Return of the Crowned Heiress (Felicia)

Chapter

32

Once Kayla had her fill of satisfaction, she touched up her makeup and headed downstairs to play the role of a concerned sister.

When she heard about Felicia's disappearance, Kayla covered her mouth in disbelief. "Mom, you're saying Felicia was kidnapped? That's impossible! She was just brought back home a few days ago. How could she have made any enemies?" Myra shared the same thoughts, but the situation had already occurred. Their priority was to find Felicia.

Kayla handed Myra a tissue to wipe her tears and hesitated before speaking. "Mom, there's something I'm not sure I should say. If it's the wrong thing to say, please don't be upset with me."

"Just say it. How could I ever be mad at you?"

Kayla bit her lip and continued, "Do you remember my high school friends? The twin sisters, Yvonne Clayton and Vivian Clayton? I had them over to our house last year."

"I remember. Why do you bring this up?" Myra asked, her eyes red and curious.

Kayla pressed on. "Their family always favored Yvonne. There were several times when Vivian resorted to extreme measures to get attention, such as running away from home or threatening to jump off a bridge.

"So I was wondering, is it possible that this whole thing is just a show Felicia orchestrated? Maybe she's pretending to be kidnapped to make you and Dad feel guilty and give her more attention and love?"

Kayla's voice was calm but persuasive. "Otherwise, why would kidnappers take someone and not ask for ransom?"

People would go to great lengths for money, just as birds would risk everything for their next meal.

The Fuller family were among the wealthiest in Khogend. It was hard to believe that any kidnappers would pass up such a substantial ransom.

Myra and Dexter exchanged glances, their expressions showing doubt.

"Mom, think about it. Felicia has been unhappy with us lately. She might be angry because she feels you favor me and neglected her. Maybe she has come up with this scheme to get attention," Kayla continued, her words igniting suspicion. Myra didn't want to believe it, but uncertainty crept in. Felicia had only just returned to the Fuller residence a few days ago.

Despite their extravagant reunion party to announce her arrival, she hadn't uttered a single affectionate word or shown any warmth.

She didn't even call them "Mom" and "Dad".

Ever before that, there had been some tension between Myra and Felicia due to Kayla,

In a twisted scenario, there was a possibility that Felicia, had staged her own kidnapping to compete for attention with Kayla.

Myra frowned, her tone laced with frustration. "If that's the case, then that girl is far too willful. She doesn't act like my daughter at all." Dexter remained quiet, choosing not to jump to conclusions.

"Mom, don't be upset. After all, you need to remember the environment Felicia grew up in. It's natural she might pick up some bad habits/

Kayla comforted Myra, a smirk tugging at her lips. Felicia wouldn't be coming back.

She needed to keep Myra calm and make her think negatively of Felicia. So, when they eventually found. Felicia's body, Myra's first thought would be that Felicia had orchestrated her own kidnapping, leading to her accidental death. It was a classic case of reaping what she sowed.

At that point, Myra and Dexter would feel only a slight sense of sorrow and guilt. Felicia's name would no longer be mentioned.

Kayla suppressed her joy, putting on a sweet and obedient demeanor as she massaged Myra's shoulders. Just then, a bodyguard rushed in, reporting. "Mr. Fuller, Mrs. Fuller, Ms. Felicia is back." Kayla's eyes widened in disbelief. She thought, "What? Felicia is back alive?"
