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

Chapter 1319:

Rhys, seated on a wooden stool next to Harlee, nodded appreciatively. He admired her straightforward approach to decision-making.

Everyone had formed a rough plan after Serena explained the situation of Paulina and the Fletcher family. Robbie was the first to rise and say, “Here’s the data I’ve gathered. Handling the Fletcher family won’t be difficult, but taking on the Happer family might require more careful preparation.”noveldrama

Harlee responded with a firm tone, “Your input is valuable, but my priority is dealing with Samson immediately, even if it means confronting the Happer family. We need to be thoroughly prepared.” The room fell silent upon her declaration, gazing at her.

In Vloustin City, the Happer family represented only a minor faction of the extensive Happer clan, which included members abroad and in Baythorn. Handling the local Happer family alone might be feasible, but clashing with the entire clan would necessitate calling their forces from the T&H Island back.

This was why Robbie had recommended making thorough preparations before moving forward. There were simply too many uncertainties.

Near Harlee, Serena felt a surge of anger as the conversation about dealing with Samson progressed. Her hands, concealed beneath her sleeves, shook with hatred for him.

After a while, Serena broke the silence, saying, “Harlee, I have just one question.”

“Go ahead,” Harlee responded in a measured tone.

“Is there any assurance that we will emerge from this operation unharmed? If not, I’m prepared to undertake it alone. You would just need to watch my back.” Serena’s demeanor was calm. The Shadow Moon Society had suffered enough losses, and she was firm in her resolve to avoid further harm.

All eyes then turned to Harlee.

“I can’t provide that assurance, just as I couldn’t ensure everyone’s safety before,” Harlee said, keeping her emotions in check. “However, I will honor everyone’s decisions. As for your need for me to watch your back, we can rely on each other for support.”

Just then, Robbie offered a reassuring smile. “We wouldn’t be part of the Shadow Moon Society if we were faint-hearted.”

They didn’t say anything explicitly, but Harlee understood their meaning clearly. Suddenly, she found herself unsure of how to handle the situation. After two years of peace, she had become unaccustomed to violence and preferred not to expose them to danger, seeking only their advice.

Patrick interjected promptly, “Harlee, you don’t need to solicit our agreement. We might have stepped back, but we haven’t lost our edge. We’ll follow your lead.”

With his words, everyone in the room, except for Harlee and Tania, rose to their feet and gazed at Harlee, their resolve clear in their steady gaze. Harlee hadn’t anticipated a return to their old ways. She sat quietly, overwhelmed by mixed emotions as she looked at them. After a long pause, she stood up and said, “I understand. I will take care of the details regarding our plan to handle the Fletcher family.”

With this, Harlee got up and walked out of the study, entirely forgetting about Rhys, who had been by her side.

That evening, Rhys remained in the home theater of Remson Manor. Reclining on the plush sofa, his expression stormy and brooding, he felt like a balloon stretched to its limits.

Earlier, when Rhys had noticed things taking the wrong turn in the study at dusk, he had tried to intervene. However, one by one, everyone in the room had voiced their commitments, inadvertently forcing Harlee into a corner. The meeting concluded exactly the way he had hoped to prevent.
