?Chapter 697: How dare Liam, that upstart from a no-name family, challenge me? Elvin fumed, clenching his fists, his eyes alight with fury and resentment.


    Ill never let a vermin like him overshadow me! Elvins expression darkened into a sly smile as he turned to his driver.


    Is your cousin now driving for the Gill family? Yes, sir, the driver replied respectfully.


    Hes infiltrated the Gill family as per your instructions and is ready to assist at any time.


    Elvins smile grew more sinister.


    Assist, you say? Lets have him sabotage Liams car.


    Elvin decided that Liam, the kind of man who dared to act out against him, needed to be taught a lesson.


    In Elvins world, anyone who showed him disrespect had to pay, preferably with their lives.


    His pride could withstand humiliation for strategic purposes, but outright disrespect was something he could not let slide.


    The driver responded without hesitation, Understood, sir.


    Ill ensure he gets your message once were back.


    Elvin leaned back, smirking in satisfaction.


    Unbeknownst to Elvin, the drivers smile took on a secretive, calcting twist as he ryed Elvins plot in full detail to Rhys, seeking furthermands.


    Rhys response was brief and to the point.


    Carry on as you were.


    Let them destroy each other.


    If needed, cripple their efforts.


    Dive into the story world at gα?ησv?????s?c?m Meanwhile, at the Remson Manor, Harlee and Rhys found themselves rxing in the ss house nestled in the courtyard right after lunch.


    Harlees fingers idly toyed with Rhys as she lounged in his embrace.


    She pinched and pulled at his fingers, her gaze distant and clearly adrift.


    Rhys, with a tender touch, brushed through her hair, asionally kneading her scalp.


    He observed her preupation for a while before probing softly, What are you thinking about, Harlee? sping his hand tighter, Harlee shook her head dismissively.


    How do people as wicked as Liam and Elvin manage to live among the rest of us? Just as Rhys was about to soothe her with some words offort, Harlees musings took a sharp turn.


    She abruptly sat upright, her eyes alight with a newfound intensity.


    Im really curious to explore whats wrong in their minds.


    How can someonepletely disregard the bonds of family? Rhys let out a lightugh, affectionately tousling her hair as he responded with a yful tone, Really now? Are you considering taking up experiments? Harlees eyes twinkled with challenge, her posture straightening.


    Perhaps I am.


    You might be surprised by what Im capable of.


    Catching an unusual glimmer in Rhys eyes, Harlee connected the dots from their recent intrigues.


    She leaned in, her voice teasing as she tapped his chin lightly.


    Based on that look… Tell me.


    Did our scheme to pit the Juarezs against the Gills seed? .
