GoodNovelChapter 1151: She shot up from the bed, her eyes immediately landing on Rhys, who stood on the balcony, a cup of coffee in hand—a drink he usually shunned—his mind clearly lost in the fog of his own thoughts.
Sensing his distraction, Harlee decided not to interrupt. Instead, she quietly slipped out of bed and went to freshen up.
However, Rhys was already aware Harlee was awake the moment her eyelids fluttered open.
He just didn't know how to face her after what had transpired the previous night. The embarrassment weighed heavily on him.

Her faint smile carried a sharp edge.
"Did they know they were trespassing on my territory?" Robbie finished the last bite of his toast before replying, "No, they don't. I made sure to cover our tracks before they figured it out." But it hadn't been easy. Those assassins weren't amateurs, and accomplishing the task had taken all of Robbie's effort and required enlisting Ritchie's help.
"Where is Ritchie?" Harlee suddenly asked.
"What?" Robbie blinked, caught off guard. Weren't they discussing last night's incident? Why was she suddenly asking about Ritchie? Her tone made it clear she already knew he'd helped Ritchie escape from the hospital.

At least someone knows where he is hiding this time.
But next time, he might not leave any clue.
A person who is determined to hide is almost impossible to track."
Harlee turned toward the sound and saw Rhys descending the stairs holding a cup of coffee. Propping her ve chin on her palm, she watched him with an unmistakable glint of admiration. Rhys stiffened under her gaze.
He lowered his eyes and continued, "The only one who can bring him back is Tonya, Though don't understand love, I know one thing: someone desperate to leave can't be forced to stay." Robbie quickly chimed in, "Harlee, I think Mr. Green has a point.
At least I know where Ritchie is and that he is safe."
Harlee understood all of this already.
Still, she couldn't help but feel for Tonya. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
