Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 563

"Is that really what Felicia wants?"

Sebastian's expression darkened, his lips pressed tightly together. His emotions were a mess, but when he thought of his family's current situation, he let out a bitter laugh and then left without a word.

"Wait!"

After just a few steps, Scarlet called out to him again and tossed him a card.

Sebastian recognized it at a glance. It was the same card Dexter had given Felicia when she was first brought back to the Fuller family. The card was meant as pocket money, tied to an account loaded with 500 thousand dollars.

"My boss said she has never touched a single cent of this money. Now, it's being returned, so consider everything settled. You can leave now, and don't come back to bother her."

Scarlet didn't care whether he wanted the card or not. She shoved it into his hands.

Before turning around to leave, she gave him a once-over, head to toe, before sneering, "Your family's judgment really is terrible. Mistaking a fraud for the real one and then treating the real one as trash. And now, you have the nerve to regret it?"

Rolling her eyes, Scarlet turned around and sashayed away.

By the time Sebastian left, the sky had grown dark. Dark clouds loomed overhead, and a bolt of lightning split the sky, followed by a loud clap of thunder. Soon, large raindrops began to fall.

People on the streets hurried off to find shelter or opened umbrellas they had prepared in advance.

But Sebastian neither sought cover nor opened an umbrella. He walked through the rain, soaked to the skin by the time he returned home.

In the kitchen, Dexter, who had never cooked before, was clumsily preparing a meal. When he saw his son return, he was startled and accidentally splattered hot oil on the back of his hand, causing him to hiss in pain.

"Sebastian, did you manage to see Felicia? It's pouring out there. Why are you soaked? Go take a shower and change your clothes. Dinner's almost ready."
