When Felicia stumbled into the Fuller residence, she was covered in blood, limping painfully. Her face was swollen, and her arms and legs were marked with numerous cuts and scrapes. It was a shocking sight.
Dexter and Myra were stunned. Just moments before, they had been specting whether Felicia had staged this entire incident for attention.
But now, seeing Felicia in such a condition made them realize how absurd their thoughts had been.
"Licia, are you okay? I''ve been worried sick about you all night." Myra pushed Ka aside and got up from the couch, rushing toward Felicia.
She wanted to help Felicia but hesitated, afraid of causing her pain. Tears streamed down her cheeks from worry.
"Get a doctor, now!" Dexter shouted at a nearby maid.
Felicia sat on the couch, her face pale from blood loss, her lips devoid of color. Only her eyes remained clear and sharp.
"Licia, what happenedst night? Who kidnapped you?" Myra asked urgently.
Dexter nodded and said, "Just tell us. I''ll make sure we find out who''s behind this."
Felicia ignored them, her gaze fixed intently on Ka.
Ka clenched her fists, maintaining an innocent facade. She said, "Felicia, I''m just d you''re safe. Wel were so worried about youst night. We were afraid something terrible had happened to you."
Since learning about Felicia''s kidnapping at 10:00 pm the previous night, the Fullers had not slept. They mobilized every resource they had to secretly search for her.
Ka wore an innocent expression, still trying to pin the me on Felicia for staging the whole act. She asked, "But Dad and I waited all night and didn''t receive any ransom calls from the kidnappers. How did you manage to escape, Felicia?" Hearing this question, Felicia''s mind raced, and she quickly grasped Ka''s intent.
Ka wondered how a defenseless young woman like Felicia could have gotten away unscathed while facing four or five strong kidnappers.
If it wasn''t a setup, no one would believe it. Ka waited eagerly for Felicia''s response, a smile lingering on her lips.
Felicia smirked, not about to fall into the self-incriminating trap Ka had set for her. Instead, she said, "I know who kidnapped me."
Myra and Dexter looked surprised and asked simultaneously, "Who?"
The Fuller family was a prominent family in Khogend, and they had enemies, both known and hidden. If they didn''t get to the bottom of this, it could easily happen again.
"The person goes by the nickname ''Lance.'' He''s a loan shark and a thug. After I was rescued, he ran off and probably hasn''t returned to Khogend yet."
Felicia continued, "I have no grievances with him. Even if there were minor conflicts, he wouldn''t want my life."

After all, Felicia was the Fullers'' legitimate daughter, the one they had just found and acknowledged.
There was no way Lance and hisckeys would have the audacity to confront the Fuller family. Someone must be behind this. If they followed this lead, they would surely uncover something. Dexter''s expression darkened. He was usually kind and had few enemies. He had never done anything truly terrible.
But now, someone was trying to
harm his daughter, and that was intolerable.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
He gently patted Felicia''s head, reassuring her. "When the doctor arrives, they''ll treat your wounds properly. I''ll send people out to investigate immediately. I promise this won''t happen again." Felicia smiled but didn''t take it seriously.
However, Ka''s expression soured. She stood up from the couch and called out to Dexter, "Dad, shouldn''t we check on Felicia''s injuries first? What if they''re all superficial?" She suspected this was just Felicia''s ploy for sympathy
Dexter picked up his phone and issued severalmands. He had plenty of money and people at his disposal, so he wouldn''t need to investigate personally.
Ka felt a sense of urgency. If this incident was traced back to Melvin, she was afraid he might let something slip, especially since she was the one behind it all.
