Their arrival was by private jet. She didn't want to cause too much of a commotion; after all, whether she could treat the patient remained uncertain. Imogen, however, merely shrugged, looking confused. “Huh? It’s nothing much. This is just how we normally travel!” Everyone knew she was rich and powerful.
She needed to prepare some medicinal ingredients, so they scheduled the departure for three days later. At the Russell estate in Seldvale, Johanna received the reply to the consultation request—a request she had sent using Imogen’s name. She hadn't dared make such a move while Stephan was around, but seized the opportunity the moment he left Khogend and submitted the request to the Union, working to bring Felicia for the consultation.
During this time, Johanna persistently whispered to Imogen, claiming to have discovered an unparalleled doctor in Khogend during her last visit—a person capable of curing Imogen's blindness! At first, Imogen didn't believe her. Years of blindness and countless disappointments had led her to give up hope. However, Johanna's eloquence eventually wore her down, painting Felicia's medical skills as divine. Finally, Johanna delivered a decisive push: “Imogen, don’t you want to know what your baby looks like when it’s born? Only by restoring your vision will you be able to see them with your own eyes.” Johanna knew Imogen well; she had hit her soft spot.
From then on, Imogen felt a flicker of hope, something she hadn't felt in years. She eagerly anticipated the arrival of the unrivaled doctor Johanna had promised, anticipating the possibility of regaining her sight. Felicia, however, would recognize this tactic for what it was: a calculated setup. By raising someone's expectations, the crushing disappointment of failure would deepen their despair, resulting in hatred and resentment aimed at the one who represented that false hope. Johanna smiled faintly.
By then, she would reveal the truth: Auchle’s death was connected to the daughter of the Fuller family, and the miracle doctor they had invited was none other than that daughter. Imogen would undoubtedly lose her mind. Archie was Imogen's uncrossable bottom line. Knowing her enemy's daughter was present might cause Imogen to lash out at Felicia. With Imogen in the picture, Stephan and Felicia's relationship wouldn't stand a chance. Just those thoughts brought Johanna great joy.
Three days passed quickly. The private jet touched down at the Russell family's private airstrip behind their estate in Seldvale. As the cabin door opened, bright sunlight poured in. Lounging on the leather couch, Felicia stretched lazily and asked, “We’ve arrived?”
“We’re currently at the Russell family’s private airstrip behind the main residence. Those villas up ahead are part of the main estate,” Stanley explained enthusiastically. He added, "The car is already waiting nearby. It took about ten minutes to drive from the airstrip to the villa." The estate exuded opulence. Felicia casually glanced around; the grandeur was undeniable. As the car stopped, Stanley quickly got out, walked around to her side, and opened the car door with a deep bow. He deliberately raised his voice, ensuring everyone could hear: “Miss Russell!”
Felicia felt awkward. But the most uncomfortable person was Johanna, standing at the villa entrance. Her expression darkened upon hearing how Stanley addressed Felicia.
