Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 167

Lucas was shoved with a force that sent his small body tumbling onto a pile of dirt and weeds. Luckily, the cushion of dirt softened his fall, so he wasn't hurt.

First, he lifted his head and shouted in shock, "Felicia!"

But down that slippery slope, there was no trace of Felicia's figure.

"Hahaha!"

Shawn burst into wild laughter, clutching a small shard of porcelain he had dug out of the ground. Blood smeared the shard—a trace left from when he had slashed Felicia earlier as she protected Lucas.

Fate was truly on his side! It was the perfect timing, the perfect place, and the perfect setup!

Felicia hadn't noticed the slope beside her that led down to a cliff and waterfall. Her attention had been on Lucas, and Shawn had taken advantage of the last ounce of his strength for a desperate final strike!

If he failed this time, he would accept it. But it was clear that fate was smiling on him now!

Felicia had fallen off the cliff below, and there was no chance of survival!

Shawn's laughter was maniacal. Lucas sat on the ground in shock, his small face filled with terror. Shawn's piercing gaze froze him in place as he instinctively tried to run.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Shawn sneered, grabbing Lucas's arm. He grinned maliciously as he said, "You're going down there too!"

Just as he was about to toss Lucas over the edge, someone moved faster. A hand caught Lucas, and with one powerful kick, Shawn was sent flying several meters, coughing up blood before his head smacked hard against a rock, rendering him unconscious.

It was Stephan who had heard the commotion and returned just in time.

Lucas began to cry, pointing toward the slope and the cliff. "Felicia! She fell—she fell there!"

Stephan set Lucas aside and immediately looked down the steep slope.

Felicia had fallen?
