Return of the Crowned Heiress (Felicia)

Felicia's heart skipped a beat.

She turned her head slowly and saw Stephan's face. His thick, arched brows and deep, dark eyes exuded an air of intensity.

As she gazed down slowly, she noticed the scratches she had left on his well-defined collarbones.

She was mostly covered with the blanket, leaving Stephan almost naked. His muscular chest and slender waist were completely exposed, showcasing an undeniably striking body. Felicia gulped.

Stephan's figure was nothing short of breathtaking, surpassing any male model found on magazine covers around the world. His broad frame, perfectly proportioned from head to toe, was only accentuated by the muscles beneath. It was perfectly reasonable that she couldn't control herself the previous night.

Felicia's eyes roamed over him a few more times and forced herself to calm down. She said, "I helped you out once, and now vice versa. Funny how things work out."

Stephan was amused. "What? Are you trying to change the topic?"

Felicia straightened her back. "What do you mean? I'm just saying we're even now. Neither of us owes the other anything."

"Oh really?"

Stephan slid his hand beneath the covers. Felicia shivered at the icy contact, and a wave of electricity seemed to shoot through her body as his fingers moved. Felicia's eyes widened. "You..."

Stephan smiled as he reminded her, "That's not what you said last night when you were begging. Are you trying to act like nothing happened? It's too late for that."

Felicia opened her mouth and was about to explain, but before she could retort, she was completely disoriented by the hand from under the blanket. "Ugh..." She realized there was no escape.

After another intense round, Felicia collapsed. She was exhausted and unable to move. In the end, Stephan even kindly helped her out in the shower.

By the time they were dressed, the sun had already risen. Stephan helped Felicia, who was starving and dizzy, walk downstairs.

The dining table was already set up with delicious dishes. Having stayed here for over half a month, Felicia was well acquainted with Stephan's private chef and knew firsthand that the food was truly exceptional. She picked up her fork and spoon and then dug in.

The only downside was that when she was kidnapped by the Lawson family last night, her backpack had somehow been lost along the way.

Inside the backpack were several bottles of herbal lore, which cost a lot.

Felicia gritted her teeth. The entire Lawson family was full of trash.

She'd make sure to take them down whenever she had the chance.

Stephan could tell what Felicia was thinking just by looking at her expression. The corners of his lips curled slightly as he chose not to mention that he had already

instructed his people to seize het

the

Lawson family's largest mine and two oil fields last night.

This was a huge loss to the Lawson family.

But it wasn't enough.

Stephan remembered that the Lawson family had made big investments in gold mining.

That was what he would target next.

"Mr. Russell, Mike Lawson is here. Should I let him in?"

One of his subordinates approached and glanced briefly at Felicia before bowing. "He said he's here to apologize to... Ms. Fuller." Felicia's ears perked up.

The Lawson family was full of trash, but she still held a good impression of Mike, especially since he had helped her before.

But when it came to making

amends. What difference did it

make whether she forgave him or not? After all, she didn't have the power to take down the Lawson family right now. en FindNovel

Felicia kept quiet.

Given Stephan and Mike's good relationship, there had never been a need for formalities when Mike came over. The subordinates would always let him through without question.

However, after what happened last night, it was better to have him wait outside.

Stephan gave a slight nod, signaling for them to let Mike in.
