Chapter 1683:

Harlee noticed Errol’s hostile look but remained indifferent. To her, his expressions were merely entertaining. She was well aware of the Happer family’s movements, thanks to Stefan’s surveillance. Except for a few secrets under Errol’s direct command, she knew nearly everything about him. Anticipating that Errol and Nola might approach her, Harlee was prepared.

Despite his fury at Harlee’s indifference, Errol could instantly switch back to the demeanor of a benevolent elder. Looking at Harlee with a warmth as if she were family, he softened his tone, infused with paternal affection.
