Return of the Crowned Heiress

6

Dexter was well known in high society as a man who doted on his wife. He supported all of Myra's decisions without question, just like when she signed that check for 50 million earlier he didn't say a word. Since his biological daughter was about to be rightfully acknowledged as part of the family, there was no way he would object.

"Alright, I'll take care of it," he said.

The moment Dexter agreed, Kayla's face paled. She knew if she protested now, it would only irritate Myra and Dexter further, making it impossible to change anything.

However, once Felicia's true identity was revealed, Kayla's false status would be declared too. Everyone would know her real parents were nothing but lowlife scoundrels.

Clenching her fists tightly, Kayla cast a resentful glance at Felicia, her eyes filled with growing hatred. She figured that was why Felicia had pretended to want to leave. It was a door-in-the-face technique. Sensing something, Felicia glanced back and caught a brief glimpse of the malice in Kayla's eyes. It quickly disappeared, replaced by her usual innocent smile.

"Isn't this wonderful, Felicia? We'll be a family from now on!" Kayla said.

Felicia shot her a small smile. "Yes, wonderful."

"The squeaky wheel gets the grease," Felicia thought to herself. It was a tactic she had learned from Kayla.

In her previous life, Felicia had kept her head down, not competing for anything, desperately craving even a sliver of attention from her parents. In the end, she was accepted back into the Fuller family but only as their adopted daughter.

This time, though, she had used a different approach. By taking a step back to gain the upper hand and shedding a few well-timed tears, she managed to claim a fair outcome that should have been hers all along. Was she beating the devil as his own game? Felicia yawned. "I'm tired."
