Return of the Crowned Heiress Chapter 358
Return of the Crowned Heiress
âIt seems that this challenge wasnât enough to trouble her.â
Hearing this, Mauriceâs loyal subordinates became even more convinced that it was Maurice
who sent the assassins.
The subordinates thought that Maurice was taking things too far and playing with fire.
Maurice couldnât care less about what his men were thinking. He simply ordered, âKeep tailing her. Report back to me on any updates immediately.â
âYes, sir!â replied the subordinates.
After ending the call, Maurice glanced in the direction of Grandeur Hall and asked the subordinate behind him, âHow much did Kelsey spend hiring these people?â
The subordinate replied honestly, âTwo million dollars. Their rates are usually much higher, but since the target was just a young lady, they lowered it.â
Maurice couldnât hold back and burst out laughing.
Seventeen subordinates. It was supposed to be a sure win, but they had all been utterly
defeated.
âLetâs go. Grab some gifts and weâll pay that old lady a visit.â
Maurice, who was now on his feet, had long since abandoned his wheelchair. Although his arms had not healed entirely, it did very little to affect his uncontrollable temper.
At Grandeur Hall, Kelsey was in shock when the news reached her.
âWhat? All seventeen assassins couldnât even handle one young woman? Theyâre all useless!â
âMrs. Glovers Senior, please stay calm. Perhaps Mr. Gloverâs subordinates were simply too strong. With them protecting Felicia, itâs understandable that the attempt failed-â
âMaurice only sent four people! Seventeen against four, and they still lost? What a joke!â
Kelsey became increasingly furious, but before she could continue, she noticed one of the maids winking at her frantically. This meant that Maurice just got here and that she should
end the conversation.
Kelsey turned around and saw Maurice entering He was perfectly unscathed with no missing limbs, not even a scratch.
He carried himself as usual, wearing a fake, casual smile. Yet the air of authority radiating from him made her insides churn.
Kelsey clenched her fists.
Over the years, Maurice had solidified his position as the head of the Glovers family so thoroughly that he was basically untouchable.
Suppressing her anger, Kelsey forced a smile. âDear grandson, youâre here!â
âJust thought Iâd check in on you and bring some gifts to show my respect.â Maurice gestured, and his subordinates immediately stepped forward with an array of gifts. Every single gift was geared toward cooling down tempers and lowering blood pressure. Drinks, snacks, and even medication were neatly arranged before her.
Kelseyâs smile faltered. Her expression stiffened as she forced out the words, âHow thoughtful of you, dear. The weatherâs been so warm lately, and Iâve been feeling a bit⦠overheated.â
âReally? What a coincidence.â
He exchanged a few more pleasantries, watching as her expression grew darker with every word. Once he was satisfied, he turned back and left.
The moment Maurice was gone, Kelsey flipped the entire table of gifts onto the floor.
âThat ungrateful wretch! Bastard!
âMrs. Glovers Senior, please calm down. Donât hurt yourself.â The maid tried to console her, only for Kelsey to grab her wrist tightly.
âDid you see the way he looked just now? So arrogant, so smug! That little bastard! If he could kill his own father and brother, itâs only a matter of time before he drives me to my grave!!
Kelsey kept muttering, and a thought consumed her mind. She had to avenge her son and grandson.
âIf one attempt isnât enough, Iâll try again. Iâll spend more money to hire fearless assassins, Whatever it takes to get rid of that bastard and reclaim the Gloversâ name!â
