Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 509

To anyone else, this area might seem like nothing more than a chaotic mess. But for a tracking expert like Stanley, every footprint told a story, and every leaf revealed a different scenario.

After inspecting the area, Stanley pointed in a specific direction. "Mrs. Russell, if my deductions are correct, the couple you mentioned likely ran that way. One of the footprints is heavier than the other, and the two sets are close together. It's clearly a man and a woman."

However, that direction was different from the route they were following.

Felicia paused for a moment. "You continue forward. I'll go check it out. No need to wait for me."

"Mrs. Russell?" Stanley immediately stepped in front of her. "It's too dangerous for you to leave the team alone! We can't let you take such a risk!"

Felicia shook her head. "You keep going. I'll catch up later."

Stanley tried to stop her, but Felicia dodged him and disappeared into the forest.

Her figure moved swiftly through the trees, and with the thickening fog, her silhouette quickly vanished from sight.

Stanley was beyond frustrated. He tried to chase after her, but another subordinate held him back. "Stanley, finding Mr. Russell is our priority. We need to move quickly!"

"But Mrs. Russell…" Stanley protested.

"Don't worry. Haven't you noticed? Mrs. Russell isn't the fragile woman we thought she was. She's no less capable than any of us," the subordinate reassured him.

Everyone had witnessed it firsthand.

Before entering the rainforest, they had all assumed Felicia would be a burden and had braced themselves for delays because of her. Yet throughout the journey, whether trekking long distances, climbing mountains, or racing against time, Felicia hadn't uttered a single complaint.

She never mentioned being tired or in pain, and she never fell behind. And there was also her remarkable medical skills.

As the fog around her thickened, Felicia put on her gas mask and quickened her steps. She only knew from Sebastian that her parents had gone missing. But she didn't know how many days it had been since they disappeared.

But she knew her parents had gone bankrupt. They had no money and no influence. Even if Sebastian wanted to organize a search, he likely lacked the resources to do so.

Her parents would surely die if she didn't act now.

Felicia's emotions were a mess.

She hated and resented her parents. The trauma from her two lives was something she could never fully heal from or forget.

But when faced with the thought of watching them die, her feet moved faster than her mind could decide.

Felicia chuckled bitterly. She must have done something wrong to have to endure them for two lifetimes.
