Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53 

Melvin suddenly dropped to his knees with a loud thud. The previously bustling cafeteria fell into a dead silence. 

Everyone was dumbfounded, their jaws almost dropping in disbelief. Their hearts raced as they struggled to comprehend the scene unfolding before them. 

Hidden in the crowd, Kayla gasped, her face reflecting complete disbelief. She thought, “Had he lost his mind? Or was he possessed?” 

Melvin didn’t care about what others thought. He only knew that his father was dying, and with Clive on a flight out of Khogend, the only person who could save Hubert was Felicia. 

Holding back his tears, Melvin pleaded, “Please, help my dad. I’ll even bow down to you.” 

Just an hour ago, he had sent people to comer Felicia to teach her a lesson. Days before that, he even had Lance and his crew kidnap her, hoping she would disappear for good. 

With all the past grievances, Melvin expected Felicia to take this opportunity to humiliate and get revenge on him. But to his surprise, she simply said, “Lead the way.” 

“Huh?” Melvin was stunned, tears in his eyes. 

As Felicia began to walk away, she turned to see him still standing there and repeated, “Lead the way. 

“Oh, okay.” Melvin finally snapped back to reality. He quickly wiped his tears and followed her. The car was waiting at the cafeteria’s entrance, and he promptly opened the door for her.. 

As they drove away, those witnessing the scene remained in shock, unable to comprehend what had just happened. 

Someone in the crowd pieced together the events and murmured, “So, Melvin didn’t like Felicia and tried to target her, but now his dad’s life is in danger and only Felicia can help?” 

“Wow, what kind of background does Felicia have?” Realizing this, the crowd turned to Kayla, who was grinding her teeth in frustration. 

She replied softly, “I have no idea…” 

Kayla had heard whispers recently about Felicia frequently visiting the Walsh residence. There were even rumors that Clive had publicly declared Felicia as his successor and the heiress to the Walsh family. 

Initially, Kayla found this laughable and dismissed it. But now, she realized that this news was likely true. She realized she had underestimated Felicia, failing to grasp the full extent of her background. 

Given this new information, Kayla was even more determined that Felicia couldn’t be allowed to live. 

The car came to a stop in front of Harmony Medical Center. Melvin quickly exited and rushed to open the door for Felicia.
