Return of the Crowned Heiress
Chapter 607
It seemed like a ridiculous soap opera.
Here Archie was, having an affair, yet he was responding to Imogen wil a calin voice, carefully dispelling any of her doubts and suspicions.
How long had this been going on? How many times had it already played out? 13
Imogen didnât dare to think about it.
Even the slightest recollection of past details would cause everything she had found suspicious but ignored to resurface. They pieced together into a massive, terrifying web that left her suffocating
No wonder Johanna had stopped referring to Imogen as her sisterâinâlaw.
No wonder Johama was always trailing Archie wherever he went
No wonder she would often hear faint rustling sounds around her.

How laughable.
Imogen wanted to laugh out loud. To think that Archie and Imogen found their affair so thrilling that they even turned it into an exhilarating game in front of her! Meanwhile, she had been reduced to a fool. She had been trapped in a web of lies and treating those two as her most cherished loved ones, only to be betrayed! Wonderful. Just wonderful!
Imogen took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions. She buried everything deep within herself and pretended as if nothing had happened.

Imogen looked pained. âWell, what can I do? Iâm just a blind woman who canât see anythingâJohanna, are you mad at me?â
Johanna was about to retort when Archie stopped her. He signaled her not to cause a scene. They had important things to do today.
Johanna shut her mouth. Then, she latched onto Imogenâs arm and pouted. âOh, Imogen, how could I ever be mad at you? I was just worried youâd hurt yourself.â
âI see, Imogen replied flatly, silently watching their interaction coldly.
