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

Chapter 991:

Harlee looked down, casually tapping the hood of his car with her phone.noveldrama

“I don’t know what you’re plotting, but mark my words. If you hurt my family, I won’t let you off the hook.” Her gaze was sharp, filled with a chilling intensity.

Rhys was still processing the shock of her spotting him hiding in the corner.

He had assumed Harlee approached him because she sensed something off, not expecting she thought he would harm her family. In fact, hurting the Sanderson family was the last thing he would do.

Leaning casually against the car, Rhys grinned playfully, his brows raised in feigned challenge.

“I’m genuinely curious. Tell me. If I were to target the Sanderson family, what would you do to me?”

He was again stoking the fire, making Harlee’s animosity toward him grow.

“Try if you dare,” Harlee said, half-jokingly.

Rhys simply hummed in response, not offering any more words.

Harlee stood there, casually adjusting her sleeves as if unfazed by his words. Suddenly, she raised her fist toward his face, stopping just one centimeter from his charming eyes.

Her gaze was cold and unyielding, her lips curving into an icy smile.

“Next time, my fist won’t stop before your eyes.”

Rhys calmly grasped her wrist, pulling it down with gentle force, a grin still on his face.

“Miss Sanderson, I’ll keep these words in mind and never forget them.”

Harlee paused, realizing Rhys had no intention of harming her family.

He was simply trying to provoke her.

Confused by his true motives, Harlee felt a slight tension rise in her chest.

“What exactly do you want from me?”

Rhys smirked, his tone playful yet sincere.

“I just decided I didn’t want to leave you yet.”

Harlee raised her hand to strike Rhys, but he caught her wrist mid-air.

Standing tall in front of her, Rhys looked down with an air of superiority.

“Lee, remember this. It’s not that I can’t defeat you. It’s that I can’t bear to harm you physically. If you push me, though, don’t blame me for using dirty tactics.”

He called her Lee again.

His tone was tender, hinting at an unspoken message.

Harlee’s eyes narrowed with cold disdain. So, his true nature was finally revealed. She had been fooled by him before.

His words about abandoning her for someone else, the objections to her engagement—it had all been deception.

He was simply enjoying toying with her and Anika’s feelings.

Harlee gritted her teeth, speaking each word with deliberate clarity.

“I never imagined you excelled at putting on a convincing act.

But remember, I’m not Anika. I won’t lose myself over romantic interests. So, don’t even think you can trap me. You’re not worthy.”

“Then let’s see whether the Anika I trained is more formidable or your methods are more ruthless!” Rhys grinned, seemingly enjoying the tension.
