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

Chapter 1037



Chapter 1037:

“Harlee, I just can’t figure him out! He acts like a jerk but traveled all this way to help you and even gave you a solid plan for dealing with Matteo.

But then, he’s the same guy who betrayed you and got tangled up with Anika.

And now, he’s been at the hospital day and night, barely leaving your side, only letting me in during check-ups.”

Tonya’s confusion deepened the more she spoke. Rhys had clearly moved on to Anika, yet his actions suggested otherwise. Just the day before, when Anika confronted him about staying at the hospital for Harlee, he had walked off without even trying to placate Anika. In fact, he didn’t look like he cared about Anika’s feelings in the slightest.

And then, when Anika attempted to visit Harlee under the guise of being thoughtful, Rhys had Anika escorted out with a firm warning not to come here again.

Tonya was baffled. Was this the same Rhys who had seemed so enamored with Anika? Could he actually be thinking of rekindling things with Harlee?

Tonya couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t quite right. Rhys had been in a relationship with Anika, but his actions suggested his heart actually belonged to Harlee, and it seemed Rhys couldn’t care less about Anika.

“Rhys had been staying by my side around the clock just to look after me?” Harlee froze, completely caught off guard. She hadn’t imagined Rhys’ worn-out state stemmed from sleepless nights tending to her. If that were the truth, then what about Anika? Had Rhys neglected Anika entirely?

“You find it strange too, don’t you?” Tonya glanced at Harlee, noting the tension in her expression.

“By all logic, Rhys shouldn’t have shown up in Uwhor then, but it’s like he had an unexplainable instinct about you. Not only did he show up, but he saved you when it mattered most.” That much was undeniable.

Harlee had tried to figure out how Rhys managed to arrive in Uwhor with a team of skilled reinforcements precisely when she needed him.

“It feels like he’s orchestrating some masterful strategy, and we are merely his pawns.”

Tonya quickly raised her hand to interrupt.

“I might be a pawn, but you’re not!”

The very idea that Rhys would dare use Harlee as a pawn in his schemes seemed unfathomable to Tonya.

Harlee laughed softly at Tonya’s indignation.

“If being cheated on doesn’t make me a pawn, then what does?” After some reflection, she’d learned to smile at the absurdity of it all.

Tonya snorted and replied, “When you were with him, I thought he was so gentle.

But now I realize that kindness was reserved for you and, by association, your friends.

His cruelty toward traitors and Matteo matches your own merciless streak.”

Tonya had once vowed to avenge Ritchie and Harlee, but before she could act, Rhys had already dealt devastating blows. There wasn’t even an opportunity for her to intervene.

Matteo? Rhys had found Matteo? Harlee stared, stunned.

“What happened?” She’d been unconscious for an entire week and clearly missed a lot.noveldrama

“You’ll need to get the full story from Rhys, but from what I know, he captured Matteo and those traitors, making them endure the same poisoning you suffered.” Harlee blinked.

Did they die? Probably not! Tonya’s description of Rhys’ brutal tactics suggested something far worse.
