High-ranking Claelia officials and local magnates flanked the space, while smaller business owners lingered in the corners, eager to ingratiate themselves.
Twenty high-ranking officials and three local big shots populated the room, each maintaining a composed and inscrutable facade. The air was thick with unspoken anticipation.

Rhys, the man of formidable stature in question, kept his true purpose of attendance hidden from Casper and the rest. His participation wasn't a sign of submission for Harlee's safety, but a calculated move. He had been orchestrating this plot meticulously over the past few days. Killing Casper silently would be simple, but watching him tumble from grace was a spectacle Rhys relished.
Wesson was also present, his gaze demure, concealing emotions unfathomable to others. The intelligence he had gathered revealed that Rhys, this enigmatic man, was Harlee's husband.

If he refused to cooperate, he would have no way to answer to the Happer family, leaving him no choice but to take the risk. He had fought tooth and nail against the odds to bring things this far. As long as Rhys feared Nola's threat, Casper could keep reaping the benefits from their standoff.
Casper was confident that Rhys wouldn't dare strike at him hastily. Above all, Rhys adored Harlee, so as long as Nola posed a threat to Harlee, Rhys would be forced to play along.
