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

Chapter 1367:

Serena and Tania now shared a living space. To keep the operation under wraps, Harlee chose not to involve Serena. Instead, Harlee brought Jianna over from T&H Island.

“Harlee,” Jianna called out.

As Harlee looked up, Jianna questioned, “Will it cause suspicion if I just appear out of nowhere? Should we prepare more thoroughly?”

Harlee’s expression hardened as she replied, “No need. Tania isn’t that sharp.” If Tania had been clever, she wouldn’t have let her own actions give her away.

Harlee was certain that Tania had spun the tale about being bullied by a group of men after her supposed rebirth. Nola, knowing Tonya as she did, was sure Tonya would never have arranged that sort of plot.

Jianna gave a nod and moved aside. Just then, Robbie and Patrick arrived together.

“Any news?” Harlee asked, glancing up at them.

Robbie took the lead in reporting, saying, “You were right, Harlee. A woman named Nola Happer had indeed been grooming Tania.”

Tania, originally Shayla Happer, was a mountain girl Nola had found. Shayla was nimble and excellent at assuming other identities.

“A month before our island visit, Shayla was assimilated into those islanders. After orchestrating a show where she was assaulted by men, she was relocated to a mountain cave, and her identity went unquestioned from then on,” Robbie said, dragging out the end of his sentence. “Thiago had to be extremely careful to discover this without alerting anyone.”

“Is it my turn yet?” Patrick chimed in, his eyebrows arching in anticipation.

“If you’re done, I’m ready to share my findings. They’re quite intriguing!” Patrick added specifically.

Robbie responded with a dismissive roll of his eyes.

Robbie’s familiarity with Patrick had reached a point where they could predict each other’s actions without uttering a word. As Robbie launched an attempt to catch Patrick off guard, Patrick deftly sidestepped and realigned, eagerly asking, “Harlee, are you aware of Nola’s latest disguise? Indeed, you’ve hit the nail on the head. She’s currently hiding under the guise of a member safeguarded by the Happer family in Baythorn! Isn’t it fascinating to think about how she integrated herself into the Happer family?”

Continuing his train of thought, Patrick added, “That’s correct! She’s impersonating Serena!”

This news did not surprise Harlee. Serena had remarked the previous evening that the Happers in Baythorn had not sought their lost daughter. This either indicated a lack of concern or that an imposter had taken her place. While Harlee wasn’t deeply knowledgeable about the Happer family, she was well-versed in Nola’s tactics. The idea of “a young child’s identity being stolen” might seem incredible, but with Nola as the impersonator, it turned entirely plausible.

Nola possessed endless strategies for altering the truth and adeptly masking her identity. The only piece Harlee couldn’t figure out was how Nola had evaded the DNA checks. At the time of Serena’s rescue, Serena’s relationship with the Fletcher family hadn’t yet fully deteriorated. Could it be that Nola was aware of Serena’s identity then and utilized Serena’s DNA to finalize her scheme?noveldrama

This realization made Harlee shudder. She had not previously considered that Nola’s plot had been underway for over a decade.

With a stern tone, Harlee questioned, “Is there anyone monitoring our location?”

Patrick, noticing Harlee’s undisturbed demeanor, felt a surge of frustration and dejectedly commented, “So far, no one has been detected, but it’s hard to guarantee that we’re completely unobserved. All I can say for sure is that no one is close enough to overhear our confidential talks.” Should that happen, Rhys’ prestige as the leader of Sovereign of the Underworld would be compromised.
