Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 417

At first, it didn't occur to Dexter who Myra was referring to. It took him a few seconds to process and understand the "wretched girl" she mentioned was Felicia.

If there had been another person present, they might have wondered how could these two not even know who their daughter was.

However, it was more likely that they would be shocked by how these parents could call their biological daughter a curse.

Either way, it would still be rather incomprehensible.

Dexter sighed weakly. "Stop saying nonsense. Let's focus on figuring out what to do next…"

Myra, however, had completely given up, ranting, "This whole thing has nothing to do with us in the first place! Let them say whatever they want! We've handed over the map. If it got swapped midway, that's their problem to figure out!"

Although it was easy for her to say that, it wasn't that easy for this incident to die down.

Human desire was like a huge web. With the appearance of a legendary item like the map, who could resist getting caught in its grasp?

After his initial frustration, Dexter slowly calmed down. With his hand behind his back, he paced around the room before suddenly saying, "Something's not right. It doesn't make sense."

"What doesn't make sense?' Myra asked.

"That map—we put it in the box ourselves and locked it. No outsiders handled it at any point. If anything, Kayla was the only one who touched it…"

"What are you implying?"

"What if Kayla… stole the map?"

Doubt started to take hold in Dexter's mind. He picked up the fake map that was thrown on the floor and examined it closely.
