Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 597

Felicia felt a little guilty.

Scarlet stopped laughing and raised her brows. "I really have to thank you. After I told them I'm your personal bodyguard, not only did the Russell family not send me away, but they even treated me to good food and drink."

Felicia clicked her tongue, then shook her head with a sigh. "In the past, I never would've even dared to imagine this."

"That's good."

Felicia relaxed her brows and smiled along with her.

At that moment, Stanley hurried over and addressed Felicia, "Ma'am, where are you going?"

Felicia didn't answer but asked in return, "What's the matter?"

Stanley scratched his head, looking somewhat awkward. After a pause, he replied, "Ma'am, Mr. Russell instructed that if you're going out, we must follow you to ensure your safety."

Even though Felicia hadn't gone out in the last two days, she knew that rumors were already spreading.

Now, everyone outside knew that Stephan had been poisoned, and there was no cure in sight. It wouldn't be long before some bold people tried to take advantage of the situation and target the Russell family.

Other probing attempts were sure to be numerous as well.

Since Felicia was in Seldvale, she would inevitably become a target. Anyone who took a little time to investigate would soon realize how special her position was in Stephan's heart.

In the eyes of others, she was Stephan's Achilles' heel.

Felicia paused for a moment. She was unwilling to ruin Stephan's plans at this time, so she responded, "I'm not going out. I'm just taking a walk nearby."

After all, the Russell family owned vast land, and the entire mountain belonged to them. Even if she were to drive nearby, she would still be within the confines of the Russell residence, much less if she was just walking around.

Stanley visibly relaxed and lowered his head respectfully. "Alright, ma'am. Feel free to stroll. If you need anything, just call me. I'll be there right away."
