Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 494

"Ask not why you should be grateful, just be."

That was what these shameless people demanded of others.

Felicia decided to take a page from their playbook. Snapping her fingers, she turned to Stanley, who was grinding his teeth in frustration. She said, "Beat them up. Show them no mercy."

"Got it!"

Stanley had been waiting for this command. With a few quick strides, he arrived before Howell and Tabitha. He then gave Howell a merciless beating.

While Stanley had not laid hands on Tabitha initially, Howell, screaming in pain, grabbed her and used her as a shield. As a result, Tabitha ended up taking a few kicks too.

When the pair was beaten half to death, Stanley finally stopped.

Felicia, standing above them, looked down coldly and said, "You should thank me. If I hadn't told him to stop, you'd be dead by now. Do you understand?"

Howell and Tabitha were rendered speechless.

"I didn't touch you myself because I didn't want to dirty my hands. I thought you guys getting your just desserts was punishment enough. But now, I've changed my mind."

Felicia tilted her head slightly, her smile radiant yet terrifying. The couple shivered, their hands and feet growing cold as a chill of fear settled over them.

"I don't argue with the dead. Get lost."

Howell and Tabitha flinched violently, their faces full of anger as they tried to muster the courage to intimidate her and suppress their growing fear. "You wouldn't dare!"

However, Felicia didn't bother sparing them another glance. She turned around and walked back into the villa.

Stanley wasted no time kicking them out of the villa's gated community.

The two stumbled away, trembling. They had been beaten black and blue. Even as they walked down the road, they glanced around anxiously, afraid that Felicia might actually send someone to finish them off.

These two were seasoned troublemakers, experts at playing the victim. Their shamelessness knew no bounds.

The Carrell family's maids were at their wits' end. They had no choice but to let them linger however they wanted.

At that moment, Kayla was indeed not at the Carrell residence.

Since reuniting with the Carrells, Kayla had clung to her aunt, Gabrielle, much like how she once fawned over Dexter and Myra. She lavished Gabrielle with attention, massaging her shoulders and flattering her at every turn.

Her efforts were somewhat successful. Though Gabrielle secretly despised her, she was willing to put on a kind face and treat Kayla decently.

The Carrell family was wealthy, and even the crumbs that fell from their table were enough to dazzle Kayla, who had experienced the fall of the Fuller family.

She was ecstatic, convinced that she had truly secured her place in the Carrell family. The tone she addressed Gabrielle with was even more affectionate than she would with her own mother.

But ten days ago, Gabrielle gave Kayla an assignment.
