Chapter 429
This dynamic persisted until Felicia returned to her apartment building. Finally, Maurice stopped following her.
Once Felicia went upstairs, the first thing she did was lock all the doors and windows. After doing that, she walked to the window and looked out, only to see Maurice still standing below.
As it sensing her gaze, Maurice raised his head and smiled up at her window. His expression wasn’t clear from a distance, but his demeanor remained as indifferent as ever with a hint of teasing playfulness.
There were no tricks and retaliation. It seemed he had genuinely come to see her home safely.
“He’s crazy,” Felicia was calm as ever and pulled the curtains shut.
In her mind, Maurice was far too unpredictable. No one could ever guess his thoughts, and his actions were entirely random, driven purely by whim and mood, Someone like him was better kept at a distance.
Downstairs, Maurice lowered his head, fully aware that he had been given the cold shoulder again. The light above cast shadows over his sharp brows and high- bridged nose
He let out a low chuckle, which then turned to a string of laughter.
why would he laugh in
The four subordinates from the Glover family exchanged bewildered glances, confused. They were wondering if Maurice had lost it because why would such a situation?
After laughing for a while, Maurice stopped. The curve of his lips gradually flattened, and his gaze sharpened. “What about those people following us? Have you all handled them?”
Mr. Glover, they’ve
ve been dealt with as per your orders,” a subordinate replied respectfully,
Unbeknownst to Felicia, she had already been secretly targeted by more than one group of people. Maurice’s men silently dealt with those who had planned to act against her that night, leaving no trace of their actions.
Maurice got back into the car. “Let’s go.”
Then, the engine roared to life, and the vehicle disappeared into the night.
Felicia slept soundly that night.
The renovation in the villa Felicia had purchased was finally completed as the weather grew warmer. She even personally inspected it and was pleased with the
results
Most of the design blueprints were her own, and the outcome was nearly identical to what she had envisioned.
On the day the flowers in Khogend bloomed most vibrantly, the villa had been thoroughly aired out and was ready for Felicia to move in. Hence, she terminated her cental lease and moved in with her modest belongings
Living alone might be a bit lonely, but at least this was Felicia’s own space. This place was a home that belonged solely to her. No one could ever and exile her again.
her to get out
On her first night in the new home, Felicia suddenly remembered that the Fuller family had declared bankruptcy. She even heard that their multi–million–dollar mansion was auctioned off to pay debts.
She was now wealthy while the Fuller family was destitute. What a twist of events
After that, Felicia retrieved a few bank cards. One was from Dexter, which was given to her as pocket money. Although it couldn’t compare to Kayla’s unlimited bankcard, Felicia hadn’t spent a cent from it.
The other one was gifted by her grandfather, Clive, during the reunion banquet when she was brought back to the Fuller family. It was a one–time compensation for the 18 years of missed birthday gilts
Overall, the cards contained several hundred thousand dollars.
After some thought, Felicia decided to retum the cards via delivery. However, she was caught off guard the next day by the arrival of truckloads of items before she could arrange for pickup.
Two delivery trucks parked before her villa, and someone approached her with a courteous demeanor the moment she stepped outside. “Good day, Ms. Fuller” “Are you from the Lawson family?” Felicia recalled this person. He was the one who had driven for Mike the night Sandra was abducted
