Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 151

As Felicia approached Ruben, she asked, "Ruben, what caused the accident? What happened?"

Ruben was one of the Fuller family's dedicated drivers. He was always on standby and had years of driving experience, so it was unusual for such an accident to occur.

Recognizing Felicia, Ruben replied, "Ms. Felicia, good morning. Yesterday, Ms. Kayla urged me to drive her to Alverton. I wasn't familiar with the road and mistakenly followed the wrong route according to the navigation. Ms. Kayla got angry, and then..." His voice trailed off.

Not only had Kayla been upset, but she had also taken out her frustration on him by kicking his seat while he was driving.

The winding mountain roads were already challenging, and his attention had been distracted by her kicking him. Fatigued from driving all day, he lost focus for just a moment, causing the car to veer off the road and get stuck on the edge of the slope. From their perspective inside the vehicle, it felt like they were hanging over a precipice, so they didn't dare to move. Even when their phone fell at their feet, they hesitated to pick it up, fearing that bending down would make the car sway dangerously. It wasn't until Arnold called this morning that the car audio system automatically answered and allowed them to call for help.

The more Ruben thought about it, the angrier he became. If it hadn't been for Kayla distracting him, the accident wouldn't have happened in the first place!

While they were trapped inside the car, Kayla said many hurtful things. She declared that he wasn't fit to be a driver for the Fuller family and that she would make sure he was fired as soon as they got out, putting an end to his career.

If it hadn't been for his reason, he would have wanted to take Kayla down with him!

As he reflected on this, he tightened his grip on the memory card in his hand.

That card contained recordings from the dashcam. If Kayla pushed him too far, he had evidence to hold against her.

Felicia didn't pry further.

With Kayla saved, the villagers felt relieved and began to disperse.

Cody Gibbs, who had been scolded by Arnold earlier, tried to leave but was stopped by Felicia. "Mr. Gibbs, wait a moment."

life-and-death separation. Unable to hold back, she spoke up, "Sorry to interrupt."

Arnold finally released Kayla and turned his attention to Felicia. "What is it?"

Felicia became even more impatient. Her tone was cold as she stated, "You should apologize to Mr. Gibbs."

Cody felt a bit awkward and gently tugged at Felicia's sleeve. "Licia, let's just let it go..."

How could she let it go?

Felicia stood her ground.

Cody had a daughter around Felicia's age who was studying in another city. Any daughter would be upset if she found out her father had been treated this way.

Moreover, it was just an apology; it wasn't like she was asking for a piece of Arnold's flesh. An apology was absolutely reasonable, wasn't it?

Meanwhile, Arnold had regained his composure. Regardless of the circumstances, these villagers had indeed helped.

He pursed his lips, and his good upbringing compelled him to apologize to Cody, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gibbs. I was out of line earlier." Cody flashed a warm and sincere smile.

Finally satisfied, Felicia turned to

leave with Cody and the others. She climbed back onto the little truck as it started moving toward Alverton.
