Chapter 302

Maurice couldn't hold back his laugh in a nearby car as he watched the chaos unfold. "Well. This is getting interesting."

The long-lost daughter of Khogend's wealthiest family had been missing for 18 years before finally being found and brought home. But her fairy-tale return lasted barely six months before she was cast out once again.

She was now renting some run-down shack on the outskirts of town. And the kicker was-she was almost engaged to Khogend's golden boy, Arnold, the heir of the Lawson family.

The more Maurice dug, the more surprises he uncovered.

One particular nugget was some seriously shady history between her and Stephan. The untouchable Stephan, who never cared about women, had not only taken her side but nearly obliterated the Lawson family to do it. He'd even forced them to hand over a whole oil field and a mine, all transferred to Felicia's name.

When Maurice first uncovered that, he thought it had to be an exaggeration. What kind of woman could bring a guy like Stephan to his knees? Even as he pieced together these hidden connections, he'd been skeptical. But now, seeing her from afar, he finally understood. She wasn't just holding her own against an ambush. She'd already taken down three of his men with sharp, unexpected moves and had managed to make a run for it.

And on top of that she was stunning. She wasn't just beautiful. There was something striking about her, a kind of edgy charm that you couldn't ignore.
