Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 493

"We shouldn't have adopted you! We should've drowned you in a cesspit when you were born!"

"You're nothing but a curse! You bring nothing but trouble!"

"Felicia, give me back my son's life!"

Howell's eyes bulged with rage as he fumbled in his pocket. He pulled out a pair of scissors and lunged at Felicia.

Right as Stanley was about to intervene, he saw Felicia effortlessly grab Howell's wrist, twist it, and kneed him, toppling him over. Without hesitation, she scooped up a handful of dirt and grass from the lawn and stuffed it into Howell's mouth.

While it hardly caused any harm, it was absolutely humiliating!

Howell instinctively tried to spit it out, but Felicia clamped his jaw shut, preventing him from opening his mouth.

Tabitha shrieked at the sight, then charged at Felicia like a mad woman. She clawed at Felicia with her nails, which she intentionally sharpened.

Felicia kicked her to the ground, then repeated the same humiliating treatment, shoving dirt into Tabitha's mouth.

Moments ago, the pair had been hurling insults with unbridled ferocity. Now, they were bent over on the ground, frantically spitting dirt and coughing up dirt. Even after spitting out the dirt, the earthy bitterness lingered, leaving them retching in disgust.

Throughout the ordeal, Felicia remained expressionless. She said calmly in a cold voice, "It was Kayla who sent you, wasn't it?"

Her new address was a secret. Even Dexter and Myra didn't know it. The only person with connections capable of uncovering it was Kayla, who had latched onto the Carrell family.

Howell opened his mouth to curse again, but the sight of Felicia scooping up another handful of dirt made him shut up instantly.

Tabitha braced herself and retorted, "So what if she did? Without us, you'd be nothing, you wretch!"

Hearing this, Felicia let out a soft, chilling laugh. "If it weren't for you two deliberately swapping me with Kayla back then, I wouldn't be what I am. Instead…"

With no more reservations, the couple suddenly felt energized and continued their tirade.

"Since you know the truth, then you should be grateful! You're not even our real daughter, but we still fed you and raised you! Now that you're successful, don't you think you owe us something?"

Stanley couldn't help but twist his face in disbelief. The audacity these shameless people had was just unbelievable!

Felicia stroked her chin and smiled.

All these vile people had one thing in common—they never reflected on their actions. They never suffered from inner turmoil or guilt. Without the burden of conscience or morality, they acted with complete self-interest.

If something benefited them, they'd stop at nothing to seize it. If it didn't, they'd discard it without a second thought, blaming others with ease.

In short, it boiled down to two things. Firstly, they would never be wrong, and others were always at fault. Secondly, no matter how badly they had treated others, they expected them to be grateful.
