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

Chapter 1726:

The guests exchanged incredulous glances, their minds struggling to comprehend what they had just heard.

Gilmore wasn’t just anybody—he was a rising force in the political world, a man countless people sought to align with. And yet, Lexus was publicly disowning him? And who exactly was Harlee? Lexus wasn’t just cutting off his own son—he was handing his entire fortune to a woman unrelated to him by blood, while his beloved grandson received nothing. Had Lexus lost his mind?

Whispers erupted throughout the banquet hall. The verdict among the guests was unanimous—Lexus had finally gone off the deep end.

Errol’s hand curled into a tight fist beneath the table. Fury burned beneath his skin. Lexus was actually giving everything to Harlee? The old man had lost it. Completely.

Nola, too, was barely holding herself together. She had always looked down on Lexus, but seeing the way he openly favored Harlee made her blood boil. Why did Harlee get everything handed to her so effortlessly, while Nola herself had been forced to scrape and bow just to cling to the Happer family’s coattails? It wasn’t fair! Not in any way!

The murmurs in the hall only grew louder, every pair of eyes fixated on Harlee, waiting for her reaction. But she remained as composed as ever, as if she were merely an observer in a drama that didn’t concern her.

Then, with effortless grace, Harlee turned to Lexus. Their eyes met, and after a brief pause, she spoke—calm, casual, yet firm.
