Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 314

Calvin fled for his life.

Carmen chased him until she was out of breath, only stopping when he disappeared into the distance. Frustrated, she threw the kitchen knife onto the ground, wiped the sweat off her face, and flagged down a cab to head to the Fuller residence. The villa remained grand and imposing, a symbol of their past as Khogend's wealthiest family. Despite recent turmoil, its opulence remained untouched.

Carmen hammered on the gate, repeatedly pressing the doorbell.

"Is anyone there? Come out! I need to speak with the Fuller family members! It's urgent!" she yelled.

Finally, a maid appeared.

Carmen clung to the iron gate, desperation clear in her voice. "I need to see Mr. and Mrs. Fuller! Let me in!"

"They're not home," the maid replied coolly. "Even Mr. Sebastian isn't here. Why don't you try the Walsh family if it's something urgent?"

Carmen froze for a moment before quickly jumping back into the cab. "To the Walsh residence," she told the driver.

The Fuller residence was draped in mourning.
