Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 538

Kayla loathed Pete with every fiber of her being. She cursed the heavens for their unfairness until her voice gave out. Exhausted and powerless, she began to sob.

But her tears had barely lasted two minutes when explosions echoed above, followed by the crashing of massive boulders.

At that moment, Kayla knew it was over. She couldn’t escape She would die here.

Yet just when she was about to succumb to despair, she heard Felicia’s voice.

At first, Kayla thought it was a hallucination brought on by her near–death state. After all, Felicia was the person she hated most in her life–the thorn in her side, the obstacle she could never overcome!

Even though the Fuller family had gone bankrupt and her once–glamorous title as the heiress was now meaningless, Kayla still viewed Felicia as a threat. She wished for nothing more than to crush Eelicia completely.

Please save me… It was all my fault before. I was wrong. I’ll never do it again. Please, for the sake of the bond we once shared as siblings, help me! I beg you!”
