NovelReadingChapter 1638: Celine said between sobs, "Well, I saw Thiago today. He didn't tellhe has returned, and he even took a woman to a fancy restaurant for dinner." Nola's expression remained unchanged, but her disgust for Celine grew slightly. Still, she maintained her caring facade and gently patted Celine's back.
The fleeting disgust that Nola felt toward Celine was revealing. If Celine weren't the cherished adopted daughter of the Duke of Mylo, Nola would never have associated with someone she considered so beneath her.
"How could that be? Calm down. Just telleverything slowly, and I'll help you figure it out." Nola's tone was flat, devoid of warmth. If the woman Celine was fretting over weren't likely Harlee, Nola would scarcely have bothered to feign interest.
Tears flowed down Celine's cheeks more intensely as she looked at Nola, who donned a mock concerned face.

Nola knew Harlee's husband had already arrived in Uwhor. Surely, if it were merely a casual dinner, Harlee would have dined with her husband instead of with Thiago. Could their solitary appearance in the restaurant signify a new plan? Nola kept up her charade, her tone growing even more anxious.
"A woman? What woman? Could you describe her?" Although Nola was almost certain the woman was Harlee, she needed to confirm it.

Celine bit her lip, silently vowing that as Nola's closest friend, she would persuade her father to support Nola's bid to becthe acting head of the Happer family.
Celine described Harlee's appearance and said with bitterness, "So, what if she's pretty? Thiago and I are meant to be!" Once confirming it was indeed Harlee, Nola's gaze sharpened as she plotted to leverage the Cavendish family's influence against Harlee.
Nola softened her gaze at Celine, her voice resolute.
"Celine, don't stress. I'll handle that woman. Thiago can only be with you. Just make sure you look your best and leave a lasting impression on him. Don't let that woman cbetween you," she advised with a fake smile. "Thank you, Nola. I knew I could count on you!" Celine exclaimed, opening her arms and embracing Nola tightly.
"However..." Nola frowned, seemingly troubled.
Celine tilted her head.

I might not be able to confront that woman immediately." As Nola spoke, her expression grew sorrowful, as if she had been deeply wronged.
"I don't understand it. I'm clearly more capable than Davenport, yet my grandfather prefers him." Celine looked at Nola, her expression determined.
"Nola, don't fret. You can use my resources as needed. And about the position of acting head... I'll speak with my dad. He has surely, youpy chax influence, and grandfather will consider his opinion!" Pride tinged Celine's voice as she spoke the last sentence.
Her father was an earl within the Cavendish family, and even someone as esteemed as Errol would need to respect him.
With this thought, Celine turned to Nola and declared confidently) "Nola, the leadership of the Happer family E must be yours!"
Celine naively assumed securing such a position for Nola would undoubtedly elevate her own status. Perhaps her father would reward her with additional subordinates, enabling her to outmaneuver her brother and secure Thiago for herself.
