Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 336

As Felicia's plane disappeared into the horizon, Abbie stood frozen with her fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. Her disfigured face twisted with rage, making her look even more terrifying. She was stunned at how Maurice let Felicia leave just like that.

Grinding her teeth so hard they squeaked, Abbie couldn't hold back anymore. She stormed after Maurice, desperate and furious.

"Mr. Glovers!" she called, her voice trembling with anger. "She put that venomous creature in you! She did something so serious. Are you really just going to let it go?"

Maurice paused before turning to face her, his expression eerily calm and lips curled in a faint, almost disarming smile.

"What do you think I should do about it?" he asked, his tone mild, almost playful.

For a moment, his calmness threw Abbie off, but the bitterness in her chest wouldn't let her stop. Fueled by frustration, she blurted out, "Bring her back! Force her to remove the venomous creature and then kill her!" Maurice's smile widened slightly as if he found her suggestion amusing. "Well, you certainly sound like you're looking out for me."

"Of course, I am!" Abbie forced a smile, trying to suppress the trembling in her voice. "I've always been loyal to you, Mr. Glovers. Everything I do is for you."

Her attempt at charm might've worked if those deep scars hadn't marred her face. What could've been alluring instead bordered on grotesque, her disfigured features robbing her of the allure she once relied on. Maurice tilted his head, appearing to consider her words.
