Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 248

"Consider that last bottle a free sample," Felicia began, her tone turning businesslike. "You saw how well it worked, right? Sprinkle the powder, and the bleeding stops instantly. In three days, you'll be as good as new!" She opened her bag and pulled out five more identical bottles. "I've got five left. Are you interested, Mr. Russell?"

Her pitch was smooth, her enthusiasm genuine. "You're always getting injured, so this stuff is perfect for you. If it doesn't work, feel free to trash my reputation!"

Stephan raised an eyebrow, his expression unreadable as he leaned back against the bed. His toned body was still exposed. The bandages she had wrapped highlighted the sharp contours of his abs and the alluring lines of his toned muscles. Felicia quickly averted her gaze, her thoughts threatening to wander. After all, she'd had a wild night with Stephan before.

She tried to calm herself down.

Stephan smirked slightly, noticing her momentary distraction. He then calmly adjusted his shirt. His fingers moved slowly and deliberately, and the hint of amusement in his eyes was impossible to miss.

"I'll take them all," he said casually, his voice low and smooth.

Felicia's annoyance melted away, replaced by a bright, businesslike smile. "That's what I like to hear, Mr. Russell!"

She tapped the bottles confidently. "These are top-tier. They'll stop bleeding, speed up healing, and even prevent scarring. They're priceless!"

She hesitated, unsure how much to charge. Then, she cautiously held up five fingers. "This much. It's reasonable, right?"

Stephan tilted his head, his gaze sharp. "Are you asking for 500 grand?" he asked, amused. "Done."

Felicia's jaw dropped. "What?"
