Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 402

The mother and daughter snuck out in their disguise, terrified of being recognized. Only after getting into the car did they finally sigh in relief.

Not far away, a flash went off.

Myra's face fell, and she urged the driver, "There are reporters behind us. Step on the gas!"

The driver didn't dare delay and sped off, causing the two in the back seat to feel dizzy by the acceleration. Eventually, they managed to shake off the reporters and return to the Fuller residence.

The atmosphere in the house was tense. It was far worse than the last time Kayla had been arrested.

Dexter had stitches on his head, with thick gauze and a netted cap wrapped around it. He looked haggard, a far cry from his once energetic appearance.

The phone beside him rang with calls from the company. Their partnerships were being terminated, and rival companies were poaching his top employees.

Dexter turned off the phone, not wanting to see the mess.

When Myra came home, Dexter smiled as he always did. "Where have you two been?"

"Nowhere. We just went out for a walk," Myra replied as she sat beside him. "Does your head still hurt?"

"No." Dexter held her hand and added lightheartedly, "My rivals have made their move and are coming for our throats. This time... I don't think I'll recover."

"It's okay. There's nothing to be afraid of as long as we're together," Myra muttered, her eyes filled with pity.

Dexter laughed and tried to lighten up the mood. "Maybe our family will have to live on the streets soon."
