Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 575

The subordinate took the slip of paper without surprise, clearly accustomed to such tasks. He lowered his head slightly and then left the room.

Pete sat alone by the window, gazing at the moon above. Unbidden, a vivid and striking face appeared in his mind.

Meanwhile, in Ablil, the weather was completely different. Rain poured heavily, accompanied by raging winds, flashes of lightning, and rolling thunder.

In the Glovers family's luxurious estate, Maurice was listening to a report from his subordinates. When he heard that Stephan had returned from the rainforest blinded, his reaction was one of glee.
