Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 532

Felicia was flabbergasted. She could never have imagined that Kayla, in her attempt to connect with her family, would ultimately lose her life—and at the hands of the Carrell family no less! By blood relations, Pete was her distant cousin!

Felicia wanted to observe further, but the distance was too great. And the thin layer of fog floating within the canyon obscured her view. Now that Kayla had fallen, her fate was uncertain.

During this brief pause, Stephan's men had already secured three ropes, clearly preparing to descend into the canyon.

Just as Felicia reached for another rope, Stephan held her hand, stopping her. "Stay up here. Don't move. I'll grab what we need and come back. Wait for me."

Grab what? Before Felicia could even voice out the question in her mind, Stephan released her hand and plunged downward like a shooting star. In mere seconds, he vanished from her sight!

Felicia was startled, then furious. Was he trying to lose his hands permanently? Despite having his hands badly wounded, he still descended at such a crazy speed!

If he failed to stop in time and crashed at the bottom, the height alone could kill him in an instant.

The gust of wind from Stephan's descent dispersed some of the fog. Using her binoculars, she saw him land with an incredibly smooth and composed motion, his posture sharp and confident.

He seemed to sense Felicia watching and tilted his head upward and gestured to her to calm down. It was as if he were patting her head from afar.

She rolled her eyes in exasperation. Gripping the rope in front of her, she felt an urge to follow him down. She was never one to simply wait as told. But before she could act, a group of Stephan's men surrounded her and blocked her way.

"Ma'am, Mr. Russell has already gone down with a team. Please don't go. It's too dangerous!"

Felicia considered her own abilities and reluctantly restrained herself. She sat on the cliff edge above the canyon, occasionally using her binoculars to check for any movement below.

Unfortunately, the fog was growing thicker, and visibility became increasingly poor.
