Return of the Crowned Heiress (Felicia)
Return Of The Crowned Heiress 39

Chapter 39

Roberta, who was pushed out, had bruises on her hands and feet.

She stumbled and fell to the ground, her long black hair obscuring half her face. She appeared timid, trembling slightly, like a frightened rabbit. Felicia immediately recognized the girl as the one she had rescued from the village, only for her to abandon Felicia and escape on her own She had thought they would never cross paths again, yet here they were..

Fate truly had a strange way of working.

At that moment, Amber stepped in to introduce, "Ms. Felicia, she's also part of Mr. Noah's family, but.... she's the illegitimate child named Roberta Walsh."

"Six months ago, Mrs. Walsh sent her abroad for studies. However, just a few days ago, she suddenly returned home, covered in injuries and claiming she had been robbed on the way back." "Study abroad?" Felicia thought.

Studying Roberta's situation, she couldn't help but laugh. The moment she learned Roberta was the illegitimate child, everything became clear.

It was just another story from a wealthy family-the legitimate wife couldn't accept the illegitimate daughter, so she used studying abroad as a cover to send her off to human traffickers, allowing her to be bullied.

But it was that man's infidelity that caused all this. Felicia got out of her wheelchair and hobbled toward

Roberta.

Roberta, sitting on the ground, kept her head down. She recognized Felicia but didn't dare look up until Felicia stood before her.

Trembling, she slowly raised her head and tearfully said, "Felicia, no, Aunt Felicia... I'm sorry..."

She kept murmuring. I'm sorry."

In that endless night of despair, she panicked and escaped without thinking, leaving Felicia behind.

Roberta choked on her sobs, covering her face as she cried, "I'm really sorry.."

Felicia closed her eyes. She understood Roberta's fear and despair at that moment. After being Imprisoned and tortured for six months, finally seeing a glimmer of hope, she just wanted to escape at any cost.

Wanting to survive was not wrong. Yet, as the one who had been betrayed, Felicia understood but couldn't forgive.

Felicia sighed and reached out to help Roberta up, but she stubbornly knelt on the ground, wanting to

atone in this manner.

Felicia said helplessly, "I'm injured and can't stand steadily. I can't hold you up, so please get up."

Hearing this, Roberta quickly stood, afraid of putting any weight on Felicia. Her face was filled with shame as she urgently asked, "Felicia, no, Aunt Felicia, are you seriously injured? Will there be any aftereffects?" Felicia found it amusing and replied, "What if there are?

"I would work my whole life to make it up to you," Roberta said. Tears were still on her face, but her

expression was serious.

Felicia shook her head and said, "Don't worry about that. My injury isn't serious. I'll be fine in no time."

Upon hearing her words, Roberta breathed a sigh of relief. Then she said, "Thank goodness you're okay. Otherwise, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life..." Felicia didn't catch the last part she said clearly. Just as she was about to ask, a glamorous middle-aged woman approached from the direction of the Lunar Arch. The woman wore a dress, draped in a fur coat, and walked in high heels, exuding an air of wealth.

Upon seeing her, Roberta's body trembled as if she had been electrocuted. Fear was etched into her being.

Felicia observed quietly, guessing that this woman was Noah's daughter-in-law. In terms of seniority, she was Felicia's sister-in-law. Her name was Talia Tomlinson. As soon as

appeared, she ignored Felicia and scolded Roberta, "Don't you know we have guests? The kitchen is so busy, you should help out." "I'll go right away."

Roberta started to leave but was called back. "And remember to wash my clothes. They're made of silk. and need to be hand-washed."
