Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 373

Carmen was on the verge of collapsing.

Just then, Felicia's call came through.

Carmen's eyes lit up, and she quickly answered the call.

Felicia's voice came through the speaker, laced with a hint of amusement. "Why aren't you back yet? I've cooked three dishes and a soup. Now I'm just waiting for your appetizer."

Carmen's nose tingled, and she couldn't hold back her tears. Forgetting everything else, she screamed desperately into the phone, "Felicia, don't come out! Stay inside and don't come out! Someone wants—" To kill you!

Before she could finish the sentence, someone slapped the phone out of her hand, sending it crashing.

The phone screen shattered into a spiderweb pattern.

The screen went black, and the call was abruptly cut off.

Calvin had caught up, grabbing Carmen by the hair from behind and yanking her backward with all his strength.

She cried out in pain, her mind racing. She remembered the knife in her pocket and immediately pulled it out, stabbing it into his thigh!

Blood poured out!

The cut wasn't deep nor a fatal blow, but he was just an ordinary man. Lacking the strength and resolve to withstand the pain, he screamed and released his grip on her.

Carmen threw the small ball from her pocket at him!

But in her panic, she forgot to disengage the safety switch on the ball. When she threw it, the poison inside didn't spill out.

Calvin kicked the ball away, his face twitching with anger. He became even more vicious and lunged at Carmen again—this time with deadly intent!

Meanwhile, she was only a few steps away from the door!

If she didn't escape, she would die at his hands. The call with Felicia had just ended, and Felicia would come downstairs to look for her!

That would put Felicia in danger!

Carmen no longer cared about anything else. She didn't even know how she managed to break free from Calvin's grip. She only had one thought—she had to get to Felicia!
