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

Chapter 984:

“Not intent on easing my burden, are you?”

“Uh-huh.” With a playful response, Harlee swiftly made her way to the large sofa, stretching out as though she were in the comfort of her own home.

Brenton watched her relaxed demeanor, grateful that the issues with Rhys seemed not to trouble her that deeply. It was a relief that Harlee had been free from the depressive bouts that used to afflict her ever since Noel had been by her side these past three years.

Regarding yesterday’s incident, Brenton was confident that Noel would help Harlee fully move past Rhys.

After a brief silence, Harlee inquired, “Is Rhys still in the VIP lounge?”

Brenton nodded, his face clouding with irritation.noveldrama

Had Rhys not been affiliated with the influential Preston Group, he would have already ejected Rhys from the Sanderson premises.

Harlee’s expression tensed when Brenton recounted his standoff with Rhys.

“You didn’t end up fighting him, did you?” she asked, her concern evident.

Brenton snorted.

“Humph, I refuse to stoop to brawling with someone of his type!”

Sipping her coffee, Harlee sighed and replied, “Leave Rhys and Anika to me. I’ll take care of them.”

“But how can I just…”

She interrupted, “I find it more gratifying to handle them personally.”

Brenton gazed at her with a mixture of frustration and resignation.

He knew her too well to know she simply used this as an excuse to keep the whole family from fretting over her personal matters.

Brenton exhaled deeply.

“Alas! We shouldn’t have endorsed your engagement to Rhys. We once thought he’d make you happy, but all he brought was anguish and turmoil. I will ask Kareem to round up some men to set him straight!”

Harlee nearly spat out her coffee, amused by Brenton’s unexpectedly juvenile attitude.

“Brenton, remember, Rhys is as skilled in fighting as I am.”

Frustrated, Brenton raked his fingers through his hair.

Setting down her coffee, Harlee smiled reassuringly.

“Let me handle this, okay?” She was determined not to let those close to her face dangers on her behalf anymore. Rhys’ current unpredictability and Anika’s dangerous nature were too much of a risk.

Downstairs, Dina and another board member ran into Anika, who was determined to confront Harlee but was halted at the reception.

Dina and the board member shared a glance, both eager for Anika to cause trouble for Harlee.

“Hold on.” Dina approached the reception.

“I know this lady. You can continue with your duties.” Anika eyed Dina with suspicion.

“Who are you?”

Dina smirked.

“My identity is insignificant here. What you need to know is that I can lead you to Harlee.” Dina had no intention of revealing her identity.
