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

Chapter 1745:

Meanwhile, Harlee nonchalantly picked up an apple from the stone table, took a bite, and casually remarked, “No need to act like you didn’t overhear. I’ll settle the Wallace matter before I leave Winbrough.”

Ulises stepped forward from a corner.

“My grandmother said we shouldn’t bother you. Harlee, could this conflict with the Wallace family backfire on you? It’s just constant harassment at school. Virginia and I can handle it.”

Harlee quirked an eyebrow.

“Don’t you know about the Sanderson family’s influence in Baythorn? I have shown who I am. There’s no trouble here for me.”

Ulises fell silent. Indeed, even formidable figures like Michael respected the Sanderson family. The Wallace family was no match for Harlee. Harlee wasn’t the same vulnerable girl from the Gill family days.

“But…”

Ulises faltered, not wanting to feel further indebted, but he knew he already owed her more than he could ever repay. Gratefully, he said, “Thank you.”

Robbie cleared his throat, changing the topic.

“Harlee, we’ve done what we came for.”

“Nyomi. Now that we’ve addressed the pressing matters in the city, should we head back to deal with them?”

Earlier, Deniz and Ivy had been eager, insisting that Harlee and her group stay for dinner. They had just finished some tasks in the fields and were likely on their way back after leaving earlier.

Aware of the Swain family’s modest means, Robbie didn’t want them to overextend themselves for dinner, so he devised a pretext related to urgent work. He had planned to use this excuse, but Rhys’ call had interrupted him, delaying his announcement.

Harlee drained her glass, set it on the stone table, and stood up.

“We should head back.”

True to her nature, Harlee left immediately after her statement, without any further discussion.

Ulises knew her well enough not to detain her or follow. Instead, he simply watched her exit.

Back in the presidential suite’s living room at the hotel, a discussion was underway.

“What’s the Wallace family’s strategy for dealing with Virginia and Ulises?” Lounging comfortably in Rhys’ embrace, Harlee sipped her water, her demeanor relaxed.

“Do they intend to start with Ivy or focus on Winbrough University?”

Rhys gave a small smile.noveldrama

“Both.”

“Makes you wonder, are Ivy and Eloise really sisters?” Harlee’s lips twisted into a sardonic smile, her eyes gleaming sharply.

Rhys caressed her hair tenderly, his voice soothing.

“Ever since your trip to Sunnydale, you’ve been quite involved with the Swain siblings. I’m starting to feel a bit jealous.”

Harlee looked up and huffed softly.

“Your charm’s increasing, shamelessly so.”

“Really?” Rhys grinned.

Beside them, Thiago felt awkward. Did they really have to be so openly affectionate? He was still in the room!

Catching Thiago’s discomfort, Harlee nudged him lightly.

“Call Virginia and warn her about what’s coming.”

Thiago quickly wiped the inappropriate look from his face. The thought of the Wallace family’s deceitful schemes flashed through his mind, jolting him into action.
