Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 402

The mother and daughter snuck out in their disguise, terrified of being recognized. Only after getting into the car did they finally sigh in relief.

Not far away, a flash went off.

Myra's face fell, and she urged the driver, "There are reporters behind us. Step on the gas!"

The driver didn't dare delay and sped off, causing the two in the back seat to feel dizzy by the acceleration. Eventually, they managed to shake off the reporters and return to the Fuller residence.

The atmosphere in the house was tense. It was far worse than the last time Kayla had been arrested.

Dexter had stitches on his head, with thick gauze and a netted cap wrapped around it. He looked haggard, a far cry from his once energetic appearance.

The phone beside him rang with calls from the company. Their partnerships were being terminated, and rival companies were poaching his top employees.

Dexter turned off the phone, not wanting to see the mess.

When Myra came home, Dexter smiled as he always did. "Where have you two been?"

"Nowhere. We just went out for a walk," Myra replied as she sat beside him. "Does your head still hurt?"

"No." Dexter held her hand and added lightheartedly, "My rivals have made their move and are coming for our throats. This time... I don't think I'll recover."

"It's okay. There's nothing to be afraid of as long as we're together," Myra muttered, her eyes filled with pity.

Dexter laughed and tried to lighten up the mood. "Maybe our family will have to live on the streets soon."

Kayla's mind raced. The dream she had after hitting her head at the sanatorium had been vivid, as though it had happened in a past life. It was thanks to that dream that she returned to the Fullers and regained Dexter's and Myra's love.

She never doubted the dream! Since she won against Felicia in her past life, this life would be no different!

Kayla immediately pulled out her phone and called Arnold. But after a few rings, the number was shown to be unavailable.

Was this because of the time difference? Was Arnold still asleep?

Kayla kept calling, but the call still didn't go through.

After several failed attempts, Kayla finally realized that Arnold had blocked her number.
