Celestial Queen: Revenge Is Sweet When You’re A Zillionaire Heiress

Chapter 992:

Harlee assumed he intended to manipulate Anika from behind the scenes against her, feeling he had certainly planned things out to his advantage. She once doubted time could alter everything, principles and decency included, but now, she was convinced. Time could indeed change a person completely. The Rhys she loved was…

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll expose your true colors?” Harlee asked coldly, holding up her phone.

Rhys laughed lightly.

“Go ahead and let’s see if my skills at charming women can outmaneuver whatever dirt you have on me.”

Rhys was deliberately baiting Harlee, aiming to draw her into the critical phase of his plan. Once that was in place, he could wipe out Eugenia and Anika in one decisive blow.noveldrama

A decisive blow. Oblivious to Rhys’ plan, Harlee looked at him with disappointment, struggling to reconcile the man she once loved with this despicable figure before her.

“Despicable?” Rhys read the disappointment in her gaze, smiling provocatively despite his inner turmoil.

“I like that description.”

Harlee’s expression was steely, her lips set in a firm line. It was clear she now saw him as her adversary.

Rhys finally let go of her wrist and spoke with cold finality.

“From now on, I’ll appear before you whenever I want, by whatever means necessary. You want to marry Noel? Over my dead body. I will do everything I can to disrupt your peaceful relationship with him.

Even though I don’t love you anymore, you’re still mine. No one else’s!” With that, Rhys turned and got into his car, slamming the door shut.

Harlee was left wondering what he meant. When had she become his possession? Standing by the roadside, she watched as Rhys’ car vanished into the distance. Just then, her phone rang with a call from Tonya. She answered in a daze.

“Harlee, Ritchie said he saw you with Rhys.

Are you okay? Did he do anything to you?” Despite Tonya’s anxious tone, the warmth her words brought was unmistakable.

Harlee shook off her thoughts.

“I’m fine. I can handle it.”

Her voice was tinged with a faint quiver as she was still processing the shock that came from her discoveries of Rhys’ true nature, her composure shattered.

Tonya noticed the tremor in her tone.

“Did Rhys hurt you? That bastard! I’ll make him pay!”

Harlee stared in the direction Rhys had vanished into, trying to steady herself.

“I’m fine… I am just surprised by how much a person can change.”

She didn’t relay Rhys’ earlier words, though the sadness they brought seeped into her tone.

“Harlee…” Tonya’s voice was full of sympathy.

Suddenly, Harlee saw things from a new perspective. Rhys had taught her how to love, and ironically, the topic of hatred as well. It seemed she was being toyed with. She shouldn’t let him affect her anymore. She still had responsibilities to fulfill and people to shield. Staying trapped in her emotions was no longer an option.
