Return of the Crowned Heiress Chapter 408

“We can use this map to secure the Fullers‘ position. Whoever wants this map will have to give us something in return! Why should we just hand it over?” Kayla was ambitious. “Besides, we could also seize the opportunity ourselves and claim that fortune!”

In her mind, it doesn’t matter if the Fullers went bankrupt as long as they obtained the

treasure.

She was gambling their lives away.

Dexter and Myra exchanged a look.

He asked, “And what if there’s no treasure?”

Kayla froze. “That’s impossible! Dad, didn’t you just say it yourself? You said the legend must be true if even Stephan is searching for the map!

“But what if it’s fake?” Dexter sighed.

“Dad…” Kayla stomped her foot in frustration, frustrated at Dexter’s insistence on challenging

her.

Myra chimed in, “If it’s fake, then not only will we fail to obtain the so–called treasure, but we’ll also offend Stephan. So… we can’t take that gamble.”

Dexter nodded. That was what he thought. When one’s capabilities couldn’t support one’s ambitions, one’s greed would only lead to disaster.

Dexter was already regretting his actions. But since he stole the map, he could only find a way to fix the situation.

Kayla was still unwilling to give up. “But Mom, Dad, risk and reward often come hand in hand! Even if we don’t pursue the treasure ourselves, we can still use it to gain some benefits!”

“Such as?” Dexter stared at her.

“Like…” Kayla’s eyes lit up as she came up with a brilliant idea. “We could sell the map to Stephan’s rival! Let them fight it out, and we’ll reap the benefits!”

Dexter pondered over it but quickly dismissed the idea. “No, that won’t work. Stephan has too many enemies, and every single one of them is a lunatic. We can’t afford to provoke them.”

Hearing Kayla’s suggestion, Myra came up with an idea of her own. “If we don’t want to bring trouble to ourselves, we need to sever all ties with it. Let’s pretend we don’t know anything and donate the map!”

“Donate it? Where?” Dexter was perplexed.

“There’s an auction this Saturday. It’s been in the works for a while now. We’ll donate the

map, and once Stephan hears about it, he’ll definitely bid for it!” Myra smiled.

“But if we do that, the map’s contents won’t stay hidden. The coordinates will be leaked!” Dexter felt uneasy just thinking about it.

Myra nodded. “That’s exactly the point. We can redirect the attention away from us.”

Once the coordinates were revealed, countless people would want to find the treasure. Stephan would be too busy dealing with them to have time to retaliate against the Fullers.

Dexter thought it over and realized it made sense But for some reason, he still felt uneasy.

Would complicating the situation not backfire on them? Even if they managed to divert Stephan’s attention, would he let them off the hook?

Despite his worries, when Dexter saw his wife’s confidence, he swallowed his concerns and said nothing.

And so, the plan was decided.

Kayla was dissatisfied but had no way to argue further. As the couple ushered her out of the

Meanwhile, Johanna had been lying low since her discharge. She hadn’t left her room in days.

Johanna smirked as she watched the public’s uproar online. No one would ever guess the person orchestrating the rumors about the Fullers was her.
