?Chapter 1774:


    “Stefan, Stefan… Now it all makes sense…”


    Errol burst into maniacalughter as all the pieces fell into ce.


    “No wonder I was defeated today. You’ve been scheming from the start, ha-ha… I ept my defeat gracefully!”


    Robbie and Stefan looked on with scornful sneers.


    ncing at Errol and Moshe, Jianna sweetly addressed Harlee,


    “These two old fools have taken up so much of your time. Should I turn them into mincemeat?”


    Serena looked coldly at Errol, her biological grandfather, her expression serene and emotionless. She then turned to Harlee and said,


    “As you instructed, I’ve seized control of the Happer family’s forces. Mr. Green is also on his way. Is everything you nnedpleted? Let us handle the killing of these two old men. There’s no need for you to stain your hands.”


    Harlee gave a slight nod.


    “No need. Isn’t there an auto-ignition system in thisb? Let him die by his own device.”


    Earlier, after Errol had vacated theboratory, Harlee had hacked into theb’s systems. She had modified the door lock mechanisms and altered the conditions for triggering the auto-ignition system. Thus, the system was still operational—only the trigger device Errol held had been rendered useless.


    “Yes!” Serena, Jianna, Robbie, and Stefan all eximed together.


    “Let’s leave.” Harlee had no desire to further engage with Errol and Moshe. She exited the room without a backward nce, her expression impassive.


    For someone who was a burden to society, dying with nothing but resentment was the harshest punishment. Because of that, Harlee refused to answer any of Errol’s questions or tell him when his failure had be inevitable.

    “Harlee, you…” Errol’s voice faded into the roar of the mes engulfing him.


    “Ah… Harlee, I will never forgive you, not even in death! I curse you to suffer miserably forever…”


    His pleas and curses were drowned out by his own agonized screams as the fire consumed him.


    Serena observed the scene with detachment, her expression unchanged. Upon discovering Errol’s coboration with rogue scientists globally on biochemical weapons, she severed all emotional ties with the Happer family. By this point, the Happer family, Errol included, had be nothing more than enemies to Harlee.


    And Harlee? Her face remained impassive. If curses had any power, she would have been long gone.


    Three hourster, the research facility Errol had dedicated his life to was reduced to ashes.


    Harlee stood watching quietly when suddenly, she felt arms encircling her from behind.


    Rhys had just exited an SUV and immediately spotted Harlee. His gaze, intense and filled with warmth, locked on her as he walked over and embraced her tightly.


    Harlee blinked slowly, a slight smile appearing on her face as she leaned back against Rhys, feeling his distinct presence and the security he brought.
