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

Chapter 1694:

“Grandpa, what’s your next move? How do you plan to quell the dissenters?”

Nola’s voice was icy, her sneer deepening as she confronted Errol’s uncertain expression.

“Grandpa, I knelt when you asked me to. Now, am I not allowed to know what comes next? Or does my humiliation mean nothing to you?”

Nola didn’t keep pushing, her voice tinged with helplessness. Until she was strong enough, she wouldn’t outright defy Errol. Over the years, her defiance had always stayed within his tolerated limits.

Errol felt a surge of anger at Nola’s persistent questions, but her forlorn expression quelled his wrath. Given Nola’s sacrifices for his scheme, he decided to overlook her slight insubordination this time.

Errol’s face softened as he addressed her with a gentler tone.

“Nola, it’s not about trust, but this plan is critical and must be executed flawlessly! I assure you, Harlee will meet an unfavorable fate. Why are you so concerned about the details? Do you not trust me?”

His words served both to reassure and to caution Nola. Errol could not afford a granddaughter who questioned his motives. If Nola persisted in causing trouble, not only might she lose her chance at leading the Happer family, but her place in the manor itself could be jeopardized.
