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

Chapter 1674:

She ended the call abruptly before Kieran could respond, leaving no room for further discussion.

Kieran, initially downhearted, perked up immediately. He caught Lenny passing by and said with a sly grin, “Lenny, do you know any mathematicians? Get in touch with them right away! Harlee wants to meet them soon for dinner!”

“No,” Lenny responded without even a glance.

Undeterred, Kieran continued smoothly, “Harlee mentioned that if we manage this, she’ll review our latest research project.”

“I can bring at least three people,” Lenny promptly replied.

“Great, I’ll find the other two,” Kieran said confidently, already planning to reach out to old schoolmates he hadn’t contacted in years.

Little did they know, this casual arrangement for a mathematicians’ meeting would lead to a groundbreaking discovery in a new field of knowledge, shaking the academic world.

At the Uwhor seaside villa, Lexus faced Harlee, his expression turning pale as he remembered his reason for visiting.

After dismissing Ableson, Lexus turned to Harlee and said, “I need a favor. My irresponsible son left Ableson in my care and disappeared for years. Now, he suddenly wants to take Ableson back. I suspect my son has ulterior motives, and I want to cut all ties with him.”

Lexus had made his decision after much deliberation. Originally planning to bring Ableson to Mogluylia to find Harlee, he was surprised to learn she was in Uwhor.

Lexus had only heard from an old friend about Gilmore’s plans. Gilmore hadn’t yet informed Lexus of his desire to take Ableson back.

Knowing his son, Lexus was certain Gilmore’s intentions were nefarious. Gilmore had become entangled in Uwhor’s political circles, not with reconciliation in mind, but driven by deeper, darker motives.

Lexus bitterly recognized that Gilmore’s ambitions knew no bounds. He would sacrifice anything, even his own son, for a shot at a brighter future. As for a conscience, Gilmore seemed devoid of one.

Robbie’s eyes flashed with a steely glint upon hearing this. Gilmore was ruthless, stopping at nothing to achieve his goals.

Robbie managed to keep his emotions in check and asked, “Professor Moreno, what’s your plan?”

Suddenly, Rhys’ warning from yesterday’s meeting echoed in Robbie’s mind: Make safety arrangements. Something big might happen in Uwhor. Why did it seem like Rhys was onto something?

Harlee lounged on the sofa, chin propped on her hand, listening intently but with a detached air. Her posture was relaxed, her demeanor untroubled. However, she chimed in after Lexus voiced his concerns.

“Professor Moreno, I understand your worries. Rest assured, with me here, Ableson is safe.”

Tears welled up in Lexus’ eyes as he nodded gravely and then shared his fears.

“He might use Ableson to further his political career… Harlee, be cautious. Gilmore is merciless. He bears no love for me, his father, nor for you, someone who has always clashed with him. He might even be plotting against you, knowing you’re in Uwhor.”

The bitterness in Lexus’ voice was palpable. If he could, he would choose solitude over having such a son.

Harlee’s expression remained composed as she tapped her knee rhythmically. She glanced around the room, her voice steady and calm.

“Oh, he’s already tried to take me down, but without success.”

Lexus and Robbie stared, taken aback by her revelation.

After a moment of silence, Lexus asked, “Harlee, are you saying that Gilmore has already made an attempt on your life? When did this happen? Were you hurt?”

Robbie’s attention snapped to Harlee. She had just mentioned an attack by Gilmore? Seriously? He was at the villa every day. How had he not heard anything about it?
