Chapter 1525: Jose was confused by the glare but continued eating without a care. After all, Nathaniel had never been pleased with him, and Jose had long since grown accustomed to it.
Impressed by Harlee, Belinda served her more food while asking with a twinkle in her eye, "Lee, what adventures did you have today?" Jose looked up, turning his attention to Harlee.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith graceful ease, Harlee savored the shrimp Rhys had prepared, her expression marked by a subtle smile. She responded calmly, "Just a routine visit to the military base." Nathaniel nearly choked on his soup at her understatement. Harlee's day had been anything but ordinary. This morning, she had decisively undermined the bravado of several resistant, highly skilled soldiers, yet she referred to these events as trivial. Those twenty soldiers were still out on the training field, over two hours later, none keen on retreating to their dorms.
Fernando, who maintained a close rapport with Nathaniel, had made a specific call knowing Harlee would be visiting the Green family residence today. Fernando had relayed that unless Harlee consented to lead their training, the soldiers had vowed to persist until she deemed them worthy. The intensity of their session had likely surpassed even the stern methods of Aldo Torres.
As Nathaniel reflected on Aldo, Zandra entered from outside. Upon seeing everyone gathered, she washed her hands and joined the family at the table.
"What's the discussion about?" she asked.
New updates in glovesZandra, Nathaniel's youngest and favored daughter, was one of the few who could freely speak her mind to him. Setting his utensil down, Nathaniel explained with lively energy, "Fernando informedthat today Harlee had dealt with Baythorn's best recruits roughly at the central military base. Initially, those recruits resisted accepting Harlee as their instructor, voicing their objections loudly. However, right after the harsh lesson...” Harlee had inflicted on them, they remain on the training field, insisting they will continue the training session until Harlee agrees to be their instructor. Their resolve is unbreakable, and no one has been able to dissuade them." Belinda was astonished. A military instructor? She quickly shifted her gaze toward Harlee. She couldn't understand why those soldiers had made that request. But given Harlee's competence, Belinda was confident she was up to the task.
Jose, equally taken aback, admired Harlee even more. He understood the challenge of gaining entry into the military. Yet, here was his daughter-in-law, not only qualifying as an instructor but also so adept that the recruits pleaded for her leadership.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJose briefly considered whether the qualifications for the instructor role had been lowered. This fleeting thought dissipated quickly as he knew well the stringent requirements of military service. Without genuine capability, no amount of connections would suffice. If Harlee lacked the skills, she certainly wouldn't be in the position to teach, nor would the recruits be so eager for her mentorship.
Jose found the entire situation quite astonishing.
Amid the expressions of surprise around her, Harlee continued eating nonchalantly, treating the discussion as just another routine family conversation.
After making his remarks, Nathaniel turned to Harlee and asked, "What's ve your decision on this?"
Fernando had specifically asked Nathaniel to sway Harlee since the recruits were seen as promising Ne. However Nathaniel preferred to leave the final decision to Harlee, confident she would choose to be the soldiers' instructor.
Harlee, chewing on a shrimp, looked up and responded evenly, "I'm not swayed by their tactics to compelinto agreeing. It's a weak strategy, so I won't accept."
