Return of the Crowned Heiress Chapter 375
Return of the Crowned Heiress
âMs. Fuller, youâ¦â
The subordinates looked awkwardly at each other and whispered, âWe thought you would ask if we caught the hitmanâ¦â
âDid you catch him?â she asked.
âNoâ¦â
That day, as soon as she was attacked, the four of them rushed into the building to capture the hitman, but they were too late. By the time they got inside, all they found were two spent bullet casings.
The hitman was already gone.
While they were searching the area, they found another body in the stairwellâthe body of the man who owned the apartment where the hitman had been hiding these past few days.
He had been silenced.
They continued to trace the hitmanâs movements but never saw his face.
In all the surveillance footage, the hitman was wearing a hat and kept his head down, so they/ only saw his strong, imposing back.
But what did this have to do with Felicia wanting to see Maurice?
The subordinates were thinking about this, and one of them finally asked.
She didnât hide anything; she no longer cared to conceal her intentions. She said directly, âI want to know who the hitman is. Maurice must know.â
The four subordinates exchanged glances, worried it might be Mauriceâs doing. None of them. dared to respond.
She lost patience, and her tone grew colder. âDo I need to repeat myself?â
âMs. Fuller, please wait a moment. Weâll report to Mr. Glovers right away.â
The subordinates had no choice. Even if they didnât contact him, she could still reach him. Having them pass on the message would at least make it less awkward.
The message quickly reached Maurice.
Upon hearing that Felicia had been attacked again, nearly losing her life, and that her friend had shielded her, he frowned.
A second attack in such a short time?
Cup 375
One of his subordinates nervously asked, âMr. Glovers, this time wasnât your doing, was it?â
If it had been Mauriceâs plan, considering Feliciaâs current state, she might have died with him!
Maurice cursed, âWhat nonsense are you talking about? Do you think Iâd be so ruthless?â
He admitted that he did take a certain pleasure in her suffering, but he had never acted directly. At most, he just observed coldly from the sidelines.
But this time, it was beyond what he had imagined.
He thought she would only face an attack, but he never expected it to be a sniper attack. That was something nearly impossible to defend against!
The four subordinates breathed a sigh of relief and truthfully conveyed Feliciaâs message.
âShe wants to see me?â
He instinctively touched his chest.
In recent days, he had felt a discomfort in his chest. Just yesterday, while dining, tears suddenly started flowing down his face, scaring the maids and subordinates beside him.
They thought he had seen a ghost!
It wasnât his emotions, so it must have been Feliciaâs emotionsâgrief, pain, guilt, regret.
Maurice clicked his tongue. He never expected that the soâcalled âtwin venomous creature, could make him feel the other personâs emotions too.
He let it go. Since she was so upset, he would reluctantly agree to her request.
âArrange the plane; weâre going to Khogend.â
He threw down the papers in his hands and walked out.
âMs. Fuller, Mr. Glovers has agreed to meet you. A plane is already arranged, and he will arrive by evening at the latest.â
The four subordinates spoke respectfully. They were somewhat surprised by Mauriceâs unusually good mood.
They had expected that, given his bad temper, even if he agreed to meet Felicia, he would have sent her to Ablil. But instead, he was coming personally.
What was going on with him?
