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

Chapter 755:

But when it came to Jose…

When Harlee lifted her gaze, she locked eyes with Jose. Was that disgust? Contempt? Malice?

Harlee instinctively narrowed her eyes, her brow furrowing. This was her first encounter with Jose.

Even if he disliked her, did he need to make it so blatantly obvious? Something about his hostility felt off, and she resolved to have Ritchie look into it once she returned home. She didn’t plan to involve Rhys, though—this was something she intended to handle quietly on her own.

Turning her focus back to the present, Harlee observed as Belinda and Jose bickered, their exchanges oscillating between quarrels and displays of affection. Unable to resist, she remarked, “Ree, your parents are something else. They’re full of energy and seem to have quite the passionate relationship.”

Having already deciphered how to win Belinda over and thoroughly offended Jose, Harlee saw no reason to hold back. She voiced her thoughts about the couple without sugarcoating, her sharp honesty cutting through the room. Respect wasn’t something she wasted on elders who didn’t earn it. If Jose weren’t Rhys’ father, she might have dealt with his hostility more directly—perhaps even forcefully.

Rhys remained unfazed by her comments, his tone steady as he replied, “Yeah, they’re quite the spectacle. Just think of it as watching a drama. If it gets too exhausting, we can head back to Remson Manor. Their approval doesn’t matter as long as my grandpa is on our side.”
