Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 290

Camila clutched Jamie's hand tightly that night, pleading to help her and take her to Ablil to find Maurice!

Jamie was confused and asked why she wanted to find Maurice.

Camila's plan was simple—as long as she could hook herself up with the Glover family, she would eventually be able to make a comeback with their influence and status!

With Jamie's help, she arrived in Ablil and did everything possible to meet this mysterious man.

However, Maurice was different from any man she had ever encountered. Despite her tearful pleas, he didn't even spare her a glance and had her thrown out directly!

Determined, she gritted her teeth and claimed that Stephan had abandoned her.

She didn't have a chance to make up any more excuses, but those words caught his interest, and he decided to keep her around.

She felt a flicker of hope.

But he wasn't keeping her for her beauty; instead, he had her do menial tasks like cleaning floors—jobs only a maid would do!

She had no choice. She was at her wit's end. As long as she could stay in the Glover family, even as a maid, she would eventually find a way to get closer to him.

Over the past month, though she didn't get any chance to seduce him, she realized just how ruthless Maurice was.

Once, when someone accidentally broke a wine glass during a hot spring bath, ruining his mood, he had the person thrown into a high-temperature hot spring, killing them instantly.

He was more terrifying than a demon!

From then on, Camila walked on eggshells, abandoning any thoughts of seducing him.

With a trembling voice, she answered hesitantly, "N-No, I'm just a bit cold…"

"Oh? So you're not afraid of me?"
