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

Chapter 1648:

Harlee crossed her legs, her gaze sharp and inscrutable. A slow, knowing smile tugged at the corner of her lips as she studied Karl. Arching a brow, she drawled, “Is this our first meeting?”

A stark contrast to his previously imposing demeanor, Karl now wore a mask of deference, his ever-present smile bordering on flattery.

“Yes. This is our first encounter, though I have seen you twice in Mr. Green’s video conferences.”

More importantly, Karl had seen Harlee at her wedding with Rhys.

Back then, when word had spread that the ownership of the Moonlit Bar had shifted from Rhys to his wife, Karl had nearly stormed into Rhys’ office, ready to raise hell. How could Rhys let him down like this after getting married?

Patrick had intervened just in time, telling Karl about Harlee’s accomplishments, sparing Karl from what could have been a disastrous outcome.

Since then, Karl had been anticipating meeting Harlee. He just hadn’t expected it to happen under these circumstances.

Harlee’s lips curled into an amused smirk as she leaned back, her tone as unhurried as she said, “Your subordinate was just about to throw me out.”
