NovelStartChapter 1618 Chapter 1618: A flicker of anger crossed Errol's face, but he masked it quickly.
"Nola, I know you harbor grievances against me, but remember, all my actions are for the welfare of the Happer family. Only when the Happer family prospers will you succeed!" He stressed the final words, as if trying to imprint them on her heart.
Nola looked up, her expression steely.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"And what does that matter to me?" She snorted. Despite her contributions to the family, had Errol ever expressed gratitude? Tand again, he had tried to allocate the leadership role meant for her to others. Now, with Davenport in jeopardy, he was attempting to manipulate her again. Did he take her for a fool? Errol was unsettled by Nola's piercing gaze. He couldn't fathom why this granddaughter, whom he had only recently reconnected with, held such deep-seated resentment toward him, while his other descendants continued to respect and adore him. Could the disposition of grandchildren not raised within the family truly be so different? If not for the DNA test, he might doubt whether Nola was truly a Happer.
Resolved to address Nola's attitude and uncover whether Davenport was indeed framed or inherently flawed, Errol knew that only thorough preparations could ensure the Happer family's continued prominence. His gaze unintentionally fell on a photograph on the table, his expression clouding with thought.
At Uwhor Airport, Harlee disembarked the plane to find Desmond's contacts already waiting. They promptly drove her to the beachside villa Rhys had arranged.
In the villa's living room, Robbie set a glass of water in front of Harlee and said in a deep voice, "Harlee, we've thoroughly cleaned the house. If it doesn't meet your standards, we can go over it again." Explore more fiction on galηovs.☐☐☐ He then sat down next to Thiago.
Harlee settled into the sofa, crossing her legs and reclining slightly, her expression impassive and her gaze cold. She surveyed the group, her eyes eventually landing on Serena, who appeared particularly uneasy. In a cool tone, Harlee said, "Let's discuss the current information." Robbie immediately stood up and began his report.
"According to what we've gathered, Davenport is being detained at the Happer family's private facility. Errol has managed to keep the situation under wraps, and the families of the victims have accepted settlements to remain silent. Our contacts in Uwhor tried to reach Davenport, but..." At this point, Robbie paused, his face overtaken by anger.
"Not only have we failed to gather any information, but we've also lost several members." Who else but Errol could orchestrate the silent elimination of the company's business partners? Serena, recalling the information she had reviewed on the plane, felt a surge of anger. If this was the true nature of her family, she preferred the life of an orphan.
After hearing this, Thiago looked back at Harlee.

It was unclear whether Nola would leverage the Happer family's m influence against Harle bût the dynamics Would certainly shift. This was probably why Desmond had Robbie report directly to Harlee and rushed to arrange everything. Harlee lifted her eyelids, picked up the glass of water from the table, and took a deliberate sip, appearing completely unruffled.
This left Robbie and the others puzzled. Was Harlee not concerned om about Nola taking action? Why was she so calm now? Could it be that Harlee had set up a new organization in Uwhor without their knowledge?
As everyone watched in silence, Harlee took out her phone, paused for a moment, scrolled through NO nearly three hundred contacts, and sent a message. Once finished, she looked up at Serena, her voice gentle. "You and I will go out later."
