Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 397

Felicia glanced at the scene from a distance before quickly looking away.

"Let's go."

"Huh? You're leaving without even taking a proper look?"

The driver had just lit a cigarette, looking like he was enjoying himself, but he put it out reluctantly and continued driving.

After settling the fare, she returned to her rental apartment. Without thinking, she reached for her phone to contact Carmen. When she opened their chat, she realized Carmen was no longer around.

Their conversation had ended last week.

Any messages sent from now on would go unanswered.

After Carmen's death, Tom quickly took the money Felicia gave him and moved his family to start a better life.

The old unit across from here had been handed over to a real estate agent to be sold.

As Felicia headed upstairs, she ran into an agent who was showing the house to some people. The front door was wide open, and voices could be heard from inside occasionally.

She walked in, scanned the area, and headed straight to Carmen's room.

The "room" was actually a storage space turned into a makeshift bedroom with no door, just a curtain for separation.

Aside from a pile of clutter, there was a single bed and an old desk—barely furnished.

This was Felicia's first time visiting Carmen's home.

Under the old desk were several books, one at the bottom of which caught her eye. It had a different cover, and when she pulled it out, she discovered it was Carmen's journal.

The journal was thick and looked quite old. Many pages at the front had been torn out, but the entries resumed further back.

Carmen had torn out her previous entries and stopped writing for a while, possibly because her parents or younger brother had read them.
