Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 204

As for Felicia's relationship with Kayla in this life, it had reached a breaking point. The gloves were off, and her schemes were only getting more vicious.

…

Three years later, Dexter declared bankruptcy. The once-mighty tycoon of Khogend, known as the wealthiest man in town, fell from grace. In the end, he was left relying on Arnold just to get by.

Felicia circled the word "bankruptcy".

After her rebirth, many events shifted to an earlier timeline. Could it be that the Fuller family's downfall might also come sooner?

The Fuller family was indeed bound to fall sooner or later, and that was precisely why Felicia refused to take the 5% stake. Accepting those shares would only tie her down to a sinking ship, making it harder to walk away when the time came.

Felicia tapped her pen thoughtfully against the paper.

Instead, her mind drifted to a memory from her past life—an opportunity that had solidified Arnold's position as the Lawson family heir.

He had attended a major venture capital conference and invested in three promising startups. Three years later, two of those companies delivered massive returns, earning him wealth and clout.

Eventually, they were absorbed into the Lawson family as subsidiary companies.

Felicia thought about beating Arnold to it as her eyes lit up. Slapping the desk, she jumped up and headed straight for Sebastian's room.

When Felicia told Sebastian she wanted to attend the upcoming venture capital conference, he raised an amused brow.

"There's a conference in Khogend tomorrow." He grinned. "I was planning to skip it, but if you're interested, I'll take you."

The timing couldn't have been better. Even if she didn't find the exact startups Arnold had invested in during her past life, she could keep attending conferences until she did.

Sebastian chuckled, ruffling her hair. "What's gotten into you? Are you planning to dive into investments already? You haven't even got the dividends from that 5% stake yet, and you're already figuring out how to spend it?"

"It's not like that…" Felicia trailed off, her gaze dropping to the floor.

In less than two years, the Fuller family would go bankrupt. Those dividends—if they even materialized—were meaningless. She didn't want them, and she likely wouldn't get them anyway.
