to leave no witnesses, yet her approach changed immediately once inside. He wondered why.
Harlee's eyes narrowed slightly, and she tilted her head, a playful smirk appearing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Oh? Do you see an issue with how I've handled things?" Robbie opened his mouth, hesitating. Even though he sensed she was teasing, his heart raced. Good heavens, if he dared to nod, Harlee might decide to make an example of him.
Observing Robbie's anxious face, Harlee's smile widened. As Rhys sat down beside her, she leaned back into his arms. She casually rested her hand on his thigh, tapping it thoughtlessly.
Rhys handed her swashed grapes. Harlee looked down at them, opened her mouth, and waited to be fed.
The couple then drifted into their own little world, seemingly oblivious to everyone else. This left Robbie sitting across from them, typically unfazed by their closeness unless he was fraught with worry. "Harlee," Robbie said softly, hoping to draw a bit of her attention.
Harlee was merely engaging in playful mischief to tease Robbie, so kept it she naturally kept it light. After m finishing the grapes, she said in a determined tone, "If you're curious about Stefan, you should ask Serena later. I don't feel like explaining it again."
A few moments later, Harlee continued with the sassertive voice, "For years, Nola has tried to havekilled using others rather than doing it herself. This tellsshe's desperate for the headship of the Happer family, and I'm determined not to let her get it. Davenport is her main enemy, and he's clever, so I think it's worth expanding the conflict."
