Return of the Crowned Heiress

"Stay away! Don't come near me!" Kayla screamed. Terrified, she hid behind Myra.

Myra couldn't bear seeing Kayla in distress and immediately ordered the maids and bodyguards in the mansion to hold the intruders back.

However, that just made things worse. Howell swung his fist at the staff, and Tabitha, with all her audacity, started pulling her clothes off. She threatened them, saying, "Go ahead, touch me if you dare! I'll accuse you of molesting me!" The staff had seen difficult people before, but never anyone this shameless. Faced with such a scene, the bodyguards hesitated to act, and soon, the entire mansion echoed with Tabitha's sharp, grating voice.

Even Myra, who was usually composed, couldn't take it anymore. Her face hardened as she snapped, "Enough! Just tell me how much you want!"

Seeing that they had the upper hand, Howell stopped hitting people, and Tabitha stopped tearing her clothes off.

Shawn stepped forward with a smirk. "50 million dollars. Give us 50 million, and we'll leave right now. I promise you'll never see us again."

50 million?

Everyone except Felicia gasped. They had seen greed before, but never at this level.

"Absolutely not!" Dexter was furious. It wasn't about the money. He simply refused to be extorted.

Shawn sneered at his reply and said, "Well, then, let's go, Mom, Dad. We'll just take my sister and leave! Do you think being the richest man in town means you can hold our family hostage?"

Exactly. It was only right to take their daughter back. Without hesitation, Howell and Tabitha rushed forward and grabbed Kayla, refusing to let go.

Myra was beside herself with worry. Instinctively, she looked over at Felicia, who had been sitting quietly the entire time. After all, this was her adoptive family for 18 years. Couldn't she say something to stop this madness?

Felicia was looking back at her with an expression filled with disappointment, coldness, and hurt. Maybe Myra didn't realize it herself, but in that moment, her frustration and disappointment in Felicia were more painful than she knew. Felicia almost wanted to laugh, but all she felt was a wave of bitterness.
