Return of the Crowned Heiress (Felicia) novel Chapter 574

Archie quickly understood and responded, "Got it."

The other party remained silent.

Just as the call was about to end, Archie said again, "Mr. Carrell, don't forget our agreement. The thing you promised me… You'd better not go back on your word."

"Of course," the man on the other end replied with a faint laugh, his tone ambiguous. "You missed such a great opportunity in the rainforest. I hope you don't disappoint me again this time."

Archie echoed the caller's response, "Of course."

The call ended.

Johanna, who had listened to the entire conversation, felt her heart race in trepidation. "Archie you're not thinking of…"

"I am."

Archie smiled slightly, stroking her hair as he explained, "Mr. Russell has been poisoned, blinded, and is now in a coma. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity we can't afford to miss! As long as Stephan dies, Imogen will be the only one left in the Russell family.

"She's utterly devoted to me and has just given birth to my son. With this bond, the Russell family will eventually fall into my hands! Johanna, I've waited too long for this day. I won't wait any longer."

Archie smiled, his ambition burning brightly in his eyes and his expression radiating absolute determination.

Johanna felt her blood surge as though ignited by his words. Her whole body seemed to boil over with excitement. She nodded fervently. "Alright! No matter what you do, I'll stand by your side!"

"That's my girl."

Archie pinched her cheek and leaned closer with a wicked grin. "In that case, let's go again. Wouldn't want you sulking later, would we?"

"Oh, you're terrible…" Johanna blushed and tried to push him away.

But as their eyes met, it was as though drops of water had fallen into a sizzling hot pan. In an instant, the heat boiled over, burning away all reason.
