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

Chapter 989:

Could the missing twenty percent of the certainty in his plan involve Harlee? But he couldn’t afford to dwell on it.

Eliminating traces of Anika’s investigation took precedence.

Anika wasn’t naive. Once she pieced things together, she would undoubtedly dig deeper.

He had to ensure his involvement remained concealed.

Nearby, Harlee’s cold gaze shifted to Eugenia. Slowly, she released Anika’s neck, a faint smile playing on her lips.

“Indeed, it has been a while.”

The exchange between Harlee and Eugenia was anything but casual—it spoke of shared history.

Even Anika, who considered herself Eugenia’s closest friend, found herself bewildered.

Clutching Eugenia’s hand, she whispered incredulously, “You know her?”

“Yes,” Eugenia replied calmly.

“I once helped her rescue a friend. In return, she promised me one favor.

But I didn’t think I truly saved anyone, so I didn’t take it to heart. I never expected to use it until now.”

Eugenia’s tone was measured, offering clarity without hiding the truth. She didn’t want to risk mistrust between her and Anika.

In reality, it wasn’t until yesterday that Eugenia learned Rhys’ previous fiancée was Harlee, the one she knew.

Alarmed for Anika’s safety, she broke her vow to stay away from Mogluylia and booked the next flight.

On her way, Eugenia learned that Anika was planning a confrontation with Harlee. She had bombarded Anika with urgent warnings, but Anika hadn’t responded. Left with no choice, Eugenia headed straight to the Sanderson Group and arrived just in time.

Anika’s face darkened.

Eugenia, her best friend, shared an unspoken connection with the one she loathed the most. The realization felt like a betrayal.

Leaning close, Eugenia whispered, “Don’t worry, Anika. I’m with you when it comes to Rhys.

But Harlee is no amateur. We can’t confront her recklessly.”

Anika nodded reluctantly. With Eugenia by her side, she felt a renewed sense of resolve.

Lowering her voice further, Eugenia added, “She’s furious right now, and this is her turf. We need to withdraw for now.

As for making her leave Rhys for good, we can plan that once we’re back. Once I have basic knowledge of her current strengths and resources, we’ll dismantle her defenses one by one. Then, with your new poison…” Eugenia didn’t finish, but her implication was clear.

Anika’s eyes glimmered with understanding.

“I’ve already offended her. You take the lead from here, and I’ll follow your lead.”

Eugenia nodded and said, “Relax. I still hold some sway with her. If she agrees to back off, she won’t retaliate unless provoked.

But don’t escalate things again.”noveldrama

“Okay, I get it.” Anika nodded.

Anika stared at Harlee, her hand tightly clasped behind her.
