Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 202

Kayla frowned deeply. She didn't know all the details of what had happened that night. She only knew that Shawn had lured Felicia to the hillside, shoved her off the cliff, and left her for dead, thinking the rushing water would do the rest.

However, she now realized someone else had been there.

Who could it have been?

Her mind raced, flashing back to the day she'd gone to the Lawson family to call off the engagement. She remembered Felicia stepping out of a man's car and the fleeting glimpse she'd caught of him—a stunning, unforgettable presence.

"Damn it!" Kayla slammed her fist against the car seat, forcing herself to calm down. After a moment, she hissed into the phone, "Do you want more money? Fine. Finish the job. Get rid of Felicia, and this time, I'll pay you even more."

Her black card had no spending limit, and soon, she would have an additional 4% stake in the Fuller Group. The annual dividends alone were a fortune.

She could definitely afford to pay Shawn more. It was a drop in the ocean for Kayla.

Spending that amount was definitely worth it if it meant getting rid of Felicia for good.

"Really?" Shawn was eager. He was desperate, willing to risk anything for the cash. "Then, meet me. Bring the down payment. I'm hiding under the bridge at Cedar Street."

Even over the phone, Kayla wrinkled her nose in disgust. Cedar Street was infamous for its bridge—a haven for trash, vagrants, and the foulest smells. There was no way she would ruin her shoes by stepping foot there.

"Why don't you meet me by the nearby beach?" she suggested sharply. "I'll grab the cash and head over."

"Sure, whatever you say."

…

Meanwhile, Ruben had just finished loading the last of Kayla's shopping bags into the trunk. As he shut it, he caught Kayla's mention of withdrawing cash. His mind immediately raced.

The last time Kayla had made a cash withdrawal, it had been for Shawn—hush money and a down payment for his failed attempt to harm Felicia.

And now, once again…

Ruben's demeanor shifted in an instant. Putting on a façade of subservience, he asked, "Ms. Kayla, are we heading back to the Fuller residence, or do you have other plans?"
