Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 293

Imogen didn't sense anything unusual and smiled. "Alright. Let's go home!"

The private jet had landed at the Russell residence.

The Russell residence was vast, nestled between the mountains and by the water. The front was home to the villa, while the back featured a large helipad. Aside from a few private planes, several helicopters of various types were also parked in a row.

After a short drive, they arrived at the villa from the private airport at the back of the mountain.

Throughout the journey, Johanna sat beside Imogen, holding her hand and carefully supporting her. However, Stephan didn't spare her a single glance.

Johanna felt a pang of anxiety.

Thankfully, Imogen took the initiative to bring the conversation to her, winking and asking straightforwardly, "Stephan, what do you think of Johanna?"

Johanna lowered her head slightly, pretending not to hear, though her ears turned pink.

Both Imogen and Johanna waited for Stephan's answer.

He had been looking at his phone, his finger hovering over Felicia's WhatsApp profile. He had specifically created an account to add her, but the friend request had remained pending.

He didn't believe that she hadn't seen it. She was just someone who, after taking everything, would suddenly turn her back and pretend she didn't know him!

When he heard Imogen's question, he looked up, and his gaze landed on Johanna for the first time. However, his expression was indifferent and cruel.

He said, "Not much."

The coldness in his words was unfeeling, with no consideration for anyone's feelings.

Imogen's expression changed, and a flash of anger appeared. Just as she was about to speak, Johanna quickly held her back.

His words deeply hurt Johanna, but she understood his response was a warning. The more Imogen pushed them to be together, the more it would backfire!

When they were young, it was she who protected him.

After the death of their parents, she took on not just the role of an older sister but also became half a mother to him.

They had always relied on each other and shared a deep bond.

At the age of 20, Imogen had shielded Stephan from an assassination attempt, resulting in her blindness.

Growing up surrounded by enemies, Stephan had ruthlessly fought through it all, eventually eliminating every threat to the Russell family.

The so-called "relatives" who had caused Imogen to lose her sight had been subjected to gruesome torture and died horribly.

With his ruthless methods, he cleared every obstacle and created a worry-free world for his blind sister.

However, Imogen didn't know that the little brother she once protected had long since become a formidable and fearsome man with power and influence beyond imagination.
