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

Chapter 1423:

Harlee widened her eyes. So, that was what this was about. Lucius was after her baby. He had let her stay in the room, sleep in the softest bed, and indulged her with the most lavish meals—all to keep the child inside her healthy and make sure it survived. All of this was just to keep it safe for his own twisted plans.

Lucius was playing a dangerous game. He’d poisoned Harlee, but the poison wouldn’t touch the baby. No, his calculation was coldly precise—the antidote was his only leverage. Without it, Harlee wouldn’t last long, but the child would be safe. It was all part of his cruel, twisted scheme.

How could anyone be so vile, so disgusting? The thought made her stomach churn with revulsion.
