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

Chapter 1498:

While typing, Brenton instructed his assistant to arrange for someone to clean up the scene.

When Brenton received confirmation that the cleanup crew would arrive in three minutes, he composed another message for Rhys: “Let Harlee know the cleanup begins in three minutes. She should focus on her mission.”

Brenton refrained from messaging Harlee directly, uncertain if she could check her phone at the moment. Since Rhys was heading in the same direction, he assumed they had their own way of coordinating.

Waiting anxiously for Harlee to finish her call, Trenton knelt before her, nerves gripping him like a vice. Any thoughts of escape evaporated. Pleading seemed his only hope, so he chose to beg for mercy.
