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

Chapter 812:

Harlee’s sharp, steady gaze met Brice’s, a flicker of inner conflict evident.

After a beat, she placed her coffee down and said, “Yes. It was.”

Harlee knew even if she claimed it was unrelated, Brice wouldn’t believe her.

At her words, Brice’s hand instinctively rose to his chest, his heart pounding.

He had heard of someone named Hale troubling Harlee, but he initially thought it was just a case of a name coincidence and didn’t pay much attention to it. Recently, however, dealings with the Green Group revealed unsettling details, leading him to connect the dots.

After further investigation, he realized that Hale was the same man from back then.

Brice knew Harlee well enough to understand she wouldn’t have spared Hale unless there was no alternative. The sole reason she hadn’t acted harshly against Hale was because of him.

Outwardly, Harlee appeared aloof and unapproachable, but deep down, she was the most dependable and compassionate member of their circle.
