Before coming to Union Clinic, Johanna spent the entire night investigating and finally solved the complex web of relationships in Khogend. Her primary focus was the Fuller family. To avenge Archie, she needed a breakthrough; her most urgent task was to destabilize the Fuller family, causing chaos and public scrutiny.
She first considered exploiting their past mistakes. Dexter and Myra had once gone to great lengths to protect Kayla, the murderer, defying public opinion and severing ties with many to forcefully shield her. They even expelled Felicia from their home. What if this happened again? If the Fuller family fell from grace, who would they protect then? Bankruptcy seemed inevitable.
Johanna's thoughts turned to Felicia, the Fuller family's true heiress. Her investigation revealed Felicia had opened a medical center and gained renown as a miracle healer in Khogend. Johanna, curious and eager to cooperate, used the pretext of seeking treatment for Imogen to visit Union Clinic. Unexpectedly, Felicia refused to meet her.
Suppressing her anger, Johanna raised her chin. "Tell Ms. Fuller I can help her fulfill her wish. I'll be waiting." The implication was clear: Felicia would suffer if she refused.
The seasoned physician, confused by this sudden shift from treatment request to demand for a meeting, nonetheless called Felicia and relayed the message. Felicia, preoccupied with capturing Baldy and exposing the mastermind behind Carmen's murder, interpreted "fulfill her wish" as related to this and immediately went to Union Clinic.
Johanna, sipping tea in the reception room, saw the door open. Her assistant, Kerry, bowed to the person behind her. "Ms. Fuller, this is the guest who wishes to see you."
Felicia entered with a brief acknowledgment. Exhaustion was evident—bloodshot eyes, unchanged clothes, hair haphazardly tied. Yet, her beauty was undeniable, striking and alluring.
Johanna's hand froze, spilling tea. She'd seen Felicia's photos, but in person, she was even more stunning. Her aura—cool, distant, indifferent—was captivating, mysterious, and noble, yet seemingly impenetrable.
Johanna watched intently, captivated and consumed by a fierce jealousy. Even the thought of the woman who'd called Stephan resembling Felicia sparked envy. Felicia, long accustomed to such attention, remained unmoved.
