Chapter 1574:

Just then, Aldrich’s phone vibrated. He looked at the kneeling man and casually remarked, “Make better choices,” before turning to answer the call.

Grinning, Aldrich said into the phone, “You said ten minutes and it really was ten minutes. Harlee, I knew you wouldn’t leave me hanging!” Meanwhile, Harlee was sitting next to Rhys, her demeanor calm. Her eyes were half-closed, a trace of annoyance under her elegant brows. She crossed her legs, her voice cool and detached.

“Tell me, what did you manage in these ten minutes?”

Aldrich pouted, his frustration evident. There was no escaping Harlee’s watchful eyes. It didn’t matter if he simply sneezed—Harlee would know about it even if she were on the other side of the world. It was maddening. He had no privacy, no room to breathe!

Aldrich adjusted his clothes, cleared his throat, and recounted what had transpired earlier through the line.

“Harlee, I swear I didn’t do anything wrong. I just dealt with five troublemakers, and trust me, they were far from good people.”

The man kneeling before Aldrich was already dizzy from the whiplash of Aldrich’s sudden tone changes. As Aldrich spoke nonchalantly, the kneeling man’s eyes rolled back, and he slumped backward, knocked out cold.
