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

Chapter 995:

Green.”

Rhys didn’t acknowledge Christopher’s greeting. Instead, he walked past him and casually sat on the single sofa, leaning back, his gaze indifferent as he looked at Christopher.

“Christopher, you’ve developed feelings for Anika.”noveldrama

Rhys’ even tone suggested his certainty of this conclusion.

Christopher immediately felt uneasy and ashamed.

He knelt on the floor.

“Mr. Green, I’ve broken the rules. Please punish me as you see fit.”

Christopher had indeed started caring for Anika, especially after the intimate moments they shared.

His heart had completely melted.

Rhys sat with his legs crossed, lazily flipping through the documents on the table.

The room was silent, except for the soft rustling of pages.

Christopher, seeing Rhys focused on the documents, nervously swallowed. Rhys’ silence was more terrifying than the prospect of death.

With his head lowered, Christopher said, “Mr. Green, I know I shouldn’t have developed interest in someone like her, but…

But I can’t control my feelings. She’s captivating when she’s with me.

At first, I just wanted to complete the mission, but after being with her… I couldn’t help…”

. com brings magic to life

Christopher had expected Rhys to eventually find out about his feelings for Anika, but not this soon.

Rhys closed the file with a sharp motion, raising his hand to throw it forcefully at Christopher’s forehead.

His voice was commanding.

“You’ve fallen for the daughter of the man who killed your father.

Christopher, don’t forget your vow!”

The impact was so strong that it left a gash on Christopher’s forehead, blood trickling down, but he didn’t flinch. Rhys’ words hit him harder.

Christopher was stunned.

He even spat blood, overwhelmed by the conflicting emotions that surged within him.

Rhys stared coldly at Christopher, who was shocked to the point of spitting blood, his face contorted as if he might burst from the weight of the revelation. With an even tone, Rhys said, “I had warned you before that Anika was your sworn enemy, and you were never to fall for her.

But you didn’t take my words seriously.”

A single tear of remorse slid silently down Christopher’s cheek.

During the strategy meeting, Rhys had explicitly forbidden Christopher from forming attachments, yet Christopher still developed feelings for Anika.

Before, Christopher had vowed to avenge his father’s murder, but before he could gain the strength needed, the culprit had already perished.

His chance for retribution had vanished.
