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

Chapter 1320:

Rhys had been about to speak up, but Harlee had exited the room just as he opened his mouth, leaving him behind. This oversight ignited his anger. He was on the verge of erupting in rage.

Meanwhile, Harlee was in the kitchen preparing two glasses of juice, which she then took upstairs.

Upon her entrance into the theater, Rhys promptly donned his headphones, pretending to be engrossed in a film.

His attire still included the white shirt he had worn all day. His frustration had caused him to leave his cufflinks undone and several chest buttons open, subtly revealing his muscular chest under the dim lighting. Despite his furrowed brow and the intense, almost dangerous aura he exuded, there was an undeniable charm to his rugged appearance.

Harlee paused at the doorway, observing him a moment longer.

“Finished watching?” Rhys asked coldly, not even looking up. “Do you want me to take off my clothes and serve you the right way?” His tone lacked the usual playful flirtation, clearly showing his anger.

Harlee understood that his upset stemmed from the afternoon’s events. However, she felt compelled to act as she did. Without employing such tactics, Rhys would have opposed her travel to Vloustin City and might have even enlisted their parents to prevent her departure.

Indeed, the afternoon gathering had been merely a show for Rhys. Its purpose had been to secure his consent for her trip to Vloustin City. Harlee had already devised a thorough plan.noveldrama

As for Tania, Harlee had brought her along to keep her from overthinking. The truth was, Harlee had hardly given Tania any attention over the past two weeks.

Harlee approached with two glasses of juice and crouched beside Rhys, settling into a comfortable position. She extended one glass toward him and said gently, “Here’s some fresh juice I made. Give it a try.”

Rhys removed his headphones, his expression stern, and accepted the juice. After a reluctant sip, he fixed his gaze on her. “Is there anything else you need from me? You’re not going to overlook me again, are you?” His voice was tinged with barely restrained anger.

Since the meeting had wrapped up at dusk, Rhys had adopted a sarcastic tone. Harlee had indulged him, aware of her recent neglect. However, his increasing unreasonableness was wearing her patience thin.

“Rhys, if you continue with the sarcasm, I’m walking out!” Harlee sipped her juice with a cold demeanor.

Rhys snorted, set the juice aside, and reclined on the sofa, his feet propped up on the table, exuding a relaxed yet somewhat lazy air.

Harlee reached for his hand to touch her face.

Rhys glanced down at her briefly before quickly withdrawing his hand, asking irritably, “What are you doing?”

“Rhys, why don’t you give me a slap to vent your frustration?” Harlee suggested, maintaining a smile. She was serious. She had no idea how to calm down this frustrating man.

Rhys sputtered on his drink, nearly spitting it out as he looked up sharply and glared at her. “You might as well beat me to death!” Harlee simply smiled in response.

Rhys continued, “You think I’d hesitate to express my anger, right? Harlee, this is too much. How could you orchestrate this entire act just to get my approval for your trip to Vloustin City?” His anger had reached a boiling point.

Message from Noah:

I hope you’re enjoying the new chapters! More novels are on the way this week, so stay tuned to the website for updates.

I’m also working on a new section featuring VIP novels. This initiative is meant to help protect some of the website’s content, since a few sites have been copying everything I publish—even my messages.

In the near future, I’ll introduce a subscription model that will grant access to all these VIP novels. But don’t worry—free content will still be available. For example, if we release 10 novels, 6 will remain free while 4 will be VIP.

The idea behind the VIP novels is not only to prevent other websites from copying everything, but also to thank the people who support this project and help us keep the website running. I truly appreciate the kind messages you send me on WhatsApp and your constant support—thank you for being part of this community.

Lastly, my goal is to publish 1,000 novels, and I hope you, dear reader, will continue to enjoy this website along the way. God loves you, and Noah wishes you all the best. (=◡=)/
