Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 358

"It seems that this challenge wasn't enough to trouble her."

Hearing this, Maurice's loyal subordinates became even more convinced that it was Maurice who sent the assassins.

The subordinates thought that Maurice was taking things too far and playing with fire.

Maurice couldn't care less about what his men were thinking. He simply ordered, "Keep tailing her. Report back to me on any updates immediately."

"Yes, sir!" replied the subordinates.

After ending the call, Maurice glanced in the direction of Grandeur Hall and asked the subordinate behind him, "How much did Kelsey spend hiring these people?"

The subordinate replied honestly, "Two million dollars. Their rates are usually much higher, but since the target was just a young lady, they lowered it."

Maurice couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Seventeen subordinates. It was supposed to be a sure win, but they had all been utterly defeated.

"Let's go. Grab some gifts and we'll pay that old lady a visit."

Maurice, who was now on his feet, had long since abandoned his wheelchair. Although his arms had not healed entirely, it did very little to affect his uncontrollable temper.

…

At Grandeur Hall, Kelsey was in shock when the news reached her.

"What? All seventeen assassins couldn't even handle one young woman? They're all useless!"

"Mrs. Glovers Senior, please stay calm. Perhaps Mr. Glover's subordinates were simply too strong. With them protecting Felicia, it's understandable that the attempt failed—"

"Maurice only sent four people! Seventeen against four, and they still lost? What a joke!"
