Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 286

Dexter sighed helplessly. "Darling, do we have to argue on New Year's?"

"You started it!"

"Alright, alright. It's my fault." He tugged at Myra's hand, saying, "How about this? Next month, I'll accompany you to the sanatorium to visit Kayla. How does that sound?"

"That's better!" Her expression softened, and she grudgingly accepted.

Dexter picked up his cup and smiled. "Great! Now we can eat. Come on, let's have a drink together. Cheers!"

Just as they were about to clink their glasses, there was a commotion outside, accompanied by the bodyguards' shouting.

"Who's out there? Come out!"

Dexter and Myra exchanged glances and put down their fork before asking, "What's going on? What's with all the noise?"

A bodyguard soon ran in and reported, "Mr. Russell, Mrs. Russel, we caught someone just now. That person tried to sneak into the villa while we were changing shifts, but we stopped them!" "Who would be so bold?" Dexter frowned, clearly irritated.

The bodyguard explained, "The person kept their face covered so we couldn't see their appearance. We're asking why she sneaked in, but she won't speak."
