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

Chapter 1621:

Harlee then slowly reholstered her gun, her eyes shadowed with a chilling menace.

This was the Harlee that Stefan knew all too well. She seldom wasted words when a show of force could impart a clearer message.

Stefan sensed that his days of peace were likely over.

“Harlee, I…”

Harlee cut off Stefan’s feeble attempt to ingratiate himself and said coldly, “Handle the Happer family matter properly, and you’re forgiven. Fail, and I’ll hand you over to Aldrich!”

Stefan paused, stunned. Was being delivered to Aldrich meant to be a threat?

Then, it dawned on him, and he trembled in fear, the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably. One thought dominated his mind: he was doomed.

Serena stared at Stefan, who shifted between vowing and pleading. Her shock was evident as she stood frozen, her lips parted in astonishment.

“Harlee, he…”

Serena wanted to express her concerns about Stefan’s odd behavior and reliability.

In the end, Serena chose her words carefully, saying, “Harlee, he… He’s quite unique. Does he belong to Twilight as well?”

Just then, Stefan seemed to finally notice Serena. His lip curled into a playful smile as he teased, “Well, who do we have here? What a pretty lady.”

It was the first time since joining the Shadow Moon Society that Serena had been openly flirted with. Her ears blushed red, and her cheeks flushed like ripe apples.

Stefan, unaccustomed to such bashful reactions, was immediately captivated. But in an instant, Serena produced a thick needle from her sleeve.

“Hey! What are you doing?” Stefan recoiled in alarm.

“Harlee, where did this monster come from?”

Harlee, her gaze sharpening with menace, slowly asked, “I need to see Davenport in ten minutes. Is that clear?”

Stefan’s demeanor shifted to one of gravity. Having reestablished contact with Harlee, he was reluctant to part ways so soon. He thoughtfully considered the information at hand, including Errol’s distrust of Nola. He said, “Harlee, although your skills should make infiltrating the Happer manor straightforward, I recommend waiting three days.”

Harlee zeroed in on the key point, her brow furrowing.

“Errol doesn’t trust Nola?”

“Yes, I overheard it by chance. It seems he suspects that Nola attacked Davenport and has little faith in her leading the family.”

Stefan continued to share insights from his recent inquiries, “The Happer family is backed by mysterious experts who stay hidden but cause significant turmoil when they do emerge.”noveldrama

A sly smile played on Harlee’s lips.

“I hadn’t realized the Happer family was this complicated. Interesting. Even Nola, who’s always so good at making people happy, doesn’t bother to lower her head to them. Hehe. How intriguing.”

She tapped her phone a few times and then looked up.

“Hold off for now. I’ll send further instructions in a few days.”

“Understood.”

Stefan wasn’t sure what Harlee’s intentions were, but he still followed through without question. After all, offending her was not something he could risk. He had learned this lesson the hard way, through painful memories.

Once Stefan had left, Serena couldn’t hold back any longer and asked the question that had been on her mind, “Harlee, is he one of us?”

“Not really.”

Harlee turned around smoothly and slid into the car.

Serena was quick to follow, taking the driver’s seat. She released the handbrake, ignited the engine, and they vanished into the dense woodland.
