Return of the Crowned Heiress

“Hey! Have you lost your mind? What are you doing? Ah!”

Talia was about to shout at the top of her lungs, but Felicia started shoving her head to make her grovel at Roberta’s feet.

Kayla tried to pull herself away, but she was forced to grovel repeatedly under Felicia’s grip as

well.

“See that? That’s a human life! A precious human life!” The corners of Felicia’s eyes were red. Her voice rang with anger.

“Is it her fault that people call her an illegitimate child? Doesn’t the fault lie with the one who

chose to have an affair?

“You can ignore her or kick her out of the house if you don’t like her. Why did you have to sell her to human traffickers and make her suffer inhumane treatment?

“Do you not feel the slightest hint of regret for driving a person to the point where they decide to take their own life?”

Felicia was burning with rage. She kept pressing Talia’s and Kayla’s heads down to make them grovel at Roberta’s body, which was now gradually turning cold.

Doing this would not help Talia and Kayla atone for their sins or make up for what they did in the past, but Felicia felt that it was only right for these perpetrators to do this much.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

It was only when there were bloodstains on the ground and Felicia became tired that she released Talia and Kayla.

The hair Talia had put up in a bun was now a mess. She felt so dizzy, considering how she had to grovel multiple times.

When she regained her senses, Talia

Talia pointed at Felicia and shouted furiously, “You damned wench! How dare you do this to me? I’m going to tear you to shreds!”

With her hands in the air, Talia was about to pounce at Felicia.

Clive bellowed, “Enough!”

He had rarely lost his temper in recent years. Even if he was upset sometimes, Clive would at most speak in a severe tone.

He would not react in the way that he did now–barely able to stand due to his fury and having a loud, stern tone. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Talia halted and complained with indignation, “Grandpa, you must do something about this!

If this goes on, we, the Walshes, are going to get pushed around by this wench!

“Who does she think she is? How dare a bastard like her hit me? What an abomination!”

Kayla could still feel her head spinning. The first thought that struck her was the implant she had recently gotten for her face. She wondered if all that bashing affected the implant.

When she heard Clive taking Felicia’s side, she sobbed dejectedly. “Grandpa, you saw it for yourself. We didn’t do anything, yet Felicia suddenly started hitting us… I’m in so much pain…

Kayla was right about that.

Clive felt like his vision went dark for a moment. He quickly tried to calm himself down cleared his mind. Then, he asked, “Licia, what happened?”

and

Felicia carried Roberta from the ground and into her arms. The maids quickly brought a small bed to where Felicia was standing, after which she laid Roberta on the bed.

Then, she answered, “Grandpa, you felt her pulse too. I’m sure you know how Roberta died, right?”

Clive would be lying if he said he did not know.

He had made the poison himself, so he knew best how potent the poison was and its effects With agony, Clive closed his

eyes. This was not the first time. In the past, his wife died because she had contact with a poison he made by accident…

“It’s my fault. Roberta ended up like this because of me.”

Tears streaked Clive’s face.

Felicia smirked. She fixed her gaze on Talia and Kayla. “Grandpa, you shouldn’t jump to conclusions. I think the murderer is someone else.”

The poison was not the issue here. Under certain conditions, some poison could even work as a cure to save lives. The problem did not stem from the substance, but rather from the people. using it.

It was especially so for those with malicious intentions and no care for human lives.

Clive asked, “Who is it?”

“Those two…” Felicia pointed to Talia and Kayla. The two of them are the murderers!”
