NovelEnglishChapter 1318 Chapter 1318: Paulina paused, her eyes drifting toward Serena, and murmured, "I didn't expect to meet Serena here." Had Paulina known Serena would be here, she would have avoided this place, despite it being her last hope. Her parents, while not worsening Serena's situation back then, had also done nothing to assist her. Unease overcPaulina, feeling unfit to seek any aid from Serena. This was why Paulina had pretended to be asleep until Harlee arrived, when she slowly opened her eyes, filled with shame.
Harlee was taken aback. Although Paulina hadn't spoken explicitly, the message was clear. It was unusual for someone raised by cruel parents to maintain such awareness.

Feeling her protective gear tugged at, Harlee gazed downward and noted Serena's hand, her plea evident. Harlee was baffled by Serena's intentions of intervening.
Serena clenched her fist, her other hand anxiously pulling on Harlee's sleeve. "Harlee, please help save the Fletcher family. Paulina's future depends on them. I fear that brute Samson will show no mercy." The current Samson was nothing like the one he used to be. He had becruthless, completely indifferent to his own daughter. It seemed he was capable of beating Paulina and her parents to death without a second thought.
Paulina stared at Serena, stunned by her plea for the Fletcher family, despite the Fletcher family's previous mistreatment of her.
"Paulina, did Wesley cause all your injuries?" Serena asked, her gaze intense. "Besides his abuse, what more did he do to you? Why is your throat injured?" Paulina lay there, tears cascading down her cheeks, her expression one of unease and paleness. Her naivety had led to such severe mistreatment by Wesley. Before leaving, Serena had urged her to learn to protect herself, advice she had sadly ignored.
"Okay, stop crying, you silly girl," Serena said, gently wiping the tears from Paulina's face. "Just focus on healing in the hospital. As for the Fletcher and Happer families, Harlee and I will take care of them!" "Harlee?" Paulina was taken aback. Harlee hadn't indicated she would help, yet how was Serena so certain? Serena, noticing the puzzled look on Paulina's face, smiled and said, "All you need to know is that Harlee and I will get justice for you." Harlee herself didn't speak, but her eyes conveyed agreement the moment Serena made her request. That was the reason for Serena's confidence.
Ignoring her own puzzlement, Paulina chose not to delve deeper into it. Instead, she continuously expressed gratitude for their willingness to assist the Fletcher family despite everything.

Harlee entered slowly, surveyed the room, and chose the single sofa for herself. She had returned from the hospital and felt the need to cleanse herself, so she had showered. Now, she was dressed in simple black loungewear, her glossy hair loosely pinned up. She wore no jewelry, and her makeup-free face still radiated a subtle allure. Despite the sofa engulfing her slightly, her presence remained commanding. The rest refrained from any silliness.
"I've summoned you to discuss the Fletcher family situation. What ideas do you have?"Harlee asked, her tone flat.
Harlee had previously asked Serena to brief them, so they werecalp M informed about the current issues.
