Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 101

Talia lifted her eyelids. Then, with a mocking smirk, she said, "I could say this many times, and it wouldn't change the fact that the mastermind behind the plan to poison Felicia is none other than Kayla!"

"No way! No way…"

Myra stumbled back a step, repeating the words like a mantra.

Kayla could hardly believe the tables had turned on her, so she vehemently denied it. "I'm innocent! I've never done anything like that, I swear!"

"Mom, you have to believe me! I really did not have such intentions! My cousin's been cornered, which is why she's lashing out! I'm innocent!"

Kayla tightly grasped Myra's hand. As the tears streamed down her cheeks, she cried pitifully as she truly felt wronged.

Myra calmed her mind and asked in a low voice, "Kayla, I need you to be honest with me. Did you do such a thing? As long as you tell the truth, I'll believe you!"

That last sentence confirmed Kayla's unshakeable position in Myra's heart, exemplifying what a mother-daughter bond looked like.

Immediately, Kayla shook her head and raised her hand in an oath. "No! Mom, I swear I didn't… I have no idea why Talia would accuse me. I swear, if I did something like this, I'd be doomed!"

"Thank goodness she didn't," was what Myra thought.

Just as Myra was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Felicia casually adjusted her ear and accidentally pressed another button on the recorder.

Suddenly, the speakers around them blared with Kayla's arrogant voice.

"Did you get it? Hand it over."

Then came Roberta's trembling response. "But this is poison. If you don't tell me what it is for, I won't give it to you."

Kayla's face paled as the recording played. She instinctively lunged for Felicia's recorder, trying to shut it down.
