Chapter 206

Felicia's phone sat buzzing on her desk, its constant vibration muffled by the wood. She had left it behind to charge when she went to talk to Sebastian. On her way back, she was stopped by Mina.

"Then, don't." Felicia turned to leave.

Mina's expression stiffened, but she quickly recovered. "Ms. Felicia, you may have the Fuller name, but you've only just returned to the family. Besides blood ties, you don't really have much else to rely on."

Felicia raised an eyebrow, amused. "Oh? If blood ties are so unshakable, doesn't that mean I already have something that others don't?"
