Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 285

Felicia nodded. "I'm fine with it. Are you sure you won't get caught?"

"Don't worry. My dad and my stepmom took my little brother out. I'm home alone, so I won't get caught!" Carmen laughed and quickly returned with the alcohol.

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

The two clinked their glasses together.

Felicia didn't ask Carmen why her father and stepmother only took her little brother out and left her alone at home, just as Carmen didn't ask why Felicia, the heiress of the Fuller family, was spending the New Year alone.

They exchanged a knowing smile and downed their drinks.

There was a silent understanding between them.

The room warmed up as they ate stew and sipped their drinks. The air was filled with the aroma of the food and a delicate floral fragrance. Outside, the sound of fireworks mixed with the noise from the TV could be heard.

The two continued to eat and drink.

Gradually, Carmen became a little drunk. After a burp, she asked, "Felicia, what's the one thing you want the most right now?"

The one thing she wanted most?

Felicia paused momentarily, and an image of a face unexpectedly flashed through her mind.

She shook her head, then laughed. "I want money, power, and everything else I can have."

"Hahaha... Who doesn't want that?" Carmen laughed loudly, likely quite drunk, and suddenly jumped onto the chair. With one hand raised high, she shouted, "I want to sail the seas and see what the end of the ocean looks like!"

Felicia propped her head up, laughing.

The induction stove was turned off, and the bubbling stew gradually quieted.
