Chapter 124
But even if Sebastian had heard everything, so what? It didn’t matter.
Felicia asked, “Is there something you need?” Her expression was indifferent, her attitude distant. She radiated an air that kept others at arm’s length. Sebastian couldn’t possibly miss that.
Feeling a bit awkward, Sebastian explained, “Things have been busy at home lately, so I haven’t been able to come see you…” Busy, indeed.
He had been busy with work and taking care of Kayla in the hospital, so much so that no one seemed to remember Felicia’s existence.
“Mm-hmm. Is there anything else?” Felicia glanced back, adding, “I need to go. The store I want to buy from might close soon.”
“Licia…” As Felicia turned to leave, Sebastian called after her while rubbing his temples. “Tomorrow is the weekend. You should come home.”
Felicia hadn’t returned home once since the engagement banquet two months ago.
The shadows of the trees obscured her slender silhouette, and under the chilly moonlight, she paused for a moment. She turned her head to say something before continuing to walk without looking back. Sebastian didn’t catch what she said.
What Felicia said was just a faint whisper, “Where do I even belong? That’s not my home…”
…
For the sake of that 30 million dollars, Shawn loitered outside the Fuller residence all night.
Today was the deadline. If he didn’t get the money by noon, Lance would surely find him and follow through with his threat to chop off his fingers.
After anxiously waiting, Kayla stepped out at 9:00 am.
As the little princess of the Fuller family, she had a dedicated driver. Shawn could only watch helplessly as the luxury car sped by and was unable to stop it.
“Fuck!” Shawn cursed under his breath, running frantically until he finally got an Uber after quite a distance.
Kayla was headed to the mall.
After over a month of recovery, she had finally been granted permission to go out and had arranged a shopping spree with some friends.
After just about ten minutes, Shawn saw Kayla carrying several bags while following behind her. She swiped her black card effortlessly as if it would never run out of money.
His eyes lit up with greed, and when Kayla was about to go to the restroom, he blocked her at the door.
“Kayla, you haven’t forgotten your biological brother, have you?”
Kayla was startled. After their
previous encounter, she recognized Shawn immediately. It was her blood-related brother! What made it worse was that Shawn looked just like her before she had plastic surgery. Just seeing him was enough to infuriate her.
Kayla raised her chin arrogantly, saying, “Didn’t my mom give you 50 million dollars? What do you want now?”
Shawn licked his lips, rubbing his hands together. “I ran into some trouble and urgently need 30 million dollars. You’re my biological sister. You wouldn’t let me suffer, would you?” Thirty million dollars was nothing to Kayla.
“Yes, I do have that much money. I could receive a few hundred million just as my birthday present,” she scoffed. Her gaze was mocking as if she were looking at a clown. “But I won’t give it to you. Does that make you mad?”
Shawn grabbed her arm, refusing to let her pass.
Seething, Kayla yelled, “Let go of me, or I’ll scream!”
“Go ahead, scream louder,” he threatened with a brazen attitude. “If you don’t give me the money, I’ll run out and tell your little friends that I’m your brother. Then, I’ll call our
parents and introduce them
friends!” .
“You-” Kayla felt murderous rage rising within her.

Ever since her identity as a fake heiress was exposed, she had endured countless mocking insults and personally witnessed Howell’s and Tabitha’s shamelessness!
If news of this leaked further, her reputation would be ruined.
What made it worse was that she had plans to meet with Arnold today.
