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

Chapter 1704:

As Harlee exited the living room, the group’s eyes briefly followed her before settling on Rhys, whose demeanor had notably darkened.

Without a word, Rhys grabbed his watermelon juice and trudged upstairs, his head bowed. Harlee had just shifted her focus from Aldrich and Alina when she expressed her desire to speak with him, undoubtedly about the bet they had made a month prior.

The thought of that dreadful wager made Rhys suddenly lose all desire to ascend the stairs.

Once Rhys had left, Robbie, unable to contain his curiosity, wedged himself into the center of the group and speculated, “What do you all reckon the ‘something’ Harlee mentioned is about? It’s the first time I’ve seen Rhys look so troubled. Something major’s up, no doubt!”

Cillian, momentarily lost in the aftermath of Harlee’s guidance, was jolted back to the present by Robbie’s speculation, returning to his typical stoic self. He took the seat nearest Robbie, looked around at the group’s astonished faces, and remarked coolly, “It does seem peculiar.”

Alina, Jianna, Aldrich, and Judson collectively widened their eyes. Had Cillian, known for his reticence, actually joined the ranks of the gossipers? It was utterly shocking!

Robbie, blissfully unaware of the stir he’d caused, continued to ponder Rhys’s earlier demeanor with intense interest.
