Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 664

Scarlet shifted gears and hit the gas in one smooth motion, sending up a cloud of dust as the car sped off. It quickly vanished from view.

It wasn't until Maurice was completely out of sight that Scarlet finally spoke up, "Boss, do you really think he went to all that trouble just for a bottle of medicine? Doesn't that seem… off?"

"I don't know," Felicia replied with a frown. Maurice's unpredictable nature always kept her on edge. Though he had toned it down a bit recently—even letting Dexter and Myra go during the rainforest incident—it didn't change the fact that Maurice was a dangerous man.

The best way to deal with someone like him was to stay far, far away.

A thought suddenly struck Felicia. She glanced at the back of her hand, where Maurice had patted her earlier. For some reason, that spot felt faintly itchy.

But after inspecting it closely, she saw nothing unusual.

Was it just her imagination?

Shaking her head, Felicia muttered, "I should keep my distance next time."

Before long, the car returned to the Russell residence.

Later that evening, Stephan arrived home. Felicia, meanwhile, was in the bedroom, packing her belongings.

She had come here on short notice and had brought almost nothing with her, but after a few days of staying at the Russell residence, her things had somehow multiplied. Stephan had insisted on buying her clothes and essentials, filling up the walk-in closet with everything she could possibly need.

Not wanting to bother with a suitcase, Felicia packed only the items she had actually used into a backpack.

As she zipped it up, the bedroom door swung open. Felicia looked up to see Stephan walking toward her, unbuttoning his shirt as he came closer.

The bright lights made everything feel a bit surreal, and even when he was standing right in front of her, his handsome features looked almost too perfect to be real.

Felicia cleared her throat and was just about to look away when Stephan cupped her chin, tilting her head upward. A moment later, his warm, dry lips pressed against hers.

After washing up and eating, it was already 2:00 pm.

"Let's go," Felicia said.

She exchanged goodbyes with Imogen, who walked with her all the way to the airstrip behind the residence. "Come back anytime," Imogen reminded her warmly.

Felicia didn't say much, only giving Stephan a quick glance before boarding the plane with Scarlet.

But just as they were about to step onto the aircraft, something caught Felicia's attention.

From the other end of the airstrip, a strong beam of light flashed several times. Felicia instinctively turned to look and spotted someone on the mountain road holding up a mirror, using the sunlight to signal in their direction.

That person was none other than Johanna!
