NovelEndChapter 1071 Chapter 1071: He was so thrilled that he picked up the call in a heartbeat, even though he was right in the middle of a meeting.
The executives exchanged puzzled glances, their curiosity piqued, but none dared to say a word.
Brice raised a hand, signaling for the meeting to pause, and strode confidently out of the conference room. Hearing from Harlee after such a long thad Brice grinning from ear to ear.

Sitting on the hospital bed, Harlee casually unwrapped a piece of her favorite candy, letting it melt in her mouth as her voice remained nonchalant.
"So, how's that girl I asked you to train?" Harlee planned to push Gussie into the limelight and bow out of her own career for good, stepping out of the spotlight once and for all. She had crafted countless designs, and she knew the well of inspiration would eventually run dry. She thrived on the freedom of designing without being elevated to a high position. Her goal was for Gussie to take the reins and ascend to the throne of the fashion design world.
When Harlee asked her first question, Brice's voice betrayed a hint of disappointment.
"I knew you would be calling to check on her..." But his dismay was short-lived, and his tone quickly shifted to one of enthusiasm as he spoke of Gussie's impressive abilities and her innate design talent. Then, as though he had just remembered something exciting, he dropped his voice to a conspiratorial whisper.

After all, there was no reward for guessing. She had seen Gussie's design drafts before. Most of them only needed a few tweaks before they were ready for the runway. She replied coolly, "Enough with the jokes. I'm calling to discuss something serious. I plan to present Gussie next month to officially take over my position." "Are you serious?" Brice was incredulous, his hand flying to his mouth.
"She is just a newcomer with hardly any experience in designing.
Are you sure about letting her take over so soon, especially replacing you? That's incredibly fast!" Fast? To Harlee, next month felt like a lifetaway. If Kareem hadn't insisted she stay put in the hospital for another month, Gussie would have already been standing in the spotlight by now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust as Harlee opened her mouth to speak, a notification lit up her screen. It was a message from Kareem.
"Anika and Eugenia are dead. Their deaths were horrific. They appeanto have been tortured. Their bodies were found abandoned in the wilderness." Before Harlee could process it, a message from Tonya popped up.
"OMG! Anika and Eugenia are gone! They died in the Baythorn suburbs. I once thought Rhys had sent them back to Uwhor. What's happening?" Baython suburbs. I Harlee couldn't help but frown. She zoomed in on the photos Tonya had sent.
As she studied them, her frown deepened further. The bodies were mutilated beyond recognition, except for their disturbingly intact faces-almost as if whoever did this wanted their identities known. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
