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

Chapter 1656:

“Harlee, I’m sorry. I acted out of jealousy. Seeing you with Thiago made me want to hurt you. I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me? Please, don’t pull your investments from the Cavendish family.”

Her plea was earnest. Failing to secure forgiveness would mean that even if she continued living at Cavendish Manor, her existence would be less dignified than that of a servant.

Harlee’s gaze darkened, an icy coldness emanating from her eyes as she looked indifferently at Celine, who was attempting to evoke pity to garner forgiveness.

Harlee’s lips curled slightly as she said, “Hmm? Isn’t it barely dawn yet?”

Celine, momentarily stunned by Harlee’s response, quickly grasped the implied dismissal. She clenched her fists, grinding her teeth, and struggled to contain her rising resentment. After a tense moment, she slowly bent her knees and knelt with a heavy thud, drawing the attention of numerous passing students.

The spectacle caught the eyes of many. Whispers filled the air as students recognized Celine, known for her previous arrogance and haughtiness at Uwhor University. Seeing Celine now kneeling before Harlee shocked them, and crowds began to gather, some foregoing their classes to speculate on the drama unfolding.

This public display was part of Celine’s strategy. She hoped that the judgment of the onlookers would coerce Harlee into granting forgiveness, mending their relationship, and thereby securing continued investment from Thiago’s alliance for the Cavendish family.
