Return of the Crowned Heiress Chapter 484

Johanna felt that Stanley wasn’t just scolding the otherschut indirectly mocking her as well!

That damned bastard was niining her plans again!

Johanna sneered coldly, “Stanley, you dare defy Imogen’s onders? Don’t forget that you’re just a dog the Russell family hired. And now, you’re disobeying your master to defend an outsider?

Though her words were harsh, Stanley didn’t so much as blink. Instead, he simply chuckled nonchalantly and corrected her, “I’m not the Russell family’s dog. I’m Mr. Russell’s personal dog, and his order was for me to protect Mrs. Russell That’s the only order I’ll follow.”

Having said this, Stanley turned to the other subordinates and baked, “Stand down!”

Without hesitation, they retreated like a receding tide, leaving no one behind.

It wasn’t that they didn’t respect Imogen, but Stanley, as Stephan’s trusted alde, represented his will The moment he addressed Felicia as Mrs. Russell, 1 dared lay a finger on her.

After all, they were first and foremost Stephan’s subordinates

“Fine! Perfect! This is just great!” Johanna sneered, glaring at Stanley. “You’d better not regret this!”

Stanley shook his head without responding

Johanna shot Felicia a vicious glare betore turning on her heel and leaving

Felicia calmly stowed her silver needles away. She had

poisons on her, and while she didn’t mind using them, she found it a little

She rubbed her temples, feeling exasperated. “What’s with Ms. Russell? One minute, she’s fine, the next, she’s flipping out and sending people to tie me up. There’s got to be a reason, right?”

Stanley scratched his head, equally clueless “How about this, ma’am? You head back to your coom,–

, and I’ll go investigate the matter.”

“No need. Let’s go together and save some time going back and forth.”

“That works too.”

Felicia started heading toward Imogen’s room. Just as they arrived at the room, they heard the sound of objects smashing inside Moments later, Johanna emerged, having clearly just finished making her report.

Upon seeing Felicia, Johanna’s expression shifted to one of wariness, mixed with provocation. She raised her voice and said, welcome!”

“What are you doing here? You’re not

Imogen was blind, but she wasn’t deat, she immediately tumed her attention toward the commotion at the door. Her face was devoid of the usual gentleness, replaced by unbridled fury

Stanley, trailing behind felicia, hesitated before speaking softly, “Ms. Russell, is there some land of misunderstanding?”

Hearing his voice, Imogen grabbed the last pillow on her bed and hurled it in his direction, shouting, “You’re just in time! Stanley, tell me, does the person who alled Archie go by the last name Fuller?”

Standry’s expression darkened as he cast a quick glance at Johanna, realizing she had spilled everything to Imogen despite Stephan’s repeated warnings.

He hastily replied, “Ms. Russell, please hear me out. The current evidence may point in that direction, but there are still numerous unverified doubts! Mr. Russell suspects someone is deliberately misleading us. He’s still investigating, which is why he hasn’t told you yet!”

Imogen laughed, but her laughter was filled with battemess and despair. It was evident she didn’t believe a single word he said.

Anything related to Archie’s death would bring out the beast within Imogen.

Avenging her beloved was the one thing she had been determined to do.

Clues had emerged, only for someone to deliberately conceal them from her, as if mocking her blindness. T well, incapable of seeing the truth

How cruel and heartless

They wanted her not only to remain blind but dead as

the life out of her.

The suffocating darkness of her world, coupled with the isolation and helplessness, was crushing the “Tell Stephan to come and see me! I want him to say it to my face!” Imogen wiped the tears from her face, her voice icy as she said, “All of you, get out right now! Especially that Fuller family member! Get out! Now!!
