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

Chapter 885:

His voice cracked with desperation, echoing through the space like a raw wound.

Tonya rolled her eyes, her disdain evident. She had never met such a shameless man. She was taken aback by Hale’s ability to discuss harassing women with such composure and eloquence, as well as his audacity to question why he couldn’t be the one standing by Harlee’s side. She wanted nothing more at that moment than to slap him in the face.

The only thing you’ve worked hard at is causing Harlee trouble. You know she despises drugs, but instead of helping her eliminate them, you helped drugs circulate.
