?Chapter 1505:


    Yvonne’s tone became deceptively sweet as she responded, “Quick, take off their hoods. These two are our key leverage for today. Let’s finish this, and I’ll cover you while you get on the ne.”


    Simms’s expression shifted subtly as he realized the gravity of the situation. Without Yvonne’s help to buy time, the Sanderson family would soon discover his betrayal, jeopardizing his escape n.


    Prompted by urgency, Simms overcame his hesitation. He walked over to the hooded captives and, with a decisive motion, removed their hoods, revealing their identities.


    Underneath the hoods were Sk and Tiffany, both gagged and unable to cry out. Until this moment, they had been isted, unaware of the other’s kidnapping.


    As their eyes adjusted to the sudden light, they quickly scanned the room for any sign of Harlee, checking for her safety before their gazes met in mutual recognition.


    Neither Sk nor Tiffany had expected to encounter an acquaintance in such a distressing situation.


    Sk had assumed her abduction was a straightforward ransom demand, never imagining it was part of arger scheme to manipte Harlee.


    Tiffany, who had been abducted shortly after seeing Harlee, was more concerned about being a burden to Harlee than her own safety.


    Seeing the familiar faces of Sk and Tiffany, a fierce light flickered in Harlee’s eyes. She quickly assessed them for injuries, and upon finding none, her face hardened into an expression of deep anger. Those who knew her well would recognize this as the calm before the storm.


    Yvonne stared intently at Harlee, searching for any sign of an emotional response. But there was none. Harlee disyed no anger, no pain, and no shock—nothing at all. Not even the slightest trace of emotion crossed her face. Despite her mother’s life hanging by a thread, Harlee appearedpletely unaffected. It was as if the kidnapped victims were strangers to her.


    ???? ??????? ?? ?????????.???


    Simms, momentarily caught off guard by the scene, showed a flicker of confusion. Had he not known Sk, he might have wondered if they had the wrong people. Harlee’sck of reaction was deeply unsettling.


    Harlee turned her gaze away and jumped down from the stone block, advancing toward Yvonne with deliberate steps.


    Having previously underestimated Harlee, Yvonne instinctively backed away in rm. But hindered by the steel pipe still embedded in her thigh and with no henchmen to help, she copsed to the floor with a heavy thud.


    “What do you want?” Yvonne cried in panic.


    “Remember, Harlee, I have control over your mother and Tiffany! Ahhh… Release me!”


    Harlee gently knelt down, taking hold of the steel pipe embedded in Yvonne’s thigh. A subtle grin curled on her lips. Suddenly, she thrust the pipe deeper into Yvonne’s flesh.


    Before Yvonne could react with a scream, her eyes fluttered shut, and she copsed from the overwhelming pain, fainting.


    Simms, witnessing Harlee’s brutal tactics, was momentarily stunned and unable to respond.


    With indifferent precision, Harlee released the steel pipe, and Yvonne’s head struck the floor with a resounding “thud.”


    But Harlee was far from finished with Yvonne. She retrieved a pill from her pocket, leaned over, and forced it into Yvonne’s mouth. Afterward, she pped Yvonne’s face multiple times until she regained consciousness.


    Yvonne hissed, “Ahhh… Harlee, you bitch! I will have my revenge.”


    Frozen in ce, Simms regained hisposure only after hearing Yvonne’s anguished screams. He spoke firmly, “Harlee, let her go now, or I will do to your mother and friend what you’ve done to Yvonne!”


    Sk and Tiffany shook their heads vigorously, silently urging Harlee not to concern herself with their safety. Even in their weakened state, they were determined not to stop Harlee.


    Harlee slowly lifted her head, a menacing smile ying on her lips, her eyes as cold as ice.
