Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 18

The other maids waved their hands in panic. “Keep your voice down! Ms. Fuller is upstairs. Don’t let her hear you!”

“I don’t care!” Holly scoffed, her voice dripping with disdain. “Ms. Fuller? More like Miss Vixen! How else could she have bewitched Mr. Lawson Senior, leaving Ms. Kayla behind and insisting on having her as the future Mrs. Lawson?”

As she vented her frustrations, she didn’t notice the fine white powder falling from above. A speck landed right in her mouth.

She spat, tasting something bitter but finding nothing. It was probably just dust, she thought, ready to continue her tirade against Felicia when one of the other maids pointed at her in horror.

“Why is your face suddenly so swollen?”

“What?”

Holly opened her mouth to retort but found she couldn’t. Realizing something was off, she rushed to find

mirror. What stared back was a face so swollen it looked like a pig’s head.

A shrill scream escaped her lips. What had happened to her face? Her lips were puffed up like sausages!

While Holly panicked, she stumbled backward. Just as she fell, she caught a glimpse of Felicia standing on the second floor.

She had just been talking badly about Felicia, and now she looked like a pig! Could it be Felicia’s doing?

Fear and anger churned inside her. Luckily, Nora came to check on her. “Looks like an acute allergic reaction. Take some medicine, and you’ll be fine in a few days.”

Holly finally felt a bit of relief. When she looked back at the second floor, Felicia had already walked to the living room.

Felicia remained as composed as ever, ignoring the mixed glances of pity and mockery from the maids. And as always, she headed out the door.

Nora gave her niece a stern lecture. “This is what you get for not knowing when to keep your mouth shut! No more bad raouthing Ms. Fuller behind her back, got it?”

Holly nodded but didn’t take it to heart.

As usual, Felicia headed to the Harmony Medical Center. She had to go to work no matter what happened.

Before stepping into the medical center, she looked back as she had a nagging feeling that someone was following or watching her.

But as she glanced back, she found no one was there.

She turned her gaze away, but in that fleeting moment, no one noticed the glimmer in her eyes or the slight upturn of her lips.

In her previous life, around this time, Kayla wanted to get rid of Felicia quickly and used Marvin to set up a kidnapping scheme. The victim ended up being Kayla herself, and the blame fell squarely on Felicia.

This had infuriated Myra and Dexter, leading them to consider disowning Felicia. Although they ultimately held back due to blood ties, resentment had simmered beneath the surface.

ONLYDER

But this time? With Matthew publicly announcing his intentions to unite the families, Kayla had likely lost. her composure. Rather than frame her, she would probably make Felicia disappear.

Felicia smiled to herself.

She had been waiting for this for a long time.
