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

Chapter 1670:

Before he could finish, Harlee interjected, “Absolutely not. If you repeat the mistake of not stopping when I ask, you’ll find yourself sleeping in the study.”

Rhys’ face stiffened, his striking features now looking somewhat pitiful, his voice filled with resignation as he said, “Well, I might manage for a few days.”noveldrama

In that moment, the usually assertive CEO vanished, replaced by a man resigned to his fate. Rhys, afraid of Harlee, seemed willing to play the role of a hen-pecked husband.

“Now you’re talking,” Harlee remarked casually, holding her tablet. She moved from the sofa to the bed, lying down comfortably to continue watching the variety show.

Rhys pinched the space between his eyebrows, letting out a sigh. It seemed Harlee hadn’t decided when he could stop sleeping on the sofa, and he knew he needed to do something to change her mind. Should he tempt her with food or charm? Hmm… It seemed there was only one choice…

Inside the silent study of the Happer family estate, the chill was palpable. Outside, thunder roared, and lightning flashed.

Errol sat in an antique armchair, watching Nola, who stood opposite him. Her usual confidence was gone, replaced by a grim demeanor and a tense expression. Errol’s wrinkled face showed a hint of displeasure. He planned to keep Nola waiting in the cold for a while longer.

Nola had changed significantly after reconnecting with the family two years ago. She was no longer the likable woman she once was; instead, she always seemed to challenge Errol, as if harboring a deep resentment toward him.

Moshe stood next to Errol, his expression stern, his presence nearly as imposing as Errol’s.

In the Happer family, Moshe held a position second only to Errol, due to his indispensable contributions to the family’s success.

Moshe’s gaze at Nola grew colder, sensing Errol’s displeasure.

“Miss Happer, your grandfather extended the announcement period for naming the new head of the Happer family for your sake, yet you still show no respect. Are you trying to dishearten him?” Moshe said.

Errol’s expression softened slightly at Moshe’s words. He picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Nola responded with a dismissive “Oh.”

She was accustomed to Moshe’s attitude and wasn’t angered by it, but she certainly didn’t agree with his statement. Extending the announcement period for her sake? That felt hypocritical. Everyone knew Errol favored Davenport to be the acting head, who was currently confined to a hospital bed, and that was the sole reason for the postponement.

Now, without the support of the Cavendish family, Nola could no longer afford to be defiant. She glanced at Errol’s face and said in a controlled tone, “Grandpa, I apologize. I was distracted just now.”

Errol waved his hand dismissively.

“I know you’re a good girl. Just make sure you behave in the future. I won’t hold this against you this time. Now, go and clear your head.”

Nola paused before nodding firmly at Errol.

“It won’t happen again. I’ll take my leave to handle my responsibilities now.”

With that, Nola turned and quickly left the study, not allowing Errol another chance to scold her. This was as far as she was willing to compromise. Anything more, and she would not hesitate to push back openly.

After Nola’s departure, Moshe approached Errol with a grave expression. He leaned in and reported respectfully, “Mr. Happer, Ms. Sanderson, whom Miss Happer views as a formidable adversary, seems to be linked to the Cavendish family’s downfall. With no support from Celine, Miss Happer’s influence has significantly weakened.”

Following the Cavendish family’s decline, Moshe had dispatched his men to investigate and had tried to intervene to salvage their family’s fortunes. However, his efforts had yielded nothing substantial. The more he intervened, the quicker the Cavendish family seemed to crumble. It appeared someone had anticipated his every move, always staying a step ahead.
