Return of the Crowned Heiress Chapter 379
Return of the Crowned Heiress
The car door opened.
Johanna quickly walked over, her cheeks flushed, her voice soft and sweet as she said, â
Stephan, Iâm fine. You donât need to wor
Stephan glanced at her and asked, âWhat are you doing here?â
His tone was cold and somewhat impatient.
She froze. Wasnât he here to find her? How could he not know she was here? Or had she been deluding herself?
She certainly couldnât tell the truth, so she bit her lip and whispered, âI⦠I heard thereâs a famous miracle healer at this medical center, so I came to see if she could help Imogen with her eyes, but⦠I was kicked out.â
He should have at least reacted to this, right?
But there was nothing.
His face was expressionless, showing no anger at all. If anything, he seemed almost unsurprised.
She thought maybe she had misread the situation.
Just then, Felicia walked out of the Union Clinic.
She had received word from the Glovers family that Mauriceâs plane had landed, and she couldnât wait any longer. She was eager to get information from him about the person behind everything, so she was about to find him.
However, she ran into Stephan at the entrance.
To be precise, he had come here specifically to find her.
She forced a smile, greeting him briefly, then tried to walk past him to catch a cab.
But he gently pulled her back by her arm.
Felicia checked the time, suppressing her patience, and asked, âIs there something you need?â
Standing to the side, Johanna was wideâeyed, her expression changing from shock to astonishment and finally to intense jealousy and a sense of crisis.
It was obvious to anyone with half a brain that something was happening between them! That phone call she had overheard
arlierâ¦
She recalled the voice she had heard then, and when she compared it to Feliciaâs, they were
strikingly similar!
When she first saw Felicia, she was stunned by her looks and didnât think much of it.
Now, it all made senseâ¦
Her hands trembled slightly. The effort it took to suppress her anger and jealousy was clear only to her.
Stephan paused momentarily before speaking, âI need to talk to you about something. Itâs related to the Fuller family.â
The hijacked ship, the thing he lost, and the death of Archieâ¦.
All the clues pointed to the Fuller family, but he wasnât entirely convinced. He suspected that someone was manipulating everything from behind the scenes.
That was why he kept the information under wraps, wanting to confirm it himself.
He had to investigate the Fuller family personally, so he came to Felicia to discuss this matter.
Felicia raised an eyebrow, glancing at Johanna hiding behind Stephan. A trace of mockery and amusement in her eyes followed her reply, âMr. Russell, if you want to take action against the Fuller family, you donât need to come to inform me. 1
âI wonât stop you, nor can I. Likewise, I wonât be helping.â
With that, she gently brushed his hand aside.
Just then, another car pulled upâa modified Lincoln.
The window rolled down halfway, revealing Mauriceâs face.
From a distance, Maurice saw the scene of them pulling and tugging. Instead of avoiding it, he let out a loud whistle and called out to Felicia with an ambiguous tone, âGet in, baby.â
Felicia was speechless.
Some people just had to act like dogs.
Ugh! What a bastard!
She was disgusted by the word âbabyâ, but she walked toward the modifi
