Return of the Crowned Heiress
Chapter 152
Chapter 152
The early morning chaos came to an end, and Felicia didn't bother to find out who would tow the Fuller family's car away after she left.
It wasn't until after she had left that Kayla finally snapped back to reality from the shock of the night before. Clinging tightly to Arnold's waist, she looked up at him with teary eyes and said, "Arnie, I rushed over to see you and almost didn't make it..."
Arnold opened his mouth, intending to say, "This slope isn't high; it's not as dangerous as you think." However, the words were caught in his throat, and he ultimately swallowed them. Instead, he said, "It's alright now. Don't cry."
Last night's events must have scared Kayla terribly-just like when he first arrived at the scene panic-stricken. It was only after Felicia scolded him that he realized his concern was causing him to lose focus. The terrain looked frightening, but there was no real deadly cliff here.
However, it was too late to say such things.
Kayla clung tightly to Arnold, fearing that if she let go, he would disappear. Her pitiful appearance made it difficult for him to reject her.
Just then, a group of students who had heard about the incident rushed over to see the commotion and caught sight of Arnold and Kayla in an embrace.
Someone remarked, "Kayla arrived pretty quickly, didn't she? She must have rushed over in the middle of the night. Talk about dedication!"
Kayla had been practically absent from college for a long time and wasn't on the list for this training program. She had only gotten wind of the situation because her good friend, Olivia, had informed her to come quickly to assert her claim and ensure that the man she was infatuated with, Arnold, wouldn't be taken away by Felicia.
Seeing this, Olivia couldn't help but smirk. Although she felt some resentment toward Kayla after yesterday's events, her hatred for Felicia was even stronger.
Anyone who could make Felicia's life miserable was welcome in her book.
So, Olivia stepped forward without hesitation and said, "Kayla, what terrible duck you had, getting into a car accident. Thankfully, you're okay. Otherwise, wouldn't Mr. Lawson feel guilty for a lifetime?"
Her words were laced with sarcasm, and Arnold could clearly hear it. He shot her a glance, but Olivia merely scoffed and turned away, strutting off.
Kayla finally regained her senses after initially feeling scared. She began to pick up on the indifference on Arnold's face, and her heart sank.
No one knew Arnold better than she did, and it was clear that something had happened over the past few days. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so distant and lost in thought in front of her
Feeling a wave of unease, she followed Arnold's gaze and was taken aback to find that he was consistently looking in Felicia's direction!
"Arnie, you haven't been paying attention to me these past few days. You even hung up on me yesterday. Do you know I almost died? I was wondering if I'd ever see you again..."
As she spoke, Arnold seemed to tune her out completely.
Finally, she managed a pained smile and asked, "Arnie, who are you thinking about? Is it Felicia?"
This seemingly casual question drew an unexpected reaction from Arnold. He immediately denied it, his voice filled with resistance as he replied, "Don't talk nonsense. How could be thinking about Felicia?"
His clear disdain was unmasked. While Kayla initially wanted to laugh, the smile slowly faded from her face.
A man's excessive attention toward a woman, even if he verbally claimed not to like her, often indicated that he had begun to develop feelings.
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.
