Felicia felt a chill run down her spine. Her dream felt like a warning. “What’s the news? Did something happen to Stephan?”

Stanley nodded, quickly regaining his composure. He immediately began organizing his team, instructing them to prepare their gear and arrange for helicopters. After completing the preparations, Stanley turned to Felicia. “Mrs. Russell, I’ll leave a team here to protect you. Something happened to Mr. Russell, and I need to take a team to him.”

As he was about to leave, Felicia grabbed his shoulder. “I’m coming too.”

Ten minutes later, nine helicopters lifted off in the same direction.

Back at the Russell residence in Seldvale, Imogen’s irritation grew. Pregnancy was exhausting enough, but her hormones, coupled with Johanna’s constant prodding, made things worse. She was heartbroken over Archie’s death and furious that Stephan had kept the truth from her. His silence, despite her demands for an explanation, was infuriating. Two days had passed, and he hadn’t even called!

“That bastard! Did he abandon me for that Fuller girl?” Imogen slammed her hand on the table. Johanna smirked; her instigation seemed to be working.

Johanna cleared her throat and feigned concern. “Imogen, it seems Stephan is choosing Felicia over you. If she marries into the Russell family, we won’t be able to bring my brother to justice.”

Imogen was enraged. “Don’t even think about it! Over my dead body! I’ll never allow that to happen!”

“Imogen, we should take matters into our own hands if Stephan refuses to act. Why not use this opportunity to eliminate Felicia and the entire Fuller family? They must pay with their lives for Archie’s sake!”

Johanna’s words were cruel, a stark contrast to her usual gentle demeanor.

Imogen shifted uncomfortably, placing a hand on her belly. She frowned. “Dexter killed Archie. This has nothing to do with Felicia. Targeting her won’t help us.”

“Imogen…” Johanna bit her lip, realizing she’d overstepped. She quickly changed tactics. “You’re right—Dexter did it. But Felicia is his daughter. She might have known something and stayed silent! Besides, who else can avenge Archie but you and me?”

Imogen sighed, her eyes brimming with tears. Of course, she wanted revenge and justice for Archie, the father of her child. But the thought of bloodshed made her physically ill. Her stomach churned, her limbs weakened. She couldn’t even issue the order, let alone carry it out.

Johanna clenched her teeth in frustration. She’d always known Imogen would falter. This was Stephan’s fault for sheltering his sister! Because of him, Imogen had never encountered the darker side of human nature. She couldn’t even face her enemies. How could someone like this claim to love Archie? It was ridiculous!

Johanna wanted to press further, but Imogen shook her head. “Don’t force me, Johanna. I need time to think…”

“Imogen, there won’t be another chance! Do you want Felicia to become your sister-in-law? If that happens, the Russell family will be hers. How will we ever talk about revenge again?” Johanna sneered. “Archie is dead, yet you’re willing to make peace with the family responsible? You would even become their in-laws? You’re so cruel, Imogen.”

She pressed relentlessly, cornering Imogen.
