Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 448

"Hm? Tell me, then. Who is she?" Kayla rolled her eyes with disdain. Howell and his family were parasites from the lowest rung of society. They couldn't possibly know any big shot!

Straightening up, Tabitha deliberately bragged, "My cousin married into the Carrell family of Seldvale!"

The Carrell family of Seldvale?

Kayla might not have heard of many prestigious families, but the Carrell family of Seldvale was well-known.

They were an extremely reputable, wealthy, and powerful family with a high social standing in Seldvale.

Never had Kayla expected Tabitha to be related to someone from the Carrell family.

"Is that for real? Are you lying to me?"

Even Tabitha could not believe in her good fortune.

Two days ago, when Tabitha and Howell carried out their usual fraudulent operations on the streets, they were cornered and sandwiched between two cars.

They were terribly shocked because they thought they had gotten into serious trouble. To their surprise, they were invited into one of the cars, where they met the woman—Gabrielle Tisch—who claimed she was Tabitha's cousin.

It took Tabitha a while to remember her cousin, who was, in reality, a distant relative of hers.

Of course, she would never give up on such a golden opportunity to associate with someone from wealth. She immediately acted chummy with her cousin.

As a daughter-in-law of the Carrell family, Gabrielle was generous to Tabitha and Howell. She immediately paid them a huge fortune and requested that they reach out to Kayla as she wanted to reunite with Kayla.

Tabitha immediately cooed, "Gosh, it's Gabrielle."

Howell greeted Gabrielle as well. At the same time, he urged Kayla, "That's your aunt! Greet her!"

Kayla stared at him silently while cursing him in her mind. She had wanted to slam the door in everyone's faces, but she controlled her anger out of respect for the Carrells' reputation and status. She quietly stood at the door.

Gabrielle was the first to break the ice. She carried herself with arrogance, coldness, and a sense of superiority. "I'm sure you know who I am. I'll get to the point. I want the map in your hands. In return, you can choose to take me as your aunt. I'll provide you with whatever you need and protect you to the best of my ability.

"Of course, you have the right to turn me down, but… Before that, you should consider if you can handle the repercussions."

Gabrielle wrapped up her speech without batting an eye. She had threatened Kayla with a calmness and arrogance that belonged to those from the upper crust of society.
