Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 530

After a few shots, those who had been climbing the rock face—no matter how strong or famous they had been in life—turned into cold, lifeless corpses at the bottom.

They were caught off guard, and even those who realized what was happening had nowhere to run.

Their blood spread, staining the ground. The intricate patterns came to life, almost completely illuminated. There was just a little bit more to go.

But just when it seemed it would be completed, it stopped abruptly.

Pete ordered for two more shots to be fired into the depths, but it was still insufficient to complete the last pattern.

"Alas…" Pete sighed, almost as though he was disappointed, but it seemed to be within his calculations as well.

He then turned to Kayla, offering her a soft, affectionate smile. He asked slowly, "Kayla, do you love me?"

Kayla froze for a moment. She felt the progression was a bit too fast. After all, they hadn't even officially become a couple, and he was jumping straight to this question already.

However, she had to admit that she had deep feelings for Pete, and she also valued the power and influence of the Carrell family.

Securing this man was the best option for her at the moment!

So, she nodded vigorously. Her gaze was tender, shy, and bashful as she replied, "Pete, you already know the answer. My heart is yours. Of course, I love you…"

"Great. Since you love me, you're willing to do anything for me, right?" Pete asked as he took a step closer to her, his breath nearly brushing her ear. His posture was intimate and enticing, like a lover's whisper—tender yet alluring.
