Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 332

Maurice froze for a moment. Wait... She actually pulled that off? Not only did Felicia survive, but she even had the audacity to flip him the bird.

And just like that, Maurice burst into laughter.

It wasn't a chuckle, either—it was a full-throated, chest-shaking laugh that echoed across the enclosure.

Everyone else was also completely baffled.

But there was no denying it—Felicia had just defied every single expectation.

What everyone thought would be her gruesome end turned into an incredible show of survival. Step by step, she lured the crocodiles into attacking each other. She narrowly avoided their jaws and came out of it completely unscathed.

Some of the men breathed a sigh of relief. After all, her death would've spelled trouble for Maurice.

Not everyone was happy, though. Standing in the shadows, Abbie's face twisted in frustration.

It was bad enough that she was disfigured by the crocodiles. Now, watching Felicia not only survive but win? It was unbearable. Why should Felicia get to escape when she couldn't? Jealousy churned in her chest.

And then an idea hit her—Maurice's other "pet". The bear that lived just beyond this enclosure.

The thought made Abbie's lips twitch into a smile, but she didn't dare suggest it outright. Maurice was too unpredictable. One wrong move, and she'd end up back in that crocodile pool.

But then, as if reading her mind, Maurice casually said, "Open the gate to the next enclosure. Let the bear out."

Abbie's heart skipped. Was this guy telepathic?

The men moved quickly, unlocking the partition between the crocodile pool and the small forest where the grizzly bear resided. They created a commotion to draw the animal out.

Up in her tree, Felicia's stomach sank.
