Chapter 206

"Why should I stop them? Why would I care? I don't owe the Fuller family a thing," Lance scoffed, waving off his subordinate's suggestion.

"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?"
