Chapter 1420:


    She shifted her gaze to Thiago and slowly asked, “Is everything prepared?”


    “Yes, all is arranged just as you directed,” Thiago replied.


    Resting against Rhys, Harlee instructed, “Stay vignt tonight. We mighte across some surprises.”


    “Understood!” Thiago responded and promptly set out to prepare.


    Harlee paused for a moment and then turned to Jianna with new instructions.


    “Jianna, you’re the most skilled. Take thetest pinhole camera and slip in quietly. I need to know exactly what Lucius is up to at all times!”


    “Understood!” Jianna vanished into the shadows with astounding swiftness.


    Rhys, encircling Harlee’s waist with his arms, expressed his discontent.


    “All is in order. Now, let’s get some rest.”


    “I want to monitor Lucius’ actions,” Harlee replied.


    “This is our prime opportunity to uncover his motives and the reasons behind his cooperation with N.”


    Rhys understood her concern. He frowned but refrained from insisting she rest. Instead, he said coldly, “Don’t stay up toote. Let Jianna and the others keep watch, and we’ll n it out again tomorrow morning.”


    “Okay.”


    Harlee nodded, though her thoughts had already drifted far away. Sleep was elusive for her tonight; she had devised this strategy against Lucius, and how could she possibly sleep without witnessing its result?


    Indeed, from the moment Lucius set foot on the ind, he had fallen prey to Harlee’s borate snare, which included the decoy of a small house and a tombstone set for the following morning—everyponent of her intricate scheme. How could she let Lucius’ corrupted affection disturb Nic’s peace?


    gα?ησν????s??????? brings great stories


    During the earlier phone call with Rhys, Harlee had not only updated Desmond on her situation and uing ns, but also assigned new tasks to Thiago.


    Harlee had instructed Thiago to clean up the small house that was still standing and transfer some of Nic’s less significant possessions into it, crafting the perfect setup.


    The illusion that Nic had lived there before she died needed to be as miserable and pitiful as possible. Harlee had ordered Thiago to arrange everything so that the scene would reflect that tragic narrative. Additionally, she had instructed him to erect a new tombstone for Nic on the western side, which they nned to visit tomorrow. Lucius would remain oblivious to the fact that he had never really set foot in Nic’s previous house or visited her tombstone.


    A faint, cold smile appeared at the corner of Harlee’s mouth. Suddenly, Rhys swept her into his arms. She hastily clung to his neck, eximing, “I can walk on my own!”


    She had been too engrossed in her thoughts and had ignored Rhys. Her tone now carried a hint of unease. If he had noticed her earlier, deep in thought, she would have had to appease him for quite some time.


    “You’re too slow!” Rhys chuckled, tightening his grip.


    “Let’s hurry back so we can get some rest.”


    Relieved that he hadn’t caught her distraction earlier, Harlee stopped resisting.


    Had they not hadplete control over T&H Ind, and had Lucius brought more than six people, Rhys’ assertive nature would surely have been exposed many times over.


    Back at their temporary shelter, Harlee enjoyed a soothing hot bath while appreciating Rhys’ increasingly skilled massages. She was so rxed that she nearly fell asleep. But she resisted. She was yet to witness the most thrilling part of the drama.


    Roughly thirty minutester, Jianna sent an update with a livestreaming link.


    In the video, Lucius sat in Nic’s room, his posture hunched, and his expression utterly defeated, as if he had aged ten years in a single moment. It was evident that he had deduced Nic’s torment from the effects of the Bloodthirstiness pill.


    A sharp p then echoed through the room. Lucius struck himself repeatedly, tears streaming down his face, overwhelmed by regret and shame.
