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

Chapter 703: Fletcher gave a derisive snort and then, as if flipping a switch, his demeanor softened when he addressed Harlee.

Harlee, go inside.

I have a matter to discuss with this guy.

Caught off guard by the sudden change in his tone, Harlee hesitated and then cleared her throat politely.

Of course, Ill go inside.

She understood that Lonnie had probably sanctioned this, so she didnt protest.

Instead, she shot Rhys a sympathetic look that seemed to say, Hang in there.

Once Harlee had retreated, Fletcher turned to Rhys again, his smile sharp and knowing.

Need a few decades to brace yourself for our competition? Rhys understood that Fletcher was referring to the fishing competition.

Ignoring Fletchers condescending tone, Rhys kept his composure and responded softly, Thats not what I mean, Fletcher.

Ive almost finished preparing for the fishing.

If youre free today, we can start the competitionanytime.

Fletcher sneered, clearly unimpressed.

Feeling sure of yourself, huh? Fine.

Lets do this now.

Fletcher moved toward his car, but before getting in, he glanced back with a smirk.

Ill make sure you dont win today! Rhys smiled faintly and replied, Dont worry.

Even if you throw in the towel, I wont.

Fletcher brushed off the remark.

Surely, Rhys, a novice in such conditions, wouldnt stand a chance.

However, ten hours later, Fletcher was dumbfounded.

Are you sure you can keep going? he asked in disbelief.

It was well past midnight, and while Fletcher was utterly drained, Rhys appeared energized and ready for yet another round.

After nearly ten hours of fishing, Rhys had never once shown signs of weariness.

Each successful catch only prompted him to challenge Fletcher again.

More than a hundred rounds without any sign of fatigue! Rhys perseverance was nothing short of astonishing.

While his fishing skills were far from exceptional, Fletcher couldnt help but be impressed by Rhys endurance.noveldrama

Fletchers grudge toward Rhys softened.

Suddenly curious about his sisters relationship with Rhys, Fletcher broke the silence.

So, do you really have feelings for Harlee? He handed Rhys a bottle of wine and settled next to him.

Without hesitation, Rhys replied, Yes, I care about her deeply.

Was it love at first sight? Fletcher asked.

Rhys sipped his drink and replied thoughtfully, Sort of, but if I think about it more carefully, its more like love that grew over time.

About the shootout earlier… Fletcher had heard some details from Coulson, so he was aware that both Rhys and Harlee had been involved in the previous shootout.

I heard you took a bullet for Harlee? When Coulson mentioned it, Fletcher didnt believe it.
