Chapter 140 Rosalie’s Setup
“Yeah, I will.”

Micah finally let go of her hand. He gave Rosalie one last look before walking away.
Now Rosalie stood alone on the street.
Finished
This was exactly her plan. She wanted the beastman guarding her to leave so Harris would think she was alone.
Then he’d definitely try something.
And he wouldn’t make a move in the middle of a busy street. Rosalie just needed enough time to walk toward the trap she had set up.
As for the numbers, she’d sent Gael and Julien to wait on the only road into the city. If the two brothers split up, Harris would split his crew too.
Then they could take them down separately.
As Rosalie wandered the streets alone, people stared. It was super rare to see a female out without any beastmen protecting her.
That was exactly the reaction she wanted.
The sun shifted slowly. It was almost time for Harris to enter the city.
Rosalie took a sip of water and tried to calm down. This time, she was sure she’d catch him.
Suddenly, she heard a commotion in the distance. Her heart skipped a beat. He’s here!
She got ready, pretending to casually head toward the city gate. She kept a tight grip on the bone knife hidden in her sleeve.
Suddenly, a big hand grabbed her shoulder. The pain made her frown.
She panicked. Was Harris really this reckless? Was he seriously going to attack her in the middle of the street?
She didn’t have time to think. She swung her knife behind her, but an arm caught her and pulled her into a tight hug.
Rosalie froze. She looked up and saw a very familiar face.
Her eyes widened. “Why is it you?”

Finished
It was Leon-the one who had been unconscious for so long, bedridden until now. How was he suddenly awake?
Rosalie was shocked and happy at the same time, then she tried to push him away.
Leon looked confused. He had slept for so long, and when he woke up, he found himself in a female’s house.
His heart sank. He panicked. Did Matriarch sell me to someone else?
He was so anxious that he didn’t even stop to put on his shoes. He ran home to ask Rosalie what was going on.
But halfway there, he saw his matriarch walking alone on the street-no beastman guarding her at all.
Leon’s
eyes instantly turned red from worry. He was so angry at the other useless beastmen. How could they leave her unprotected like this while he was out?
The more Rosalie pushed him away, the more it hurt Leon’s heart.
Seeing that he wouldn’t budge, Rosalie shouted into the air, “Cameron, get out here and take him away!”
Cameron jumped down from some rooftop, wrapped an arm around Leon’s neck, and dragged him off.
Leon glanced at Cameron and then at Rosalie. Because he’d been sick for so long, his cheeks were sunken, and his eyes looked extra big. He stared at her with a pitiful look and whimpered, “Matriarch!”
Rosalie heard heavy footsteps approaching. She knew this time it really was Harris.
She shouted to Cameron, “Explain everything to him! Don’t let him fight. He’s still weak!”
She saw the little fox give her a thumbs-up, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Once they were gone, it didn’t take long before Rosalie felt someone watching her from behind -quiet, sneaky, but definitely there.
Once the watcher confirmed she was Rosalie, the stare turned colder and more obvious.
Rosalie was almost sure it was Harris.
She didn’t hesitate, walking calmly along the planned route until she reached the outskirts, on a wooded path outside the city. Only then did she stop.
