Felicia set down the dish of peeled grapes and cleared her throat, but instead of helping, she delivered another blow. âNot only did he pretend to be blind, but he abs Laked his death. The numors outside are everywhere, saying that Mr. Russell was poisoned and is on his deathbedâ¦â

She had cried ow

But after calming down and thinking it through, as the head of the Russell family, how many threats, both in the open and hidden, had Stephan faced over the years? Would he really go down because of something so trivial?
