Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 183

Felicia couldn't help but laugh.

If it were any other time, she would have had the energy to retort to each of them, but today, she was genuinely too tired and uninterested, so she just responded coldly, "Do we have a close relationship? Do I really need to report to you?"

"You—"

Arnold's first thought was that he was her fiancé! How could she say that?

But with so many people around, he wasn't about to admit that, or it would be humiliating. He quickly changed his approach, saying, "I'm the leader of this team. If something happens to you, wouldn't I be responsible?

"Besides, we've been looking for you for so long, and you didn't even say thank you. Do you have a conscience?"

"Oh, thank you then." Felicia's tone was indifferent. Although the "thank you" was sincere, it sounded weak because she was still unwell.

However, it seemed dismissive to Arnold and Kayla.

In a pitiful tone, Kayla said, "Felicia, we were really worried about you. We didn't sleep at all last night trying to find you!"

Although, in reality, only the bodyguards and drivers Arnold had sent out and the villagers were actually looking for her, she had to make it sound more dramatic.

Moreover, they had been exhausted from looking all afternoon. They weren't invincible and needed rest.

Felicia suspected she hadn't clarified herself enough, so she added, "Thank you for your kindness. I'll treat everyone to a meal when I get a chance. It's very late now, so you should all go to rest. I need to rest too."

That should have been enough, right?

Felicia held Cloud and turned to head back. Kayla gritted her teeth, unwilling to let it go. She hadn't expected Felicia to simply let things slide without getting angry. Instead, she spoke such polite words.

She didn't want to see Felicia getting along peacefully with others!
