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

Chapter 1641:

“Even though I’m not well-regarded right now, I can assure you that having me on your side is no small matter!” Elva declared, draping her right arm around Harlee’s shoulders reassuringly.

“Don’t worry. Finding out who’s behind these rumors will take just a few minutes if I put my mind to it.”

Harlee remained still, allowing Elva to rest her hand on her shoulder. A playful smile tugged at Harlee’s lips.

Harlee found Elva, her future sister-in-law, somewhat different from what she had envisioned, yet Elva still appealed to her tastes.

Elva said confidently, “Honestly, I don’t even need to dig around to know who’s gossiping about me. It’s simply because I’m young and have already discovered a new antibiotic, while they’re still aimlessly toiling in their labs. How pathetic of them.”

With a solemn nod, Elva added, “If slandering me makes their lives any easier, I’m more than willing to be their scapegoat. After all, I’ll be returning to serve my country next year. Consider it a preemptive act of kindness on my part.”

Harlee’s expression remained composed, her lips curving into an enigmatic smile. Her deep, dark eyes were contemplative, giving nothing away. She gently lifted Elva’s hand from her shoulder, saying softly, “Yes, they are quite pathetic.”
