Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 492

When it came to Felicia, nothing was ever right!

Everyone seemed entitled to criticize her indiscriminately, to point fingers and blame her for whatever she did!

Everyone stood on a moral high ground, acting as though they could never be wrong. They would lecture her with self-righteous arrogance, judging her at every angle!

Felicia looked Sebastian in the eye and asked, "My dear brother, before coming to me, did you go to Kayla? Mrs. Carrell is her aunt, and Pete Carrell is her cousin. If the Carrells wanted to act against our parents, wouldn't she have had more influence and more grounds to stop them?

"You didn't look for her, did you? You came straight to reprimand me instead. My dear brother, is it because you think I'm the easier one for you to bully?"

Felicia's reddened eyes brimmed with tears, and she let out a bitter laugh.

Sebastian was taken aback by her expression. His body stiffened, and the composed indifference on his face vanished, replaced by a rare moment of befuddlement.

"Licia, I…"

He stood up, intending to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. But before he could reach her, Felicia, with a blank expression, picked up her coffee and splashed it onto his face.

Satisfied, she set the empty cup down and turned to leave.

Sebastian wiped his face, but his clothes and pants were soaked in coffee. He looked utterly disheveled. Never had he appeared so pitiful before.

The café's patrons turned their attention to the commotion, whispering and exchanging curious glances.

Sebastian pulled out two bills from his wallet, left them on the table, and rushed after Felicia. But when he reached the entrance, she was already nowhere to be seen.

…

When Felicia returned to the villa, she found the living room piled with books. She sat cross-legged on the floor, flipping through the pages as though nothing had happened.

Only Stanley knew how low her mood had been after leaving the café. Beneath her calm exterior burned a fierce fire of rage and mixed feelings.
