Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 268

Mike did a paternity test, and Sandra was indeed his daughter. Ever since then, he had been searching for any trace of her mother, but it was as if she had vanished.

Having been close with Mike, Stephan even tried to help him search, yet no leads had surfaced.

"I see." Felicia sighed, feeling sympathetic. No wonder Sandra would call every woman she saw "mom". Kids were perceptive, and especially at an age when they started to recognize people, she would naturally want her mother.

Stephan suddenly leaned closer. "Do you like kids?"

She was speechless.

At that moment, a realization struck her, and she shot up from the sofa.

However, her movement was too abrupt, and with the exhaustion from yesterday, her leg cramped, sending her stumbling right back—straight into his waiting arms.

He chuckled. "You initiated that."

She was speechless and quickly left.

Seeing she was going out, Kenneth immediately went to bring the car around. As she waited, she overheard a conversation behind the garden.

It was two bodyguards talking.

One of them said, "Mr. Russell got so angry last night that he seized the Lawson family's largest mine and an oil field."

"I know, right? Only Mike had the sense that pleading with Mr. Russell wouldn't work and instead sought help from Ms. Fuller. Otherwise, the Lawson family's newly acquired gold shares would've been lost too!"

"Yeah, but because of this, word about Mr. Russell being in Khogend might get out."

"Well, it's inevitable. The walls have ears. We'll just have to double the patrol and security around the estate from now on to be safe."
