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

Chapter 1049

Chapter 1049:

“What do you want to do?” Rhys gripped her shoulders tightly, speaking in a low voice.

“Do you think they’ll get better if you act like this? No. You’ll only make them feel worse! Did you see Tonya? She also feels terrible, but she masks her feelings, not wanting you to be weighed down by guilt and self-reproach. What do you want to achieve by acting like this? Do you want everyone to share in your sadness?”

Rhys was determined to bring justice for Ritchie and Bart, and he felt Harlee’s self-condemnation was pointless.

Harlee’s eyes finally sparked with life at his words.

Her heart gave a small tremor, and she glanced up at him, as if wanting to speak but unable to find her voice.

She understood that those around her would be affected by her sorrow.

But did that mean she couldn’t be sad? Was she expected to be the unyielding leader who wouldn’t show vulnerability under any circumstance? Why? She was a real person with emotions. She had a family that cared for her and friends who meant the world to her. So why was it wrong for her to grieve? Did being a leader mean she had to bottle up all her emotions? Why should she?

Rhys stood before Harlee, seeing her bloodshot eyes. Initially, he felt she shouldn’t let her sorrow consume her, but now, a feeling of understanding washed over him.
