Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 184

Kayla maintained a sweet and kind demeanor in front of others and smiled at everyone. "Arnie is right. Since Felicia is fine now, we should head back."

Her followers naturally agreed, so they all left together.

Kayla deliberately lagged behind Olivia. Once everyone was gone, she could no longer hide the anger and resentment on her face. Her voice was laced with venom as she asked, "Olivia, what happened in the past two days? Why is Arnie constantly defending Felicia?"

Olivia nearly laughed out loud.

She remembered the evening of the first day they arrived in Alverton when she had tried to create trouble for Felicia, only to be taught a lesson by her. Afterward, she and her followers planned to make a scene at the Garcia residence.

However, Arnold stopped them halfway.

At that time, she asked him if the person being bullied had been Kayla instead of Felicia, he would still have chosen to help Felicia.

She remembered his answer clearly.

He said, "Firstly, it's about the situation, not the person. Secondly, you're not Kayla. Thirdly, Kayla is kinder than you. She wouldn't do such a thing."

Was Kayla kind?

Indeed, everyone knew that Kayla appeared sweet and kind in public, so much so that even Olivia and others had tried to isolate and bully Felicia to help Kayla.

They even formed a little group to force Felicia out of the school!

But those who didn't know the truth weren't aware that Kayla was far from a good person behind the scenes. She used her sweet, fragile image to manipulate others into doing her bidding. So, while the bad reputation fell on others, she always remained pure, innocent, and harmless!

"Of course! Why would I lie to you?" Olivia raised an eyebrow and clicked her tongue. "You saw it too. What did Mr. Lawson do when Felicia had her accident yesterday? He was worried! And today, he's defending her again. I won't believe it if you say he doesn't care about her!"

Kayla closed her eyes. She had sensed Arnold's strange behavior a long time ago.

For example, when she first saw Felicia at the gate of the Fuller residence…

And when Matthew insisted that Felicia become his granddaughter-in-law, and during that highly publicized engagement banquet, Arnold wavered and pushed her away, saying, "I only see you as a sister."

Heh... A sister?

The jealousy inside Kayla was so overwhelming that it nearly consumed her. Her eyes were filled with murderous intent, so sharp and terrifying that Olivia instinctively took a few steps back.
