NovelEnglishChapter 1706: Robbie, ever the thrill-seeker, was reluctant to leave, but his companions were not about to let him stay.
Harlee rose gracefully, and Rhys stood beside her, their gazes sternly settling on the trio. No words were needed. Their silence was a clear warning. Judson raised his hands in a conciliatory gesture as he continued to retreat. "Harlee, Rhys, we were just looking for sinfo. We didn't see anything. Please, carry on." He regretted agreeing to Robbie's plan-if he'd known what they'd stumble upon, he would have never set foot in the study! Aldrich slowly reached for the doorknob, saying, “Yeah, we didn't see anything. Harlee, please continue! Don't let us three stooges spoil the mood." The next moment, Aldrich shut the door with a loud bang and dashed downstairs as if being chased, vowing not to assist Robbie with information-seeking for at least a month.
Robbie, his mouth still covered, wore an expression of complete innocence. He had informed Harlee beforehand that he would be coming to the study to search for information. Any disruption wasn't his fault, as she had simply forgotten. He was being wrongly blamed.

Harlee, unbothered, straightened her clothes and strolled over to the desk, casually swinging her legs as she sipped watermelon juice as if nothing had happened. She turned to Rhys with a playful smile, catching the lingering dissatisfaction on his face. Tsk. Clearly, she couldn't rely on Robbie, Aldrich, and Judson for the Happer family affair. She mused that a good thrashing might improve their effectiveness. Perhaps then, she could assign them to a task in the south.
Obviously, Harlee had overlooked Robbie's earlier mention of his visit to the study for information. LVFe$t Chap‡ƏRŞ 1 GülRhys cleared his throat and stood, pulling a file from the drawer. With a serious expression, he said, “There's a new project in Claelia. I think it's tthose three got sreal experience." Harlee glanced at the file, noting the words "Kiln Mine." A mischievous twinkle appeared in her eyes.
"Okay, I'll change the charger to deal with the Happer family." She figured it might do Rhys sgood to let off ssteam. Otherwise, the tmight find themselves in even deeper trouble. Indeed, if Rhys decided to take the ton daily for three months, she doubted they'd last.
A month later, Elva had to return to Uwhor University for personal reasons. Harlee, wary of Nola's potential retribution, accompanied her to Uwhor.
At the entrance of Uwhor University, President Darin Courtenay stood with faculty leaders and top medical students, all gathered to welca distinguished guest. They were there to greet Serena, a luminary in the medical field known for her significant contributions to global health.
Universities worldwide vied for a chance to host Serena for guest lectures, but she rarely made public appearances, usually busy with tasks assigned by Harlee or deep in her lab work.

Many were skeptical, suspecting it to be a publicity stunt by Darin. Aftenall, Serena was so etusive that Darin could easily deceive the public by presenting anyone as her.
The only confirmation cwhen her lab issued a statement verifying her participation. This boosted Uwhor University's fovernight and elevated Darin's stature. Serena had insisted on no airport reception. Otherwise, Darin would have gladly camped out there for a day.
However, what remained unknown to all was that Serena's acceptance to deliver a lecture was actually a m strategic move orchestrated by Harlee. The objective was simple: to have Serena publicly reveal herself to the Happer family.
