Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 144

The transformation in Alverton was all thanks to Felicia.

While Macey spoke, she set aside the strawberries and washed them clean before placing a few into Felicia's hands.

As Felicia enjoyed the berries, her phone buzzed several times. Pulling it out, she saw messages from the newly created training group chat, where the lead instructor announced that all students should gather as they would be assigned to stay in the villagers' spare rooms.

Most of the villagers were welcoming, especially since the college had donated a large number of goods. It prompted them to clean up their homes to host the students.

Even with prior preparations, many students still complained loudly, finding fault with the villagers' homes and hesitating to go.

Some even flaunted their superiority in the group chat, asking, "Why aren't there any hotels here? I usually stay in five-star hotels!"

It wasn't until the vice principal chimed in that the complaints gradually ceased, "You're here for training, not for a vacation."

Felicia stroked her chin. In her plan, she aimed to turn Alverton into a tourist destination. Of course, there would be homestays. However, those were still under construction.

If they were ready, she could have generated some buzz for the village by taking advantage of this wave of visitors. Unfortunately, that was not the case.
