Chapter 400
Felicia got up from the sofa, looking at the open window, puzzled. When had she opened it?
Could someone have climbed in through the window again?
It was unlikely.
She probably opened it earlier and just forgot.
She closed the window again and drew the curtains shut.
Sitting back down on the sofa, the wind made her sweat chill, and her skin felt cold.
She sneezed, ignoring the stuffy feeling in her nose. Her mind kept replaying the last voice she heard in her previous life.
Who was the person who had covered her with the coat?
A kind passerby? Or… Someone she knew?
Unfortunately, she never saw their face.
Felicia rubbed her temples. Her body still felt weak; the wounds hadn’t healed, and she was still in pain. After changing the bandages, she ordered some takeout.
A few minutes later, the doorbell
rang.
Was takeout delivery usually this quick?
Felicia put on her slippers and went to answer the door. To her surprise, Myra and Kayla were standing there!
They were both covered up, wearing hats, masks, and sunglasses, probably to avoid the media and reporters.
But what baffled Felicia was why they were here to see her.
She stood at the door, blocking their way, and Myra didn’t want to enter. She first asked a question that had already been stamped with judgment.
“Did
you
have something to do with Mina’s death?”
Felicia was speechless.
She repeatedly told herself not to feel wronged by other people’s slanders, misunderstandings, or unjust accusations.
But these words didn’t help much.
Especially when the person accusing her was her biological mother.
Chap 100
She took a deep breath, pushing down the anger rising inside her, and asked in return, “I had no grudge against Mina; why would I want to harm her?”
Myra had thought the same at first.
This morning, the Fuller family had been caught off guard by the news!
Who could have predicted that something that had already settled down would come back again?
Mina’s relatives had done exactly what Felicia had done before, bringing in many media outlets to cover the story. By the time Dexter found out, the police were already retrieving the body!
Mina’s death was identical to that of Ruben’s,
The only difference was that Mina was kidnapped and taken to a beach near Cedar Street, strangled, and then thrown into the water with the car.
With the same type of incident happening, the public uproar was even greater!
The Fuller family had Kayla as a precedent, and the online backlash was almost unanimous accusing Myra and Dexter of covering up for her murder, using a mental health report to clear her name.
Now that a second murder case had appeared, the Fuller family had motive and reason, making them the prime suspects in the eyes of the public!
No matter the investigation’s final result, the Fuller family’s already sinking ship could not be righted!
In just one night, the Fuller family’s shares evaporated by tens of billions!
Their businesses suffered, contracts were breached, the funding chain collapsed, and even their villa was targeted with bricks!
Dexter was surrounded when he went out this morning and was hit on the head, which required 16 stitches!
There was even an online debate claiming Kayla was the murderer and demanding the Fuller family turn her over as a criminal!
Myra could never believe that this was connected to Kayla!
After the incident with Ruben, Kayla reformed, becoming more obedient, thoughtful, and even quietly involved in several charity efforts.
She was already atoning for her past.
Furthermore, she had been under the watchful eyes of Myra and Dexter the whole time, so she had no motive or ability to commit such an act!

The only one left was Felicia!
