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

Chapter 1708:

The groups collided. Darin’s heart fluttered with unease at the sight of Harlee. He wondered if he had previously crossed this influential figure.

Ashley’s expression darkened upon seeing Harlee. If not for Harlee, Elva would have fallen under her manipulations, instead of thriving with an early internship. Harlee was solely to blame, notoriously haughty in Mechuique simply because of her family wealth!

Harlee cast a cool glance over the group, her gaze pausing briefly on Serena before moving on. Despite her attempt to remain inconspicuous, her striking features drew attention.

Harlee continued forward, her stride unhindered by the crowd.

When Serena spotted Harlee, her expression brightened momentarily, almost greeting Harlee. But a sharp look from Harlee reminded her to maintain their guise of unfamiliarity. Harlee had instructed that unless Nola made their connection public, they were to act as strangers.

Struggling to feign indifference, Serena adopted a stern demeanor, which Ashley interpreted as distaste for Harlee, deepening her respect for Serena.

Darin, catching this interaction, was conflicted but dared not displease Harlee. After settling Serena into her apartment, Darin planned a quick visit to the biology department to hasten Elva’s dismissal, hoping to keep Serena from any displeasure at Uwhor University.
