Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 544

As soon as the helicopter landed steadily, Felicia had already put her shoes back on. The blisters on her feet had been treated, so the pain was much less severe and didn't hinder her from walking.

Stephan was the first to disembark. He then turned back and extended his hand toward Felicia.

Felicia didn't hesitate and placed her hand in his. With his assistance, she jumped down from the helicopter.

Before she could fully steady herself, an angry voice from a short distance away rang out. "Stephan! So, you do know how to come back! I thought you didn't care about me anymore! All you think about is that Fuller girl!"

When the helicopter landed moments ago, Johanna had already relayed the scene to Imogen. Of course, her description emphasized two key individuals—Stephan and Felicia.

Due to Johanna's words, Imogen's already pent-up frustrations were immediately directed at Felicia. Her hostility was unmistakable.

Felicia was mildly surprised. She hadn't expected Imogen to personally come to this dangerous rainforest, especially while heavily pregnant!

It was evident that the bond between the siblings was genuine.

Once Felicia steadied herself, she instinctively tried to withdraw her hand. However, she found that Stephan had no intention of letting go. She tugged slightly, but his grip only tightened.

"Imogen, didn't I tell you to leave? Why are you still here?" Stephan frowned. His tone was soft, though it carried an undertone of exasperation.

Fortunately, the explosion site from earlier was far away enough to avoid affecting this area. Otherwise, it would've been terrible to have a pregnant woman caught in all that mess.

Imogen, however, was too angry to think rationally. Coupled with her vision impairment, she couldn't see the disheveled and bloodied state of Stephan and his group.

She only knew she had spent days anxiously waiting outside the rainforest, unable to eat or sleep. Day after day of worrying and waiting had left her with nothing but pent-up frustration and anger.

Now, finally seeing Stephan in person, her suppressed rage surged uncontrollably.

Johanna's eyes flickered with unease, but no one paid any attention to her.

Stephan's expression darkened, the usual glint of amusement absent from his eyes. He summoned Andy, who had been staying by Imogen's side, and asked, "What happened while I was gone?"

Right as Andy was about to give his report, Stanley stepped forward, patting him on the shoulder. Stanley cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Russell, let me explain."

With that, Stanley vividly recounted everything that had transpired after Stephan left Khogend.

He described how Felicia had accepted the Russell family's request for medical consultation and traveled to Seldvale to diagnose and treat Imogen's eyes. Felicia had even assured them that the condition was treatable and prepared the necessary medicinal ingredients.

Initially, Felicia and Imogen had gotten along well, but everything changed when Johanna brought up the death of Archie, hinting that it was connected to the Fuller family. Enraged, Imogen turned against Felicia, her hatred for the Fuller family extending to her. She even kicked her out of the Russell residence.
