Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 218

Felicia indeed needed money. All her earnings from treating patients had been poured into the development project in Alverton, leaving her penniless. Although Dexter had given her a bank card with a decent sum inside, she refused to touch a single cent of it.

But no matter her meticulous planning had already solved her financial dilemma. She had orchestrated a scheme against Shawn, turning his 50 million into gambling debts. Lance repossessed his house, cars, and all his luxury possessions. Now, Felicia sold all those items back to Lance for 20% below market value, pocketing two million dollars in the process.

It was a brilliant play-money earned without spending a dime.

Lance was more than happy with the arrangement. He'd already taken his cut from the original debt and now acquired a mansion, two luxury cars, and other valuable items at bargain prices. It was a win-win.

As he drove away, Lance couldn't help but admire Felicia's cunning.

"She's ruthless!" he thought.

Lance made a mental note-Felicia was not someone to cross.
