Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 110

Someone quickly reacted, shouting, "Go tell Mr. Lawson Senior!"

One of the bodyguards rushed off to deliver the message. While everyone's attention was on Arnold's departure, Felicia seized the moment, lifting her gown to kick off her high heels!

This was the opportunity for her to escape.

She darted away, the bright red gown trailing behind her like a flickering flame in the dreamlike hallway.

The bodyguards yelled in frustration and took off after her!

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was lively and boisterous, filled with guests mingling and clinking glasses, all eagerly waiting for the appearance of the main couple of the engagement.

But soon, a bodyguard hurried in, whispering something to Matthew. Beneath the calm surface of the event, a subtle ripple of unrest began to form, but it was quickly masked.

...

At that moment, on the top floor of the banquet hall.

Stephan, tall and statuesque, stood by a massive floor-to-ceiling window. His dark eyes were calm and deep as he surveyed everything below.

The room was dim, lit only by the cool moonlight streaming in, casting a long shadow on the ground that seemed thick as ink, radiating a chilling air that warned others to stay away.

Just then, the switch clicked, and the lights turned on.

Mike walked in, curious. "Mr. Russell, why are the lights off? What are you looking at?"

Stephen glanced at him.

Mike caught on, quickening his pace to the window. Sure enough, he saw Arnold rush into the parking lot and drive away in a hurry.

"No way! The engagement banquet has already started, and he is going to leave his fiancée behind?"

Mike's expression was one of disbelief, knowing all too well how furious Matthew would be.
