Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 496

Gabrielle thought about it and agreed, but she still had some concerns. "Pete asked me to be kind to Kayla. Could it be that he's interested in marrying her?"

The maid couldn't help but chuckle, and Gabrielle found the idea laughable as well. "I must be overthinking. Don't I know my son's taste? There's no way he'd fancy someone like Kayla."

…

Kayla arrived at the current Fuller residence with eight bodyguards in tow.

Myra was hanging laundry when she heard the door open. Assuming it was Dexter returning home, she turned to call out to him but was instead greeted by a group of unexpected intruders!

"Who are you? Get out!" Myra shouted sternly, only to see the eight bodyguards step aside, making way for a dazzlingly dressed Kayla to enter.

"Kayla?" Myra's expression changed instantly. She deeply regretted her earlier laziness in not having someone replace the door's lock.

Now that the intruders were inside, Myra retreated step by step and asked coldly, "What do you want, Kayla?"

"Mom, don't be nervous. I'm here to invite you as a guest. Aunt Gabrielle has some matters to discuss with you and Dad, so she asked me to bring both of you to her." Kayla's eyes darted around. "Where's Dad? He's not home?"

"Get out! You're not welcome here, and I won't go with you. Get lost!" Myra's face turned pale, her attitude firm.

But Kayla seemed to have anticipated this outcome. She signaled her bodyguards with a glance. "So, you want to do this the hard way, eh? What are you guys standing around for? Take her!"

The bodyguards immediately rushed toward Myra.

Myra screamed and quickly retreated into the bedroom, locking the door behind her.

That made things difficult.

On his way home, he passed by a bakery offering discounts and promotions. Remembering how Myra had mentioned wanting blueberry cake the night before, he bought a slice.

Rubbing his face with his hand, he carried the cake into the house, only to find several strangers in their small home!

Alarmed, he thought it was those relentless people hunting him for the map. He immediately pulled out the knife he had hidden on him.

Just then, from behind the strangers, a woman dressed in opulent jewelry and fine clothing stepped forward. It was Kayla.

"Don't be nervous, Dad. It's me. I just came back."

Seeing Kayla again, Dexter's attitude toward her changed completely. It wasn't just because of that dreamlike vision from another lifetime but also because of her ruthless attempt to kill him at the hospital.
