Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 279

Since the chaotic events at the birthday party, Felicia hadn't seen Kayla after she was arrested and later sent to this sanatorium.

Over two months had passed, and now they were finally face to face again.

Felicia was a bit surprised. In just a couple of months, Kayla had changed dramatically.

In the past, she was like a frail, delicate flower-seemingly gentle, easily pitied. But beneath that softness lay a ruthless, calculating mind, though often impatient enough to ruin her plans. For instance, her attempt to murder and dispose of a body by the beach at Cedar Street.

After all that had happened, Kayla looked worn out. Her face was pale, and she seemed so thin and frail, as if a gust of wind could carry her away.

Yet now, Felicia couldn't quite read her.

Kayla's gaze was hollow, neither smiling nor resentful, but she stared intently at Felicia with those dark, ink-like pupils, creating an eerie feeling.
